The OPA4830 can give a very capable gain block for active filters. The quad design lends a very well to differential active filters. Where the filter topology is looking for a simple gain function to implement the filter, the noninverting configuration is preferred to isolate the filter elements from the gain elements in the design. See Figure 8-12 for an example of a 10MHz, 4th-order Butterworth, low-pass Sallen-Key filter. The design places the higher Q stage first to allow the lower Q 2nd stage to roll off the peaked noise of the first stage. The resistor values have been adjusted slightly to account for the amplifier group delay.

4th-Order Butterworth Active FilterWhile this circuit is bipolar, using ±5V supplies, can easily be adapted to single-supply operation. This configuration adds two real zeroes in the response, transforming this circuit into a bandpass. The frequency response for the filter of Figure 8-12 is illustrated in Figure 8-13.
