The MAX292EPA is a high-performance, 8th-order, lowpass, switched-capacitor filter that is produced by Maxim Integrated. This precision filter is specifically designed to provide a sharp cutoff and excellent frequency selectivity with a 0.01% clock-to-corner frequency accuracy. The device operates with a single +5V supply, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in signal processing and communications systems.

Key Features

• Filter Type: The MAX292EPA is an 8th-order, continuous-time, lowpass filter with a Bessel characteristic, which is known for its linear phase response and minimal group delay.
• Power Supply: It operates on a single +5V power supply, which simplifies power management in mixed-voltage systems.
• Frequency Range: The device offers a wide dynamic range and can handle clock frequencies up to 100kHz, allowing for a corner frequency range from 0.1Hz to 25kHz.
• Low Distortion: It provides a low total harmonic distortion (THD) which is critical for maintaining the integrity of the original signal.
• Programmable: Users can program the corner frequency through an external clock, which provides flexibility in various applications.
• Package: The MAX292EPA comes in a compact 8-pin DIP package, suitable for through-hole mounting, which is ideal for prototyping and production.
