Low-Power Shutdown Mode
These devices feature a shutdown mode that is activat-
ed by driving SHDN low. In shutdown mode, the filter’s
supply current reduces to 0.2µA and its output becomes
high impedance. For normal operation, drive SHDN
high or connect it to VDD.
__________Applications Information
Offset and Common-Mode
Input Adjustment
The COM pin sets the common-mode input voltage and
is biased at mid-supply with an internal resistor-divider.
If the application does not require offset adjustment,
connect OS to COM. For applications requiring offset
adjustment, apply an external bias voltage through a
resistor-divider network to OS such as shown in Fig-
ure 3. For applications that require DC level shifting,
adjust OS with respect to COM. (Note: OS should not
be left unconnected.) The output voltage is represent-
ed by this equation:
VOUT = (VIN - VCOM) + VOS
with VCOM = VDD / 2 (typical), and where (VIN - VCOM)
is lowpass filtered by the SCF, and OS is added at the
output stage. See the
Electrical Characteristics
for the
voltage range of COM and OS. Changing the voltage
on COM or OS significantly from midsupply reduces
the filter’s dynamic range.
Power Supplies
The MAX7409/MAX7410 operate from a single +5V
supply and the MAX7413/MAX7414 operate from a sin-
gle +3V supply. Bypass VDD to GND with a 0.1µF
capacitor. If dual supplies are required (±2.5V for
MAX7409/MAX7410, ±1.5V for MAX7413/MAX7414),
connect COM to system ground and connect GND to
the negative supply. Figure 4 shows an example of
dual-supply operation. Single- and dual-supply perfor-
mance are equivalent. For either single- or dual-supply
operation, drive CLK and SHDN from GND (V- in dual-
supply operation) to VDD. For ±5V dual-supply applica-
tions, use the MAX291–MAX297.
Input Signal Amplitude Range
The optimal input signal range is determined by
observing the voltage level at which the Total Harmonic
Distortion + Noise is minimized for a given corner fre-
quency. The
Typical Operating Characteristics
show
graphs of the devices’ Total Harmonic Distortion plus
Noise Response as the input signal’s peak-to-peak
amplitude is varied.
Anti-Aliasing and DAC Postfiltering
When using these devices for anti-aliasing or DAC
postfiltering, synchronize the DAC (or ADC) and the fil-
ter clocks. If the clocks are not synchronized, beat fre-
quencies will alias into the desired passband.
Harmonic Distortion
Harmonic distortion arises from nonlinearities within the
filter. These nonlinearities generate harmonics when a
pure sine wave is applied to the filter input. Table 1 lists
typical harmonic-distortion values for the MAX7410/
MAX7414 with a 10kΩload at TA= +25°C. Table 2 lists
typical harmonic-distortion values for the MAX7409/
MAX7413 with a 10kΩload at TA= +25°C.
