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.
