The Rx Filter is a very low noise, unity-gain, fourth-order low-pass filter. The Rx Filter cutoff frequency is
selectable between CENELEC A or CENELEC B, C, and D modes. The
Control1 Register bit location 3 setting
(CA CBCD) determines the cutoff frequency. Setting
Control1 Register bit location 3 to '0' selects the CENELEC
A band; setting
Control1 Register bit location 3 to '1' selects the CENELEC B, C, and D bands. Because the Rx
Filter is a very low noise analog filter, two external capacitors are required to properly configure the Rx Filter.
Table 3 shows the proper capacitance values for CENELEC A, B, C, and D bands. Capacitor Rx C1 is connected
between pin 24 and ground, and Rx C2 is connected between pin 23 and ground. For the capacitors shown, it is
recommended that these components be rated to withstand the full AVDD power-supply voltage

Figure 32 illustrates the recommended connections for the Rx signal chain.
(1)
For capacitor value C1, f is the desired lower cutoff frequency and RIN,PGA1 is the input resistance of Rx PGA1.
(2)
For capacitor value C2, f is the desired lower cutoff frequency and RIN,PGA2 is the input resistance of Rx PGA2.

Figure 32. Recommended Connections for Rx Signal Chain
As
Figure 33 shows, a fourth-order passive passband filter is optional but recommended for applications where
high performance is required. The external passive passband filter removes any unwanted, out-of-band signals
from the signal path, and prevents them from reaching the active internal filters within the AFE031.
