Butterworth Filter

Note:

Transformers are used to change the single ended signals to differential signal or vice versa. On this EVM, they can be populated according to the application or the experiment. The VOCM pin of the device may be connected to the center-tap of the transformer, or maybe set via an external source such

as Vref of a data converter. If the VOCM pin is not connected to an external source, it will be set at the center point of the power supply. For example, if

±5 sources are used, the VOCM level will be set to zero.
