Continuous Time, Active RC Filter, No Clock
The LTC®1563-2/LTC1563-3 are a family of extremely
easy-to-use, active RC lowpass filters with rail-to-rail
inputs and outputs and low DC offset suitable for systems
with a resolution of up to 16 bits. The LTC1563-2, with a
single resistor value, gives a unity-gain Butterworth
response. The LTC1563-3, with a single resistor value,
gives a unity-gain Bessel response. The proprietary
architecture of these parts allows for a simple resistor
calculation:
R = 10k (256kHz/fC); fC = Cutoff Frequency
where fC is the desired cutoff frequency. For many applications, this formula is all that is needed to design a filter.
By simply utilizing different valued resistors, gain and
other responses are achieved.
The LTC1563-X features a low power mode, for the lower
frequency applications, where the supply current is reduced by an order of magnitude and a near zero power
shutdown mode.
The LTC1563-Xs are available in the narrow SSOP-16
package (SO-8 footprint).

PIN FUNCTIONS
LP (Pin 1): Low Power. The LTC1563-X has two operating
modes. Most applications use the part’s High Speed
operating mode. Some lower frequency, lower gain applications can take advantage of the Low Power mode. When
placed in the Low Power mode, the supply current is nearly
an order of magnitude lower than the High Speed mode.
Refer to the Applications Information section for more
information on the Low Power mode.
The LTC1563-X is in the High Speed mode when the
LP input is at a logic high level or is open-circuited. A small
pull-up current source at the LP input defaults the
LTC1563-X to the High Speed mode if the pin is left open.
The part is in the Low Power mode when the pin is pulled
to a logic low level or connected to V –.
SA, SB (Pins 2, 11): Summing Pins. These pins are a
summing point for signals fed forward and backward.
Capacitance on the SA or SB pin will cause excess peaking
of the frequency response near the cutoff frequency. The
three external resistors for each section should be located
as close as possible to the summing pin to minimize this
effect. Refer to the Applications Information section for
more details.
NC (Pins 3, 5, 10, 12, 14): These pins are not connected
internally. For best performance, they should be connected to ground.
INVA, INVB (Pins 4, 13): Inverting Input. Each of the INV
pins is an inverting input of an op amp. Note that the INV
pins are high impedance, sensitive nodes of the filter and
very susceptible to coupling of unintended signals.
Capacitance on 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.
LPA, LPB (Pins 6, 15): Lowpass Output. These pins are
the rail-to-rail outputs of an op amp. Each output is
designed to drive a nominal net load of 5kΩ and 20pF.
Refer to the Applications Information section for more
details on output loading effects.
AGND (Pin 7): Analog Ground. The AGND pin is the
midpoint of an internal resistive voltage divider developing
a potential halfway between the V + and V – pins. The
equivalent series resistance is nominally 10kΩ. This serves
as an internal ground reference. Filter performance will
reflect the quality of the analog signal ground. An analog
ground plane surrounding the package is recommended.
The analog ground plane should be connected to any
digital ground at a single point. Figures 1 and 2 show the
proper connections for dual and single supply operation.
V –, V + (Pins 8, 16): 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. Low
noise linear supplies are recommended. Switching supplies are not recommended as they will decrease the
filter’s dynamic range. Refer to Figures 1 and 2 for the
proper connections for dual and single supply operation.
EN (Pin 9): ENABLE. When the EN input goes high or is
open-circuited, the LTC1563-X enters a shutdown state
and only junction leakage currents flow. The AGND pin, the
LPA output and the LPB output assume high impedance
states. If an input signal is applied to a complete filter
circuit while the LTC1563-X is in shutdown, some signal
will normally flow to the output through passive components around the inactive part.
A small internal pull-up current source at the EN input
defaults the LTC1563 to the shutdown state if the EN pin
is left floating. Therefore, the user must connect the EN pin
to V – (or a logic low) to enable the part for normal
operation.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Functional Description
The LTC1563-2/LTC1563-3 are a family of easy-to-use,
4th order lowpass filters with rail-to-rail operation. The
LTC1563-2, with a single resistor value, gives a unity-gain
filter approximating a Butterworth response. The
LTC1563-3, with a single resistor value, gives a unity-gain
filter approximating a Bessel (linear phase) response. The
proprietary architecture of these parts allows for a simple
unity-gain resistor calculation:
R = 10k(256kHz/fC)
where fC is the desired cutoff frequency. For many applications, this formula is all that is needed to design a filter.
For example, a 50kHz filter requires a 51.2k resistor. In
practice, a 51.1k resistor would be used as this is the
closest E96, 1% value available.
The LTC1563-X is constructed with two 2nd order sections. The output of the first section (section A) is simply
fed into the second section (section B). Note that section
A and section B are similar, but not identical. The parts are
designed to be simple and easy to use.
in parallel, yields a net effective resistance of 952k and an
error of – 5%. Note that the gain is also limited to unity at
the minimum fC.
At intermediate fC, the gain is limited by one of the two
reasons discussed above. For best results, design filters
with gain using FilterCAD Version 3 (or newer) or contact
the Linear Technology Filter Applications Group for assistance.
DC Offset, Noise and Gain Considerations
The LTC1563-X is DC offset trimmed in a 2-step manner.
First, section A is trimmed for minimum DC offset. Next,
section B is trimmed to minimize the total DC offset
(section A plus section B). This method is used to give the
minimum DC offset in unity gain applications and most
higher gain applications.
By simply utilizing different valued resistors, gain and
other transfer functions are achieved. For these applications, the resistor value calculation gets more difficult. The
tables of formulas provided later in this section make this
task much easier. For best results, design these filters
using FilterCADTM Version 3.0 (or newer) or contact the
Linear Technology Filter Applications group for assistance.
For gains greater than unity, the gain should be distributed
such that most of the gain is taken in section A, with
section B at a lower gain (preferably unity). This type of
gain distribution results in the lowest noise and lowest DC
offset. For high gain, low frequency applications, all of the
gain is taken in section A, with section B set for unity-gain.
In this configuration, the noise and DC offset is dominated
by those of section A. At higher frequencies, the op amps’
finite bandwidth limits the amount of gain that section A
can reliably achieve. The gain is more evenly distributed in
this case. The noise and DC offset of section A is now
multiplied by the gain of section B. The result is slightly
higher noise and offset.
Cutoff Frequency (fC) and Gain limitations
Output Loading: Resistive and Capacitive
The LTC563-X has both a maximum fC limit and a minimum fC limit. The maximum fC limit (256kHz in High Speed
mode and 25.6kHz in the Low Power mode) is set by the
speed of the LTC1563-X’s op amps. At the maximum fC,
the gain is also limited to unity.
The op amps of the LTC1563-X have a rail-to-rail output
stage. To obtain maximum performance, the output loading effects must be considered. Output loading issues can
be divided into resistive effects and capacitive effects.
A minimum fC is dictated by the practical limitation of
reliably obtaining large valued, precision resistors. As the
desired fC decreases, the resistor value required increases.
When fC is 2.56kHz, the resistors are 1M. Obtaining a
reliable, precise 1M resistance between two points on a
printed circuit board is somewhat difficult. For example, a
1M resistor with 20MΩ of stray, layout related resistance
Resistive loading affects the maximum output signal swing
and signal distortion. If the output load is excessive, the
output swing is reduced and distortion is increased. All of
the output voltage swing testing on the LTC1563-X is done
with R22 = 100k and a 10k load resistor. For best undistorted
output swing, the output load resistance should be greater
than 10k.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Capacitive loading on the output reduces the stability of
the op amp. If the capacitive loading is sufficiently high,
the stability margin is decreased to the point of oscillation
at the output. Capacitive loading should be kept below
30pF. Good, tight layout techniques should be maintained
at all times. These parts should not drive long traces and
must never drive a long coaxial cable. When probing the
LTC1563-X, always use a 10x probe. Never use a 1x probe.
A standard 10x probe has a capacitance of 10pF to 15pF
while a 1x probe’s capacitance can be as high as 150pF.
The use of a 1x probe will probably cause oscillation.
Capacitance to an AC ground is the most likely problem.
Capacitance on the LPA or LPB pins does not affect the
transfer function but does affect the stability of the op
amps. Capacitance on the INVA and INVB pins will affect
the transfer function somewhat and will also affect the
stability of the op amps. Capacitance on the SA and SB
pins alters the transfer function of the filter. These pins are
the most sensitive to stray capacitance. Stray capacitance
on these pins results in peaking of the frequency response
near the cutoff frequency. Poor layout can give 0.5dB to
1dB of excess peaking.
For larger capacitive loads, a series isolation resistor can
be used between the part and the capacitive load. If the
load is too great, a buffer must be used.
To minimize the effects of parasitic layout capacitance, all
of the resistors for section A should be placed as close as
possible to the SA pin. Place the R31 resistor first so that
it is as close as possible to the SA pin on one end and as
close as possible to the INVA pin on the other end. Use the
same strategy for the layout of section B, keeping all of the
resistors as close as possible to the SB node and first
placing R32 between the SB and INVB pins. It is also best
if the signal routing and resistors are on the same layer as
the part without any vias in the signal path.
Layout Precautions
The LTC1563-X is an active RC filter. The response of the
filter is determined by the on-chip capacitors and the
external resistors. Any external, stray capacitance in parallel with an on-chip capacitor, or to an AC ground, can
alter the transfer function.
