8th-Order, Lowpass, Bessel,
Switched-Capacitor Filters
General Description
The MAX7401/MAX7405 8th-order, lowpass, Bessel,
switched-capacitor filters (SCFs) operate from a single
+5V (MAX7401) or +3V (MAX7405) supply. These
devices draw only 2mA of supply current and allow cor-
ner frequencies from 1Hz to 5kHz, making them ideal
for low-power post-DAC filtering and anti-aliasing appli-
cations. They feature a shutdown mode that reduces
supply current to 0.2µA.
Two clocking options are available on these devices:
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 out-
put level.
The MAX7401/MAX7405 Bessel filters provide low over-
shoot and fast settling. Their 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.
