Fixed-gain op Amps simplify filter Design -  07/06/00 EDN-Design Ideas Simple second-order filters meet many filtering requirements.  A low-order lowpass filter, for example, is often adequate for antialiasing in ADC applications or for eliminating high-frequency noise in audio applications.  Similarly, a low-order highpass filter can easily remove power-supply noise.  When you design such filters with built-in gain, fixed-gain op amps can save space, cost, and time.
