Pin Description
GND
This is the analog ground reference for the
LMF380. In split supply applications, GND
should be connected to the system ground.
When operating the LMF380 from a single
positive power supply voltage, pin 1 should
be connected to a ‘‘clean’’ reference volt-
age midway between V
a
and V
b
.
N.C.
These pins are not connected to the inter-
nal circuitry.
OUT1, OUT2,
These are the outputs of the filters.
OUT3
XTAL1
This is the crystal oscillator input pin. When
using the internal oscillator, the crystal
should be tied between XTAL1 and XTAL2.
XTAL1 also serves as the input for an exter-
nal CMOS-level clock.
XTAL2
This is the output of the internal crystal
oscillator. When using the internal oscilla-
tor, the crystal should be tied between
XTAL1 and XTAL2.
V
b
This is the negative power supply pin. It
should be bypassed with at least a 0.1
m
F
ceramic capacitor. For best results, a
1.0
m
F to 10.0
m
F tantalum capacitor
should also be used. For single-supply op-
eration, connect this pin to system ground.
CLOCK OUT
This is the clock output pin. It can drive the
clock inputs (XTAL1) of additional LMF380s
or other components. The clock output fre-
quency is one-half the clock frequency at
XTAL1.
INPUT1,
INPUT2,
INPUT3
V
a
These are the signal inputs to the filters.
This is the positive power supply pin. It
should be bypassed with at least a 0.1
m
F
ceramic capacitor. For best results, a 1.0
m
F to 10.0
m
F tantalum capacitor should
also be used.
Functional Description
The LMF380 contains three fourth-order Chebyshev band-
pass filters whose center frequencies are spaced one-third
of an octave apart, making it ideal for use in ‘‘real time’’
audio
spectrum
analysis
applications.
switched-capacitor filters, the center frequencies are pro-
portional to the clock frequency applied to the IC; the center
frequencies of the LMF380’s three filters are located at
f
CLK
/50, f
CLK
/62.5, and f
CLK
/80.
The three filters in an LMF380 cover a full octave in fre-
quency, so that by using several LMF380s with clock fre-
quencies separated by a factor of 2n, a complex audio pro-
gram can be analyzed for frequency content over a range of
several octaves. To facilitate this, the CLK OUT pin of the
LMF380 supplies an output clock signal whose frequency is
one-half that of the incoming clock frequency. Therefore, a
single clock source can provide the clock reference for all of
the 30 filters (10LMF380s) in a real time analyzer that cov-
ers the entire 10-octave audio frequency range. The
LMF380 contains an internal clock oscillator that requires
an external crystal and two capacitors to operate. Since the
clock divider is on-board, only a single crystal is needed for
the top-octave filter chip; the remaining devices can derive
their clock signals from the master. If desired, an external
oscillator can be used instead.
As
with
other
Figure 1 shows the magnitude versus frequency curves for
the three filters in the LMF380. Separate input and output
pins are provided for the three internal filters. The input pins
will normally be connected to a common signal source, but
can also be connected to separate input signals when nec-
essary.
