(a) VO= Vin/(1+0.0314jf)

(b) VO= Vin×(1+0.0314jf)

(c) VO= Vin+0.0314jf/(1+jf)

(d) None of the mentioned

I had been asked this question in class test.

My enquiry is from First Order Low Pass Butterworth Filter topic in section Active Filters of Linear Integrated Circuits

To determine the voltage across the capacitor in a First Order Low Pass Butterworth Filter circuit, we need to analyze the transfer function of the filter. In a low pass filter, the transfer function H(f)H(f)H(f) typically relates the input voltage VinV_{\text{in}}Vin​ to the output voltage VoutV_{\text{out}}Vout​ (which is across the capacitor).

For a First Order Low Pass Butterworth Filter, the general transfer function is given by:

H(f)=VoutVin=11+jffcH(f) = \frac{V_{\text{out}}}{V_{\text{in}}} = \frac{1}{1 + j\frac{f}{f_c}}H(f)=Vin​Vout​​=1+jfc​f​1​

where:

  • fff is the frequency of the input signal,
  • fcf_cfc​ is the cutoff frequency (the frequency at which the output power falls to half of its maximum value).

The voltage across the capacitor (output voltage) is then:

Vout=Vin×11+jffcV_{\text{out}} = V_{\text{in}} \times \frac{1}{1 + j\frac{f}{f_c}}Vout​=Vin​×1+jfc​f​1​

If we compare this expression to the provided options:

Given Options:

  • (a) V0=Vin1+0.0314jfV_0 = \frac{V_{\text{in}}}{1 + 0.0314jf}V0​=1+0.0314jfVin​​
  • (b) V0=Vin×(1+0.0314jf)V_0 = V_{\text{in}} \times (1 + 0.0314jf)V0​=Vin​×(1+0.0314jf)
  • (c) V0=Vin+0.0314jf1+jfV_0 = \frac{V_{\text{in}} + 0.0314jf}{1 + jf}V0​=1+jfVin​+0.0314jf​
  • (d) None of the mentioned

From the structure of the transfer function, option (a) matches the form of the output voltage expression for a first-order low-pass filter, assuming 0.03140.03140.0314 is related to the cutoff frequency and frequency term.

Thus, the correct answer is:

(a) V0=Vin1+0.0314jfV_0 = \frac{V_{\text{in}}}{1 + 0.0314jf}V0​=1+0.0314jfVin​​
