Circuit Asymmetric Pre-amplifier
This Asymmetric Pre amp
circuit is designed to amplify a signal little AF stereo line-level, and has an unbalanced input and output.
It is perfect to add that little something missing to attack a power amplifier in good condition For example, to slightly increase the output level of a portable player like “MP3″ or “FM tuner” supply power single or symmetrical (double), as desired.
The use of a single power
supply requires the presence of a voltage equal to the voltage divided by two. This half-voltage is created by the resistors R9 and R10 connected in voltage divider bridge. This half-voltage, which is a virtual ground, is stabilized by capacitor C8 and is brought on the non-inverting input of the op amp by the resistors R5 and R6 to the input signals are superimposed BF
The
capacitors C3 and C4 are used to limit the DC gain, since a capacitor acts like an open switch for DC voltages The gain is indeed defined by the resistors R1 and R2 for the left channel, and the resistors R3 and R4 for the right way. If the capacitors C3 and C4 do not “lead” not continuous, as if the resistors R1 and R3 were a very high value, as they are “disconnected” For more gain (AC, ie signals with BF), increase the value of resistors R2 and R4. For less gain, decrease in value. With the values adopted here, the gain is about 15 dB (gain of about 5, 12 dB corresponds to a Gainde 4, and 20 dB corresponding to a gain of 10).
