The LTC
®
1562 is a low noise, low distortion continuous-time
filter with rail-to-rail inputs and outputs, optimized for a
center frequency (f
O
) of 10kHz to 150kHz. 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 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 94dB signal-to-noise
ratio from a single 5V power supply. Low level signals can
exploit the built-in gain capability of the LTC1562. Varying the
gain of a section can achieve a dynamic range as high as
118dB with a
±5V
supply.
Other cutoff frequency ranges can be provided upon request.

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. In the
20-lead SSOP package, the additional 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 sup-
plies are not recommended as they will lower the filter
dynamic range.
Analog Ground (AGND):
The AGND pin is the midpoint of
an internal resistive voltage divider, developing a potential
halfway between the V
+
and V
–
pins, with an equivalent
series resistance nominally 7kΩ. This serves as an inter-
nal 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 should be connected to the ground plane

package does not have the four substrate pins (Pins 4, 7,
14, 17 in the 20-pin package).
Shutdown (SHDN):
When the SHDN input goes high or is
open-circuited, the LTC1562 enters a “zero-power” shut-
down 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 effectively
disappear from the circuit. (If an input signal is applied to
a complete filter circuit while the LTC1562 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 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. (This con-
vention 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.
