Demonstration circuit DC266B-A is for the evaluation of
8th order filter circuits using an LTC1562 (no dash) and
DC266B-B for an LTC1562-2. LTC1562 and LTC1562-2
are quad 2nd order active-RC filter building blocks. The
LTC1562 or LTC1562-2 2nd order sections can be con
figured with external resistors to implement lowpass and
narrow or wide band bandpass filters. The frequency
range for a
lowpass
filter is 10kHz to 150kHz and 20kHz to
For other possible LTC1562 or LTC1562-2 configurations,
the DC226B-A and DC226B-B have unused pads for 0805
surface mount resistors and capacitors preconfigured
with PCB traces to allow for the following filter circuits:
-
1. 8th order lowpass filter
2. Dual 4th or 5th order lowpass filter
3. 8th order narrow band bandpass
300kHz for the LTC1562 and LTC1562-2 respectively. The
frequency range for a bandpass filter is 20kHz to 120kHz
and 40kHz to 250kHz for the LTC1562 and LTC1562-2
respectively (the LTC1562A is higher precision version
of the LTC1562).
For testing and evaluation, the DC266B-A is configured as
an 8th order, 50kHz bandpass filter and the DC266B-B is
configured as an 8th order, 200kHz bandpass filter.
4. 8th order wide band bandpass.
Refer to the LTC1562 or LTC1562-2 data sheet for com
prehensive filter design information.

DEMO MANUAL DC266B
For testing and evaluation, the DC266B-A is configured
as an 8th order, 50kHz bandpass filter (Figure 2) and the
DC266B-B is configured as an 8th order, 200kHz bandpass
filter (Figure 3). The external resistors for the 50kHz and
200kHz bandpass filter are ±0.1% precision to highlight
the frequency accuracy of the LTC1562A or LTC1562-2
(±0.6% and ±1.7% 2nd order frequency error for the
LTC1562A and LTC1562-2 respectively).
NOTE 1: The precision of external resistors and capaci
tors depend on the filter type. A lowpass and wideband
bandpass filter can be implemented with ±1% resistors
and ±5% capacitors. A narrowband bandpass filter requires
±0.1% resistors and 1% capacitors to implement a 100%
reliable manufacturing lot.
NOTE 2: In a dual supply operation, the DC266B connects
–
two Schottky diodes in series with the V
supply. The diodes
provide 100% protection for possible 2nd order oscillations when a V1 or V2
output
approaches the supply rails.
The V1 diodes can be shorted out on the board if testing
the filter circuit with an input that saturates the output
nodes does not produce any oscillations.
Re-Configuring the DC266B
Removing the default passive components (RIN1, RQ1,
R21, Z1B, RQ2, R22, Z1C, RQ3, R23, Z1A, RQ4, R24) a
variety of bandpass and lowpass LTC1562/LTC1562-2
filter circuits can be implemented.
The LTC1562 and LTC1562-2 data sheets provide filter
design guides and a variety of pre-designed filter circuits.
