The LTC®1560-1 is a 5th order, continuous-time, lowpass
filter.
The elliptic transfer function of the LTC1560-1 was
carefully chosen to reach a compromise between selectivity, for antialiasing applications, and transient response.
The filter cutoff frequency, f
, is pin selectable to
CUTOFF
either 500kHz (Pin 5 to V+) or 1MHz (Pin 5 to V–). When
programmed for 1MHz, the passband ripple is typically
± 0.2dB up to 0.55f
transition band gain is –24dB at 1.4f
2f
. Stopband attenuation is 63dB at 2.43f
CUTOFF
and ±0.3dB to 0.9f
CUTOFF
CUTOFF
. The
CUTOFF
and –51dB at
and
CUTOFF
above, remaining at least 60dB to 10MHz with proper
board layout. When the LTC1560-1 is programmed for
f
= 500kHz, the filter response closely follows the
CUTOFF
1MHz case with the exception of passband flatness near
the cutoff frequency; the gain at f
CUTOFF
is –1.3dB.
The LTC1560-1, unlike other high frequency filters, is
designed for low noise and low distortion. With a 1V
RMS
input signal, the signal-to-noise ratio is 69dB and the THD
is –63dB. The maximum SNR of 75dB is obtained with a
2.1V
input signal. This results in –46dB THD.
RMS
The LTC1560-1 operates with ±5V supplies, has a power
saving mode and is available in an SO-8 surface mount
package.
Other cutoff frequencies from 450kHz to 1.5MHz can be
obtained. Demo board DC135A is available for the
LTC1560-1. For more information please contact LTC
Marketing.

The ● denotes specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range.
Note 1: To properly measure high frequency characteristics of the filter, a
noninverting output buffer is recommended as shown on the demo board
2
connection diagram, Figure 2. A small resistor (e.g. 100Ω) can also be
used instead of the buffer to isolate any high capacitive load (C
from the filter output.
Note 2: The stopband gain at 2.44MHz is guaranteed by design.

PIN FUNCTIONS
G
ND (Pins 1, 3): Analog Ground Pins. The quality of the
analog ground can affect the filter performance. For dual
supply operation the analog ground pin should be connected to an analog ground plane surrounding the package. The analog ground plane should be connected to a
digital ground plane (if any) at a single point. For single
supply operation, the analog ground pin should be biased
at one-half the power supply across the device (see
Figure 1) and the analog ground plane should then be
connected to V– (Pin 4).
VIN (Pin 2): The filter input is internally connected to the
inverting input of a high frequency op amp through an 8k
resistor.
V–, V+ (Pins 4, 6): Power Supply Pins. The negative and
positive power supply (Pins 4 and 6 respectively) should
be decoupled with a 0.1µF capacitor in parallel with a
0.01µF. Both capacitors should be types designed for
decoupling video frequencies and they should be placed
as close as possible to the power supply pins of the filter.
Parallel routing of high frequency signal paths should be
avoided; they will couple into the device’s power supply
pins and cause gain inaccuracy and stopband degrada-
LTC1560-1
tion. The power supplies can be applied in any order, that
is, the positive supply can be applied before the negative
supply and vice versa. Switching power supplies are not
recommended.
0.5fC/fC (Pin 5): By tying Pin 5 high the filter cutoff
frequency is internally programmed for 500kHz. By tying
Pin 5 low the cutoff frequency will switch to 1MHz. Pin 5
should not be left floating. The logic threshold of Pin 5 is
approximately 0.4 times the total power supply across the
device.
SHDN (Pin 7): Shutdown. Under normal operating conditions, Pin 7 should be shorted either to the analog ground
(Pin 1) or to V– (Pin 4). If Pin 7 is pulled high to V+, the filter
operation will stop and the IC will be placed in a power
saving mode. The power supply current will then be
reduced to 1mA. For a ±5V supply, the logic threshold of
Pin 7 is 2.5V. Pin 7 is internally connected to the analog
ground pin via a 50k resistor.
V
(Pin 8): The filter output pin can sink or source 1mA.
OUT
The total harmonic distortion of the filter will degrade
when driving coaxial cables or loads less than 10k without
an output buffer.
