Power supply decoupling capacitors (100 nF ceramic or polyester + 10 µF Aluminum)
should be placed as near as possible to the device (common design practice).
The LPY510AL allows band limiting the output rate response through the use of an external
low pass filter (suggested) and/or high pass filter (optional) in addition to the embedded low
pass filter (f_t = 140 Hz).
4xOUTX and 4xOUTZ are respectively OUTX and OUTZ amplified outputs lines, internally
buffered to ensure low output impedance.
If external high pass or low pass filtering is not applied it is mandatory to short-circuit
respectively pad 4 to pad 5 and pad 9 to pad 10 when amplified outputs are used.
When only outputs are used (OUTX/Z), it is suggested to set pads 5 and 9 to fixed reference
voltage (Vref).
When high pass filter is applied to not amplified output (OUTx), it is recommended to buffer
the line before entering ADC for performance optimization.
The LPY510AL IC includes a PLL (phase locked loop) circuit to synchronize driving and
sensing interfaces. Capacitors and resistors must be added at FILTVDD and VCONT pins
(as shown in Figure 3) to implement a low-pass filter.
