Linear Phase Filtering
Replacing LC Filter Modules
The LTC®1562 is a low noise, low distortion continuous-time
filter with rail-to-rail inputs and outputs, optimized for a
center frequency (fO) of 10kHz to 150kHz. Unlike most
monolithic filters, no clock is needed. Four independent 2nd
order filter blocks can be cascaded in any combination, such
as one 8th order or two 4th order filters. Each block’s
response is programmed with three external resistors for
center frequency, Q and gain, using simple design formulas.
Each 2nd order block provides lowpass and bandpass outputs. Highpass response is available if an external capacitor
replaces one of the resistors. Allpass, notch and elliptic
responses can also be realized.
The LTC1562 is designed for applications where dynamic
range is important. For example, by cascading 2nd order
sections in pairs, the user can configure the IC as a dual 4th
order Butterworth lowpass filter with 94dB signal-to-noise
ratio from a single 5V power supply. Low level signals can
exploit the built-in gain capability of the LTC1562. Varying the
gain of a section can achieve a dynamic range as high as
118dB with a ±5V supply.
Other cutoff frequency ranges can be provided upon request.

Power Supply Pins: The V + and V – pins should be
bypassed with 0.1µF capacitors to an adequate analog
ground or ground plane. These capacitors should be
connected as closely as possible to the supply pins. In the
20-lead SSOP package, the additional pins 4, 7, 14 and 17
are internally connected to V – (Pin 16) and should also be
tied to the same point as Pin 16 for best shielding. Low
noise linear supplies are recommended. Switching supplies are not recommended as they will lower the filter
dynamic range.
Analog Ground (AGND): The AGND pin is the midpoint of
an internal resistive voltage divider, developing a potential
halfway between the V + and V – pins, with an equivalent
series resistance nominally 7kΩ. This serves as an internal ground reference. Filter performance will reflect the
quality of the analog signal ground and an analog ground
plane surrounding the package is recommended. The
analog ground plane should be connected to any digital
ground at a single point. For dual supply operation, the
AGND pin should be connected to the ground plane

with allowance for its different pin numbers. The 16-pin

Shutdown (SHDN): When the SHDN input goes high or is
open-circuited, the LTC1562 enters a “zero-power” shutdown state and only junction leakage currents flow. The
AGND pin and the amplifier outputs (see Figure 3) assume
a high impedance state and the amplifiers effectively
disappear from the circuit. (If an input signal is applied to
a complete filter circuit while the LTC1562 is in shutdown,
some signal will normally flow to the output through
passive components around the inactive op amps.)
A small pull-up current source at the SHDN input defaults
the LTC1562 to the shutdown state if the SHDN pin is left
floating. Therefore, the user must connect the SHDN pin
to a logic “low” (0V for ±5V supplies, V – for 5V total
supply) for normal operation of the LTC1562. (This convention permits true “zero-power” shutdown since not
even the driving logic must deliver current while the part
is in shutdown.) With a single supply voltage, use V – for
logic “low”— do not connect SHDN to the AGND pin.

PIN FUNCTIONS
INV A, INV B, INV C, INV D: Each of the INV pins is a virtualground summing point for the corresponding 2nd order
section. For each section, external components ZIN, R2,
RQ connect to the INV pin as shown in Figure 3 and
described further in the Applications Information. Note
that the INV pins are sensitive internal nodes of the filter
and will readily receive any unintended signals that are
capacitively coupled into them. Capacitance to the INV
nodes will also affect the frequency response of the filter
sections. For these reasons, printed circuit connections to
the INV pins must be kept as short as possible, less than
one inch (2.5cm) total and surrounded by a ground plane.
V1 A, V1 B, V1 C, V1 D: Output Pins. Provide a bandpass,
highpass or other response depending on external circuitry (see Applications Information section). Each V1 pin
also connects to the RQ resistor of the corresponding 2nd
order filter section (see Figure 3 and Applications Information). Each output is designed to drive a nominal net load
of 5kΩ and 30pF, which includes the loading due to the
external RQ. Distortion performance improves when the
outputs are loaded as lightly as possible. Some earlier
literature refers to these outputs as “BP” rather than V1.
V2 A, V2 B, V2 C, V2 D: Output Pins. Provide a lowpass,
bandpass or other response depending on external circuitry (see Applications Information section). Each V2 pin
also connects to the R2 resistor of the corresponding 2nd
order filter section (see Figure 3 and Applications Information). Each output is designed to drive a nominal net load
of 5kΩ and 30pF, which includes the loading due to the
external R2. Distortion performance improves when the
outputs are loaded as lightly as possible. Some earlier
literature refers to these outputs as “LP” rather than V2.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Functional Description
Setting fO and Q
The LTC1562 contains four matched, 2nd order, 3-terminal universal continuous-time filter blocks, each with a
virtual-ground input node (INV) and two rail-to-rail outputs (V1, V2). In the most basic applications, one such
block and three external resistors provide 2nd order
lowpass and bandpass responses simultaneously (Figure
3, with a resistor for ZIN). The three external resistors set
standard 2nd order filter parameters fO, Q and gain. A
combination of internal precision components and external resistor R2 sets the center frequency fO of each 2nd
order block. The LTC1562 is trimmed at manufacture so
that fO will be 100kHz ±0.5% (±0.6% typical for PDIP
package) if the external resistor R2 is exactly 10k.
Each of the four 2nd order sections in the LTC1562 can be
programmed for a standard filter function (lowpass, bandpass or highpass) when configured as in Figure 3 with a
resistor or capacitor for ZIN. These transfer functions all
have the same denominator, a complex pole pair with
center frequency ωO = 2πfO and quality parameter Q. (The
numerators depend on the response type as described
below.) External resistors R2 and RQ set fO and Q as
follows:
However, lowpass/bandpass filtering is only one specific
application for the 2nd order building blocks in the LTC1562.
Highpass response results if the external impedance ZIN in
Figure 3 becomes a capacitor CIN (whose value sets only
gain, not critical frequencies) as described below.
Responses with zeroes are available through other connections (see Notches and Elliptic Responses). Moreover,
the virtual-ground input gives each 2nd order section the
built-in capability for analog operations such as gain
(preamplification), summing and weighting of multiple
inputs, handling input voltages beyond the power supplies
or accepting current or charge signals directly. These
Operational FilterTM frequency-selective building blocks
are nearly as versatile as op amps.
The user who is not copying exactly one of the Typical
Applications schematics shown later in this data sheet is
urged to read carefully the next few sections through at
least Signal Swings, for orientation about the LTC1562,
before attempting to design custom application circuits.
Also available free from LTC, and recommended for designing custom filters, is the general-purpose analog filter
design software FilterCADTM for Windows®. This software
includes tools for finding the necessary f0, Q and gain
parameters to meet target filter specifications such as
frequency response.

Then select a practical R2 value from the available finitetolerance resistors. Use the actual R2 value to find the
desired RQ, which also will be approximated with finite
tolerance:
RQ = Q (10kΩ)R2
The fO range is approximately 10kHz to 150kHz, limited
mainly by the magnitudes of the external resistors
required. As shown above, R2 varies with the inverse
square of fO. This relationship desensitizes fO to R2’s

tolerance (by a factor of 2 incrementally), but it also
implies that R2 has a wider range than fO. (RQ and RIN also
tend to scale with R2.) At high fO these resistors fall below
5k, heavily loading the outputs of the LTC1562 and leading
to increased THD and other effects. At the other extreme,
a lower fO limit of 10kHz reflects an arbitrary upper
resistor limit of 1MΩ. The LTC1562’s MOS input circuitry
can accommodate higher resistor values than this, but
junction leakage current from the input protection circuitry may cause DC errors.
When ZIN of Figure 3 is a resistor of value RIN, a standard
2nd order lowpass transfer function results from VIN to V2
(Figure 5):
V2(s)
– HLω O2
= HLP (s) =
VIN(s)
s2 + (ω O / Q)s + ω O2
The DC gain magnitude is HL = R2/RIN. (Note that the
transfer function includes a sign inversion.) Parameters
ωO (= 2πfO) and Q are set by R2 and RQ as above. For a 2nd
order lowpass response the gain magnitude becomes QHL
The 2nd order transfer functions HLP(s), HBP(s) and
HHP(s) (below) are all inverting so that, for example, at DC
the lowpass gain is – HL. If two such sections are cascaded, these phase inversions cancel. Thus, the filter in the
application schematic on the first page of this data sheet
is a dual DC preserving, noninverting, rail-to-rail lowpass
filter, approximating two “straight wires with frequency
selectivity.”

a frequency below fO, as shown in Figure 4.

ωO = 2πfO and Q are set by R2 and RQ as described previously in Setting fO and Q. When ZIN is a resistor of value
RIN, a bandpass response results at the V1 output (Figure
6a) with a gain parameter HB = RQ/RIN. Alternatively, a
capacitor of value CIN gives a bandpass response at the V2
output (Figure 6b), with the same HBP(s) expression, and
the gain parameter now HB = (RQ/10kΩ)(CIN/159pF). This
transfer function has a gain magnitude of HB (its peak value)
when the frequency equals fO and has a phase shift of 180°
at that frequency. Q measures the sharpness of the peak
(the ratio of fO to – 3dB bandwidth) in a 2nd order bandpass function, as illustrated in Figure 4.
INV
Parameters ωO = 2πfO and Q are set by R2 and RQ as
above. The highpass gain parameter is HH = CIN/159pF.
For a 2nd order highpass response the gain magnitude at
frequency fO is QHH, and approaches HH at high frequencies (f >> fO). For Q > 0.707, a gain peak occurs at a
frequency above fO as shown in Figure 4. The transfer
function includes a sign inversion.

Signal Swings
The V1 and V2 outputs are capable of swinging to within
roughly 100mV of each power supply rail. As with any
analog filter, the signal swings in each 2nd order section
must be scaled so that no output overloads (saturates),
even if it is not used as a signal output. (Filter literature
often calls this the “dynamics” issue.) When an unused
output has a larger swing than the output of interest, the
section’s gain or input amplitude must be scaled down to
avoid overdriving the unused output. The LTC1562 can
still be used with high performance in such situations as
long as this constraint is followed.
For an LTC1562 section as in Figure 3, the magnitudes of
the two outputs V2 and V1, at a frequency ω = 2πf, have
the ratio,
| V2( jω ) | (100kHz)
=
| V1( jω ) |
f
regardless of the details of ZIN. Therefore, an input frequency above or below 100kHz produces larger output
amplitude at V1 or V2, respectively. This relationship can
guide the choice of filter design for maximum dynamic
range in situations (such as bandpass responses) where
there is more than one way to achieve the desired frequency response with an LTC1562 section.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Because 2nd order sections with Q ≥ 1 have response
peaks near fO, the gain ratio above implies some rules of
thumb:
fO < 100kHz ⇒ V2 tends to have the larger swing
fO > 100kHz ⇒ V1 tends to have the larger swing.
The following situations are convenient because the
relative swing issue does not arise. The unused output’s
swing is naturally the smaller of the two in these cases:
Lowpass response (resistor input, V2 output, Figure 5)
with fO < 100kHz
Bandpass response (capacitor input, V2 output, Figure
6b) with fO < 100kHz
Bandpass response (resistor input, V1 output, Figure
6a) with fO > 100kHz
Highpass response (capacitor input, V1 output, Figure
7) with fO > 100kHz
The LTC1562-2, a higher frequency derivative of the
LTC1562, has a design center fO of 200kHz compared to
100kHz in the LTC1562. The rules summarized above
apply to the LTC1562-2 but with 200kHz replacing the
100kHz limits. Thus, an LTC1562-2 lowpass filter section
with fO below 200kHz automatically satisfies the desirable
condition of the unused output carrying the smaller signal
swing.

Low Level or Wide Range Input Signals
The LTC1562 contains a built-in capability for low noise
amplification of low level signals. The ZIN impedance in
each 2nd order section controls the block’s gain. When set
for unity passband gain, a 2nd order section can deliver an
output signal more than 100dB above the noise level. If low
level inputs require further dynamic range, reducing the
value of ZIN boosts the signal gain while reducing the input
referred noise. This feature can increase the SNR for low
level signals. Varying or switching ZIN is also an efficient
way to effect automatic gain control (AGC). From a system
viewpoint, this technique boosts the ratio of maximum
signal to minimum noise, for a typical 2nd order lowpass
response (Q = 1, fO = 100kHz), to 118dB.
Input Voltages Beyond the Power Supplies
Properly used, the LTC1562 can accommodate input
voltage excursions well beyond its supply voltage. This
requires care in design but can be useful, for example,
when large out-of-band interference is to be removed from
a smaller desired signal. The flexibility for different input
voltages arises because the INV inputs are at virtual
ground potential, like the inverting input of an op amp with
negative feedback. The LTC1562 fundamentally responds
to input current and the external voltage VIN appears only
across the external impedance ZIN in Figure 3.
To accept beyond-the-supply input voltages, it is important to keep the LTC1562 powered on, not in shutdown
mode, and to avoid saturating the V1 or V2 output of the
2nd order section that receives the input. If any of these
conditions is violated, the INV input will depart from a
virtual ground, leading to an overload condition whose
recovery timing depends on circuit details. In the event
that this overload drives the INV input beyond the supply
voltages, the LTC1562 could be damaged.
The most subtle part of preventing overload is to consider
the possible input signals or spectra and take care that
none of them can drive either V1 or V2 to the supply limits.
Note that neither output can be allowed to saturate, even
if it is not used as the signal output. If necessary the
passband gain can be reduced (by increasing the impedance of ZIN in Figure 3) to reduce output swings.
The final issue to be addressed with beyond-the-supply
inputs is current and voltage limits. Current entering the
virtual ground INV input flows eventually through the
output circuitry that drives V1 and V2. The input current
magnitude (VIN/ZIN in Figure 3) should be limited by
design to less than 1mA for good distortion performance.
On the other hand, the input voltage VIN appears across the

external component ZIN, usually a resistor or capacitor.
This component must of course be rated to sustain the
magnitude of voltage imposed on it.
Lowpass “T” Input Circuit
The virtual ground INV input in the Operational Filter block
provides a means for adding an “extra” lowpass pole to
any resistor-input application (such as the basic lowpass,
Figure 5, or bandpass, Figure 6a). The resistor that would
otherwise form ZIN is split into two parts and a capacitor
to ground added, forming an R-C-R “T” network (Figure
9). This adds an extra, independent real pole at a frequency:
fP =
1
2πRPCT
where CT is the new external capacitor and RP is the
parallel combination of the two input resistors RINA and
RINB. This pair of resistors must normally have a prescribed series total value RIN to set the filter’s gain as
described above. The parallel value RP can however be set
arbitrarily (to RIN/4 or less) which allows choosing a
convenient standard capacitor value for CT and fine tuning
the new pole with RP.
RINA
A practical limitation of this technique is that the CT capacitor values that tend to be required (hundreds or thousands
of pF) can destabilize the op amp in Figure 3 if RINB is too
small, leading to AC errors such as Q enhancement. For this
reason, when RINA and RINB are unequal, preferably the
larger of the two should be placed in the RINB position.
Highpass “T” Input Circuit
A method similar to the preceding technique adds an
“extra” highpass pole to any capacitor-input application
(such as the bandpass of Figure 6b or the highpass of
Figure 7). This method splits the input capacitance CIN into
two series parts CINA and CINB, with a resistor RT to ground
between them (Figure 10). This adds an extra 1st order
highpass corner with a zero at DC and a pole at the
frequency:
fP =
1
2πRTCP
where CP = CINA + CINB is the parallel combination of the
two capacitors. At the same time, the total series capacitance CIN will control the filter’s gain parameter (HH in
Basic Highpass). For a given series value CIN, the parallel
value CP can still be set arbitrarily (to 4CIN or greater).

The procedure therefore is to begin with the target extra
pole frequency fP. Determine the series value RIN from the
gain requirement. Select a capacitor value CT such that RP
= 1/(2πfPCT) is no greater than RIN/4, and then choose
RINA and RINB that will simultaneously have the parallel
value RP and the series value RIN. Such RINA and RINB can
be found directly from the expression:
The procedure then is to begin with the target corner (pole)
frequency fP. Determine the series value CIN from the gain
requirement (for example, CIN = HH(159pF) for a highpass).
Select a resistor value RT such that CP = 1/(2πRTfP) is at
least 4CIN, and select CINA and CINB that will simultaneously
have the parallel value CP and the series value CIN. Such
CINA and CINB can be found directly from the expression:

This procedure can be iterated, adjusting the value of RT,
to find convenient values for CINA and CINB since resistor
values are generally available in finer increments than
capacitor values.
Different “fO” Measures
Standard 2nd order filter algebra, as in Figure 4 and the
various transfer-function expressions in this data sheet,
uses a center frequency parameter fO (or ωO, which is
2πfO). fO can also be measured in practical ways, including:
• The frequency where a bandpass response has 180°
phase shift
• The frequency where a bandpass response has peak
gain
• The geometric mean of the – 3.01dB gain frequencies in
a bandpass (√ƒLƒH in Figure 4)
An ideal mathematical 2nd order response yields exactly
the same frequency by these three measures. However,
real 2nd order filters with finite-bandwidth circuitry show
small differences between the practical fO measures,
which may be important in critical applications. The issue
is chiefly of concern in high-Q bandpass applications
where, as the data below illustrate, the different f0 measurements tend to converge anyway for the LTC1562. At
low Q the bandpass peak is not sharply defined and the
– 3dB frequencies fL and fH are widely separated from this
peak.
The LTC1562’s fO is trimmed in production to give an
accurate 180° phase shift in the configuration of Figure
6a with resistor values setting f0 = 100kHz and Q = 1.
Table 1 below shows typical differences between fO
values measured via the bandpass 180° criterion and fO
values measured using the two other methods listed
above (Figure 6a, RIN = RQ).

Notes: fC is the cutoff frequency: For Butterworth and Bessel, response is 3dB down at fC. For Chebyshev filters with
± 0.1dB passband ripple up to 0.95 fC, use LTC1562 “A” grade. *The resistor values marked with an asterisk (*) in the
Chebyshev formulas (R21 and R24) should be rounded to the nearest standard finite-tolerance value before computing
the values dependent on them (RIN1 and RIN4 respectively).
Example: Chebyshev response, fC = 100kHz. The formulas above give R21 = 7.51k, nearest standard 1% value 7.50k.
Using this 1% value gives RIN1 = 16.5k, already a standard 1% value. RQ1 = 18.075k, nearest 1% value 18.2k.
R22 = RIN2 = 14.99k, nearest 1% value 15k. RQ2 = 11.02k, nearest 1% value 11k. R23 = RIN3 = 7.15k, already a
standard 1% value. RQ3 = 18.75k, nearest 1% value 18.7k. R24 = 26.7k, already a standard 1% value. This gives
RIN4 = 12.14k, nearest 1% value 12.1k. RQ4 = 8.75k, nearest 1% value 8.66k.

Notes: R21 and RQ2 should be rounded to the nearest standard finite-tolerance value before using these values in
the later formulas. For fC < 100kHz, the maximum peak-to-peak passband input level is (fC /100kHz)5V. Use
LTC1562A for minimum variation of passband gain.
Example: Center frequency fC of 100kHz. The formulas give R21 = R23 = 11.7k, nearest standard 1% value 11.5k.
This value gives RIN1 = RIN3 = 82.46k, nearest 1% value 82.5k. RQ1 = RQ3 = 65.5k, nearest 1% value 64.9k.
R22 = R24 = 8.66k, already a standard 1% value. This gives RIN2 = RIN4 = 32.4k (again already a standard 1% value).
RQ2 = RQ4 = 63.45k, nearest 1% value 63.4k. If LTC1562A is used, resistor tolerances tighter than 1% will further

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Notches and Elliptic Responses
The basic (essentially all-pole) LTC1562 circuit techniques described so far will serve many applications.
However, the sharpest-cutoff lowpass, highpass and bandpass filters include notches (imaginary zero pairs) in the
stopbands. A notch, or band-reject, filter has zero gain at
a frequency fN. Notches are also occasionally used by
themselves to reject a narrow band of frequencies. A
number of circuit methods will give notch responses from
an Operational Filter block. Each method exhibits an inputoutput transfer function that is a standard 2nd order bandreject response:
HBR(s) =
(
)
– HN s2 + ω N2
fN. The two signals then cancel out at frequency fN. The
notch depth (the completeness of cancellation) will be
infinite to the extent that the two paths have matching
gains. Three practical circuit methods are presented here,
with different features and advantages.
Examples and design procedures for practical filters using
these techniques appear in a series of articles attached to
this data sheet on the Linear Technology web site
(www.linear-tech.com). Also available free is the analog
filter design software, FilterCAD for Windows, recommended for designing filters not shown in the Typical
Applications schematics in this data sheet.
Elementary Feedforward Notches
s2 + (ω O / Q)s + ω 2O
with parameters ωN = 2πfN and HN set by component
values as described below. (ω0 = 2πf0 and Q are set for the
Operational Filter block by its R2 and RQ resistors as
described earlier in Setting f0 and Q). Characteristically,
the gain magnitude |HBR(j2πf)| has the value HN(fN2/f02) at
DC (f = 0) and HN at high frequencies (f >> fN), so in
addition to the notch, the gain changes by a factor:
High Frequency Gain ƒ 2O
= 2
DC Gain
ƒN
A “textbook” method to get a 180° phase difference at
frequency fN for a notch is to dedicate a bandpass 2nd
order section (described earlier under Basic Bandpass),
which gives 180° phase shift at the section’s center
frequency fO (Figure 11, with CIN1 = 0), so that fN = fO. The
bandpass section of Figure 6a, at its center frequency fO,
has a phase shift of 180° and a gain magnitude of HB =
RQ /RIN. A notch results in Figure 11 if the paths summed
into virtual ground have the same gains at the 180°
frequency (then IO = 0). This requires a constraint on the
resistor values:
RIN2 RQ1
=
RFF2 RIN1
The common principle in the following circuit methods is
to add a signal to a filtered replica of itself having equal gain
and 180° phase difference at the desired notch frequency

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Note that the depth of the notch depends on the accuracy
of this resistor ratioing. The virtual-ground summing
point in Figure 11 may be from an op amp as shown, or in
a practical cascaded filter, the INV input of another Operational Filter block. The transfer function in Figure 11 with
CIN1 = 0 is a “pure” notch (fN = f0) of the HBR(s) form above,
and the parameters are:
ƒN = ƒ O
R
H N = GAIN
RFF2
Feedforward Notches for fN > f0
When CIN1 ≠ 0 in Figure 11, the notch frequency fN is above
the center frequency f0 and the response has a lowpass
shape as well as a notch (Figure 13). CIN1 contributes
phase lead, which increases the notch frequency above
the center frequency of the 2nd order Operational Filter
block. The resistor constraint from the previous section
also applies here and the HBR(s) parameters become:
1
ƒN = ƒ O
Because fN = f0 in this case, the gain magnitude both at DC
and at high frequencies (f >> fN) is the same, HN (assuming
that the op amp in Figure 11 adds no significant frequency
response). Figure 12 shows this. Such a notch is inefficient as a cascaded part of a highpass, lowpass or bandpass filter (the most common uses for notches). Variations of Figure 11 can add a highpass or lowpass shape to
the notch, without using more Operational Filter blocks.
The key to doing so is to decouple the notch frequency fN
from the center frequency f0 of the Operational Filter block
(this is shown in Figures 13 and 15). The next two sections
summarize two variations of Figure 11 with this highpass/
lowpass shaping, and the remaining section shows a
different approach to building notches.

C is the internal capacitor value in the Operational Filter
block (in the LTC1562, 159pF).
The configuration of Figure 11 is most useful for a
stopband notch in a lowpass filter or as an upper stopband
notch in a bandpass filter, since the two resistors R IN2 and
RFF2 can replace the input resistor RIN of either a lowpass
section (Figure 5) or a resistor-input bandpass section
(Figure 6a) built from a second Operational Filter block.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Feedforward Notches for fN < f0
Just as feedforward around an inverting bandpass section
yields a notch at the section’s f0 (Figure 11 with CIN1 = 0),
feedforward around an inverting lowpass section causes
a notch at zero frequency (which is to say, a highpass
response). Moreover, and this is what makes it useful,
introducing a capacitor for phase lead moves the notch
frequency up from DC, exactly as CIN1 in Figure 11 moves
the notch frequency up from the center frequency f0. In
Figure 14, the inverting lowpass output (V2) of the Operational Filter block is summed, at a virtual ground, with a
fed-forward input signal. Capacitor CIN1 shifts the resulting notch frequency, fN, up from zero, giving a low
frequency notch with a highpass shape (Figure 15). The
HBR(s) response parameters are now:
RIN2 RQ1CIN1
=
RFF2
R1C
R1 and C are the internal precision components (in the
LTC1562, 10k and 159pF respectively) as described above
in Setting f0 and Q.
The configuration of Figure 14 is most useful as a lower
stopband notch in a bandpass filter, because the resistors
RIN2 and RFF2 can replace the input resistor RIN of a
bandpass section made from a second Operational Filter
block, as in Figure 6a. The configuration is robust against
tolerances in the CIN1 value when fN approaches f0 (for f0/
fN ≤ 1.4, as a rule of thumb) which is attractive in narrow
transition-band filters, because of the relative cost of high
accuracy capacitors. Further application details appear in
Part 2 of the series of articles.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
R-C Universal Notches
A different way to get 180° phase shift for a notch is to use
the built-in 90° phase difference between the two Operational Filter block outputs along with a further 90° from an
external capacitor. This method achieves deep notches
independent of component matching, unlike the previous
techniques, and it is convenient for cascaded highpass as
well as lowpass and bandpass filters.
The V2 output of an Operational Filter block is a timeintegrated version of V1 (see Figure 3), and therefore lags
V1 by 90° over a wide range of frequencies. In Figure 16,
a notch response occurs when a 2nd order section drives
a virtual-ground input through two paths, one through a
capacitor and one through a resistor. Again, the virtual
ground may come from an op amp as shown, or from
another Operational Filter block’s INV input. Capacitor CN
adds a further 90° to the 90° difference between V1 and
V2, producing a wideband 180° phase difference, but
frequency-dependent amplitude ratio, between currents
IR and IC. At the frequency where IR and IC have equal
magnitude, IO becomes zero and a notch occurs. This
gives a net transfer function from VIN to VOUT in the form
of HBR(s) as above, with parameters:

R1 and C are the internal precision components (in the
LTC1562, 10k and 159pF respectively) as described above
in Setting f0 and Q.
Unlike the notch methods of Figures 11 and 14, notch
depth from Figure 16 is inherent, not derived from component matching. Errors in the RN or CN values alter the notch
frequency, fN, rather than the degree of cancellation at fN.
Also, the notch frequency, fN, is independent of the section’s
center frequency f0, so fN can freely be equal to, higher
than or lower than f0 (Figures 12, 13 or 15, respectively)
without changing the configuration. The chief drawback of
Figure 16 compared to the previous methods is a very
practical one—the CN capacitor value directly scales HN
(and therefore the high frequency gain). Capacitor values
are generally not available in increments or tolerances as
fine as those of resistors, and this configuration lacks the
property of the previous two configurations that sensitivity to the capacitor value falls as fN approaches f0. Unlike
the previous notch circuits, this one is also noninverting at
DC.

Construction and Instrumentation Cautions
100dB rejections at hundreds of kilohertz require electrically clean, compact construction, with good grounding
and supply decoupling, and minimal parasitic capacitances in critical paths (such as Operational Filter block
INV inputs). In a circuit with 5k resistances trying for
100dB rejection at 100kHz, a stray coupling of 0.003pF
around the signal path can preclude the 100dB. (By
comparison, the stray capacitance between two adjacent
pins of an IC can be 1pF or more.) Also, high quality supply
bypass capacitors of 0.1µF near the chip provide good
decoupling from a clean, low inductance power source.
But several inches of wire (i.e., a few microhenrys of
inductance) from the power supplies, unless decoupled
by substantial capacitance (≥ 10µF) near the chip, can
cause a high-Q LC resonance in the hundreds of kHz in the
chip’s supplies or ground reference, impairing stopband
rejection and other specifications at those frequencies. In
demanding filter circuits we have often found that a
compact, carefully laid out printed circuit board with good
ground plane makes a difference of 20dB in both stopband
rejection and distortion performance. Highly selective
circuits can even exhibit these issues at frequencies well
below 100kHz. Finally, equipment to measure filter performance can itself introduce distortion or noise floors;
checking for these limits with a wire replacing the filter is
a prudent routine procedure.
