Q Factor(ω0, α) - Sallen-Key filter

Q=ω02α
(ω0)Angular Velocity
(α)Attenutation Coefficient

The Sallen-Key Factor (ω0 , α)  calculator computes the factor based on the angular velocity and a coefficient.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

  • (ω0) Angular velocity
  • (α) Coefficient

Sallen-Key Factor (ω0 , α) : The calculator returns the factor.  

The Math / Science

The formula for the Sallen-Key Factor (ω0 , α) is:

    Q = ω0 / (2α)

where:

This equation computes the Q factor of the unity gain low pass filter implementation of the Sallen-Key topology.  This electronic filter is a special case of a second-order unity gain filter version of the voltage-controlled voltage-source (VCVS) topology.

Q is a function of the angular frequency ω0and the attenuation factor α
