The LTC
®
1562-2 is a low noise, low distortion continuous
time filter with rail-to-rail inputs and outputs, optimized for a
center frequency (f
O
) of 20kHz to 300kHz. Unlike most
monolithic filters, no clock is needed. Four independent 2nd
order filter blocks can be cascaded in any combination, such
as one 8th order or two 4th order filters. Each block’s
response is programmed with three external resistors for
center frequency, Q and gain, using simple design formulas.
Each 2nd order block provides lowpass and bandpass out-
puts. Highpass response is available if an external capacitor
replaces one of the resistors. Allpass, notch and elliptic
responses can also be realized.
The LTC1562-2 is designed for applications where dynamic
range is important. For example, by cascading 2nd order
sections in pairs, the user can configure the IC as a dual 4th
order Butterworth lowpass filter with 90dB signal-to-noise
ratio from a single 5V power supply. Low level signals can
exploit the built-in gain capability of the LTC1562-2. Varying
the gain of a section can achieve a dynamic range as high as
114dB with a
±5V
supply.
Other cutoff frequency ranges can be provided upon request.

PIN FUNCTIONS
Power Supply Pins:
The V
+
and V
–
pins should be
bypassed with 0.1µF capacitors to an adequate analog
ground or ground plane. These capacitors should be
connected as closely as possible to the supply pins. Pins
4, 7, 14 and 17 are internally connected to V
–
(Pin 16) and
should also be tied to the same point as Pin 16 for best
shielding. Low noise linear supplies are recommended.
Switching supplies are not recommended as they will
lower the filter dynamic range.
Analog Ground (AGND):
The AGND pin is the midpoint of
a resistive voltage divider, developing a potential halfway
between the V
+
and V
–
pins, with an equivalent series
resistance nominally 7k. This serves as an internal ground
reference. Filter performance will reflect the quality of the
analog signal ground and 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, the AGND pin

Shutdown (SHDN):
When the SHDN input goes high or is
open-circuited, the LTC1562-2 enters a “zero-power”
shutdown state and only junction leakage currents flow.
The AGND pin and the amplifier outputs (see Figure 3)
assume a high impedance state and the amplifiers effec-
tively disappear from the circuit. (If an input signal is
applied to a complete filter circuit while the LTC1562-2 is
in shutdown, some signal will normally flow to the output
through passive components around the inactive op amps.)
A small pull-up current source at the SHDN input
defaults
the LTC1562-2 to the shutdown state if the SHDN pin is left
floating.
Therefore, the user
must
connect the SHDN pin
to a logic “low” (0V for
±5V
supplies, V
–
for 5V total
supply) for normal operation of the LTC1562-2. (This
convention permits true “zero-power” shutdown since not
even the driving logic must deliver current while the part
is in shutdown.) With a single supply voltage, use V
–
for
logic “low,” do not connect SHDN to the AGND pin.
