- Miss Mulan - I am a bit late with my answer.
- Nevertheless - there is formula which gives you the necessary filter order "n" - as a function of two frequencies and both associated damping figures. If applied to the most simple case (Butterworth approximation) the result is
- **n>1.2**
Hence, a 2nd-order filter topology is required.

- This sounds plausible because a 1st-order filter has a damping characteristic of 6dB/okt. - however, you require 8 dB.
