Power Supply LC Low Pass Filter Design Calculator
Power supply LC low pass filters are crucial in electronics to remove unwanted high-frequency noise and ensure stable power supply. Our calculator simplifies the design process, making it accessible to both beginners and professionals.
- Enter the resistance, inductance, and frequency values.
- Click ‘Calculate’.
- View the results and chart below.
The calculator uses the following formula to calculate the filter’s cutoff frequency:
fc = 1 / (2π√LC)
Where:
- fc is the cutoff frequency in Hertz (Hz).
- L is the inductance in Henrys (H).
- C is the capacitance in Farads (F).
| Filter Type | Cutoff Frequency (Hz) | Attenuation (dB) |
|---|---|---|
| LC Low Pass | 1000 | 40 |
| RC Low Pass | 1000 | 20 |
- Always use high-quality components for better performance.
- Consider using a ferrite bead inductor for better noise rejection.
- Ensure the chosen components can handle the required current and voltage.
What is the difference between a low pass and a high pass filter?
A low pass filter allows low-frequency signals to pass while attenuating high-frequency signals. A high pass filter does the opposite.
