Where to get a simple datasheet? for LMF90
 

This is a simple switched capacitor filter made by National. Would
somebody send me a copy, or at least provide a URL that HAS it!!! and not
datasheet or alldata crap! If AppNote available that too please.

I just went through the most frustrating 45 minutes trying to get a simple
!@#$#@!#$ data sheet! Google search shows 8,000+ pages of either alldata,
or datasheet, ok so tried going to both, all I got there were ads for
unrelated chips and ?? couldn't even tell, kept asking me to download a
pdf viewer!! what?!

So thought I'd go to the source [which I usually do first] went to
http://www.national.com which of course took me to http://www.ti.com
because TI bought out National and TI's website is usually pretty easy to
navigate so did a search for LMF90 only to come up with nothing found.

I'd like a URL ending in .pdf so I can click on it and select 'download
the contents of the link', instead of going off to some jave infected
website that either hangs, delays, my system or wants to give me videos,
and no where in sight is a place to get a copy of the datasheet. Even the
'view' data sheet resulted in nothing happening!! arrrggg! ...temporary
end of rant.

So, anybody have a copy, or know a 'good' URL?

Have you got the part number right? National's first generation filter
like that had some other prefix (I can't remember what, I'd know the minute I
saw it). I'm thinking "MFC" but I don't know why. It didn't start
with National's traditional prefix, "LM". Maybe later they used some other
prefix, but I'd double check.

THANK YOU !!!!

At first I couldn't figure out the significance of the giant offer to
download a spec for a PIC, but below that was indeed a URL that yielded
the .pdf ending so I could download. Got it thanks

....now any AppNotes floating around?

National's classic switched-cap filter was the MF10, metal-gate CMOS. There was
a later poly-gate version, can't remember the part number.

Overall, switched-cap filters weren't all that great. OK for some apps, but they
were really noisy, and aliased anything available, including power supply crud.

I once designed a double-conversion superhet FSK modem full of MF10s, for
Reuters' landline newswire service. Sold a few before PCs and the Internet made
the classic newswire thing obsolete.

The LMF100. Nice part if you needed to do anything fancy and low SNR
was okay. I used it to make a SSB mixer once, and it worked great.

The clock-tunable thing was pretty convenient for some jobs, especially
back when tight-tolerance capacitors were expensive.

Yeah, the modem did any channel, and any one of three baud rate/bandwidths, with
just dip switches. The older stuff had plug-in LC filters.

The app note mentioning the LMF90 was AN779, but they edited it out of
AN 779A. The old version is at

And there's a real datasheet at
http://www.datasheetarchive.com/dlma...DSA-424155.pdf

Since the parasites have taken over the search engine ecosystem,
Datasheetarchive's built-in search works better than using Google to
search DSA.

Yes, that's what I was remembering.

It's one of those things that were transitory, like charge coupled delay
lines. Fill in a gap, relatively late, that soon could be done by
converting to digital and doing the work there.

Actually, I only really needed the DataSheet and any AppNotes. but is ok,
got the data sheet and an AppNote.
