8th-Order, Lowpass, Elliptic,
Switched-Capacitor Filters
The MAX7400/MAX7403/MAX7404/MAX7407 8th-order,
lowpass, elliptic, switched-capacitor filters (SCFs) operate from a single +5V (MAX7400/MAX7403) or +3V
(MAX7404/MAX7407) supply. These devices draw 2mA
of supply current and allow corner frequencies from
1Hz to 10kHz, making them ideal for low-power antialiasing and post-DAC filtering applications. They feature a shutdown mode that reduces the supply current
to 0.2µA.
Two clocking options are available: self-clocking
(through the use of an external capacitor) or external
clocking for tighter cutoff-frequency control. In addition,
an offset adjustment pin (OS) allows for the adjustment
of the DC output level.
The MAX7400/MAX7404 provide 82dB of stopband
rejection and a sharp rolloff with a transition ratio of 1.5.
The MAX7403/MAX7407 provide a sharper rolloff with a
transition ratio of 1.2, while still delivering 60dB of stopband rejection. The fixed response of these devices
simplifies the design task to corner-frequency selection
by setting a clock frequency. The MAX7400/
MAX7403/MAX7404/MAX7407 are available in 8-pin SO
and DIP packages.

Note 1: The maximum fC is defined as the clock frequency, fCLK = 100 · fC, at which the peak SINAD drops to 68dB with a
sinusoidal input at 0.2fC.
Note 2: DC insertion gain is defined as ∆VOUT / ∆VIN.
Note 3: OS voltages above VDD - 1V saturate the input and result in a 75µA typical input leakage current.
Note 4: For MAX7400/MAX7403, fOSC (kHz) ≅ 38 · 103 / COSC (pF). For MAX7404/MAX7407, fOSC (kHz) ≅ 34 · 103 / COSC (pF).
Note 5: The input frequencies, fIN, are selected at the peaks and troughs of the frequency responses.

8th-Order, Lowpass, Elliptic,
Switched-Capacitor Filters
The MAX7400/MAX7403/MAX7404/MAX7407 family of
8th-order, lowpass filters provides sharp rolloff with
good stopband rejection. All parts operate with a
100:1 clock-to-corner frequency ratio and a 10kHz
maximum corner frequency. These devices accept a
single +5V (MAX7400/MAX7403) or +3V (MAX7404/
MAX7407) supply. Figure 1 shows the functional diagram.
Most switched-capacitor filters (SFCs) are designed
with biquadratic sections. Each section implements two
filtering poles, and the sections can be cascaded to
produce higher-order filters. The advantage of this
approach is ease of design. However, this type of
design is highly sensitive to component variations if any
section’s Q is high. The MAX7400 family uses an alternative approach, which is to emulate a passive network
using switched-capacitor integrators with summing and
scaling. The passive network can be synthesized using
CAD programs or can be found in many filter books.
Figure 2 shows a basic 8th-order ladder elliptic filter
structure.
A switched-capacitor filter that emulates a passive ladder filter retains many of the same advantages. The
component sensitivity of a passive ladder filter is low
when compared to a cascaded biquadratic design,
because each component affects the entire filter shape
rather than a single pole-zero pair. In other words, a
mismatched component in a biquadratic design has a
concentrated error on its respective poles, while the
same mismatch in a ladder filter design spreads its
error over all poles.
Elliptic Characteristics
Lowpass, elliptic filters such as the MAX7400/MAX7403/
MAX7404/MAX7407 provide the steepest possible rolloff
with frequency of the four most common filter types
(Butterworth, Bessel, Chebyshev, and Elliptic). Figure 3
shows the 8th-order elliptic filter response. The high Q
value of the poles near the passband edge combined
with the stopband zeros allows for the sharp attenuation characteristic of elliptic filters, making these
devices ideal for anti-aliasing and post-DAC filtering in
single-supply systems (see the Anti-Aliasing and PostDAC Filtering section).
In the frequency domain, the first transmission zero
causes the filter’s amplitude to drop to a minimum level.
Beyond this zero, the response rises as the frequency
increases until the next transmission zero. The stopband
begins at the stopband frequency, fS. At frequencies
above fS, the filter’s gain does not exceed the gain at fS.

Figure 2. 8th-Order Ladder Filter Network
The corner frequency, fC, is defined as the point where
the filter output attenuation falls just below the passband
ripple. The transition ratio is defined as the ratio of the
stopband frequency to the corner frequency:
r = fS / fC
The MAX7400/MAX7404 have a transition ratio of 1.5
and a typical stopband rejection of 82dB. The
MAX7403/MAX7407 have a transition ratio of 1.2 (providing the steepest rolloff) and a typical stopband
rejection of 60dB.

Clock Signal
External Clock
The MAX7400/MAX7403/MAX7404/MAX7407 SCFs
were designed for use with external clocks that have a
40% to 60% duty cycle. When using an external clock,
drive CLK with a CMOS gate powered from 0 to VDD.
Varying the rate of the external clock adjusts the filter
corner frequency:
fC = fCLK / 100
Internal Clock
When using the internal oscillator, the capacitance
(COSC) on the CLK pin determines the oscillator frequency:
K ⋅ 10 3
; COSC in pF
COSC
where K = 38 for the MAX7400/MAX7403, and K = 34
for the MAX7404/MAX7407. Since the capacitor value
is in picofarads, minimize the stray capacitance at CLK
so that it does not affect the internal oscillator frequency. Varying the rate of the internal oscillator adjusts the
filter’s corner frequency by a 100:1 clock-to-corner frequency ratio. For example, an internal oscillator frequency of 100kHz produces a nominal corner
frequency of 1kHz.
Input Impedance
vs. Clock Frequencies
The MAX7400/MAX7403/MAX7404/MAX7407’s input
impedance is effectively that of a switched-capacitor
resistor and is inversely proportional to frequency. The
10
50k
STOPBAND
fC
fOSC (kHz) =
50k
input impedance determined by the following equation
represents the average input impedance, since the
input current is not continuous. As a rule, use a driver
with an output source impedance less than 10% of the
filter’s input impedance. Estimate the input impedance
of the filter using the following formula:
1
ZIN (Ω) =
(fCLK ⋅ CIN )
where fCLK = clock frequency and CIN = 0.85pF.
Low-Power Shutdown Mode
These devices feature a shutdown mode that is activated by driving SHDN low. Placing the filter in shutdown
mode reduces the supply current to 0.2µA (typ) and
places the output of the filter into a high-impedance
state. For normal operation, drive SHDN high or connect to VDD.
Applications Information
Offset and Common-Mode
Input Adjustment
The voltage at COM sets the common-mode input voltage and is internally biased at midsupply by a resistordivider. Bypass COM with a 0.1µF capacitor and
connect OS to COM. For applications requiring offset
adjustment or DC level shifting, apply an external bias
voltage through a resistor-divider network to OS, as
shown in Figure 4. (Note: Do not leave OS unconnected.) The output voltage is represented by the following
equation:
VOUT = (VIN - VCOM) + VOS

8th-Order, Lowpass, Elliptic,
Switched-Capacitor Filters
Power Supplies
The MAX7400/MAX7403 operate from a single +5V
supply. The MAX7404/MAX7407 operate from a single
+3V supply. Bypass VDD to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor. If dual supplies are required, connect COM to the
system ground and GND to the negative supply. Figure
5 shows an example of dual-supply operation. Singlesupply and dual-supply performance are equivalent.
For single-supply or dual-supply operation, drive CLK
and SHDN from GND (V- in dual-supply operation) to
VDD. For a ±2.5V supply, use the MAX7400 or MAX7403;
for a ±1.5V supply, use MAX7404 or MAX7407. For ±5V
dual-supply applications, use the MAX291–MAX297.
Input Signal Amplitude Range
The ideal input signal range is determined by observing the voltage level at which the total harmonic
distortion plus noise (THD+N) is minimized for a given
corner frequency. The Typical Operating Characteristics show THD+N response as the input signal’s
peak-to-peak amplitude is varied. These measurements
are made with OS and COM biased at midsupply.
Anti-Aliasing and Post-DAC Filtering
When using the MAX7400/MAX7403/MAX7404/
MAX7407 for anti-aliasing or post-DAC filtering, synchronize the DAC and the filter clocks. If the clocks are
not synchronized, beat frequencies may alias into the
passband.
The high clock-to-corner frequency ratio (100:1) also
eases the requirements of pre- and post-SCF filtering.
At the input, a lowpass filter prevents the aliasing of frequencies around the clock frequency into the passband. At the output, a lowpass filter attenuates the
clock feedthrough.
A high clock-to-corner frequency ratio allows a simple
RC lowpass filter, with the cutoff frequency set above
the SCF corner frequency, to provide input anti-aliasing
and reasonable output clock attenuation.
Harmonic Distortion
Harmonic distortion arises from nonlinearities within the
filter. Such nonlinearities generate harmonics when a
pure sine wave is applied to the filter input. Table 1 lists
typical harmonic distortion values with a 10kΩ load and
an input signal of 4Vp-p (MAX7400/MAX7403) or 2Vp-p
(MAX7404/MAX7407), at TA = +25°C.
