Each filter building block together with an external clock and 2 to resistors can produce various second order functions which are available at its three output pins. Two out of three always provide lowpass and bandpass functions while the third output pin can produce highpass or notch or allpass. The center frequency of these functions can be tuned with an external clock or an external clock and a resistor ratio. For Q <, the center frequency ranges from.hz to khz. For Qs of or above, the center frequency ranges from.hz to 28kHz. The LTC can be used with single or dual supplies ranging from ±2.7V to ±8V (or.7v to V). When the filter operates with supplies of ±V and above, it can handle input frequencies up to khz. The LTC is compatible with the LTC single universal filter and the LTC dual. Higher than th order functions can be obtained by cascading the LTC with the LTC or LTC.

Clock and Level shift (Pins 8, ) When the LTC operates with symmetrical dual supplies the level shift Pin should be tied to analog ground.

W ODES OF OPERATIO Description and Applications. Primary Modes: There are two basic modes of operation, Mode and Mode. In Mode, the ratio of the external clock frequency to the center frequency of each 2nd order section is internally fixed at : or :. In Mode, this ratio can be adjusted above or below : or :. The side C of the LTC can be connected only in Mode. Figure illustrates Mode providing 2nd order notch, lowpass, and bandpass outputs (for definition of filter functions, refer to the LTC data sheet). Mode can be used to make high order Butterworth lowpass filters; it can also be used to make low Q notches and for cascading 2nd order bandpass functions tuned at the same center frequency and with unity-gain. Mode, R AGND N S BP LP Σ / LTC f f O = CLK ; f n = f () O H OLP = ; H OBP = ; H ON = R R R Q = F Figure. Mode : 2nd Order Filter Providing Notch, Bandpass, Lowpass R 2 2 8 2 2 LTC Figure, is the classical state variable configuration providing highpass, bandpass and lowpass 2nd order filter functions. Since the input amplifier is within the resonant loop, its phase shift affects the high frequency operation of the filter and therefore, Mode is slower than Mode. Mode can be used to make high order all-pole bandpass, lowpass, highpass and notch filters. Mode as well as Mode is a straightforward mode to use and the filter s dynamics can easily be optimized. Figure illustrates a th order lowpass Butterworth filter operating with up to khz cutoff frequency and with up to 2kHz input frequency. Sides A, B are connected in Mode while side C is connected in Mode. The lower Q section was placed in side C, Mode, to eliminate any early Q enhancement. This could happen when the clock approaches 2MHz. The measured frequency response is shown in Figure. The attenuation floor is limited by the crosstalk between the three different sections operating with a clock frequency above MHz. The measured wideband noise was µv RMS. For limited temperature range the filter of Figure works up to 2.MHz clock frequency thus yielding a khz cutoff.

Measures Frequency Response of the Lowpass Butterworth Filter of Figure 2. Secondary Modes: Mode b It is derived from Mode. In Mode b, Figure 7, two additional resistors, R and R, are added to attenuate the amount of voltage fed back from the lowpass output into the input of the S A (S B ) switched capacitor summer. This allows the filter clockto-center frequency ratio to be adjusted beyond : (or :). Mode b still maintains the speed advantages of Mode. Figure 8 shows the lowpass sections of the LTC in cascade resulting in a Chebyshev lowpass filter.

For this th order lowpass, M the textbook Qs and center frequencies normalized to the ripple bandwidth are: Q =., f O =.7, Q2 =., F O2 =., Q =., F O =.7. The design was done with speed in mind. The higher (Q, F O ) section was in Mode and placed in the side B of the LTC. The remaining two center frequencies were then normalized with respect to the center frequency of side B; this changes the ratio of clock-to-cutoff frequency from : to.7 = 8.:.

The speed of the filter could be further improved by using Mode to lock the higher resonant frequency of. and higher Q or. to the clock, Figure b, thus changing the clock to center frequency ratio to 2.:. Mode a This is an extension of Mode where the highpass and lowpass outputs are summed through two external resistors R h and R l to create a notch, Figure. Mode a is very versatile because the notch frequency can be higher or lower than the center frequency of the 2nd order section. The external op amp of Figure is not always required. When cascading the sections of the LTC, the highpass and lowpass outputs can be summed directly into the inverting input of the next section. Figure shows an LTC providing a th order elliptic bandpass or notch response. Sides C and B are connected in Mode a while side A is connected in Mode and uses only two resistors. The resulting filter response is then geometrically symmetrical around either the center frequency of side A (for bandpass responses) or the notch frequency of side A (for notch responses).

Resistor Values and Amplitude Response of the Topology of Figure passive ladder filters provide enough data to synthesize the above filters. The measured amplitude response of such a lowpass is shown in Figure where the filter output is taken out of side A s Pin, Figure. The clockto-center frequency ratio can be either : or : because the last stage of the LTC operates in Mode with a center frequency very close to the overall cutoff frequency of the lowpass filter. In Figure, all three sides of the LTC are connected in Mode a. This topology is useful for elliptic highpass and notch filters with clock-to-cutoff (or notch) frequency ratio higher than :. This is often required to extend the allowed input signal frequency range and to avoid premature aliasing. Figure is also a versatile, general purpose architecture providing notches and pole pairs, and there is no restriction on the location of the poles with respect to the notch frequencies. The drawbacks, when compared to Figure, are the use of an external op amp and the increased number of the required external resistors. Figure 7 shows the measured frequency of a th order highpass elliptic filter operating with 2: clock-to-cutoff frequency ratio. With a MHz clock, for instance, the filter yields a khz cutoff frequency, thus allowing an input frequency range beyond khz.

LTC W ODES OF OPERATIO Figure 8 shows the plotted amplitude responses of a th order notch filter operating again with a clock-to-center notch frequency ratio of 2:. The theoretical notch depth is 7dB and when the notch is centered at khz its width is Hz. Two small, noncritical capacitors were used across the and 2 resistors of Figure, to bandlimit the first two highpass outputs such that the practical notch depth will approach the theoretical value. With these two fixed capacitors, the notch frequency can be swept within a : range. When the circuit of Figure is used to realize lowpass elliptic filters, a capacitor across R g raises the order of the filter and at the same time eliminates any small clock feedthrough. This is shown in Figure where the amplitude response of the filter is plotted for different cutoff frequencies. When the clock frequency equals or exceeds MHz, the stopband notches lose their depth due to the finite bandwidth of the internal op amps and to the small crosstalk between the different sides of the LTC. The lowpass filter, however, does not lose its passband accuracy and it maintains nearly all of its attenuation slope. The theoretical performance of the 7th order lowpass filter of Figure is.2db passband ripple,.: stopband-tocutoff frequency ratio, and 7dB stopband attenuation.

The center frequencies, Qs, and notches of Figure 22, when normalized to the highpass cutoff frequency, are (f O =.7, Q = 2.2, f n =.22, f O2 =., Q2 =.7, f n2 =., f O =.87, f n =.7, Q = ). When compared with the topology of Figure, this approach uses lower and more restricted clock frequencies. The obtained notch in Mode 2 is shallower although the topology is more efficient. Output Noise The wideband RMS noise of the LTC outputs is nearly independent from the clock frequency. The LTC noise when operating with ±2.V supply is lower, as Table indicates. The noise at the bandpass and lowpass outputs increases rough as the Q. Also the noise increases when the clock-to-center frequency ratio is altered with external resistors to exceed the internally set : or : ratios. nder this condition, the noise increases square root-wise. Output Offsets The equivalent input offsets of the LTC are shown in Figure 2. The DC offset at the filter bandpass output is always equal to V OS. The DC offsets at the remaining two outputs (Notch and LP) depend on the mode of operation and external resistor ratios. Table illustrates this. It is important to know the value of the DC output offsets, especially when the filter handles input signals with large dynamic range. As a rule of thumb, the output DC offsets increase when:. The Qs decrease 2. The ratio (f CLK /f O ) increases beyond :. This is done by decreasing either the (/R) or the R/(R R) resistor ratios. fe
