Abstract
In electrical and electronic engineering, the filter is a very important circuit.
This report presents a voltage-mode three-input single-output second-order mul-
tifunction filter based on an RLC parallel circuit. The main active element used
is the commercially available IC from Linear Technology Inc., LT1228. The filter
consists of a single LT1228, a single resistor, and two capacitors, allowing for five
output second-order filter responses: bandpass (BP), band-stop (BS), high-pass
(HP), low-pass (LP), and all-pass (AP) functions without the need for component
matching conditions or double gain amplifiers. The quality factor and natural fre-
quency can be electronically controlled. PSpice simulation results using the macro
model of LT1228 are in close agreement with theory.
1 Introduction
In the field of electrical and electronic engineering, filters play a fundamental and in-
dispensable role. Filters are electronic circuits designed to selectively pass or block
certain frequencies of signals, making them a crucial building block in various appli-
cations. Among the numerous filter types, the second-order filter, often referred to as
a biquadratic filter, holds particular significance. These filters serve as the foundation
for designing higher-order filters, making them a key component in signal processing and
electronic system design [1].
Second-order multifunction filters, which can provide multiple filter responses within
a single circuit, have gained considerable attention and represent an intriguing area of
research. Among these multifunction filters, the multiple-inputs single-output (MISO)
universal filter stands out as a prominent category. Voltage-mode MISO filters enable
the selection of output responses by switching input voltages on or off, all without neces-
sitating passive and active component matching conditions. Crucially, they eliminate the
need for additional double gain amplifiers, simplifying circuit design and implementation
[2].
In existing literature, several MISO universal filters have been proposed, each with
its unique characteristics and limitations. Unfortunately, many of these filters require
specific matching conditions, additional amplifiers, or components that are not readily
commercially available. This report introduces a novel second-order voltage-mode MISO
multifunction filter that overcomes these limitations. It leverages the LT1228 integrated
circuit (IC) from Linear Technology Inc. as the primary active element. This IC offers
versatility by combining an operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) and a current
feedback amplifier. Notably, the proposed filter can generate five standard second-order
filter responses: bandpass (BP), band-stop (BS), high-pass (HP), low-pass (LP), and all-
pass (AP) functions. Importantly, these responses can be selected without the need for
component matching conditions or double gain amplifiers. Moreover, the filter allows for
the electronic control of quality factors and natural frequencies, enhancing its flexibility
and adaptability. The core circuit of the filter comprises a single LT1228 IC, a single
resistor, and two capacitors [3].
The following sections of this report will provide a detailed analysis of the circuit
configuration, the theory behind the proposed filter, simulation results, and a conclusion
highlighting its key contributions and implications for practical applications.

3 Significance of Second Order Filters
Second-order filters are a common type of electronic filter used in various applications.
They are significant and widely used because they offer a balance between complexity,
performance, and practicality. Here are some of the key significances and advantages of
second-order filters:
• Frequency Response Control: Second-order filters allow for precise control over the
frequency response of a circuit. They can be designed as low-pass, high-pass, band-
pass, or band-stop filters, depending on the desired application. This flexibility
makes them suitable for a wide range of signal processing tasks.
• Improved Roll-off: Compared to first-order filters (which have a 20 dB/decade
roll-off rate), second-order filters have a steeper roll-off rate of 40 dB/decade. This
means that they attenuate frequencies outside the passband more quickly, providing
better selectivity and rejection of unwanted frequencies.
• Enhanced Bandwidth: Second-order filters often have a wider bandwidth compared
to higher-order filters. This makes them suitable for applications where a compro-
mise between selectivity and signal bandwidth is needed.
• Minimal Phase Distortion: Second-order filters generally introduce less phase distor-
tion to the filtered signal compared to higher-order filters. This property is crucial
in applications where phase relationships between different frequency components
of the signal must be preserved, such as in audio and communication systems
• Simplicity: Second-order filters are more straightforward to design and imple-
ment than higher-order filters. They require fewer components, making them cost-
effective and easier to tune and maintain.
• Resonance Control: Second-order filters can be designed to exhibit resonance at a
specific frequency. This property is useful in applications such as audio equalizers,
where resonance can enhance the response at certain frequencies.
• Real-World Compatibility: Second-order filters are often preferred in practical ap-
plications because they strike a balance between performance and real-world con-
siderations such as component tolerances, noise, and stability
• Amplitude and Phase Trade-off: Second-order filters allow designers to make trade-
offs between amplitude response (filtering characteristics) and phase response (delay
introduced by the filter). This flexibility is essential in applications like audio
equalization.
• Versatility: Second-order filters are commonly used as building blocks in more
complex filter designs. By cascading or combining them, higher-order filters or
filters with specialized characteristics can be created.
In summary, second-order filters are significant because they offer a practical and
versatile solution for controlling the frequency response of electronic circuits. Their com-
bination of performance, simplicity, and versatility makes them a valuable tool in a wide
range of applications, including audio processing, telecommunications, control systems,
and more.

3.1 MISO Universal Filters
A Multiple-Input, Single-Output (MISO) universal filter is a type of electronic filter
that accepts multiple input signals and produces a single output signal while providing
flexibility in shaping the frequency response. MISO filters are commonly used in various
signal processing applications to extract or manipulate specific frequency components
from multiple input signals.
• Additional double gain amplifiers are often needed, increasing circuit complexity.
• Filter Design: Designing MISO filters with the desired frequency response and char-
acteristics can be complex, particularly when dealing with multiple input signals.
Balancing the trade-offs between filter order, bandwidth, and response shape can
be challenging.

• Power Efficiency: CMOS circuits are highly power-efficient because they consume
power only when they switch states, making them ideal for battery-powered devices.
BJTs, on the other hand, consume continuous power due to the flow of current
through them even when they are in a steady state.
• Speed: CMOS circuits generally have slower switching speeds compared to BJTs.
However, advancements in technology have significantly increased the speed of
CMOS circuits, making them competitive in many high-speed applications.
• Noise Immunity: CMOS circuits have good noise immunity due to the inherent
property of their design where both NMOS and PMOS transistors are used, result-
ing in noise immunity and better performance in noisy environments. BJTs are
more susceptible to noise.
• Fabrication and Cost: CMOS technology is widely used in modern integrated cir-
cuits because of its compatibility with high-density fabrication processes, leading to
smaller and more cost-effective chips. BJTs are used in specific applications where
their characteristics are crucial, but they are less common in modern integrated
circuits.
• Voltage Levels: CMOS circuits can operate at lower voltage levels compared to
BJTs, which often require higher voltage levels for proper functioning.
In summary, CMOS circuits are generally favored in modern digital integrated circuits
due to their low power consumption, noise immunity, and compatibility with high-density
fabrication processes. However, BJTs still find applications in certain analog circuits,
high-power applications, and in instances where their unique characteristics are necessary
for specific functionalities.
