Hi Team,
I have a customer that believes he has encountered an error in our Filter Pro tool. The differential outputs of his filter are shorted in the attached report:
"I tested a few of the filter designs yesterday, and they work as long as you don’t short the outputs together, so it appears the problem is only with the schematic implementation.
While this just gave me a laugh, it could prove too much of an intelligence test for some users.
Also, my tests of the web bench filter program (it’s a beta release still in development) did not go well, with several crashes of my computer and an inability to synthesize filters that should have been easy while claiming they required more than 10 poles. I’ll try it again in a few months.
Just to show you I’m not just a complainer, I want to congratulate TI on how well the SD24 sections of the MSP430f67xx work"
I'm wondering what could cause the differential outputs to be shorted in the schematic, and is there a way to avoid this during schematic implementation?
Thanks,
Adam Hoover
