MAX7407EPA

Overview

The MAX7407EPA is an eighth-order lowpass elliptic active filter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It utilizes switched capacitor technology to achieve a cutoff frequency of 10 kHz. The device operates on a single power supply ranging from 2.7 V to 3.6 V, with a typical operating voltage of 3 V. It is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package designed for through-hole mounting. The component functions as a standalone filter without requiring external timing components, integrating the necessary clock generation internally.

Feature Summary

• Integrates eighth-order elliptic filtering characteristics within a single monolithic IC
• Employs switched capacitor architecture eliminating the need for external capacitors or resistors
• Includes internal oscillator circuitry for precise frequency control

Applications

• Data acquisition systems requiring signal conditioning
• Industrial process control instrumentation
• Medical equipment signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm temperature range and lead-free status. Confirm availability status as distribution channels may list obsolete or limited stock items. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required package style and electrical specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-order elliptic response is required in a compact form factor. Verify that the system power supply aligns with the 2.7 V to 3.6 V operational range. Consider the 10 kHz cutoff frequency relative to the input signal bandwidth to ensure adequate attenuation of unwanted frequencies.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX7407 series of active filters. It represents a specialized integrated solution for analog signal processing tasks where discrete filter designs would consume excessive board space. The device is part of Maxim Integrated's portfolio of mixed-signal building blocks.
