Single-Supply, Sallen-Key Filter
Figure 12 shows the schematic for the single-supply, Sallen-Key filter circuit configuration.
Figure 12. Single-Supply, Sallen-Key Filter Schematic
Sallen-Key is one of the most commonly applied active filter topologies. The Sallen-Key is a non-inverting,
voltage-controlled, voltage-source (VCVS) able to attain larger Qs with a stable response than other filter
topologies. Because Sallen-Key is non-inverting, it might be preferable over the MFB topology.
The single-supply, Sallen-Key filter can be configured as a low-pass filter, high-pass filter, or band-pass
filter based on the component selection of Z1 through Z5. Table 4 displays the type of passive component

Single-Supply, Non-Inverting Amplifier
Figure 15 shows the schematic for the single-supply, non-inverting amplifier circuit configuration.
Figure 15. Single-Supply, Non-Inverting Amplifier Schematic
The non-inverting op-amp configuration takes an input signal that is applied directly to the high
impedance, non-inverting input terminal and outputs a signal that is the same polarity as the input signal.
The load resistance for this topology is the sum of R1 and R2. The values of the resistors in the feedback
network will determine the amount of gain to amplify the input signal.
There are multiple ways to configure the single-supply, non-inverting amplifier. The following cases show
three primary use case configurations for this circuit.

Case 1: Standard non-inverting circuit
This circuit board can be configured into a standard non-inverting circuit by shorting C3 and C4 with a 0-Ω
resistor and leaving R3 and R4 unpopulated.

Case 2: AC coupled, single-supply, non-inverting circuit
This circuit board can be configured into an AC coupled non-inverting circuit by populating C3 and C4 with
capacitors and populating R3 or R4 with resistors. R3 and R4 are used to set the DC output in the
following two ways:
Option 1: VREF is directly applied to the input IN+
• R3 is populated with the desired biasing resistor
• R4 is unpopulated
Option 2: VREF is divided down and applied to the input IN+
• R3 and R4 are populated with resistors, see Equation 4

The AC response of the input signal is high-passed through C4, R3 + R4. The op-amp noise-gain is unitygain until the gain begins to rise at the zero frequency defined in Equation 5.

Case 3: Non-inverting signal scaling circuit
This circuit board can be configured into a non-inverting signal scaling circuit by shorting C3 with a 0-Ω
resistor and populating C4 with a resistor. This forms a 3-resistor divider with R3 and R4 on the input to
scale or shift the input signal level. The op amp is typically configured as a unity-gain buffer.

The inverting op-amp configuration takes an input signal that is applied directly to the inverting input
terminal and outputs a signal that is the opposite polarity as the input signal. The benefit of this topology is
that it avoids common mode limitations. The load resistance for this topology is equal to R2. The values of
the resistors in the feedback network will determine the amount of gain to amplify the input signal.
The single-supply, inverting amplifier circuit provides the option to AC couple the input, filter the output,
and bias the output of the amplifier to a desired value.

Inverting Comparator
Figure 30 shows the schematic for the inverting comparator circuit configuration.
Figure 30. Inverting Comparator Schematic
It is important to note that this circuit layout is meant for SOIC package op amps or push-pull output type
comparators. This configuration uses a voltage divider R1 and R2 to set up the threshold voltage when no
hysteresis is added. The comparator will compare the input signal (Vin) to the threshold voltage (Vth).

The comparator input signal is applied to the inverting input, so the output will have an inverted polarity.
When Vin > Vth, the output will drive to the negative supply (GND or logic low). When Vin < Vth, the
output will drive to the positive supply (V+ or logic high).
R3 can be populated to implement hysteresis which uses two different threshold voltages to avoid the
multiple transitions. The input signal must exceed the upper threshold (VH) to transition low or below the
lower threshold (VL) to transition high. Equation 19 and Equation 20 will calculate the value of R2 and R3
for the two desired thresholds.

In situations where stability is affected by capacitive loads, the Riso dual-feedback configuration has the
ability to stabilize the circuit by compensating the contribution of the capacitive load to circuit instability.
This capacitive load compensation technique uses an isolation resistor that compensates the circuit by
adding a zero to cancel the pole from the output impedance and capacitive load. Refer to the TI Precision
Labs - Op Amps: Stability 5 video for detailed information on this technique.
The design steps for the Riso method follow:
1. Use TINA-TI™ to find the zero frequency, fZERO, where AOL_Loaded = 20 dB (example shown in Figure 37).
Figure 37. Example of fZERO, Where AOL_Loaded = 20 dB
2. Calculate Riso to set the zero at fZERO – this will yield between 60° and 90° of phase margin
1
Riso =
2p ´ fZERO ´ CLoad
where
•
•
Riso = R3
CLoad = C4
(25)
While the Riso circuit is both simple to implement and design, it has a big disadvantage in precision
circuits. The voltage drop from Riso is dependent on the output current or output load, and may be
significant compared to the desired signal.
The second capacitive load compensation technique uses the Riso with dual-feedback stability
compensation method. The Riso dual-feedback circuit solves the voltage drop disadvantage of the
previously stated Riso. Refer to the TI Precision Labs - Op Amps: Stability 6 video for detailed information
on this technique.
Design steps for the Riso method follow:
1. Riso using Method 1: Riso techniques
2. Set R1: R1 ≥ (Riso × 100)
6Riso ´ CLoad
10Riso ´ CLoad
£ C1 £
R1
R1
Using this range ensures that the two feedback paths, R2 and C3, will never create a resonance that would
cause instability. Smaller values of C3 will result in faster settling time at the expense of overshoot for
certain load ranges. While the Riso dual-feedback circuit solves the dc accuracy issue with the Riso circuit, it
has some disadvantages as well. The disadvantage of this method is that the circuit is not as tolerant to
changes in the output capacitance and can quickly become unstable. Therefore, the Riso dual-feedback
circuit is best for situations where the output capacitance is known and will not vary significantly. This
method generally results in a slower settling time than the Riso circuit as well.

The non-inverting op-amp configuration takes an input signal that is applied directly to the high impedance
non-inverting input terminal and outputs a signal that is the same polarity as the input signal. The load
resistance for this topology is the sum of R1 and R2. The values of the resistors in the feedback network
will determine the amount of gain to amplify the input signal.

The inverting op-amp configuration takes an input signal that is applied directly to the inverting input
terminal and outputs a signal that is the opposite polarity as the input signal. The benefit of this topology is
that it avoids common mode limitations. The load resistance for this topology is equal to R2. The values of
the resistors in the feedback network will determine the amount of gain to amplify the input signal.
