AD743AN INPUT IMPEDANCE COMPENSATED, SALLEN-KEYC11250pFFILTER The simple high-pass filter of Figure 13 has an important source R1 of error which is often overlooked. Even 5 pF of input capacitance 110M ⍀ R2(5 ⴛ 22M ⍀ )9k ⍀ in amplifier A will contribute an additional 1% of pass-band ampli- tude error, as well as distortion, proportional to the C/V characteristics R3C2 of the input junction capacitance. The addition of the network 1k ⍀ 2.2 F designated Z will balance the source impedance—as seen by R4 A—and thus eliminate these errors. 18M ⍀ AD711+VZSR5500k ⍀ 18M ⍀ C3A2.2 F1000pF1000pF 500k ⍀ –VS1000pFOUTPUT500k ⍀ AD7430.8mV/pCZB AND K MODEL500k ⍀ 4370 OR1000pFEQUIVALENT Figure 13.
