Construction and Instrumentation Cautions
100dB rejections at hundreds of kilohertz require electri-
cally clean, compact construction, with good grounding
and supply decoupling, and minimal parasitic capaci-
tances in critical paths (such as Operational Filter INV
inputs). In a circuit with 5k resistances trying for 100dB
rejection at 100kHz, a stray coupling of 0.003pF around
the signal path can preclude the 100dB. (By comparison,
the stray capacitance between two adjacent pins of an IC
can be 1pF or more.) Also, high quality supply bypass
capacitors of 0.1µF near the chip provide good decoupling
from a clean, low inductance power source. But several
inches of wire (i.e., a few microhenrys of inductance) from
the power supplies, unless decoupled by substantial
capacitance (≥ 10µF) near the chip, can cause a high-Q LC
resonance in the hundreds of kHz in the chip’s supplies or
ground reference, impairing stopband rejection and other
specifications at those frequencies. In demanding filter
circuits we have often found that a compact, carefully laid
out printed circuit board with good ground plane makes a
difference of 20dB in both stopband rejection and distor-
tion performance. Highly selective circuits can even ex-
hibit these issues at frequencies well below 100kHz.
Finally, equipment to measure filter performance can itself
introduce distortion or noise floors; checking for these
limits with a wire replacing the filter is a prudent routine
procedure.
