A user could, for example, require that the corner frequency is at least 500 kHz from the fundamental, or the user could require the corner be at least 6 GHz from the corner. A lot of it depends on the bandwidth of the design. Changing this to MHz would be likely be fine. The average user would likely specify 10's if not 100's of MHz in this field. > Anyway, the value was 32-bit even in your original patch and your DTS > example was not correct. > Was it incorrect because I chose a value less than 2^32? I believe this expands to 64 bits: + adi,lpf-margin-hz = /bits/ 64 <30000000>; + adi,hpf-margin-hz = /bits/ 64 <30000000>; Is it more appropriate to specify it like this? adi,lpf-margin-hz = <0 0x1c9c380>; > > > > >> Device allows multiple LPF/HPF values to be stored in LUT tables and it > >> actually has four independent filters.

On the first page you can see that each of the 4 filters is selected by a multiplexer/demultiplexer - the 5 options are: bypass (pass the signal) band 1, band 2, band 3, band 4. You can see this on p. 30, register 0x20. Register 0x21 selects which of corner is used on the selected band. > > > > The issue with setting the corner frequency directly is that in certain > > applications (such as software defined radios) the fundamental frequency > > is adjustable, necessitating that the corner frequencies of the filter are > > adjusted accordingly.

Let's see if we can come to an agreement on this then. I think this would be a useful feature for others. Thanks, -Sam > > Best regards, > Krzysztof
