1 Hz to 102.4 kHz
8-Bit Programmable
824 Series
2" x 2"
4-Pole Filters
Description
The 824 Series are digitally programmable low pass
and high pass active filters that are tunable over a
256:1 frequency range. 824 filters are available
with any one of five standard factory-set tuning
ranges up to 102.4 kHz. These units contain 8
CMOS logic inputs .
All 824 Series models are convenient, low profile,
easy to use fully finished filters which require no ex-
ternal components or adjustments. They feature low
harmonic distortion, and near theoretical phase and
amplitude characteristics. 824 filters operate from
non-critical 12 to 18 Vdc power supplies, have a
10 k
W (min.) input impedance, a 10 W (max.) output.
Features/Benefits:
Compact 2" x 2" design minimizes board space
requirements.
Digitally programmable corner frequency allows
selecting cut-off frequencies specific to each appli-
cation.
Plug-in ready-to-use, reducing engineering de-
sign and manufacturing cycle time.
Factory-set tuning range, no external clocks or
adjustments needed.
Broad range of transfer characteristics and corner
frequencies to meet a wide range of applications.
Applications
Anti-alias filtering
Data acquisition systems
Communication systems and electronics
Medical electronics equipment and research
Aerospace, navigation and sonar applications
Sound and vibration testing
Real and compressed time data analysis
Noise elimination
Signal reconstruction

Digital Tuning Characteristics
The digital tuning interface circuits are a parallel set of eight (8)
4053 CMOS switches which accept CMOS compatible inputs
for the eight tuning bits (D
