Maxim Integrated MAX7408EUA+ Product Overview

The MAX7408EUA+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-performance, 8th-order, lowpass, elliptic, switched-capacitor filter that significantly reduces the component count in digital signal processing applications. This compact, precision filter is housed in a space-saving 8-pin µMAX package, making it an ideal choice for applications where board space is at a premium.

With a fixed frequency response that is three times the clock frequency, the MAX7408EUA+ provides a sharp cutoff characteristic, a feature that is highly desirable in applications requiring the elimination of high-frequency noise and signal conditioning. The device operates from a single +5V supply, with the dynamic range and low power consumption making it suitable for battery-powered devices and other power-sensitive applications.

The MAX7408EUA+ filter's design eliminates the need for external components such as resistors and capacitors, which simplifies the design process and reduces overall system cost. The internal clock oscillator can be driven by an external clock, or it can be set to a desired frequency with an external capacitor, offering design flexibility.

Key features of the MAX7408EUA+ include:

• 8th-Order, Lowpass, Elliptic Filter Characteristics
• Fixed Frequency Response at 3 x f<sub>CLOCK
• Single +5V Supply Operation
• Low Power Consumption
• No External Components Required
