Overview of Filter Topology

5.4.1

High Pass Filter and DC Biasing

The first stage of the buffer forms a high pass filter from the combination of the AC-coupling capacitor
along with the resistor divider that biases the positive terminal of the op-amps to the proper DC bias volt-
age. The value of the resistors denoted as “R” will vary depending on the optimal DC bias for the given
converter. Typically this is around half of the VA voltage supply. Please refer to the converter datasheet
for the recommended input bias voltage. The 3dB corner of the high pass filter can be calculated as fol-
lows:
