In part 1 of this pair of articles, we ran SPICE noise simulations on a simple second order lowpass filter. We saw that there is something fundamental about the ‘hold’ that the filter’s capacitor ...

In the wonderful world of integrated circuits, filters play a key role in many important functions within a system design. There are many types of filter architectures from which to choose, but one of ...

Digital signal processors (DSPs) continue to receive a great deal of attention in new product design. For example, digital filter design reflects the importance of understanding and using this ...

In part one of a two part series, we unpack why digital equalizers and filters sound characteristically harsh. By Christian Luther. Digital filters (for instance, in equalizer plugins) traditionally ...

Fig 1. Digital filters are just a combination of multiplications and accumulations. Shown are an IIR filter with feedback and an FIR filter with a series of weighted samples (taps). Fig 2. Starting ...
