818 Series
1 kHz to 1.28 MHz
8-Bit Programmable
Description
The 818 Series are digitally programmable low-pass
and high-pass active filters that are tunable over a
256:1 frequency range. 818 filters are available with
any one of five standard factory-set tuning ranges or
8-bit custom ranges from 1 kHz to 1.28 MHz. These
units contain 8 CMOS logic inputs.
818 Series models are convenient, low profile, easy
to use fully finished filters which require no external
components or adjustments. They feature low
harmonic distortion, and near theoretical amplitude
characteristics. 818 filters operate from non-critical
±12 to ±18 Vdc power supplies, have a 5 kΩ (min.)
input impedance, a 10Ω (max.) output impedance
and low-pass models offer dc voltage offset
adjustment.
Features/Benefits:
• Low harmonic distortion and wide signal-to-noise
ratio to 12-bit resolution
• Digitally programmable corner frequency allows
selecting cut-off frequencies specific to each
application
• Plug-in ready-to-use, reducing engineering design
and manufacturing cycle time
• Factory-set tuning range, no external clocks or
adjustments needed
• Broad range of transfer characteristics and corner
frequencies to meet a wide range of applications
Applications
• Anti-alias and band-pass filtering
• Data acquisition systems
• Satellite and telecommunications
• Acoustic and vibration analysis and control
• Aerospace, navigation and sonar
• Medical research and electronic equipment
• Engine test and simulation
• Noise elimination
• Video systems

Digital Tuning Characteristics
The digital tuning interface circuits are two 4042 quad CMOS
latches which accept the following CMOS-compatible inputs:
eight tuning bits (D

818 Series
1 kHz to 1.28 MHz
Phase Deviation from Theoretical:
The phase response of the amplifiers and the
capacitance of the frequency control switches of the 818
series contribute to the overall phase response and
cause it to deviate from theoretical. For the higher
frequency models ( -4 and -5 ), where the cutoff
frequencies can be programmed up to 1.28MHz, the
deviation from theoretical can be substantial.
Figure 1 is a normalized plot of the phase deviation from
theoretical for an 818L8E-5 for programmed cutoff
frequencies from 5kHz ( fc min ) to 1.28MHz (fc max ).
For fc of 5kHz, the deviation from the 323° theoretical
phase shift is 2° but for fc of 1.28MHz the deviation is
78°. This set of curves can be used to estimate the
deviation from theoretical phase for other models in the
818 series.
Figure 1 represents a "maximum deviation from
theoretical phase" situation. Other models (i.e. -1 to -4)
will exhibit a similar set of phase deviation curves with
the phase scale being reduced by the ratio of the f max
of the model to the f max of the -5. For example, an L8E-
1, whose programming frequency range is from 1kHz to
256kHz (1/5 of the range of the -5 model) will have a
similar set of phase deviation curves but the maximum
phase deviation, at the highest frequency setting (fc
max), will be approximately 1/5 that of the -5 model (78/5
= 15.6°). The other programmed settings of the -1 will
also produce proportionally reduced phase deviations.
Unit to Unit Phase Match
2
The actual phase shift through a filter at a frequency " f "
is determined by its programmed frequency " fc ", the
theoretical phase response of the transfer function (B, L,
E, or D80) and the phase deviation from theoretical
which in turn depends upon component tolerances, the
model # (i.e. -1 through -5) and frequency to which it is
programmed. It is therefore not possible to have a
meaningful unit to unit phase match that is specified by a
single number.
For a group of the same model type and number,
programmed to the same frequency, the unit to unit
phase match can be approximated as a percentage of
the theoretical phase shift with a correction term added
to accommodate amplifier induced phase deviations.

Eg. - for an 818L8E-3, the phase deviation from
theoretical at a frequency of 192kHz, when the cutoff
frequency fc is programmed to 384kHz is:
f/fc = 192kHz/384kHz = 0.5, fmax = 768kHz
Φτ(f)
= 133° (from data table at f/fc = 0.5)
Phase Match:
∆Φ(f)max
= 0.02° x
Φτ(f)
+ 4.0° x f/fc x fmax/1.28MHz
= 0.02 x (-133°) + 4.0° x 0.5 x 768kHz/1.28MHz
