5th-Order, Lowpass,
Switched-Capacitor Filters
General Description
The MAX7418–MAX7425 5th-order, low-pass, switched-
capacitor filters (SCFs) operate from a single +5V
(MAX7418–MAX7421) or +3V (MAX7422–MAX7425)
supply. These devices draw only 3mA of supply current
and allow corner frequencies from 1Hz to 45kHz, mak-
ing them ideal for low-power post-DAC filtering and anti-
aliasing applications. They feature a shutdown mode
that reduces supply current to 0.2µA.
Two clocking options are available: self-clocking
(through the use of an external capacitor), or external
clocking for tighter corner-frequency control. An offset
adjust pin allows for adjustment of the DC output level.
The MAX7418/MAX7422 deliver 53dB of stopband
rejection and a sharp rolloff with a 1.6 transition ratio.
The MAX7421/MAX7425 achieve a sharper rolloff with a
1.25 transition ratio while still providing 37dB of stop-
band rejection. The MAX7419/MAX7423 Bessel filters
provide low overshoot and fast settling, and the
MAX7420/MAX7424 Butterworth filters provide a maxi-
mally flat passband response. Their fixed response sim-
plifies the design task of selecting a clock frequency.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
