Multiple Feedback (MFB) is the best filter topology to use for differential low pass filters. Here’s the circuit diagram: To design this filter, a corner frequency is chosen based on harmonic content desired in the waveform. After that, we have to select a value of capacitor. The value of C1 is equal to C and C2 is equal to 2.67 […]

Effect on the system’s time-domain response is a common problem when designing lowpass filters. The system may fail to recognize significant changes in time because pushing the cuttoff frequency lower slows the step response. The circuit below is presented to solve the problem: On this circuit diagram, lower cuttoff frequency is allowed without sacrificing the step-response time. The delta (difference) […]

Crossover network for speaker can improve the quality of the sound, reducing the distortion level caused by excessive signal beyond the speaker’s frequency response. This articles describes how you can design your own crossover networks for your Hi-Fi speaker set. Both first order and second order passive filter will be explained in this article. First order crossover network will give […]

Using a special purpose single IC chip LA3600, we can build a graphic equalizer with low components count. The internal design of the chip uses transistors gyrator circuit, with connections to external capacitors to set the response. This graphic equalizer circuit is suitable for tape-recorders, radio-cassette recorders, car stereos, or home theater sound systems. You need a pair of this […]

You might be familiar with passive crossover network installed inside your speaker box, consist of inductors and capacitors. The problem with passive crossover network is that they dissipate the audio power, so it’s not environmentally friendly, contributing a little disaster of global warming. Moreover, the capacitor and the inductor in the passive crossover network contribute the distortion of the signal […]
