DESCRIPTION
The LF580 continuous analog filter consists of two second
order (12 dB/oct), tunable (0.2 to 10 kHz) highpass Butterworth
filter blocks.
Tracking and corner frequency of each block are controlled
by a single potentiometer.
Cascading the two blocks
together results in a single 24dB/oct high pass filter requiring
only two external 0.001
µF capacitors for the filter response.
The output noise of each filter stage is typically 5.6
µV.
Cascading the two filter blocks together will produce a
noise level which is
V
N
=
(V
N1
)
2 + (V
N2
)
2
Where V
N
is the total output noise of both filters, V
N1
and
V
N2
is the noise of each filter.
To improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the filter the LF580
should be placed after a preamplifier, provided that the
signal level does not exceed the maximum signal capability
of 50mVRMS
