  • OPEX-1: a High Performance Class a Opamp for Audio
    2013 OPEX-1: a High Performance Class A Opamp for Audio A low component count Lin topology VFA opamp for audio applications, featuring a matched pair JFET input stage, class A output stage and Two Pole Compensation (TPC). This design features very low distortion: 10V peak into a 600 Ω load is below 1 ppm. The OL UGF is 13 MHz, and the slew rate in excess of 100 V/us. Other than the LSK389C matched JFET pair, the OPEX-1 uses readily available components, and fits on a 6 cm x 4 cm DSTHP PCB. The construction cost for 4-6 pcs is $15 each Andrew C. Russell 9/1/2013 A High Performance Discrete Opamp for Audio Applications OPEX-1: a High Performance Discrete Opamp for Audio Applications. Sometime around 2009 or 2010, I took an LM4562 and biased into class A, then added a discrete class A buffer stage inside the global feedback loop to produce a high performance class A buffer– you can read about it here, and look at the distortion results in Fig.1 below. In the write up, I focused on the fact that IC opamps always feature class AB output stages, and we know that when driving a heavy load (so, 600 Ω or so in the context of this discussion), they will transition into class B, and the result will be harmonics both in the output signal, and on the supply rails. My effort allowed me to swing a 600 Ω load 20V pk-pk at about 2ppm at 20 kHz, and at 2 or 3 V pk-pk, distortion was about 1.5~2ppm - this measurement result in actuality limited by the performance of the AP Sys272 which has a distortion floor of -114 dB ref 1V into 600 Ω (See Fig 1).

  • Headphone Amplifier for Guitar
    Daniil Danilov Headphone Amplifier For Guitar Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Engineering Electronics Degree Programme Bachelor’s Thesis 20 April 2020 Author Daniil Danilov Title Headphone Amplifier For Guitar Number of Pages 51 pages + 1 appendices Date 20 April 2020 Degree Bachelor of Engineering Degree Programme Electronics Professional Major Instructors Matti Fischer, Senior lecturer Tommi Otsavaara, Chief Technology Officer The goal of this project was to design an audio amplifier device in the guitar pedal form factor, which will be used for demonstration purposes of the “Darkglass electronics Oy” Ex- hibitor stand on Winter NAMM 2020 convention in Anaheim, USA. The second aim was to learn and understand research, development, and production processes, how from an idea and general prerequisites create a product, which will meet those requirements, and how various nuances affect those processes and final results. The thesis consists of demonstrating device development sequence as well as device circuit analysis from simulations to board measurements. Simulations were made in LTspice soft- ware. Schematics, PCB design and production documents were created in Altium Designer software. Measurements were made using APx515 Audio Analyzer and oscilloscope. As a result, the device was made on time. It met the requirements, and the project is con- sidered as completed. The device is able to produce a maximum output power of 1 Watt, with a THD+N of 1%.

  • Small Signal Audio Design
    Small Signal Audio Design This much expanded second edition of Small Signal Audio Design is the essential and unique guide to the design of high-quality analogue circuitry for preamplifiers, mixing consoles, and many other signal-processing devices. You will learn to use inexpensive and readily available parts to obtain state-of-the-art performance in all the vital parameters of noise, distortion, crosstalk, etc. This practical handbook provides an extensive repertoire of circuit blocks from which almost any type of audio system can be built. Essential points of theory that determine practical performance are lucidly and thoroughly explained, with the mathematics at an absolute minimum. Virtually every page reveals nuggets of specialized knowledge not found elsewhere. Douglas’ background in design for manufacture ensures he keeps a wary eye on the cost of things. Learn how to: • Make amplifiers with apparently impossibly low noise • Design discrete circuitry that can handle enormous signals with vanishingly low distortion • Use ordinary bipolar transistors to make amplifiers with an input impedance of more than 50 Megohms • Transform the performance of low-cost-opamps, and how to make filters with very low noise and distortion • Make incredibly accurate volume controls • Make a huge variety of audio equalisers • Make magnetic cartridge preamplifiers that have noise so low it is limited by basic physics • Sum, switch, clip, compress, and route audio signals effectively • Build reliable power-supplies, with many practical ways to keep both the noise and the cost down This much enlarged second edition is packed with new information, including completely new chapters on: • Opamps for low voltages (down to 3.3 V) • Moving-magnet inputs: archival and non-standard equalisation, for 78s etc.
