The LTC1569IS8-7#PBF is a 10th order Lowpass Filter featuring linear phase and a root raised cosine amplitude response. The high selectivity of the LTC1569-7 combined with its linear phase in the passband makes it suitable for filtering both in data communications and data acquisition systems. Furthermore, its root raised cosine response offers the optimum pulse shaping for PAM data communications. The LTC1569-7 is the first sampled data filter which does not require an external clock yet its cutoff frequency can be set with a single external resistor with a typical accuracy of 3.5% or better. The external resistor programs an internal oscillator whose frequency is divided by 1, 4 or 16 prior to being applied to the filter network. Pin 5 determines the divider setting. Thus, up to three cutoff frequencies can be obtained for each external resistor value. Using various resistor values and divider settings, the cutoff frequency can be programmed over a range of seven octaves.
