Q: How can I select the right amplifier for my filer?

A:        Part selection plays a vital role in any circuit design. Before the final production go-ahead, it is very important to verify – through simulation and prototyping – that the right parts have been selected. What gives that confidence is a tool that helps fine-tune the choices before the simulation phase, a tool such as the Analog Filter Wizard. This tool not only helps design of low-pass, high-pass or band-pass filters, it also analyses its theoretical and practical performances.
