title: A programmable rapid roll-off low pass filter for evoked potential and EEG recording.
abstract: The RF5609 rapid roll-off (-75 dB/octave) low pass filter has many features that make it ideal for evoked potential and EEG recording. The RF5609 is inexpensive, programmable, and can be turned off momentarily to eliminate large amplitude stimulus artifacts. Removal of these artifacts prevents ringing and hence allows a more rapid roll-off than can be easily achieved with conventional active analogue low pass filters such as Butterworth filter. Furthermore, the RF5609 low pass filter provides rapid roll-off and artifact suppression without the time or computing power requirements of digital low pass filters.
