Differential attenuation plots for the F4810 and F2410 filters
in the extended frequency range of 20 kHz-100 MHz are
shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, respectively, and can be seen to
be flat (around 55-60 dB) from 0.35 MHz to 40 MHz.
Fig. 2: F4810 - Differential mode attenuation, 0.2-100MHz.
Source and load resistanc es are 50 Ω. Vertical scale:
10dB/div, with zero level marked by arrow. No load, 25ºC
Fig. 4 shows Common mode attenuation with 50 Ω source
and load. The attenuation is the same for both filters, and
depends on the value of external Y-capacitors, connected
between input pins and fram e or a reference ground.
Fig. 3: F2410 - Differential mode attenuation, 0.2-100MHz.
Source and load resistance 50 Ω. Vertical scale: 10dB/div,
with zero level marked by arrow. No load, 25ºC
All filter attenuation measurements shown are made with
standard 50 Ω source and load resistances. Due to system
impedances, differences in actual system attenuation val-
ues for the filter/system can be significant after integration
into the user application. Therefore, the listed values
should be used only for compari so n of different filters.
Fig. 4: F4810/F2410 - Common Mode attenuation, 0.2-
100MHz. Source and lo ad resistances are 50 Ω. Two
0.1uF Y-caps to common line. Vertical sca le: 10dB/div,
with zero dB level marked by arrow .
Thermal Considerations
Because of low series internal DC resistance, the
F4810/F2410 filters generally do not require airflow and/or
derating to ambient temperatures up to 85˚C, if placed and
interconnected as describe d below.
Good thermal design is consistent with appropriate place-
ment to gain additional heat exchange through the I/O pins
to the system board. For high temperature operation in low
airflow environments, use of 1-2 oz copper for the external
connection pads and provision for some extra copper at all
four I/O pins is encouraged. Thermal Derating data shown
were taken on special thermal board with each input and
output pin connected to 0.5 sq. in pad of 2 oz copper.
To check filter thermal characteristic in an actual system
environment, attach a thermocouple to the top of differen-
tial inductor, L2; it is the INDUCTOR closest to OUT+ pin.
The maximum temperature at this test point should not
exceed 120˚C, and a minimum of 5-10˚C headroom is
suggested for better reliability.
