Measurement Computing DBK Part 2 - Manual (Page 74)

The right-hand figure shows the DIP-16
component pattern typical of the 4 filter sections.
Note: “n” corresponds to “channel number.”
Pin 7 of the DIP-16 socket:
• connects to pin 8 for low-pass filtering
• connects to pin 6 for band-pass filtering
DIP-16 Component Pattern
The following table lists values of components for common corner frequencies in Butterworth filters. If
designing your own filter, software from Burr-Brown provides the component values to create the desired
filter. Note that the design math is beyond the scope of this manual.

*These pre-configured Butterworth frequency modules are available from the manufacturer.
You have the option to configure the filter sections as band-pass filters rather than low-pass filters. The
component selection program provides band-pass component values. The program also computes and
displays phase and gain characteristics of the filter sections as a function of frequency.
