Welcome to this FilterLab 3.1 Tutorial! 🎛️✨
In this video, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about Microchip’s FilterLab—a powerful tool for designing active analog filters using operational amplifiers.
What You’ll Learn:
âś… How to design low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and anti-aliasing filters
âś… Choosing passband and stopband frequencies, attenuation, and filter topology
âś… Understanding Butterworth, Chebyshev, and Bessel filter responses
âś… Optimizing component selection for power efficiency or minimal BOM
âś… Exporting schematics, SPICE simulations, and Microchip Mindi Simulator files
âś… Running Monte Carlo analysis to account for real-world component tolerances Whether you're an electronics student, engineer, or hobbyist, FilterLab makes filter design fast and efficient! Watch the full tutorial to learn how to create precision analog filters in just a few clicks.
