5th-Order, Lowpass, Elliptic,
Switched-Capacitor Filters
General Description
The MAX7426/MAX7427 5th-order, lowpass, elliptic,
switched-capacitor filters (SCFs) operate from a single
+5V (MAX7426) or +3V (MAX7427) supply. The devices
draw only 0.8mA of supply current and allow corner fre-
quencies from 1Hz to 12kHz, making them ideal for
low-power post-DAC filtering and anti-aliasing applica-
tions. They can be put into a low-power mode, reducing
supply current to 0.2µA.
Two clocking options are available: self-clocking (through
the use of an external capacitor) or external clocking for
tighter cutoff-frequency control. An offset-adjust pin
allows for adjustment of the DC output level.
The MAX7426/MAX7427 deliver 37dB of stopband
rejection and a sharp rolloff with a transition ratio of
1.25. Their fixed response limits the design task to
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.
