Hello!
Happy 4th of July to my American colleagues!
I have this circuit:
How does it work?
I initially thought that the first opamp is a microphone pre-amplifier in an inverting configuration and the second one is used to invert the signal back. But when I looked at it again, the second opamp is configured as a voltage follower. Why is that?
I think that C6 and C7 are just used as a bypass capacitor for any noise coming from VCC. R20 and C5 are just high pass filters that will roll off any signal below 8Hz. R15 and R17 are used to biased the input at half of VCC for single supply operation.
Is that the right assumption?
I also have a feeling that if the first opamp is indeed a pre-amp, then it's gain is frequency dependent. But how do I find out the equation for it? Is it just (-R13)/(reactance of C5) ?
Any other insights into this circuit?
Thanks!
