Programmable Low Pass Filter
The WEA50175LPF18CH322G is a leapfrog low pass filter with programmable cut-off frequency.
Overview
The WEA50175LPF18CH322G is a leapfrog low pass filter with programmable cut-off frequency. The filter response is 3rd order Chebyschev. The low pass filter cutoff frequency can be selected from 40 MHz to 175 MHz. The resistors and the capacitors are programmable (6-bit and 4-bit respectively) and can be calibrated to minimize the low pass cutoff frequency accuracy due to process variation.
Key features
- Power Supply : 1.8 V
- Programmable Cutoff (typical): 40 to 175 MHz
- LPF rejection @ 350MHz: 31 dB
- Consumption : 8.9 mW
- Gain : 0 dB
- Area: 685 um x 120 um
- Process : 22FDX
- Metal Option : 19

Understanding cascaded integrator-comb filters
The previously obscure CIC filter is now vital to many high-volume wireless communications tasks and equipment. Using CIC filters can cut costs, improve reliability, and help performance. Here's a primer to get you started.
Revisiting the analogue video decoder: Brushing up on your comb filters
With such a large number of video decoders in the market it might seem an unnecessary indulgence to spend time looking again at the design of this fundamental but apparently obsolete building block, and certainly new designs are not appearing on the market and haven't done so for three or four years.
