Overview
The AAF-1 is a multi-channel anti-alias
low-pass filter board designed for front-end signal conditioning in
PC-based or stand-alone 12-bit A/D conversion systems. It protects and
filters 2, 4, 6, or 8 differential analog channels. Each 2-channel pair
is available with any one of 8-pole Cauer, Bessel, Butterworth, high-speed
Cauer, or high-speed linear phase filter characteristics. The Cauer
filter provides rapid attenuation of unwanted high frequencies (120
dB/octave), while only minimally affecting frequencies in the passband
(less than 0.15dB ripple).
The cutoff frequency of the AAF-1 is set
by an on-board potentiometer, which sets the same cutoff frequency for
all filters on the board. Optionally, the cutoff frequency can be controlled
with an external clock source for tracking filter applications, very
low cutoff frequencies, or other special purposes.
