First-order pairs Biquad band-pass filters with differential inputs and outputs for building blocks of active filters.
fig.1 Schematics for simulation (fC = 10 kHz, Q = 5, h = 2)
The inputs are not high-impedance and must be driven from a low-impedance signal source, such as the op-amp output.
It can also be used as an unbalanced input by removing R3, C3, and R4 and grounding the non-inverting input pin of U1.
By swapping C2 and R6, the outputs of U2 and U3 can be changed to a second-order low-pass filter with differential outputs.
