FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
■
The LTC®1563-2/LTC1563-3 are a family of extremely
easy-to-use, active RC lowpass filters with rail-to-rail
inputs and outputs and low DC offset suitable for systems
with a resolution of up to 16 bits. The LTC1563-2, with a
single resistor value, gives a unity-gain Butterworth
response. The LTC1563-3, with a single resistor value,
gives a unity-gain Bessel response. The proprietary
architecture of these parts allows for a simple resistor
calculation:

where fC is the desired cutoff frequency. For many applications, this formula is all that is needed to design a filter.
By simply utilizing different valued resistors, gain and
other responses are achieved.
The LTC1563-X features a low power mode, for the lower
frequency applications, where the supply current is reduced by an order of magnitude and a near zero power
shutdown mode.
The LTC1563-Xs are available in the narrow SSOP-16
package (Same footprint as an SO-8 package).

LTC1563-3 Transfer Function Characteristics
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those value beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: The minimum cutoff frequency of the LTC1563 is arbitrarily listed
as 256Hz. The limit is arrived at by setting the maximum resistor value
limit at 10MΩ. The LTC1563 can be used with even larger valued resistors.
When using very large values of resistance careful layout and thorough
4
±1
– 0.2
–1.1
– 0.2
–1.0
ppm/°C
assembly practices are required. There may also be greater DC offset at
high temperatures when using such large valued resistors.
Note 3: The cutoff frequency temperature drift at low frequencies is as
listed. At higher cutoff frequencies (approaching 25.6kHz in low power
mode and approaching 256kHz in high speed mode) the internal
amplifier’s bandwidth can effect the cutoff frequency. At these limits the
cutoff frequency temperature drift is ±15ppm/°C.

PIN FUNCTIONS
LP (Pin 1): Low Power. The LTC1563-X has two operating
modes: Low Power and High Speed. Most applications will
use the High Speed operating mode. Some lower frequency, lower gain applications can take advantage of the
Low Power mode. When placed in the Low Power mode,
the supply current is nearly an order of magnitude lower
than the High Speed mode. Refer to the Applications
Information section for more information on the Low
Power mode.
LPA, LPB (Pins 6, 15): Lowpass Output. These pins are
the rail-to-rail outputs of an op amp. Each output is
designed to drive a nominal net load of 5kΩ and 20pF.
Refer to the Applications Information section for more
details on output loading effects.
The LTC1563-X is in the High Speed mode when the
LP input is at a logic high level or is open-circuited. A small
pull-up current source at the LP input defaults the
LTC1563-X to the High Speed mode if the pin is left open.
The part is in the Low Power mode when the pin is pulled
to a logic low level or connected to V –.
AGND (Pin 7): Analog Ground. The AGND pin is the
midpoint of an internal resistive voltage divider developing
a potential halfway between the V + and V – pins. The
equivalent series resistance is nominally 10kΩ. This serves
as an internal ground reference. Filter performance will
reflect the quality of the analog signal ground. An analog
ground plane surrounding the package is recommended.
The analog ground plane should be connected to any
digital ground at a single point. Figures 1 and 2 show the
proper connections for dual and single supply operation.
SA, SB (Pins 2, 11): Summing Pins. These pins are a
summing point for signals fed forward and backward.
Capacitance on the SA or SB pin will cause excess peaking
of the frequency response near the cutoff frequency. The
three external resistors for each section should be located
as close as possible to the summing pin to minimize this
effect. Refer to the Applications Information section for
more details.
V –, V + (Pins 8, 16): The V – and V + pins should be
bypassed with 0.1µF capacitors to an adequate analog
ground or ground plane. These capacitors should be
connected as closely as possible to the supply pins. Low
noise linear supplies are recommended. Switching supplies are not recommended as they will decrease the
filter’s dynamic range. Refer to Figures 1 and 2 for the
proper connections for dual and single supply operation.
NC (Pins 3, 5, 10, 12, 14): These pins are not connected
internally. For best performance, they should be connected to ground.
EN (Pin 9): ENABLE. When the EN input goes high or is
open-circuited, the LTC1563-X enters a shutdown state
and only junction leakage currents flow. The AGND pin, the
LPA output and the LPB output assume high impedance
states. If an input signal is applied to a complete filter
circuit while the LTC1563-X is in shutdown, some signal
will normally flow to the output through passive components around the inactive part.
INVA, INVB (Pins 4, 13): Inverting Input. Each of the INV
pins is an inverting input of an op amp. Note that the INV
pins are high impedance, sensitive nodes of the filter and
very susceptible to coupling of unintended signals.
Capacitance on the INV nodes will also affect the frequency response of the filter sections. For these reasons,
printed circuit connections to the INV pins must be kept as
short as possible.
A small internal pull-up current source at the EN input
defaults the LTC1563 to the shutdown state if the EN pin
is left floating. Therefore, the user must connect the EN pin
to V – (or a logic low) to enable the part for normal
operation.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Functional Description
The LTC1563-2/LTC1563-3 are a family of easy-to-use,
4th order lowpass filters with rail-to-rail operation. The
LTC1563-2, with a single resistor value, gives a unity-gain
filter approximating a Butterworth response. The
LTC1563-3, with a single resistor value, gives a unity-gain
filter approximating a Bessel (linear phase) response. The
proprietary architecture of these parts allows for a simple
unity-gain resistor calculation:
R = 10k(256kHz/fC)
where fC is the desired cutoff frequency. For many applications, this formula is all that is needed to design a filter.
For example, a 50kHz filter requires a 51.2k resistor. In
practice, a 51.1k resistor would be used as this is the
closest E96, 1% value available.
The LTC1563-X is constructed with two 2nd order sections. The output of the first section (section A) is simply
fed into the second section (section B). Note that section
A and section B are similar, but not identical. The parts are
designed to be simple and easy to use.
By simply utilizing different valued resistors, gain, other
transfer functions and higher cutoff frequencies are
achieved. For these applications, the resistor value calculation gets more difficult. The tables of formulas provided
later in this section make this task much easier. For best
results, design these filters using FilterCAD Version 3.0 (or
newer) or contact the Linear Technology Filter Applications group for assistance.
Cutoff Frequency (fC) and Gain Limitations
The LTC563-X has both a maximum fC limit and a minimum fC limit. The maximum fC limit (256kHz in High Speed
mode and 25.6kHz in the Low Power mode) is set by the
speed of the LTC1563-X’s op amps. At the maximum fC,
the gain is also limited to unity.
A minimum fC is dictated by the practical limitation of
reliably obtaining large valued, precision resistors. As the
desired fC decreases, the resistor value required increases.
When fC is 256Hz, the resistors are 10M. Obtaining a
reliable, precise 10M resistance between two points on a
printed circuit board is somewhat difficult. For example, a
10M resistor with only 200MΩ of stray, layout related
resistance in parallel, yields a net effective resistance of
9.52M and an error of – 5%. Note that the gain is also
limited to unity at the minimum fC.
At intermediate fC, the gain is limited by one of the two
reasons discussed above. For best results, design filters
with gain using FilterCAD Version 3 (or newer) or contact
the Linear Technology Filter Applications Group for
assistance.
While the simple formula and the tables in the applications
section deliver good approximations of the transfer functions, a more accurate response is achieved using FilterCAD.
FilterCAD calculates the resistor values using an accurate
and complex algorithm to account for parasitics and op
amp limitations. A design using FilterCAD will always yield
the best possible design. By using the FilterCAD design
tool you can also achieve filters with cutoff frequencies
beyond 256kHz. Cutoff frequencies up to 360kHz are
attainable.
Contact the Linear Technology Filter Applications Group
for a copy the FilterCAD software. FilterCAD can also be
downloaded from our website at www.linear.com.
DC Offset, Noise and Gain Considerations
The LTC1563-X is DC offset trimmed in a 2-step manner.
First, section A is trimmed for minimum DC offset. Next,
section B is trimmed to minimize the total DC offset
(section A plus section B). This method is used to give the
minimum DC offset in unity gain applications and most
higher gain applications.
For gains greater than unity, the gain should be distributed
such that most of the gain is taken in section A, with
section B at a lower gain (preferably unity). This type of
gain distribution results in the lowest noise and lowest DC
offset. For high gain, low frequency applications, all of the
gain is taken in section A, with section B set for unity-gain.
In this configuration, the noise and DC offset is dominated
by those of section A. At higher frequencies, the op amps’
finite bandwidth limits the amount of gain that section A
can reliably achieve. The gain is more evenly distributed in
this case. The noise and DC offset of section A is now
multiplied by the gain of section B. The result is slightly
higher noise and offset.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Resistive loading affects the maximum output signal swing
and signal distortion. If the output load is excessive, the
output swing is reduced and distortion is increased. All of
the output voltage swing testing on the LTC1563-X is done
with R22 = 100k and a 10k load resistor. For best undistorted
output swing, the output load resistance should be greater
than 10k.
Capacitive loading on the output reduces the stability of
the op amp. If the capacitive loading is sufficiently high,
the stability margin is decreased to the point of oscillation
at the output. Capacitive loading should be kept below
30pF. Good, tight layout techniques should be maintained
at all times. These parts should not drive long traces and
must never drive a long coaxial cable. When probing the
LTC1563-X, always use a 10x probe. Never use a 1x probe.
A standard 10x probe has a capacitance of 10pF to 15pF
while a 1x probe’s capacitance can be as high as 150pF.
The use of a 1x probe will probably cause oscillation.
For larger capacitive loads, a series isolation resistor can
be used between the part and the capacitive load. If the
load is too great, a buffer must be used.
Layout Precautions
The LTC1563-X is an active RC filter. The response of the
filter is determined by the on-chip capacitors and the
external resistors. Any external, stray capacitance in parallel with an on-chip capacitor, or to an AC ground, can
alter the transfer function.
Capacitance to an AC ground is the most likely problem.
Capacitance on the LPA or LPB pins does not affect the
transfer function but does affect the stability of the op
amps. Capacitance on the INVA and INVB pins will affect
the transfer function somewhat and will also affect the
stability of the op amps. Capacitance on the SA and SB
pins alters the transfer function of the filter. These pins are
the most sensitive to stray capacitance. Stray capacitance
on these pins results in peaking of the frequency response
To minimize the effects of parasitic layout capacitance, all
of the resistors for section A should be placed as close as
possible to the SA pin. Place the R31 resistor first so that
it is as close as possible to the SA pin on one end and as
close as possible to the INVA pin on the other end. Use the
same strategy for the layout of section B, keeping all of the
resistors as close as possible to the SB node and first
placing R32 between the SB and INVB pins. It is also best
if the signal routing and resistors are on the same layer as
the part without any vias in the signal path.
Figure 1 illustrates a good layout using the LTC1563-X
with surface mount 0805 size resistors. An even tighter
layout is possible with smaller resistors.

Single Pole Sections and Odd Order Filters
The LTC1563 is configured to naturally form even ordered
filters (2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th). With a little bit of work,
single pole sections and odd order filters are easily achieved.
To form a single pole section you simply use the op amp,
the on-chip C1 capacitor and two external resistors as
shown in Figure 2. This gives an inverting section with the
gain set by the R2-R1 ratio and the pole set by the R2-C1
time constant. You can use this pole with a 2nd order
section to form a noninverting gain 3rd order filter or as a
stand alone inverting gain single pole filter.
Figure 3 illustrates another way of making odd order
filters. The R1 input resistor is split into two parts with an
additional capacitor connected to ground in between the
resistors. This “TEE” network forms a single real pole. RB1

useful in forming dual 3rd order filters and 5th order filters

You can also use the TEE network in both sections of the
part to make a 6th order filter. This 6th order filter does not
conform exactly to the textbook responses. Textbook
responses (Butterworth, Bessel, Chebyshev etc.) all have
three complex pole pairs. This filter has two complex pole
pairs and two real poles. The textbook response always
has one section with a low Q value between 0.5 and 0.6. By
replacing this low Q section with two real poles (two real
poles are the same mathematically as a complex pole pair
with a Q of 0.5) and tweaking the Q of the other two
complex pole pair sections you end up with a filter that is
indistinguishable from the textbook filter. The Typical
Applications section illustrates a 100kHz, 6th order pseudoButterworth filter. FilterCAD is a valuable tool for custom
filter design and tweaking textbook responses.
What To Do with an Unused Section
If the LTC1563 is used as a 2nd or 3rd order filter, one of
the sections is not used. Do not leave this section unconnected. If the section is left unconnected, the output is left
to float and oscillation may occur. The unused section
should be connected as shown in Figure 4 with the INV pin
connected to the LP pin and the S pin left open.

The fO and Q values listed above can be entered in
FilterCAD’s Enhanced Design window as a custom response filter. After entering the coefficients, FilterCAD will
produce a schematic of the circuit. The procedure is as
follows:
1. After starting FilterCAD, select the Enhanced Design
window.
2. Select the Custom Response and set the custom FC to
1Hz.
3. In the Coefficients table, go to the Type column and click
on the types listed and set the column with two LP types
and two LP1 types. This sets up a template of a 6th order
filter with two 2nd order lowpass sections and two 1st
order lowpass sections.
4. Enter the fO and Q coefficients as listed above. For a
Butterworth filter, use the same coefficients as the
example circuit above except set all of the fO to 1Hz.
5. Set the custom FC to the desired cutoff frequency. This
will automatically multiply all of the fO coefficients. You
have now finished the design of the filter and you can
click on the frequency response or step response
buttons to verify the filter’s response.
6. Click on the Implement button to go on to the filter
implementation stage.
7. In the Enhanced Implement window, click on the Active
RC button to choose the LTC1563-2 part. You are now
done with the filter’s implementation. Click on the
schematic button to view the resulting circuit.

To design these wideband bandpass filters with the
LTC1563, start with a 4th order lowpass filter and add two
highpass poles with the input, AC coupling capacitors. The
lowpass cutoff frequency and highpass pole frequencies
depend on the specific application. Some experimentation
of lowpass and highpass frequencies is required to achieve
the desired response. FilterCAD does not directly support
this configuration. Use the custom design window in
FilterCAD get the desired response and then use FilterCAD
to give the schematic for the lowpass portion of the filter.
Calculate the two highpass poles using the following
formulae:
1
1
fO (HPA ) =
, fO (HPB ) =
2 • π • R11• C11
2 • π • R12 • C12
The design process is as follows:
1. After starting FilterCAD, select the Enhanced Design
window.
2. Choose a 4th order Bessel or Butterworth lowpass filter
response and set the cutoff frequency to the high
frequency corner of the desired bandpass.
3. Click on the custom response button. This copies the
lowpass coefficients into the custom design Coefficients table.
4. In the Coefficients table, the first two rows are the LP
Type with the fO and Q as previously defined. Go to the
third and fourth rows and click on the Type column
(currently a hyphen is in this space). Change the Type
of each of these rows to type HP1. This sets up a
template of a 6th order filter with two 2nd order lowpass
sections and two 1st order highpass sections.
5. Change the frequency of the highpass (HP1) poles to
get the desired frequency response.
6. You may have to perform this loop several times before
you close in on the correct response.
7. Once you have reached a satisfactory response, note
the highpass pole frequencies. The HP1 highpass poles
must now be removed from the Custom design coefficients table. After removing the highpass poles, click on
the Implement button to go on to the filter implementation stage.
8. In the Enhanced Implement window, click on the Active
RC button and choose the LTC1563-2 part. Click on the
schematic button to view the resulting circuit.
9. You now have the schematic for the 4th order lowpass
part of the design. Now calculate the capacitor values
from the following formulae:
C11 =
1
1
, C12 =
2 • π • R11• fO (HPA )
2 • π • R12 • fO (HPB )
