Re: A Differential Deboo Integrator to Servo Mic and Low-Level Preamps

Using a Deboo configuration, the unavoidable resistor mismatch results in an additional parasitic resistor across the capacitor of a positive or negative high resistance. Use precision resistors or a trim if its that critical. I recall that the resistor mismatch error results in a small static DC o...

Re: A Differential Deboo Integrator to Servo Mic and Low-Level Preamps

There is a catch in the Deboo integrator, differential or single. It is sensitive to resistor mismatch. This can be important or not, depending of the application. When in need for near perfect integrators, one needs capacitors with very high insulation resistors. Using a Deboo configuration, the un...

Re: A Differential Deboo Integrator to Servo the THAT1570/1583

... Integrated Products, Electronic Design, March 18, 2002. The non-inverting Deboo integrator has a passive input pole which is important for audio servos. Other advantages of the Deboo Integrator are its non-inverting single capacitor topology. https://www.proaudiodesignforum.com/images/pdf/Consider_The_Deboo_Integrator_For_Unipolar_Noninverting_Designs.pdf ...

Re: New: A Direct-Coupled Input-Capacitorless Active Mic Preamp

... I think you can see, in the context of a mic preamp where this may be headed... Over the years I've looked at all kinds of methods to servo-correct gross differential DC offsets at the mic terminals and servo mic preamps in general. Not sure this is a complete list but here are some: ...

Re: A Low Noise Balanced Input Moving Coil Preamp Using the ZTX851

... 245 nA is pretty good. The 80 nA figure, if its really that low, is pure selection luck. Measuring the input offset current requires turning the servo off and visually averaging output Vos readings with Rterm = 0Ω and Rterm= 998Ω and then dividing the delta by the gain. Better accuracy could ...

Re: A Low Noise Balanced Input Moving Coil Preamp Using the ZTX851

Just built the second one and it's also measuring about -141 dBu Ein with a 10Ω source. I was wrong about the servo frequency: It's just under 4 Hz based upon measuring the derived high pass response. I'm kinda glad it is lower given that the PTS EQ board has a HP response around ...

Re: A Low Noise Balanced Input Moving Coil Preamp Using the ZTX851

... would be pulled out of the 11V supply. Short C7? Do you mean C6? Not sure what you mean about phase shift at 20 kHz. Both C6 and C7 are in the servo. C6 is a HF bypass for the servo control point and isn't part of the integrator time constant.
