Schmitt-trigger threshold voltage levels can change signifi-

cantly causing the R/C oscillator’s frequency to vary greatly

from part to part.

used to drive the CLK R input of the MF6. This input is TTL

logic level compatible and also presents a very light load to

L. Sh tied to system ground. The logic level is programmed

by the voltage applied to level shift (L. Sh) pin (See the Pin

description for L. Sh pin).

1.2 POWER SUPPLY BIASING

The MF6 can be biased from a single supply or dual split

supplies. The split supply mode shown in

Figure 2 and Fig-

ure 3 is the most flexible and easiest to implement. As dis-

of TTL or CMOS clock logic levels.

Figure 4 shows two

schemes for single supply biasing. In this mode only CMOS

clock logic levels can be used.

1.3 OFFSET ADJUST

The VosADJ pin is used in adjusting the output offset level of

the filter section. If this pin is not used it must be tied to the

analog ground (AGND) level, either mid-supply for single

ended supply operation or ground for split supply operation.

This pin sets the zero reference for the output of the filter.

The implementation of this pin can be seen in

Figure 5.In

Figure 5a, DC offset is adjusted using a potentiometer; in

Figure 5b, the Op-Amp integrator circuit keeps the average

DC output level at AGND. The circuit in

Figure 5b is therefore

appropriate only for AC-coupled signals and signals biased

at AGND.

1.4 INPUT IMPEDANCE

The MF6 lowpass filter input (FILTER IN pin) is not a high im-

pedance buffer input. This input is a switched capacitor re-

sistor equivalent, and its effective impedance is inversely

proportional to the clock frequency. The equivalent circuit of

the input to the filter can be seen in

Figure 6. The input ca-

pacitor charges to the input voltage (V

the clock period, during the second half the charge is trans-

ferred to the feedback capacitor. The total transfer of charge

in one clock cycle is therefore Q = C

is defined as the flow of charge per unit time the average in-

put current becomes
