- SUBPROGRAM BP
-
- Bandpass filters can be designed using the following techniques:
-
- (i) cascading second order sections with each section having a different
- center frequency.
-
- (ii) cascading second order IDENTICAL sections and using resistive
- feedback in the multiple feedback technique.
-
- With technique (i), a MAX260 cannot always implement a bandpass using a single
- clock input. The different center frequencies may require separate clocks for
- each filter section. ( The design procedure for MAX260 is supported by
- Program MPP ). With technique (ii) a high order bandpass needs only one
- clock along with a few external resistors. This program, BP, assumes that
- technique (ii) is used.

-
- With the MAX267 and MAX268 bandpass filters the clock ratio and Q are set
- by strapping programming pins to high or low logic levels. The clock/
- center frequency ratio can be set as follows:
-
- 100-200 for MAX267
- 41-140 for MAX268
-
-
- When a multiple feedback topology is used ( BP assumes this topology ),
- then all second order stages have the same Q and the same clock/center
- frequency ratio. The 7-bit code for Q and the 5-bit code for the clock/
- center frequency ratio are derived by the program.
-
- BP also derives a set of resistor values. The absolute values are not unique
- and others will work as well provided the same ratios are maintained. Due
- consideration must be given to output loading effects for resistor values
- less than 10Kohm.

- PROGRAM OUTPUT
-
- The resistor specs are written out on files
-
- BP1.R for first design
- BP2.R for second design, etc.
-
- Frequency response files are also written to disk and it is possible to
- have several frequency response files for each design:
-
- Design BP1.R has frequency response files BP1A, BP1B etc.
- Design BP2.R has frequency response files BP2A, BP2B etc.
- and so on for subsequent designs

- GRAPHICS
-
- During subprogram BP the user has the option of examining the frequency
- response using the FV graphics option. If the output files are to be used for
- graphics then it is advisable to use sufficient sample points to make a smooth
- curve. The minimum should be 50 and the graphics can handle at the most 200.
- If the output files are to be used as printed files then any number of points
- may be used. If the user expects to plot with a log frequency axis then best
- results will be obtained using the log option for the plotting intervals.
- The graphics option may be used later so long as the output files remain in the
- directory.
