The quality of the analog signal ground can affect the filter performance. For either single or dual supply operation, an analog ground plane surrounding the package is recommended. The analog ground plane should be connected to any digital ground at a single point. For dual supply operation Pin should be connected to the analog ground plane. For single supply operation Pin should be bypassed to the analog ground plane with a.µf or larger capacitor. An internal resistive divider biases Pin to / the total power supply. Pin should be buffered if used to bias other ICs. Figure shows the connections for single supply operation. V +, V (Pins, ): Power Supply Pins. The V + (Pin ) and the V (Pin ) should be bypassed with a.µf capacitor to an adequate analog ground. The filter s power supplies should be isolated from other digital or high voltage analog supplies. A low noise linear supply is recommended. sing switching power supplies will lower the signal-to-noise ratio of the filter. nlike previous monolithic filters, the power supplies can be applied at any order, that is, the positive supply can be applied before the negative supply and vice versa.

LTC9- PIN FNCTIONS NC (Pins, ): No Connection. Pins and are not connected to any internal circuity; they should be preferably tied to ground. (Pin ): Filter Input Pin. The filter input pin is internally connected to the inverting input of an op amp through a k resistor. CLK (Pin ): Clock Input Pin. Any TTL or CMOS clock source with a square wave output and % duty cycle (±%) is an adequate clock source for the device. The power supply for the clock source should not necessarily be the filter s power supply. The analog ground of the filter should be connected to clock s ground at a single point only. Table shows the clock s low and high level threshold value for a dual or a single supply operation. A pulse generator can be used as a clock source provided the high level ON time is greater than.µs (). Sine waves less than khz are not recommended for clock signal because excessive slow clock rise or fall times generate internal clock jitter. The maximum clock rise or APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Temperature Behavior W The power supply current of the LTC9- has a positive temperature coefficient. The GBW product of its internal op amps is nearly constant and the speed of the device does not degrade at high temperatures. Figures a, b and c show the behavior of the maximum passband of the device for various supplies and temperatures. The filter, fall is µs. The clock signal should be routed from the right side of the IC package to avoid coupling into any input or output analog signal path. A k resistor between the clock source and the clock input pin () will slow down the rise and fall times of the clock to further reduce charge coupling, Figure. Table.

Pin is the output of the filter and it can source or sink ma. Driving coaxial cables or resistive loads less than k will degrade the total harmonic distortion of the filter. When evaluating the device s dynamic range, a buffer is required to isolate the filter s output from coax cables and instruments. especially at ±V supply, has a passband behavior which is nearly temperature independent. Clock Feedthrough The clock feedthrough is defined as the RMS value of the clock frequency and its harmonics that are present at the filter s output pin (). The clock feedthrough is tested with......... V S =.V f CLK = khz =.V RMS T A = C T A = C T A = C....... 9- Fa......... V S = V f CLK = MHz =.V RMS T A = C........ 9..

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION W the input pin () shorted to the AGND pin and depends on PC board layout and on the value of the power supplies. With proper layout techniques the values of the clock feedthrough are shown on Table. Table. Clock Feedthrough V S CLOCK FEEDTHROGH.V µv RMS V µv RMS ±V µv RMS Any parasitic switching transients during the rise and fall edges of the incoming clock are not part of the clock feedthrough specifications. Switching transients have frequency contents much higher than the applied clock; their amplitude strongly depends on scope probing techniques as well as grounding and power supply bypassing. The clock feedthrough can be reduced, if bothersome, by adding a single RC lowpass filter at the output pin () of the LTC9-. Wideband Noise The wideband noise of the filter is the total RMS value of the device s noise spectral density and determines the operating signal-to-noise ratio. Most of the wideband noise frequency contents lie within the filter passband. The wideband noise cannot be reduced by adding post filtering. The total wideband noise is nearly independent of the clock frequency and depends slightly on the power Table. Wideband Noise V S WIDEBAND NOISE.V µv RMS V µv RMS ±V µv RMS LTC9- supply voltage (see Table ). The clock feedthrough specifications are not part of the wideband noise. Aliasing Aliasing is an inherent phenomenon of sampled data systems and it occurs for input frequencies approaching the sampling frequency. The internal sampling frequency of the LTC9- is times its cutoff frequency. For instance, if a 9kHz, mv RMS signal is applied at the input of an LTC9- operating with a khz clock, a khz, µv RMS alias signal will appear at the filter output. Table shows details. Table.
