1.0 MF6 Application Hints
The MF6 is comprised of a non-inverting unity gain lowpass
sixth order Butterworth switched capacitor filter section and
two undedicated CMOS Op-Amps. The switched capacitor
topology makes the cutoff frequency (where the gain drops
3.01 dB below the DC gain) a direct ratio (100:1 or 50:1) of
the clock frequency supplied to the lowpass filter. Internal in-
tegrator time constants set the filter’s cutoff frequency. The
resistive element of these integrators is actually a capacitor
which is “switched” at the clock frequency (for a detailed dis-
cussion see Input Impedance Section). Varying the clock fre-
quency changes the value of this resistive element and thus
the time constant of the integrators. The clock to cutoff fre-
quency ratio (f

back capacitors in the integrators. The higher the clock to
cutoff frequency ratio (or the sampling rate) the closer this
approximation is to the theoretical Butterworth response.
The MF6 is available in f
100:1 (MF6-100).
1.1 CLOCK INPUTS
The MF6 has a Schmitt-trigger inverting buffer which can be
used to construct a simple R/C oscillator. The oscillator’s fre-
quency is dependent on the buffer’s threshold levels as well
as on the resistor/capacitor tolerance (see Figure 1 ).
