Single ended to differntial LPF - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi,
I have calculated the values for a 230 Mhz LPF for single ended configuration with source and load impedance of 100 ohms. I want o convert this filter to differential. How to convert the L and C values from single ended to differential?

Single ended filter values (5 pole butterworth)
L1=30nH
L2=16nH

C1=29pF
C2=27pF
C3=6pF

I swear I don't work for them, but I just did a Google Search and found this program that does the job.

The 4 series inductors (2 for each branch of the differential filter) value will be equal to the single ended value divided by 2. In your case
L1a = 15 nH
L1b = 15 nH
L2a = 8 nH
L2b = 8 nH
Capacitors, instead, will keep their original value:
C1 = 29 pF
C2 = 27 pF
C3 = 6 pF

Best regards,
Alberto
