MAX7418–MAX7425
General Description
The MAX7418–MAX7425 5th-order, low-pass, switchedcapacitor filters (SCFs) operate from a single +5V
(MAX7418–MAX7421) or +3V (MAX7422–MAX7425)
supply. These devices draw only 3mA of supply current
and allow corner frequencies from 1Hz to 45kHz, making them ideal for low-power post-DAC filtering and antialiasing applications. They feature a shutdown mode
that reduces supply current to 0.2µA.
Two clocking options are available: self-clocking
(through the use of an external capacitor), or external
clocking for tighter corner-frequency control. An offset
adjust pin allows for adjustment of the DC output level.
The MAX7418/MAX7422 deliver 53dB of stopband
rejection and a sharp rolloff with a 1.6 transition ratio.
The MAX7421/MAX7425 achieve a sharper rolloff with a
1.25 transition ratio while still providing 37dB of stopband rejection. The MAX7419/MAX7423 Bessel filters
provide low overshoot and fast settling, and the
MAX7420/MAX7424 Butterworth filters provide a maximally flat passband response. Their fixed response simplifies the design task of selecting a clock frequency.

Note 1: The maximum fC is defined as the clock frequency fCLK = 100 x fC at which the peak S / (THD+N) drops to 68dB with a
sinusoidal input at 0.2fC. Maximum fC increases as VIN signal amplitude decreases.
Note 2: DC insertion gain is defined as ∆VOUT / ∆VIN.
Note 3: MAX7418/MAX7421/MAX7422/MAX7425: fOSC (kHz) ≅ 87x103 / COSC (pF).
MAX7419/MAX7420/MAX7423/MAX7424: fOSC (kHz) ≅ 110x103 / COSC (pF).
Note 4: PSRR is the change in output voltage from a VDD of 4.5V and a VDD of 5.5V.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX7418/MAX7421/MAX7422/MAX7425 elliptic
lowpass filters provide sharp rolloff with good stopband
rejection. The MAX7419/MAX7423 Bessel filters provide
low overshoot and fast settling responses, and the
MAX7420/MAX7424 Butterworth filters provide a maximally flat passband response. All parts operate with a
100:1 clock-to-corner frequency ratio.
Most switch capacitor filters (SCFs) are designed with
biquadratic sections. Each section implements two
pole-zero pairs, and the sections can be cascaded to
produce higher order filters. The advantage to this
approach is ease of design. However, this type of
design is highly sensitive to component variations if any
section’s Q is high. The MAX7418–MAX7425 use an
alternative approach, which is to emulate a passive network using switched-capacitor integrators with summing and scaling. The passive network may be
synthesized using CAD programs, or may be found in
many filter books. Figure 1 shows a basic 5th-order ladder filter structure.

delay all frequency components equally, preserving the
line up shape of step inputs (subject to the attenuation
of the higher frequencies). Bessel filters settle quickly—
an important characteristic in applications that use a
multiplexer (mux) to select an input signal for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). An anti-aliasing filter
placed between the mux and the ADC must settle
quickly after a new channel is selected.
Butterworth Characteristics
Figure 1. 5th-Order Ladder Filter Network
An SCF that emulates a passive ladder filter retains
many of the same advantages. The component sensitivity of a passive ladder filter is low when compared to
a cascaded biquadratic design because each component affects the entire filter shape rather than a single
pole-zero pair. In other words, a mismatched component in a biquadratic design has a concentrated error
on its respective poles, while the same mismatch in a
ladder filter design spreads its error over all poles.
Lowpass Butterworth filters such as the MAX7420/
MAX7424 provide a maximally flat passband response,
making them ideal for instrumentation applications that
require minimum deviation from the DC gain throughout
the passband.
The difference between Bessel and Butterworth filters
can be observed when a 1kHz square wave is applied
to the filter input (Figure 3, trace A). With the filter cutoff
frequencies set at 5kHz, trace B shows the Bessel filter
response and trace C shows the Butterworth filter
response.
Elliptic Characteristics
Clock Signal
Lowpass elliptic filters such as the MAX7418/MAX7421/
MAX7422/MAX7425 provide the steepest possible
rolloff with frequency of the four most common filter
types (Butterworth, Bessel, Chebyshev, and elliptic).
The high-Q value of the poles near the passband edge
combined with the stopband zeros allow for the sharp
attenuation characteristic of elliptic filters, making these
devices ideal for anti-aliasing and post-DAC filtering in
single-supply systems (see Anti-Aliasing and Post-DAC
Filtering).
External Clock
These SCFs are designed for use with external clocks
that have a 40% to 60% duty cycle. When using an
external clock, drive the CLK pin with a CMOS gate
powered from 0 to VDD. Varying the rate of the external
clock adjusts the corner frequency of the filter:
f
fC = CLK
100
In the frequency domain, the first transmission zero
causes the filter’s amplitude to drop to a minimum level
(Figure 2). Beyond this zero, the response rises as the
frequency increases until the next transmission zero.
The stopband begins at the stopband frequency, fS. At
frequencies above fS, the filter’s gain does not exceed
the gain at fS. The corner frequency, fC, is defined as
the point at which the filter output attenuation falls just
below the passband ripple. The transition ratio (r) is
defined as the ratio of the stopband frequency to the
corner frequency:
r = fS / fC
The MAX7418/MAX7422 have a transition ratio of 1.6
and typically 53dB of stopband rejection. The
MAX7421/MAX7425 have a transition ratio of 1.25 (providing a steeper rolloff) and typically 37dB of stopband
rejection.

Internal Clock
When using the internal oscillator, the capacitance
(COSC) on CLK determines the oscillator frequency:
fOSC (kHz) =
k
COSC (pF)
where
k = 87 x 103 for the
MAX7418/MAX7421/MAX7422/MAX7425
and
k = 110 x 103 for the
MAX7419/MAX7420/MAX7423/ MAX7424.
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 rate of the internal
oscillator adjusts the filter’s corner frequency by a
100:1 clock-to-corner frequency ratio. For example, an
internal oscillator frequency of 2.2MHz produces a
nominal corner frequency of 2.2kHz.
Input Impedance vs. Clock Frequencies
The MAX7418–MAX7425s’ input impedance is effective
as a switched-capacitor resistor and is inversely proportional to frequency. The input impedance values determined by the equation represents the average input
impedance, since the input current is not continuous.
As a rule, use a driver with an output resistance less
than 10% of the filter’s input impedance.
Estimate the input impedance of the filter by using the
following formula:
ZIN =
1
(fCLK × CIN )
where fCLK = clock frequency and CIN = 1pF.
Low-Power Shutdown Mode
The MAX7418–MAX7425 have a shutdown mode that is
activated by driving SHDN low. In shutdown mode, the
filter supply current reduces to 0.2µA, and the output of
the filter becomes high impedance. For normal operation, drive SHDN high or connect to VDD.
Applications Information
Offset (OS) and Common-Mode (COM)
Input Adjustment
COM sets the common-mode input voltage and is
biased at midsupply with an internal resistor-divider. If
the application does not require offset adjustment, connect OS to COM. For applications in which offset
adjustment is required, apply an external bias voltage
through a resistor-divider network to OS, as shown in
Figure 4. For applications that require DC level shifting,
adjust OS with respect to COM. (Note: Do not leave OS
unconnected.) The output voltage is represented by
these equations:
VOUT = (VIN − VCOM ) + VOS
VCOM =
VDD
(typ)
2
where (VIN - VCOM) is lowpass filtered by the SCF and
OS is added at the output stage. See the Electrical
Characteristics table for the input voltage range of COM

Power Supplies
The MAX7418–MAX7421 operate from a single +5V
supply and the MAX7422–MAX7425 operate from a single +3V supply. Bypass V DD to GND with a 0.1µF
capacitor. If dual supplies are required, connect COM
to the system ground and GND to the negative supply.
Figure 5 shows an example of dual-supply operation.
Single-supply and dual-supply performance are equivalent. For either single-supply or dual-supply operation,
drive CLK and SHDN from GND (V- in dual supply
operation) to V DD . Use the MAX7418–MAX7421 for
±2.5, and use the MAX7422–MAX7425 for ±1.5V. For
±5V dual-supply applications, refer to the MAX291/
MAX292/MAX295/MAX296 and MAX293/MAX294/
MAX297 data sheets.

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-topeak amplitude is varied.
Anti-Aliasing and Post-DAC Filtering
Figure 5. Dual-Supply Operation
Harmonic Distortion
Harmonic distortion arises from nonlinearities within the
filter. These nonlinearities generate harmonics when a
pure sine wave is applied to the filter input. Tables 1, 2,
and 3 list typical harmonic distortion values with a 10kΩ
load at TA = +25°C.
When using the MAX7418–MAX7425 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.
