LMF40 High Performance 4th-Order
Switched-Capacitor Butterworth Low-Pass Filter
General Description
The LMF40 is a versatile, easy to use, precision 4th-order
Butterworth low-pass filter fabricated using National’s high
performance LMCMOS process. Switched-capacitor tech-
niques eliminate external component requirements and al-
low a clock-tunable cutoff frequency. The ratio of the clock
frequency to the low-pass cutoff frequency is internally set
to 50-to-1 (LMF40-50) or 100-to-1 (LMF40-100). A Schmitt
trigger clock input stage allows two clocking options, either
self-clocking (via an external resistor and capacitor) for
stand-alone applications, or for tighter cutoff frequency con-
trol, an external TTL or CMOS logic compatible clock can
be applied. The maximally flat passband frequency re-
sponse together with a DC gain of 1 V/V allows cascading
LMF40 sections together for higher-order filtering.
