PIN DESCRIPTIONS
LP(1,20), BP(2,19), N/AP/HP(3,18)The second order lowpass, bandpass and notch/allpass/highpass outputs.
These outputs can typically sink 1.5 mA and source 3 mA. Each output typically swings to within 1V of
each supply.
INV(4,17) The inverting input of the summing op-amp of each filter. These are high impedance inputs, but the
non-inverting input is internally tied to AGND, making INV
A
and INV
B
behave like summing junctions (low
impedance, current inputs).
S1(5,16) S1 is a signal input pin used in the allpass filter configurations (see modes 4 and 5). The pin should be
driven with a source impedance of less than 1 kΩ. If S1 is not driven with a signal it should be tied to
AGND (mid-supply).
S
A/B
(6) This pin activates a switch that connects one of the inputs of each filter's second summer to either AGND
(S
A/B
tied to V
−
) or to the lowpass (LP) output (S
A/B
tied to V
+
). This offers the flexibility needed for
configuring the filter in its various modes of operation.

(8) Analog positive supply and digital positive supply. These pins are internally connected through the
IC substrate and therefore V
A

and V
D
+
should be derived from the same power supply source. They have
been brought out separately so they can be bypassed by separate capacitors, if desired. They can be
externally tied together and bypassed by a single capacitor.

apply here.
LSh(9) Level shift pin; it accommodates various clock levels with dual or single supply operation. With dual ±5V
supplies, the MF10-N can be driven with CMOS clock levels (±5V) and the LSh pin should be tied to the
system ground. If the same supplies as above are used but only TTL clock levels, derived from 0V to +5V
supply, are available, the LSh pin should be tied to the system ground. For single supply operation (0V
and +10V) the V
A
−
, V
D
−
pins should be connected to the system ground, the AGND pin should be biased at
+5V and the LSh pin should also be tied to the system ground for TTL clock levels. LSh should be biased
at +5V for CMOS clock levels in 10V single-supply applications.
CLKA(10), CLKB(11)Clock inputs for each switched capacitor filter building block. They should both be of the
same level (TTL or CMOS). The level shift (LSh) pin description discusses how to accommodate their
levels. The duty cycle of the clock should be close to 50% especially when clock frequencies above 200
kHz are used. This allows the maximum time for the internal op-amps to settle, which yields optimum filter
operation.
50/100/CL(12) By tying this pin high a 50:1 clock-to-filter-center-frequency ratio is obtained. Tying this pin at mid-
supplies (i.e. analog ground with dual supplies) allows the filter to operate at a 100:1 clock-to-center-
frequency ratio. When the pin is tied low (i.e., negative supply with dual supplies), a simple current limiting
circuit is triggered to limit the overall supply current down to about 2.5 mA. The filtering action is then
aborted.
AGND(15) This is the analog ground pin. This pin should be connected to the system ground for dual supply
operation or biased to mid-supply for single supply operation. For a further discussion of mid-supply
biasing techniques see the Applications Information. For optimum filter performance a “clean” ground must
be provided.
Definition of Terms
f
CLK
: the frequency of the external clock signal applied to pin 10 or 11.
f
O
: center frequency of the second order function complex pole pair. f
O
is measured at the bandpass outputs of
the MF10-N, and is the frequency of maximum bandpass gain (Figure 17).
f
notch
: the frequency of minimum (ideally zero) gain at the notch outputs.
f
z
: the center frequency of the second order complex zero pair, if any. If f
z
is different from f
O
and if Q
Z
is high, it
can be observed as the frequency of a notch at the allpass output (Figure 26).
Q: “quality factor” of the 2nd order filter. Q is measured at the bandpass outputs of the MF10-N and is equal to f
O
divided by the −3 dB bandwidth of the 2nd order bandpass filter (Figure 17). The value of Q determines the
shape of the 2nd order filter responses as shown in Figure 22.
