Dual Universal Switched-Capacitor Filters
0/MAX7491
General Description
Features
The MAX7490/MAX7491 consist of two identical low-
power, low-voltage, wide dynamic range, rail-to-rail,
2nd-order switched-capacitor building blocks. Each of
the two filter sections, together with two to four external
resistors, can generate all standard 2nd-order func-
tions: bandpass, lowpass, highpass, and notch (band
reject). Three of these functions are simultaneously
available. Fourth-order filters can be obtained by cas-
cading the two 2nd-order filter sections. Similarly, high-
er order filters can easily be created by cascading
multiple MAX7490/MAX7491s.
o Dual 2nd-Order Filter in a 16-Pin QSOP Package
o High Accuracy
Q Accuracy: 0.2%
Clock-to-Center Frequency Error: 0.2%
o Rail-to-Rail Input and Output Operation
o Single-Supply Operation: +5V (MAX7490)
or +3V (MAX7491)
o Internal or External Clock
o Highpass, Lowpass, Bandpass, and Notch Filters
o Clock-to-Center Frequency Ratio of 100:1
Two clocking options are available: self-clocking
(through the use of an external capacitor) or external
clocking for tighter cutoff frequency control. The clock-
to-center frequency ratio is 100:1. Sampling is done at
twice the clock frequency, further separating the cutoff
frequency and Nyquist frequency.
o Internal Sampling-to-Center Frequency Ratio
of 200:1
o Center Frequency up to 40kHz
The MAX7490/MAX7491 have an internal rail splitter
that establishes a precise common voltage needed for
single-supply operation. The MAX7490 operates from a
single +5V supply and the MAX7491 operates from a
single +3V supply. Both devices feature a low-power
shutdown mode and come in a 16-pin QSOP package.
o Easily Cascaded for Multipole Filters
o Low-Power Shutdown: < 1µA Supply Current
