Maxim MAX7426/MAX7427 Switched‑Capacitor Filter Datasheet
The MAX7426/MAX7427 family provides 5th‑order elliptic low‑pass filtering for applications such as anti‑aliasing and post‑DAC filtering. They operate from a single +5 V (MAX7426) or +3 V (MAX7427) supply and draw only 0.8 mA in normal mode, dropping to 0.2 µA in shutdown.
Key features include a corner‑frequency range of 1 Hz to 12 kHz, a 100:1 clock‑to‑corner ratio, low output offset of +4 mV, 37 dB stopband rejection, and a transition ratio of 1.25. The devices are offered in 8‑pin UMAX/PDIP packages and support both self‑clocking and external clocking for precise frequency control.
