Application Note
SM73308
The SM73308 is a precision amplifier with very low noise and
ultra low offset voltage. SM73308's extended temperature
range of −40°C to 125°C enables the user to design a variety
of applications including automotive.
The SM73308 has a maximum offset voltage of 1mV over the
extended temperature range. This makes the SM73308 ideal
for applications where precision is important.
INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER
Measurement of very small signals with an amplifier requires
close attention to the input impedance of the amplifier, gain
of the overall signal on the inputs, and the gain on each input
since we are only interested in the difference of the two inputs
and the common signal is considered noise. A classic solution
is an instrumentation amplifier. Instrumentation amplifiers
have a finite, accurate, and stable gain. Also they have ex-
tremely high input impedances and very low output
impedances. Finally they have an extremely high CMRR so
that the amplifier can only respond to the differential signal. A
typical instrumentation amplifier is shown in Figure 1.
30155536
FIGURE 1. Instrumentation Amplifier
There are two stages in this amplifier. The last stage, output
stage, is a differential amplifier. In an ideal case the two am-
plifiers of the first stage, input stage, would be set up as
buffers to isolate the inputs. However they cannot be con-
nected as followers because of real amplifier's mismatch.
That is why there is a balancing resistor between the two. The
product of the two stages of gain will give the gain of the in-
strumentation amplifier. Ideally, the CMRR should be infinite.
However the output stage has a small non-zero common
mode gain which results from resistor mismatch.
In the input stage of the circuit, current is the same across all
resistors. This is due to the high input impedance and low
input bias current of the SM73308. With the node equations
we have:
(1)
By Ohm’s Law:
(2)
However:
(3)
So we have:
(4)
Now looking at the output of the instrumentation amplifier:
(5)
Substituting from Equation 4:
(6)
This shows the gain of the instrumentation amplifier to be:
−K(2a+1)
Typical values for this circuit can be obtained by setting: a =
12 and K= 4. This results in an overall gain of −100.
Figure 2 shows typical CMRR characteristics of this Instru-
mentation amplifier over frequency. Three SM73308 ampli-
fiers are used along with 1% resistors to minimize resistor
mismatch. Resistors used to build the circuit are: R1 =
21.6k, R11 = 1.8k, R2 = 2.5k with K = 40 and a = 12. This
results in an overall gain of −1000, −K(2a+1) = −1000.

ACTIVE FILTER
Active filters are circuits with amplifiers, resistors, and capac-
itors. The use of amplifiers instead of inductors, which are
used in passive filters, enhances the circuit performance
while reducing the size and complexity of the filter.
The simplest active filters are designed using an inverting op
amp configuration where at least one reactive element has
been added to the configuration. This means that the op amp
will provide "frequency-dependent" amplification, since reac-
tive elements are frequency dependent devices.
LOW PASS FILTER
The following shows a very simple low pass filter.
30155547
FIGURE 3. Lowpass Filter
The transfer function can be expressed as follows:
By KCL:
(7)
Simplifying this further results in:
(8)
or
(9)
Now, substituting ω=2πf, so that the calculations are in f(Hz)
and not ω(rad/s), and setting the DC gain HO = −R2/R1 and
H = VO/Vi
(10)
Set: fo = 1/(2πR1C)
(11)
Low pass filters are known as lossy integrators because they
only behave as an integrator at higher frequencies. Just by
looking at the transfer function one can predict the general
form of the bode plot. When the f/fO ratio is small, the capacitor
is in effect an open circuit and the amplifier behaves at a set
DC gain. Starting at fO, −3dB corner, the capacitor will have
the dominant impedance and hence the circuit will behave as
an integrator and the signal will be attenuated and eventually
cut. The bode plot for this filter is shown in the following pic-
ture:
30155553
FIGURE 4. Lowpass Filter Transfer Function
www.national.com 14
SM73308
HIGH PASS FILTER
In a similar approach, one can derive the transfer function of
a high pass filter. A typical first order high pass filter is shown
below:
30155554
FIGURE 5. Highpass FIlter
Writing the KCL for this circuit :
(V1 denotes the voltage between C and R1)
(12)
(13)
Solving these two equations to find the transfer function and
using:
(high frequency gain) and
Which results:
(14)
Looking at the transfer function, it is clear that when f/fO is
small, the capacitor is open and hence no signal is getting in
to the amplifier. As the frequency increases the amplifier
starts operating. At f = fO the capacitor behaves like a short
circuit and the amplifier will have a constant, high frequency,
gain of HO. Figure 6 shows the transfer function of this high
pass filter:
30155558
FIGURE 6. Highpass Filter Transfer Function
BAND PASS FILTER
30155560
FIGURE 7. Bandpass Filter
Combining a low pass filter and a high pass filter will generate
a band pass filter. In this network the input impedance forms
the high pass filter while the feedback impedance forms the
low pass filter. Choosing the corner frequencies so that f1 <
f2, then all the frequencies in between, f1 f f2, will pass
through the filter while frequencies below f1 and above f2 will
be cut off.
The transfer function can be easily calculated using the same
methodology as before.
(15)

The transfer function is presented in the following figure.

FIGURE 8. Bandpass filter Transfer Function
STATE VARIABLE ACTIVE FILTER
State variable active filters are circuits that can simultane-
ously represent high pass, band pass, and low pass filters.
The state variable active filter uses three separate amplifiers
to achieve this task. A typical state variable active filter is
shown in Figure 9. The first amplifier in the circuit is connected
as a gain stage. The second and third amplifiers are connect-
ed as integrators, which means they behave as low pass
filters. The feedback path from the output of the third amplifier
to the first amplifier enables this low frequency signal to be
fed back with a finite and fairly low closed loop gain. This is
while the high frequency signal on the input is still gained up
by the open loop gain of the 1st amplifier. This makes the first
amplifier a high pass filter. The high pass signal is then fed
into a low pass filter. The outcome is a band pass signal,
meaning the second amplifier is a band pass filter. This signal
is then fed into the third amplifiers input and so, the third am-
plifier behaves as a simple low pass filter.
30155574
FIGURE 9. State Variable Active Filter
The transfer function of each filter needs to be calculated. The
derivations will be more trivial if each stage of the filter is
shown on its own.
The three components are:
30155580
30155581
For A1 the relationship between input and output is:
This relationship depends on the output of all the filters. The
input-output relationship for A2 can be expressed as:
And finally this relationship for A3 is as follows:
Re-arranging these equations, one can find the relationship
between VO and VIN (transfer function of the lowpass filter),
VO1 and VIN (transfer function of the highpass filter), and
VO2 and VIN (transfer function of the bandpass filter) These
relationships are as follows:
Lowpass Filter
Highpass Filter

SM73308
Bandpass Filter
The center frequency and Quality Factor for all of these filters
is the same. The values can be calculated in the following
manner:
A design example is shown here:
Designing a bandpass filter with center frequency of 10kHz
and Quality Factor of 5.5
To do this, first consider the Quality Factor. It is best to pick
convenient values for the capacitors. C2 = C3 = 1000pF. Also,
choose R1 = R4 = 30k. Now values of R5 and R6 need to be
calculated. With the chosen values for the capacitors and re-
sistors, Q reduces to:
or
R5 = 10R6
R6 = 1.5k
R5 = 15k
Also, for f = 10kHz, the center frequency is ωc = 2πf =
62.8kHz.
Using the expressions above, the appropriate resistor values
will be R2 = R3 = 16kΩ.
The following graphs show the transfer function of each of the
filters. The DC gain of this circuit is:
