Programmable Low-Pass Filter Automated Characterization System

This document describes an automated characterization system designed for 5th-order Bessel-type low-pass filters, focusing on programmable cutoff frequency adjustable between 1 MHz and 40 MHz with 512 settings. It outlines the testing procedure, including the measurement of gain, cutoff frequency, and frequency characteristics. Results from testing various chips are summarized, highlighting the performance and reliability of the filters. The system simplifies the characterization process, providing essential insights into filter behavior and ensuring accurate measurements.
