The LT1568 has been designed to make the implementa-
tion of high frequency filtering functions very easy. Inter-
nal low noise amplifiers and capacitors are configured in
a topology that requires only three external resistors to
implement a 2nd order filter stage. The two 2nd order
stages can be used independently or cascaded for simple
4th order filter functions. With two stages integrated on
the same die, the matching of the independent sections is
better than what can be achieved with separate amplifier
components.
OPERATING WITH SINGLE OR DUAL SUPPLIES
Figure 1 shows the recommended connection of an analog
ground plane with the LT1568 biased from either symmetri-
cal dual (
±V) power supplies or a single supply. Connec-
tion of the two GND pins is important to properly DC bias
the internal amplifiers. The use of a ground plane helps to
minimize noise and stray components to preserve signal
integrity and maintain frequency response accuracy.
When biasing from a dual supply, it is recommended that
a Schottky diode clamp (BAT54S) be added as shown.
These diodes ensure that improper supply voltages,
through either reverse polarity or power-up sequencing,
do not damage the LT1568.
SIMPLE FILTER IMPLEMENTATIONS

C2 = 141.3pF
These filter functions assume ideal amplifiers.
