3-Band Graphic Equalizer Circuit

Unlike the 10-band graphic equalizer in our previous circuit that use a gyrator circuit, this 3-band graphic equalizer circuit uses Baxandall topology, similar with the Baxandall tone control but with additional mid frequency control. The figure below shows the schematic diagram of the circuit. The operational amplifier employ an LF351 IC chip, but any low noise op-amp will be suitable […]

First Order Low-Pass Active Filter: The Circuit Schematic Diagram and The Design Formula

The simple low-pass filter is shown in Figure below. The filter has a 20dB/decade roll-off after its corner frequency fc. Its low-pass frequency gain (f->0) is defined by R3/R1. This allows low-frequency gains other than unity to be obtained.  R2 should be chosen equal to the parallel combination of R1 and R3 to minimize error due to bias current. LMV721/722 […]

LM1894: Single Chip Dynamic Noise Reduction System (DNR)

The LM1894 is a stereo noise reduction circuit suitable for audio playback application. The DNR system is non-complementary, meaning that it does not require encoded source signal. The system is compatible with almost all prerecorded tapes and FM broadcasts. This noise reduction system uses  psycho-acoustic masking and an adaptive bandwidth filtering to achieve 10 dB noise reduction.  This DNR would […]
