MAX270/MAX271
Digitally-Programmed, Dual
2nd-Order Continuous Lowpass Filter
General Description
The MAX270/MAX271 are digitally-programmed, dual
second-order continuous-time lowpass filters. Their typical dynamic range of 96dB surpasses most switched
capacitor filters which require additional filtering to
remove clock noise. The MAX270/MAX271 are ideal for
anti-aliasing and DAC smoothing applications and can
be cascaded for higher-order responses.
The two filter sections are independently programmable
by either microprocessor (FP) control or pin strapping.
Cutoff frequencies in the 1kHz to 25kHz range can be
selected.
The MAX270 has an on-board, uncommitted op amp,
while the MAX271 has an internal track-and-hold (T/H).

MAX270/MAX271
Digitally-Programmed, Dual
2nd-Order Continuous Lowpass Filter
Detailed Description
Figures 1a, 1b, and 1c show the MAX270/MAX271 functional diagrams. Both the MAX270 and MAX271 contain
two independent, second-order, Sallen-Key, lowpass
filter sections, A and B to provide a frequency vs. gain
rolloff of approximately 40dB/decade. These are not
switched-capacitor filters, but have a continuous-time
design similar to discrete active filters built around op
amps. The MAX270/MAX271 eliminate clock noise and
aliasing problems which limit low-noise performance of
switched-capacitor filters; resulting dynamic range is
over 96dB.
Each filter section contains two banks of programmable
capacitors, controlled by an internal 7-bit memory, which
set filter cutoff frequencies (fC) from 1kHz to 25kHz. The
filters provide two program modes. In FP mode, cutoff
frequencies are programmed by writing 7-bit data to one
of two memory addresses (one for each filter section).
Alternately, a pin-strap programming mode programs
both filter sections simultaneously. In this mode, both
memory latches are transparent (not addressable), and
data pins D0–D6 may be pin-strapped (hard-wired) to
set a common fC for both filter sections.
The filters are trimmed at the wafer level, setting 0 for
a maximum of 0.15dB passband peaking for fC programmed to 1kHz. Maximum passband peaking at other
codes is typically less than 0.15dB. Filter Q is not userprogrammable.
The MAX270 includes an uncommitted op amp (noninverting input grounded); the MAX271 has an on-chip T/H
that tracks and holds the output of either filter section
(selectable). The held output is provided at T/H OUT. T/H
functions are controlled by writing control bits to internal
registers (in FP mode) or by control pins directly (in pinstrap mode).

The MAX270 and MAX271 provide a low quiescent current shutdown mode controlled by the SHDN pin, which
turns off internal amplifiers and disconnects all outputs,
reducing quiescent operating current to less than 15FA.
When the MAX271 is in FP mode, shutdown mode is
selected by writing control bits to memory (the SHDN
pin is disabled).

Cutoff Frequency
fC is the frequency of 3dB attenuation in the filter
response.
Table 1 shows how data pins D0–D6 allow programming
of 128 cutoff frequencies from 1kHz to 25kHz.
The equations for calculating fC from the programmed
code are as follows:
fC =
87.5
x 1kHz
87.5 − CODE
for codes 0 − 63
(fC = 1kHz to 3.57kHz)
fC =
262.5
x 1kHz
137.5 − CODE
for codes 64 − 127
(fC = 3.57kHz to 25kHz)
Maxim Integrated
where CODE is the data on pins D0–D6 (0–127). D6 is
the most significant bit (MSB).
Actual cutoff frequencies are subject to some error for
each programmed code. Highest accuracy occurs at
CODE = 0 where filters are trimmed for a 1kHz cutoff frequency. At higher codes, CODE vs. fC errors
increase; the frequency error at CODE = 127 {highest
code) remains typically within Q9.5%. This means that
the actual filter cutoff frequency, when programmed to
CODE = 127, falls between 22.63kHz and 27.38kHz.

Connecting A0 to the negative supply selects pin-strap

no timing requirements. Internal memory latches are
disabled, permitting filters A and B to be programmed
directly to fC data strapped on D0–D6. This mode disables CS and WR controls, and filters A and B are programmed to the same fC.

A low level on the SHDN pin shuts down all amplifiers
and disconnects OUTA, OUTB, and OP OUT. Current
consumption drops to less than 15µA in this mode.
Figure 2. MAX270/MAX271 Digital Timing Diagram
In FP mode, SHDN, T/H A/B, and T/H EN pins are disabled. T/H remains enabled and performs the T/H tracking/holding function.
MAX271 Control Interlace
Connecting the MODE pin to GND or V- selects the
µP mode. In this mode, addressable program memory
controls filter cutoff frequency programming and all T/H
functions, except T/H. See the Figure 2 for timing characteristics. Table 2 describes available functions:
Tying MODE to V+ selects pin-strap mode. In this mode,
both memory latches are transparent, and data on D0–D6
controls the fC of filters A and 8 directly (filters A and 8
are programmed to the same fC). Pin strap D0–D6 for
operation without FP. A0, A1, CS, and WR are disabled.

Digital Threshold Levels
All digital inputs are TTL and CMOS compatible, unless
otherwise stated. Inputs are CMOS gates with less than
1µA leakage current and 8pF capacitance loading.
Typical logic voltage thresholds are a function of the V+
supply voltage as shown below (voltages are referenced
to GND).
V+ (V)
LOGIC THRESHOLD
VOLTAGE (V)

+2.4
7
+2.3

+2.0
5
+1.75
4
+1.5
2.5
+1.0
Note: For +5V single-supply operation, where incoming logic
signals are referenced to V-, typical logic thresholds are +3.5V.
Therefore, a CMOS (rail-to-rail) logic interface is recommended.·
MAX271 Track-and-Hold
The MAX271 T/H is functionally equivalent to a switched
200pF capacitor buffered by a unity-gain amplifier (Figures
1b and 1c). When the T/H pin is driven low, the output of
filter A or filter B (whichever is selected via control interface) internally connects to the amplifier, and T/H OUT
follows the filter output. The offset at T/H OUT (±6mV max)
is the combined offset of the filter amplifier and the T/H
buffer. When T/H is pulled high, the switch disconnects
the filter signal from the T/H. The T/H capacitor holds the
stored charge, and that voltage is buffered at T/H OUT.
A low level at T/H EN disconnects T/H OUT, enabling multiplexed operation (Figure 3). T/H A/B selects between
OUTA and OUTB as the T/H input. In FP mode, the T/H
EN and T/H OUT functions are controlled by writing control bits to program memory, with T/H EN and T/H OUT
pins disabled.
See the Typical Operating Characteristics graphs for T/H
dynamic accuracy.

Filter Performance
All MAX270/MAX271 internal amplifier and output stages
for filter sections. uncommitted op amp, and T/H are
identical. The outputs are designed to drive 5kω in parallel with a maximum capacitance of 100pF. At higher load
levels, the output swing becomes asymmetric. All outputs
can be short circuited to GND for an indefinite duration.
The MAX270/MAX271 operating frequency range is
limited to approximately 2MHz by the bandwidth of the
internal amplifiers.
Filter Noise
Wideband filter noise over a 50kHz bandwidth is
12µVRMS and 38µVRMS per section for fC programmed
to 1kHz and 25kHz, respectively. A dynamic range of
over 96dB results.

Filter Input Impedance
At DC, the input impedance at INA and INB is equal to
the DC input impedance of the amplifier, which is about
5Mω. At higher frequencies, internal capacitors contribute to an effective input impedance that may fall as low
as 100kω at 25kHz.

Applications Information
single supply, the MAX270 A0 pin must be configure with
a voltage divider (Figure 4).
Power-Supply Configurations
Lowest quiescent current in shutdown mode is achieved
when A0 is either at V+ or V-.
The MAX270/MAX271 power supplies must be properly
bypassed. Best performance is achieved if V+ and V- are
bypassed to GND with 4.7µF electrolytic (tantalum is preferred) and 0.1µF ceramic capacitors in parallel. These
should be as close as possible to the chip supply pins.
Independent fC Programming Without a µP
Figure 6 shows how filter sections A and B may be programmed to different cutoff frequencies without the use
of a µP. The MAX690 µP supervisory circuit provides the
proper programming sequence when the circuit is powered up by controlling the 74HC373 data buffer and the
MAX270 addressing pin to load independent fC data for
filters A and B.
Single supplies in the range of 4.75V to 16V may be
used to power the MAX270/MAX271 as shown in Figure
4. Digital logic may be referenced to V- (system ground),
but will not maintain TTL compatibility. CMOS (rail-torail) logic recommended. For µP-mode operation with a
