
Stores downloads from AD2 in
the on-board EEPROM for the

Exercise:
Build a Circuit that Filters and Rectifies a Signal

Circuit will take a square wave input and output
a bandpass filtered version of the signal and
then a rectified version of the filtered signal

This is a basic circuit that will show:

The frequency components of the square wave

The average DC value of the extracted component
Step 1: Set up a Biquadratic Band Pass Filter
Open AnadigmDesigner2.
Click on the green box to
pop up the CAM selection
window
Step 2: Place Biquadratic Filter in Chip Work Space
Choose (double Click)
from the list of CAMs a
“FilterBiquad” Filter. (this
is a two pole pole Filter)
and set the dialog
parameters as shown on
the next page
Step 3: Set Biquadratic CAM parameters
Step 1: set the Clock to 2000
kHz by moving the spinners
Step 2: Select Band pass filter
by clicking on the band pass
radio button
Step 3: Set Corner Frequency
to 5 KHz, gain to 1.0 and Q to
15
Step 4: Click on OK to accept
parameters
Step 4: Place a “RectifierFilter” CAM in the Work Space
Choose (double Click)
from the list of CAMs a
“RectifierFilter” CAM.
This is a rectifier with a
combined single pole
low pass filter.
The combination of the
filter and rectifier uses
the same number of op
amps as a rectifier
alone eliminating the
need for a separate
filter.
Please set parameters
as shown on the next
page
Step 5: Set parameters for the “RectifierFilter”
Step 4: Click on OK to accept
parameters
Step 1: set the Clock to 2000
kHz by moving the spinners
Step 2: Choose a non inverting
Full wave rectifier.
Note the other choices for
future reference
Step 3: Set Corner frequency to
100 KHz and gain to 1.
Why 100 KHz? It lets through
almost all the energy from the
square wave, but blocks higher
harmonics that may alias back
Step 6: Add an External Signal Generator
Add a signal Generator by
clicking on the sine wave
on the tool bar and then
place the signal generator
here
Next….
Double click on the signal
generator to pop up the
configuration window on
the next page
Step 7: Configure signal generator
And set Parameters as
shown to create a 5Khz
square wave
Next….wire the circuit up
Step 8: Wire up the circuit
Wire it up!
1)
Just drag the mouse
over to the contact or
wire that you want to
wire up
2) A wire tool graphic will
appear and the contact
will high light
3) Next, click the left mouse
button
Next….. Place oscilloscope
probes
Step 9: Place Oscilloscope Probes
Place Probes
1)
2)
3)
Depress the probe
tool icon on the tool
bar (to the right of the
sine wave)
Drag it near a contact
and when the contact
high lights, depress
the left mouse button
Maintain the probe
colors as shown in
the picture so you can
follow along
Next…..
Configure the Simulator
Step 10: Configure the Circuit Simulator
Configure the simulator
•
Click on the ‘Simulate’
tab on the tool bar
and then choose the
selection ‘Setup
Simulation’
•
Configure the options
as shown
Next…..
Run the simulator
Step 11: Run the Simulator
Depress the “Sim” icon to run.
Set time parameters as shown (in red).
• Extracted Fundamental of Square Wave
• Rectified Fundamental
• Input Square Wave 5Khz
Continuing the Exercises:

Change to a bandstop filter to block rather
than pass the fundamental frequency

Simulate to see what a square wave looks like
with its first harmonic blocked!

Obtain average DC value of the rectified signal
Exercise: Set Biquadratic CAM parameters
Step 1: set the Clock to 2000
kHz by moving the spinners (it
should already be like this)
Step 3: Set Corner Frequency
to 5 KHz, DC gain to 1.0 and Q
to 15 and HF Gain to 1
Step 2: Select Band stop filter
by clicking on the band pass
radio button. This will block
rather than pass the
fundamental 5Khz signal
Step 4: Click on OK to accept
parameters
Results: Run the Simulator Again
• Square Wave with Fundamental Blocked
• Rectified Version
• Input Square Wave 5Khz
Exercise: Build a filter with AnadigmFilter
Open AnadigmDesigner

select Anadigm filter icon
