Hi,
The chopping frequency is 650 kHz, but is it OK to use as 3rd order LPF of 3 kHz?
And do I need to add a filter that suppresses 650 kHz?
Best Regards,
Nishie

Neshie-san,
The OPA4180 uses an internal chopping frequency of 650 kHz as you have noted, but noise current spikes created by the chopping are filtered by the internal sin(x)/x notch filter. Additionally, the 3 kHz active low-pass filter circuit which the OPA4180 is a part of will further filter and attenuate the 650 kHz noise. It should not be necessary to add a separate 650 kHz filter.
