In many applications, the outputs are ac coupled and dc off-
sets 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 change
f
0
and Q. When operating in Mode 3, offsets can become ex-
cessively large if R

and R

are used to make f

signifi-
cantly higher than the nominal value, especially if Q is also
high.
For example,
Figure 23
shows a second-order 60 Hz notch
filter. This circuit yields a notch with about 40 dB of attenua-
tion at 60 Hz. A notch is formed by subtracting the bandpass
output of a mode 3 configuration from the input using the un-
used side B opamp. The Q is 10 and the gain is 1 V/V in the
passband. However, f
CLK
/f
0
= 1000 to allow for a wide input
spectrum. This means that for pin 12 tied to ground (100:1
mode), R4/R2 = 100. The offset voltage at the lowpass out-
put (LP) will be about 3V. However, this is an extreme case
and the resistor ratio is usually much smaller. Where neces-
sary, the offset voltage can be adjusted by using the circuit of
Figure 24
. This allows adjustment of V
OS1
, which will have
varying effects on the different outputs as described in the
above equations. Some outputs cannot be adjusted this way
in some modes, however (V
OS(BP)
in modes 1a and 3, for
example).
