CEM 3350 Dual Filter

The CEM 3350 is an IC designed by Curtis Electromusic Specialties which contains a number of OTAs and supporting circuitry which simplify building a pair of state variable filters.

The configuration of the OTAs seems a bit odd at first, but doing the maths shows that depending on where the audio signal is injected, you can get a simultaneous Low Pass and Band Pass, or Band Pass and High Pass response from it, with control over the Q.

Analysis

A fairly rough, somewhat dull, and incomplete run through of the maths can be found in this pdf.

I've not yet designed a panel for this, and the circuit has been lightly tested on a breadboard, but it's very much a work in progress.

TODO

Should really get this started again.
