The MF10 consists of 2 independent and extremely easy to
use, general purpose CMOS active filter building blocks.
Each block, together with an external clock and 3 to 4 resistors, can produce various 2nd order functions. Each building
block has 3 output pins. One of the outputs can be configured to perform either an allpass, highpass or a notch function; the remaining 2 output pins perform lowpass and bandpass functions. The center frequency of the lowpass and
bandpass 2nd order functions can be either directly dependent on the clock frequency, or they can depend on both
clock frequency and external resistor ratios. The center frequency of the notch and allpass functions is directly dependent on the clock frequency, while the highpass center frequency depends on both resistor ratio and clock. Up to 4th
order functions can be performed by cascading the two 2nd
order building blocks of the MF10; higher than 4th order
functions can be obtained by cascading MF10 packages.
December 1994
Any of the classical filter configurations (such as Butterworth, Bessel, Cauer and Chebyshev) can be formed.
For pin-compatible device with improved performance refer
to LMF100 datasheet.

2.0 Modes of Operation
The MF10 is a switched capacitor (sampled data) filter. To
fully describe its transfer functions, a time domain approach
is appropriate. Since this is cumbersome, and since the
MF10 closely approximates continuous filters, the following
discussion is based on the well know frequency domain.
Each MF10 can produce a full 2nd order function. See Table I for a summary of the characteristics of the various
modes.

3.0 Applications Information
The MF10 is a general-purpose dual second-order state

ratio can be altered by

and15. The
filter Q and gain are determined by external resistors.
All of the five second-order filter types can be built using
either section of the MF10. These are illustrated in
Figures 1
through5along with their transfer functions and some related equations.
Figure 6
shows the effect of Q on the shapes
of these curves. When filter orders greater than two are
desired, two or more MF10 sections can be cascaded.
3.1 DESIGN EXAMPLE
In order to design a second-order filter section using the
MF10, we must define the necessary values of three parameters: f
, the filter section’s center frequency; H0, the pass-
0
band gain; and the filter’s Q. These are determined 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 MF10. Many filter design texts include tables that
list the characteristics (f
der filter sections needed to synthesize a given higher-order
and Q) of each of the second-or-
O
filter. For the Chebyshev filter defined above, such a table
yields the following characteristics:

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 clockto-center-frequency ratios of 50 or 100. It will be necessary

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

(Figure
using a three-terminal voltage regulator or an operational
amplifier
(Figures 18b
and
18c)
. 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 mF.
3.3 DYNAMIC CONSIDERATIONS
The maximum signal handling capability of the MF10, like
that of any active filter, is limited by the power supply voltages used. The amplifiers in the MF10 are able to swing to
within about 1V of the supplies, so the input signals must be
kept small enough that none of the outputs will exceed
these limits. If the MF10 is operating on
the outputs will clip at about 8 V

outputs. These should be consulted to determine peak circuit gains and maximum allowable signals for a given application.
3.4 OFFSET VOLTAGE
The MF10’s switched capacitor integrators have a higher
equivalent input offset voltage than would be found in a
typical continuous-time active filter integrator.

For most 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

3.5 SAMPLED DATA SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
The MF10 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 MF10’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 signal whose frequency is f
cause the system to respond as though the input frequency

frequency is much higher than the center frequency, this will
often not be necessary.
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 21)
. If necessary, these can be
‘‘smoothed’’ with a simple R –C low-pass filter at the MF10
output.
The ratio of f

a ratio of 50:1 may be better as it will result in 3 dB lower

voltages, as discussed in Section 3.4.
