8th-Order, Lowpass, Butterworth,
Switched-Capacitor Filter
General Description
The MAX7480 8th-order, lowpass, Butterworth,
switched-capacitor filter (SCF) operates from a single
+5V supply. The device draws only 2.9mA of supply
current and allows corner frequencies from 1Hz to
2kHz, making it ideal for low-power post-DAC filtering
and anti-aliasing applications. The MAX7480 features a
shutdown mode, which reduces the 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 MAX7480 Butterworth filter provides a maximally
flat passband response. The fixed response simplifies
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.
