Active Low Pass Filter Calculator

This is a first-order, single pole, active RC low pass filter calculator composed of two stages, RC filter and op-amp buffer. Set the desired cutoff frequency to generate resistor and capacitor values, then adjust the bode plot max frequency to view the response over the desired frequency sweep.

A technical schematic for a 8-channel Active Low Pass Filter. The page features six identical active filter circuits arranged in two columns, labeled VIN1 through VIN6. Each circuit utilizes an MCP601T op-amp with varying capacitor and resistor values to achieve specific -3dB cutoff frequencies ranging from 1 Hz to 10 MHz.
