Monolithic switched-capacitor lowpass filters, although they offer precise frequency responses, cannot usually be used for DC accurate applications because of their prohibitive DC offsets and poor gain linearity. The LTC1062, however, is quite different from currently available lowpass switched-capacitor filters because it uses an external (R, C) to isolate the IC from the input-signal DC path and to provide anti-aliasing for incoming ...
