I want to learn how to design butterworth IIR digital filter with low pass and designed by Z transform method
what specification I need to design
I know below
1) cutoff frequency
2)stop band frequency
3)Ripple in pass band
4)Filter order

what specification I need to know to design filter?

A little more information would be useful here. Are you looking for a software implementation, an algorithm of some sorts or a procedure for doing hand calculations?

In any case, there are plenty of resources available online for digital filters. A quick Google look-up resulted in this, this and this (for a Matlab implementation)

There is also this free ebook on DSP that you might find useful.

If it's a low-pass filter then you don't normally use the stop band frequency, only the cutoff (corner) frequency and filter order are needed.

@vead: There was some theory in the links I posted earlier. In any case, this looks pretty rigorous. Hope it helps.

One of the two best technical books ever. He knows how to explain things.
Indeed. I owe a significant part of my DSP know-how to this book. It was a huge help during my Signals course given how dry and math-intensive those tend to become. Just out of curiosity though, which is the other one?
