1/2 the ts925 is an input/output rail to rail quad bic- mos operational amplifier. it is able to operate with low supply voltages (2.7v) and to drive low output loads such as 32 w . as an illustration of these features, the following technical note highlights many of the advantages of the device in a global audio application. application circuit figure 1 shows two operators (a1, a4) used in a preamplifier configuration, and the two others in a push-pull configuration driving a headset. the phantom ground is used as a common refer- ence level (v cc/2 ). the power supply is delivered from two lr6 bat- ter-ies (2x1.5v nominal). preamplifier : the operators a1 and a4 are wired with a non inverting gain of respectively : q a1# (r4/(r3+r17)) q a4# r6/r5 with the following values chosen : q r4=22k w - r3=50 w - r17=1.2k w q r6=47k w - r5=1.2k w , the gain of the preamplifier chain is thus 58db. alternatively, the gain of a1 can be adjusted by choosing a jfet transistor q1 instead of r17. this jfet voltage controlled resistor arrangement forms an automatic level control (alc) circuit, use-ful in many mic preamplifier applications. the mean rectified peak level of the output signal envelope is used to control the preamplifier gain. figure 1 : electrical schematic AN1282 application note preamplifier and speaker driver using ts925 june 2000 by f. maricourt
