signals. In noise-sensitive applications, a ratio of 100:1 will
result in 3 dB lower output noise for the same filter configu-
ration.
The accuracy of the f

ratio is dependent on the value of
Q. This is illustrated in the curves under the heading “Typical
Performance Characteristics”. As Q is changed, the true
value of the ratio changes as well. Unless the Q is low, the
error in f

will be small. If the error is too large for a spe-
cific application, use a mode that allows adjustment of the ra-
tio with external resistors.
