The 220 V mains AC line filter circuit described here has two functions: it prevents high-frequency waves from being sent back into the power network and it protects connected equipment from power line disturbances and surges. This circuit employs a number of components, such as capacitors, resistors, inductors, and a varistor, which are deliberately positioned […]

Simple Hum Filter Circuit for Amplifiers
The following post discusses a simple hum filter circuit which can be installed between an audio input source and a power amplifier, so that any possible mains hum frequency within the audio signal is blocked and only the clean audio frequency is allowed to go through. Introduction As the name suggests, hum noise is in […]

The presented designs will enable creating filter circuits only for the desired specific frequency bands and block all other unwanted frequencies. What’s […]
Notch Filter Circuits with Design Details
In this article I will provide a detailed explanation regarding how to design notch filters with precise center frequency and for maximum impact. Where Notch Filter are Used Notch filter circuits are normally used for suppressing, nullifying, or cancelling a particular range of frequencies in order to avoid an annoying or unwanted interference within a […]
Calculating Filter Capacitor for Smoothing Ripple
In the previous article I explained about ripple factor in power supply circuits, here we continue and evaluate the formula for calculating ripple current, and consequently the filter capacitor value for eliminating the ripple content in the DC output. The previous post explained how a DC content after rectification may carry the maximum possible amount […]
