APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Theory of Operation (Refer to Block Diagram)
The LTC6603 features two matched fi lter channels, each
containing gain control and lowpass fi lter networks that
are controlled by a single control block and clocked by
a single clock generator. The gain and cutoff frequency
can be separately programmed. The two channels are
not independent, i.e. if the gain is set to 24dB then both
channels have a gain of 24dB. The fi lter can be clocked
with an external clock source, or using the internal oscil-
lator. A resistor connected to the R
currents for the fi lter networks and the internal oscillator
frequency (unless driven by an external clock). Altering the
clock frequency changes the fi lter bandwidth. This allows
the fi lters to be “tuned” to many different bandwidths.
Pin Programmable Interface
As shown in Figure 1, connecting SER to V+
fi lter to be directly controlled through the pin program-
mable control lines GAIN1, GAIN0, LPF1 and LPF0. The
GAIN0(D0) pin is bidirectional (input in pin programmable
control mode, output in serial mode). In pin programmable
control mode, the voltage at GAIN0(D0) cannot exceed V+
otherwise, large currents can be injected to V+
parasitic diodes (see Figure 2). Connecting a 10k resistor
at the GAIN0(D0) pin (see Figure 1) is recommended for
current limiting, to less than 10mA. SER has an internal

Serial Interface
Connecting SER to ground allows the fi lter to be controlled
through the SPI serial interface. When CS is low, the serial
data on SDI is shifted into an 8-bit shift-register on the
rising edge of the clock (SCLK), with the MSB transferred
fi rst (see Figure 3). Serial data on SDO is shifted out on
the clock’s falling edge. A high CS will load the 8 bits of
the shift-register into an 8-bit D-latch, which is the serial
control register. The clock is disabled internally when
CS is pulled high. Note: SCLK must be low before CS is
pulled low to avoid an extra internal clock pulse. SDO is
always active in serial mode (never tri-stated) and cannot
be “wire-or’ed” to other SPI outputs. In addition, SDO is
not forced to zero when CS is pulled high.
An LTC6603 may be daisy chained with other LTC6603s
or other devices having serial interfaces. Daisy chain-
ing is accomplished by connecting the SDO of the lead
chip to the SDI of the next chip, while SCLK and CS
remain common to all chips in the daisy chain. The se-
rial data is clocked to all the chips then the CS signal
is pulled high to update all of them simultaneously.
Figure 4 shows an example of two LTC6603s in a daisy
chained SPI confi guration.
