LT1568
Very Low Noise,
High Frequency Active RC,
Filter Building Block
DESCRIPTIO
The LT
®
1568 is an easy-to-use, active-RC filter building
block with rail-to-rail inputs and outputs. The internal ca-
pacitors of the IC and the GBW product of the internal low
noise op amps are trimmed such that consistent and repeat-
able filter responses can be achieved. With a single resis-
tor value, the LT1568 provides a pair of
matched
2-pole
Butterworth lowpass filters with unity gain suitable for I/Q
channels.
By using unequal-valued external resistors, the two 2-pole
sections can create different frequency responses or
gains. In addition, the two stages may be cascaded to
create a single 4-pole filter with a programmable re-
sponse. Capable of cutoff frequencies up to 10MHz, the
LT1568 is ideal for antialiasing or channel filtering in high
speed data communications systems. The LT1568 can
also be used as a bandpass filter.
The LT1568 features very low noise, supporting signal-to-
noise ratios of over 90dB. It also provides single-ended to
differential signal conversion for directly driving high
speed A/D converters. The LT1568 has a shutdown mode
that reduces supply current to approximately 0.5mA on a
5V supply.
The LT1568 is available in a narrow 16-lead SSOP
package.
