The LTC

1566-1 is a 7th order continuous time lowpass
filter with 12dB of passband gain. The selectivity, linearity
and dynamic range makes the LTC1566-1 suitable for
filtering in data communications or data acquisition
systems. The filter attenuation is 40dB at 1.5
×
f
CUTOFF
and
at least 60dB for frequencies above 10MHz.
The LTC1566-1 has an input referred noise of 62µV
RMS
in
a 2MHz bandwidth. In receiver applications where the
signal levels are small, the filter features 71dB of spurious
free dynamic range.
With 5% accuracy of the cutoff frequency, the LTC1566-1
can be used in applications requiring pairs of matched
filters, such as transceiver I and Q channels.
The differential inputs and outputs provide a simple inter-
face for wireless systems. The high impedance inputs are
easily coupled to differential demodulators or D/A con-
verters. The output DC common mode voltage and output
DC offset voltage are adjustable so the signal path can be
optimized for driving an A/D converter or differential
modulator.
Other cutoff frequencies and single-ended I/O can be
provided upon request. Please contact LTC Marketing.

(Pins 1, 2):
Input Pins. Signals can be applied to
either or both input pins. The DC gain from differential
inputs (Pin 1 to Pin 2) to the differential outputs (Pin 8 to
Pin 7) is 4V/V. The input range is described in the Applica-
tions Information section.
GND (Pin 3):
Ground. The ground pin is the reference
voltage for the filter. This is a high impedance input, which
requires an external biasing network. Biasing GND to
one-half the total power supply voltage of the filter maxi-
mizes the dynamic range. For single supply operation the
ground pin should be bypassed with a quality 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor to Pin 4. For dual supply operation,
connect Pin 3 to a high quality DC ground. A ground plane
should be used. A poor ground will increase noise and
distortion. Pin 3 also serves as the DC reference voltage for
Pin 7.
V
–
, V
+
(Pins 4, 6):
Power Supply Pins. For a single 5V
supply (Pin 4 grounded) a quality 0.1µF ceramic bypass
capacitor is required from the positive supply pin (Pin 6)
to the negative supply pin (Pin 4). The bypass should be
as close as possible to the IC. For dual supply applications
(Pin 3 is grounded), bypass Pin 6 to Pin 3 and Pin 4 to
Pin 3 with a quality 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
V
ODC
(Pin 5):
Output DC Offset. Pin 5 is the DC reference
voltage for Pin 8. By applying a DC offset between Pin 3
and Pin 5, a DC offset will be added to the differential signal
between Pin 7 and Pin 8. Like the GND pin, the V
ODC
pin is
a high impedance which requires no bias current. Care
should be taken when biasing Pin 5 since noise between
Pin 3 and Pin 5 will appear at the filter output unattenuated.
The frequency response of Pin 5 is described in the
Applications Information section.
OUT
–
, OUT
+
(Pins 7, 8):
Output Pins. Pins 7 and 8 are the
filter differential outputs. Each pin can drive 1kΩ or 300pF
loads. The DC reference voltage of Pin 8 is the same as the
voltage at Pin 5. The DC reference voltage of Pin 7 is the
same as the voltage at Pin 3.

The difference between the voltages at Pin 1 and Pin 2 is
the “differential input voltage.” The average of the voltages
at Pin 1 and Pin 2 is the “common mode input voltage.”
The difference between the voltages at Pin 7 and Pin 8 is
the “differential output voltage.” The average of the volt-
ages at Pin 7 and Pin 8 is the “common mode output
voltage.” The input and output common mode voltages
are independent. The input common mode voltage is set

output can also be AC coupled.
The output common mode voltage is equal to the voltage
of Pin 3, the GND pin, whenever Pin 5 is shorted to Pin 3.
In configurations where Pin 5, the V

to Pin 3, the output common mode voltage is equal to the
average of the voltages at Pin 3 and Pin 5. The operation
of Pin 5 is described in the paragraph “Output DC Offset
