Dual Universal Switched-Capacitor Filters
The MAX7490/MAX7491 consist of two identical lowpower, 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 functions: bandpass, lowpass, highpass, and notch (band
reject). Three of these functions are simultaneously
available. Fourth-order filters can be obtained by cascading the two 2nd-order filter sections. Similarly, higher order filters can easily be created by cascading
multiple MAX7490/MAX7491s.
Two clocking options are available: self-clocking
(through the use of an external capacitor) or external
clocking for tighter cutoff frequency control. The clockto-center frequency ratio is 100:1. Sampling is done at
twice the clock frequency, further separating the cutoff
frequency and Nyquist frequency.
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.

Note 1: Resistive loading of the N_/HP_, LP_, BP_ outputs includes the resistors used for the filter implementation.
Note 2: Crosstalk between internal filter sections is measured by applying a 1VRMS 10kHz signal to one bandpass filter section input
and grounding the input of the other bandpass filter section. The crosstalk is the ratio between the output of the grounded
filter section and the 1VRMS input signal of the other section.
Note 3: Bandwidth of noise measurement is 80kHz.
Note 4: fOSC (kHz) = 135 x 103 / COSC (COSC in pF)

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX7490/MAX7491 are universal switched-capacitor filters designed with a fixed internal fCLK/fO ratio of
100:1. Operating modes use external resistors connected in different arrangements to realize different filter
functions (highpass, lowpass, bandpass, notch) in all of
the classical filter topologies (Butterworth, Bessel, elliptic, Chebyshev). Figure 1 shows a block diagram.
Clock Signal
External Clock
The MAX7490/MAX7491 switched-capacitor filters are
designed for use with external clocks that have a 50%
±5% duty cycle. When using an external clock, drive
the EXTCLK pin high or connect to VDD. Drive CLK with
CMOS logic levels (GND and VDD). Varying the rate of
8
the external clock adjusts the center frequency of the
filter:
fO = fCLK /100
Internal Clock
When using the internal oscillator, drive the EXTCLK pin
low or connect to GND and connect a capacitor (COSC)
between CLK and GND. The value of the capacitor
(COSC) determines the oscillator frequency as follows:
fOSC (kHz) = 135 x 103 / COSC (pF)
Since COSC is in the low picofarads, minimize the stray
capacitance at CLK so that it does not affect the internal oscillator frequency. Varying the frequency of the
internal oscillator adjusts the filter’s center frequency by
a 100:1 clock-to-center frequency ratio. For example,
an internal oscillator frequency of 135kHz produces a
nominal center frequency of 1.35kHz.

2nd-Order Filter Stage
The MAX7490/MAX7491 are dual biquad filters. The
biquad topology allows the use of standard filter tables
and equations to implement simultaneous lowpass,
bandpass, and notch or highpass filters. Topologies
such as Butterworth, Chebyshev, Bessel, elliptic, as
well as custom algorithms are possible.
Internal Common Voltage
The COM pin sets the common-mode input voltage and
is internally biased to VDD/2 with a resistor-divider. The
resistors used are typically 250kΩ for the MAX7490,
and typically 80kΩ for the MAX7491. The commonmode voltage is easily overdriven by an external voltage supply if desired. Bypass COM to the analog
ground with at least a 0.1µF capacitor.
Inverting Inputs
Locate resistors that are connected to INV_ as close as
possible to INV_ to reduce stray capacitance and noise
pickup. INV_ are inverting inputs to continuous-time op
amps, and behave like a virtual ground. There is no
sampling energy present on these inputs.
Outputs
Each switched-capacitor section, together with two to
four external resistors, can generate all standard 2ndorder functions: bandpass, lowpass, highpass, and
notch (band-reject) functions. Three of these functions
are simultaneously available. The maximum signal
swing is limited by the power-supply voltages used.
The amplifiers’ outputs in the MAX7490/MAX7491 are
able to swing to within approximately 0.2V of either
supply.
Driving coaxial cable, large capacitive loads, or total
resistive loads less than 10kΩ will degrade the total
harmonic distortion (THD) performance. Note that the
effective resistive load at the output must include both
the feedback resistors and any external load resistors.
Low-Power Shutdown Mode
The MAX7490/MAX7491 have a shutdown mode that is
activated by driving SHDN low. In shutdown mode, the
filter supply current reduces to < 1µA (max), and the filter outputs become high impedance. The COM input
also becomes high impedance during shutdown. For
normal operation, drive SHDN high or connect to VDD.
__________Applications Information
Designing with the MAX7490/MAX7491 begins by
selecting the mode that best fits the desired circuit
requirements. Table 1 lists the available modes and
their relative advantages and disadvantages. Table 2
lists the different nomenclature used in the explanations
that follow.

DEFINITION
The clock frequency applied to the switched-capacitor filter.
The center frequency of the 2nd-order complex pole pair, fO, is determined by measuring the peak response
frequency at the bandpass output.
The frequency of minimum amplitude response at the notch output.
Quality factor, or Q, is the ratio of fO to the -3dB bandwidth of the 2nd-order bandpass filter. Q also determines
the amount of amplitude peaking at the lowpass and highpass outputs, but is not measured at these outputs.
HOBP
The gain in V/V of the bandpass output at f = fO.
HOLP
The gain in V/V of the lowpass output at f→0Hz.
HOHP
The gain in V/V of the highpass output at f→fCLK/2.
HON1
The notch output gain as f→0Hz.
HON2
The notch output gain at f = fCLK/2.
LP-N
A notch output with HON1 > HON2.
HP-N
A notch output with HON1 < HON2.

Figure 3. Mode 1B, 2nd-Order Filter Providing Notch, Bandpass,
and Lowpass Outputs
Mode 1
Figure 2 shows the MAX7490/MAX7491s’ configuration
of Mode 1. This mode provides 2nd-order notch, lowpass, and bandpass filter functions. The gain at all
three outputs is inversely proportional to the value of
R1. The center frequency, fO, is fixed at fCLK/100. HighQ bandpass filters can be built without exceeding the
bandpass amplifier’s output swing (i.e., HOBP does not
have to track Q). The notch and bandpass center frequencies are identical. The notch output gain is the
same above and below the notch center frequency.
Mode 1 can also be used to make high-order Butterworth lowpass filters, low Q notches, and multiple-order
bandpass filters obtained by cascading identical
switched-capacitor sections.
Mode 1 Design Equations
Mode 1B
Figure 3 shows the configuration of Mode 1B. R5 and
R6 are added to lower the feedback voltage from the
lowpass output to the summing input. This allows the
clock-to-center frequency to be adjusted beyond the
nominal value. This mode essentially has the same
functions and speed as Mode 1 while providing a highQ with fCLK/fO ratios greater than the nominal value.

one in Mode 2. Mode 2 is most useful in lowpass elliptic
designs. When cascading the sections of the
MAX7490/MAX7491, the highpass and lowpass outputs
can be summed directly into the inverting input of the

Mode 3A
Figure 7 shows the configuration of Mode 3A. Similar to
Mode 2, this mode adds an external op amp. See
Table 3 for op amp selection ideas. This op amp creates a highpass notch and lowpass notch by summing
the highpass and lowpass outputs through two external
resistors, RH and RL. The ratio of resistors RH and RL
adjusts the notch frequency, while R2 and R4 adjust
the bandpass center frequency, since the notch (zero
pair) frequency can be adjusted to both above and
below fO. Mode 3A is suitable for both lowpass and
highpass elliptic or Cauer filters. In multipole elliptic filters, only one external op amp is needed. Use the
inverting input of the internal op amp as the summing
node for all but the final section of the filter.

the ratio of resistors R2 and R4 can move the center
frequency both above and below the nominal ratio.
Mode 3 is commonly used to make multiple-pole
Chebyshev filters with a single clock frequency. This
mode can also be used to make high-order all-pole
bandpass, lowpass, and highpass filters.

Switched-capacitor integrators generally exhibit higher
input offsets than discrete RC integrators. The larger
offset is mainly due to the charge injection of the CMOS
switches into the integrating capacitors. The internal op
amp offset also adds to the overall offset value. Figure
8 shows the input offsets from a single 2nd-order section. Table 4 lists the formula for the output offset voltage for various modes and output pins.
Power Supplies
The MAX7490 operates from a single +5V supply, and
the MAX7491 operates from a single +3V supply.
Bypass VDD to GND with at least a 0.1µF capacitor.
VDD should be isolated from other digital or high-voltage analog supplies. If dual supplies are required, connect the COM pin to the system ground and the GND
pin to the negative supply. Figure 9 shows an example
of dual-supply operation. Single-supply and dual-supply performances are equivalent. For dual-supply operation, drive CLK, SHDN, and EXTCLK from GND (which
is now V-) to VDD. If using the internal oscillator in dualsupply mode, COSC can be returned to either GND or
the actual ground voltage. Use the MAX7490 for ±2.5V
and use the MAX7491 for ±1.5V.
For most applications, a 0.1µF bypass capacitor from
COM to GND is sufficient. If the VDD supply has significant 60Hz energy, increase this capacitor to 1µF or
greater to provide better power-supply rejection.

Note: When the passband gain error exceeds 1dB, the
use of capacitor CC between the lowpass output and
the inverting input will reduce the gain error. The value
can best be determined experimentally. Typically, it
should be about 5pF/dB (CC-MAX = 15pF).

Input Signal Amplitude Range
The optimal input signal range is determined by
observing the voltage level at which the signal-to-noise
plus distortion (SINAD) ratio is maximized for a given
corner frequency. The Typical Operating Characteristics show the THD + Noise response as the input signal’s peak-to-peak amplitude is varied. In most
systems, the input signal should be kept as large as
possible to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
Allow sufficient headroom to ensure no signal clipping
under expected operating conditions.
Anti-Aliasing and Post-DAC Filtering
When using the MAX7490/MAX7491 for anti-aliasing or
post-DAC filtering, synchronize the DAC (or ADC) and
the filter clocks. If the clocks are not synchronized,
beat frequencies may alias into the desired passband.
Aliasing is an inherent phenomenon of most switchedcapacitor filters. As with all sampled systems, frequency components of the input signal above one half the
sampling rate will be aliased. The MAX7490/MAX7491
sample at twice the clock frequency, yielding a 200:1
sampling to cutoff frequency ratio.
In particular, input signal components (fIN) near the
sampling rate generate a difference frequency
(fSAMPLING - fIN) that often falls within the passband of
the filter. Such aliased signals, when they appear at the
output, are indistinguishable from real input information. For example, the aliased output signal generated
when a 99kHz waveform is applied to a filter sampling
at 100kHz, (fCLK = 50kHz) is 1kHz. This waveform is an
attenuated version of the output that would result from
a true 1kHz input. Since sampling is done at twice the
clock frequency, the Nyquist frequency is the same as
the clock frequency.
A simple passive RC lowpass input filter is usually sufficient to remove input frequencies that can be aliased.
In many cases, the input signal itself may be band limited and require no special anti-alias filtering. Selecting
a passive filter cutoff frequency equal to fC/2 gives
12dB rejection at the Nyquist frequency.
Clock Feedthrough
Clock feedthrough is defined as the RMS value of the
clock frequency and its harmonics that are present at
the filter’s output pins, even without input signal. The
clock feedthrough can be greatly reduced by adding a
simple RC lowpass network at the final filter output.
Choose a cutoff frequency as low as possible to provide maximum noise attenuation. The attenuation and
phase shift of the external filter will limit the actual frequency selected.

Wideband Noise
The wideband noise of the filter is the total RMS value
of the device’s noise spectral density and is used to
determine the operating SNR. Most of its frequency
contents lie within the filter’s passband and cannot be
reduced with postfiltering. The total noise depends
mainly on the Q of each filter section and the cascade
sequence. Therefore, in multistage filters, place the
section with the highest Q first for lower output noise.
16
Multiple Filter Stages
In some designs, such as very narrow band filters, or in
modes where fO cannot be tuned with resistors, several
2nd-order sections with identical fO may be cascaded
without multiple feedback. The total Q of the resultant
filter (QT) is:
Total QT = Q / (2
1/ N
− 1)
1/ 2
Q is the Q of each individual filter section, and N is the
number of 2nd-order sections. In Table 5, the total Q and
total bandwidth (BW) are listed for up to five identical
2nd-order sections. B is the bandwidth of each section.
