Second-Order Butterworth Low-Pass Filter
Drawing preview
The scenario

Designing a maximally flat two-pole low-pass filter for audio or sensor signal conditioning.

What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Use equal source and load termination (1kΩ) for Butterworth response

02

Choose L=22.5mH and C=22.5nF for 10 kHz cutoff

When a simple, passive second-order low-pass filter is acceptable and no gain is required.
