Calculate and design

RC low-pass filter

Choose a cutoff frequency and resistor. Calculate the capacitor, select standard values and open a circuit ready for AC simulation.

Design inputs

Enter your inputs and calculate to see selected components, achieved results and editable circuit source.

How this calculation works

C = 1 / (2π × R × cutoff frequency)

Nominal R/C values, ideal voltage source and high-impedance output. Extra source resistance, output loading and component tolerances are not included.
