# Op-Amp AC amplifier with highpass and lowpass filters
* For use with MCP6001 or similar amplifier
* Works with mV inputs centered around GND
* Few components, 0603 passives for easy soldering
![Image](images/pcb.png)
# Basic configuration
![Basic configuration](images/basic.png)
## Behaviour:
* 11x gain
* Bandpass 20Hz - 15kHz (approx, not textbook perfect!)
* Vcc 3-5V
* Makes 10mV signal centered around GND into a 110mV signal centered around 2.5V
* Output centered arround VCC/2
* To directly drive headphones you must add a DC blocking capacitor! (between OUT and your headphones, 100uF should be fine)
## Easy adjustments for people in a hurry:
* More gain? -> Increase R2 with respect to R1
* Pass higher frequencies? -> Reduce Clp or Rout (or both)
* Pass lower frequencies? -> Increase both Rb+ and Rb- (same value!)
* Lower center voltage of output? -> Increase Rb+ relative to Rb-
* Achive the opposite of any of the above? -> Do the opposite of any of the above
Note! The MCP6001 has a GBW of 1MHz. This means, if the gain is set to 100x, the amplifier will drop 3dB at 1MHz/100x = 10kHz! For very low input frequencies (<5Hz), you may need to increase C1 and C2.
# Design details
## C1, Rb+ and Rb- together form a combo bias and highpass filter
* Since the op-amp does not have a negative voltage rail, the signal can not be less than GND
* Therefore, the input must be biased - pulled towards some positive voltage
* If Rb+ = Rb-, then the bias will be VCC/2 - the signal will be centered around VCC/2
* Adjusting them relative to eachother allows you to pick a different center voltage
* The parallel resistance of Rb+ and Rb-, together with C1 forms a HIGHPASS FILTER
* Increasing the resistance lowers the pass frequency
## R1 and R2 set the gain
* Gain = R2/R1 + 1
* Gain is limited by the GBW (gain-bandwidth product) of the op-amp used
* MCP6001 has a GBW of 1MHz, so max frequency = 1MHz / gain (3db loss at that frequency)
## C2 makes the output centered around the biasing frequency
* Whatever voltage Rb+ and Rb- form, will be the center frequency of the output
* In essance, the gain for DC is 0 (since the gain resistors R1 and R2 have not DC path to GND)
* C2 just needs to be big enough, when it is big enough it does not affect filtering
## Rlp and Cout can be used for an output lowpass
* Classic low pass filter, nothing to see here
## Rlp and Cout can instead be used for an output highpass
* Just swap the position of the capacitor and resistor. It's ok, they fit.
# Soldering tips
![Soldered board](images/soldered.jpg)
* Solder under the stereo optical microscope
* Start with the Op-amp
* Then the resistors and capacitors
* Last the pin header
* If you make the pins face down, the PCB looks cool on a breadboard
* If you make the pins face up, its easy to re-work the soldering
