MAX297EPA+

Overview

The MAX297EPA+ is an active filter integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It functions as an eighth-order lowpass switched-capacitor filter. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 3.6V and draws a typical operating current of 50mA. It supports data rates up to 10.7Gbps in limiting amplifier configurations, although it is primarily categorized as an active filter. The component is designed for surface mount installation and operates reliably across a temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-order filtering capabilities through an eighth-order lowpass architecture utilizing switched-capacitor technology.
• Supports operation with standard single-supply voltages suitable for portable and battery-powered applications.
• Features a compact surface-mount package design intended for automated assembly processes.

Applications

• Signal conditioning in communication systems requiring steep roll-off characteristics
• Data acquisition front-ends needing anti-aliasing filtration
• Audio processing circuits demanding precise frequency response control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and manufacturer designation carefully when sourcing this component. Confirm that the received part matches the exact package type and electrical specifications required for your design. Check for any obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes issued by the manufacturer prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an eighth-order lowpass response is necessary without external passive components. Ensure the system clock frequency aligns with the desired cutoff frequency requirements. Verify that the available supply voltage and current consumption fit within the power budget constraints of the target application environment.
