LOW VOLTAGE HEADPHONE AMPLIFIERS
Figure 36 shows a stereo headphone output amplifier for the
AD1849 16-bit SoundPort Stereo Codec device. The
pseudoreference voltage is derived from the common-mode
voltage generated internally by the AD1849, thus providing a
convenient bias for the headphone output amplifiers.

LOW NOISE MICROPHONE AMPLIFIER FOR

The OP183 is ideally suited as a low noise microphone preamp
for low voltage audio applications.
Figure 37 shows a gain of 100
stereo preamp for the AD1849 16-bit SoundPort Stereo Codec
chip. The common-mode output buffer serves as a phantom
power driver for the microphones.

3 V 50 HZ/60 HZ ACTIVE NOTCH FILTER WITH
FALSE GROUND
To process ac signals, it may be easier to use a false-ground bias
rather than the negative supply as a reference ground. This
would reject the power line frequency interference which can
often obscure low frequency physiological signals, such as heart
rates, blood pressures, EEGs, and ECGs.
Figure 38 shows a 50 Hz/60 Hz active notch filter for
eliminating line noise in patient monitoring equipment. It has
several kilohertz bandwidth and is not sensitive to false-ground
perturbations. The simple false-ground circuit shown achieves
good rejection of low frequency interference using standard off-
the-shelf components.

Figure 38. 3 V Supply 50 Hz/60 Hz Notch Filter with Pseudo Ground
Amplifier A3 biases A1 and A2 to the middle of their input
common-mode range. When operating on a 3 V supply, the
center of the common-mode range of the OP183 is 0.75 V. This
notch filter effectively squelches 60 Hz pickup at a filter Q of
0.75. To reject 50 Hz interference, change the resistors in the
twin-T section (R1 through R5) from 2.67 kΩ to 3.16 kΩ.
The filter section uses OP183 op amps in a twin-T
configuration whose frequency selectivity is very sensitive to
the relative matching of the capacitors and resistors in the twin-
T section. Mylar is the material of choice for the capacitors, and
the relative matching of the capacitors and resistors determines
the filter’s pass-band symmetry. Using 1% resistors and 5%
capacitors produces satisfactory results.
