LMF100
High Performance Dual Switched Capacitor Filter
General Description
The LMF100 consists of two independent general purpose
high performance switched capacitor filters. With an external
clock and 2 to 4 resistors, various second-order and
first-order filtering functions can be realized by each filter
block. Each block has 3 outputs. One output can be configured to perform either an allpass, highpass, or notch function. The other two outputs perform bandpass and lowpass
functions. The center frequency of each filter stage is tuned
by usinganexternalclock or a combination of a clock and resistor ratio. Up to a 4th-order biquadratic function can be realized with a single LMF100. Higher order filters are implemented by simply cascading additional packages, and all the
classical filters (such as Butterworth, Bessel, Elliptic, and
Chebyshev) can be realized.
The LMF100 is fabricated on National Semiconductor’s high
performance analog silicon gate CMOS process,
LMCMOS
set, high frequency filter building block. The LMF100 is
pin-compatible with the industry standard MF10, but provides greatly improved performance.

2.0 Modes of Operation
The LMF100 is a switched capacitor (sampled data) filter.To
fully describe its transfer functions, a time domain analysis is
appropriate. Since this is cumbersome, and since the
LMF100 closely approximates continuous filters, the following discussion is based on the well-known frequency domain. Each LMF100 can produce two full 2nd order functions. See

3.1 DESIGN EXAMPLE
In order to design a filter using the LMF100, we must define
the necessary values of three parameters for each
second-order section: f
H
, the passband gain; and the filter’s Q. These are deter-
0
mined by the characteristics required of the filter being designed.
As an example, let’s assume that a system requires a
fourth-order Chebyshev low-pass filter with 1 dB ripple, unity
gain at dc, and 1000 Hz cutoff frequency.As the system order is four, it is realizable using both second-order sections
of an LMF100. Many filter design texts (and National’s
Switched Capacitor Filter Handbook) include tables that list
the characteristics (f
ter sections needed to synthesize a given higher-order filter.
For the Chebyshev filter defined above, such a table yields
the following characteristics:

For unity gain at dc, we also specify:

The desired clock-to-cutoff-frequency ratio for the overall filter of this example is 100 and a 100 kHz clock signal is available. Note that the required center frequencies for the two
second-order sections will not be obtainable with
clock-to-center-frequency ratios of 50 or 100. It will be necessary to adjust

externally.From
Table1
, we see that Mode 3 can be used to
produce a low-pass filter with resistor-adjustable center frequency.
In most filter designs involving multiple second-order stages,
it is best to place the stages with lower Q values ahead of
stages with higher Q, especially when the higher Q is greater
than 0.707. This is due to the higher relative gain at the center frequency of a higher-Q stage. Placing a stage with lower
Q ahead of a higher-Q stage will provide some attenuation at
the center frequency and thus help avoid clipping of signals
near this frequency. For this example, stage A has the lower
Q (0.785) so it will be placed ahead of the other stage.
For the first section, we begin the design by choosing a convenient value for the input resistance: R

should be very “clean”, as any noise appearing on it will be
treated as an input to the filter. It can be derived from the
supply voltage with a pair of resistors and a bypass capacitor
(
Figure 21a
), or a low-impedance half-supply voltage can be
made using a three-terminal voltage regulator or an operational amplifier (
Figure 21b
and
Figure 21c
). The passive resistor divider with a bypass capacitor is sufficient for many
applications, provided that the time constant is long enough
to reject any power supply noise. It is also important that the
half-supply reference present a low impedance to the clock
frequency, so at very low clock frequencies the regulator or
op-amp approaches may be preferable because they will require smaller capacitors to filter the clock frequency. The
main power supply voltage should be clean (preferably regulated) and bypassed with 0.1 µF.
3.3 DYNAMIC CONSIDERATIONS
The maximum signal handling capability of the LMF100, like
that of any active filter, is limited by the power supply voltages used. The amplifiers in the LMF100 are able to swing to
within about 1 volt of the supplies, so the input signals must
be kept small enough that none of the outputs will exceed
these limits. If the LMF100 is operating on
ample, the outputs will clip at about 8V

3.4 OFFSET VOLTAGE
The LMF100’s switched capacitor integrators have a slightly
higher input offset voltage than found in a typical continuous
time active filter integrator. Because of National’s new LMCMOS process and new design techniques the internal offsets
have been minimized, compared to the industry standard
MF10.

In many applications, the outputs are ac coupled and dc offsets are not bothersome unless large signals are applied to
the filter input. However, larger offset voltages will cause
clipping to occur at lower ac signal levels, and clipping at any
of the outputs will cause gain nonlinearities and will change

The LMF100 is a sampled data filter, and as such, differs in
many ways from conventional continuous-time filters. An important characteristic of sampled-data systems is their effect
on signals at frequencies greater than one-half the sampling
frequency. (The LMF100’s sampling frequency is the same
as its clock frequency.) If a signal with a frequency greater
than one-half the sampling frequency is applied to the input
of a sampled data system, it will be “reflected” to a frequency
less than one-half the sampling frequency. Thus, an input

is much higher than the center frequency, this will often not

Another characteristic of sampled-data circuits is that the
output signal changes amplitude once every sampling period, resulting in “steps” in the output voltage which occur at
the clock rate (
Figure 25
). If necessary, these can be
“smoothed” with a simple R-C low-pass filter at the LMF100
output.
