with a 0.1µF capacitor. If the DC level at Pin 10 is switched
mechanically or electrically at slew rates greater than
1V/µs while the device is operating, a 10k resistor should
be connected between Pin 10 and the DC source.
External Connection Pins (7, 14)
Pins 7 and 14 should be connected together. In a printed
circuit board the connection should be done under the IC
package through a short trace surrounded by the analog
ground plane.
Filter Input Pin (2)
The input pin is connected internally through a 40k resis-
tor tied to the inverting input of an op amp.
NC Pins (1, 5, 8, 13)
Pins 1, 5, 8 and 13 are not connected to any internal circuit
point on the device and should preferably be tied to analog
ground.
Filter Output Pins (9, 6)
Pin 9 is the specified output of the filter; it can typically
source 3mA and sink 1mA. Driving coaxial cables or
resistive loads less than 20k will degrade the total har-
monic distortion of the filter. When evaluating the device’s
distortion an output buffer is required. A noninverting
buffer, Figure 4, can be used provided that its input
common mode range is well within the filter’s output
swing. Pin 6 is an intermediate filter output providing an
unspecified 6th order lowpass filter. Pin 6 should not be
loaded.

Clock Feedthrough
amplitude strongly depends on scope probing techniques
as well as grounding and power supply bypassing. The
clock feedthrough, if bothersome, can be greatly reduced
by adding a simple R/C lowpass network at the output of
the filter pin (9). This R/C will completely eliminate any
switching transients.
ClockfeedthroughisdefinedastheRMSvalueoftheclock
frequency and its harmonics that are present at the filter’s
output pin (9). The clock feedthrough is tested with the
input pin (2) grounded and it depends on PC board layout
and on the value of the power supplies. With proper layout
techniques the values of the clock feedthrough are shown
in Table 8.
Wideband Noise
The wideband noise of the filter is the total RMS value of
the device’s noise spectral density and it is used to
determine the operating signal-to-noise ratio. Most of its
frequency contents lie within the filter passband and it
cannot be reduced with post filtering. For instance, the

the filter’s cutoff frequency. The total wideband noise
(µVRMS) is nearly independent of the value of the clock.
The clock feedthrough specifications are not part of the
wideband noise.
Any parasitic switching transients during the rise and fall
edges of the incoming clock are not part of the clock
