USER GUIDE

SCC-LP Series Lowpass Filter 
Modules

The SCC-LP Series lowpass filter modules contain fourth-order 
Butterworth filter circuitry. They accept two differential input signals 
within a 

±

10 V range. A differential amplifier attenuates each signal by 

a factor of two. The output of the amplifier passes through a fourth-order 
Butterworth filter circuit.

The SCC-LP Series consists of the following modules:

SCC-LP01—25 Hz cutoff frequency

SCC-LP02—50 Hz cutoff frequency

SCC-LP03—150 Hz cutoff frequency

SCC-LP04—1 kHz cutoff frequency

Conventions

The following conventions are used in this guide:

<>

Angle brackets that contain numbers separated by an ellipsis represent 
a range of values associated with a bit or signal name—for example, 
P0.<3..0>.
