Active filter board GB

You should still jumper the output back to the "-" input. Otherwise slight differences in the value of the 5k resistors might allow the output to swing all the way to a voltage rail because you have the op-amp in the open-loop mode.

Generally, you always close the loop on analog op-amp circuits in some fashion. There are exceptions but this wouldn't be one of them.

Cheers,

Dave.

Yep, that configuration is the simplest way to do it.

The objective here is to keep the output of that unused op-amp section locked exactly halfway between +V and -V applied. (Assuming you're using a bi-polar supply.) You don't want it wandering around in some indeterminate state by (possibly) differing offset currents created by slightly different value input resistors.

Off topic: Many op-amp circuits can be operated in the "open-loop" mode....but you don't usually see them in audio circuits. An example is a comparator. You want to do a simple sine-wave to square-wave conversion, it works great. 🙂

Cheers,

Dave.
 
I am starting to get a little confused 🙂

active filter 4 parts, boards etc 4-sale

Here is a project I have finally accepted that I will never get to, though I wanted to badly.

(13) active filter 4 boards
(6) PSU boards (each board includes the Pos and Neg side).
(50) OPA2134
(50) 470uF/25V
(10) 1000uF/35V
(11) 2200uF/100V

All parts, all new, pristine.

Not really sure what to charge for this but I would like to sell it all at once, so I guess bids???

The original group buy boards were very cheap because they were ordered in vast quantities, I think it was less than $5 per board IIRC. The group buy OPAs were cheap as well (I still have most of mine), again because the combined order was large (a few thousand pieces)

/U.

OK, thanks we can split this package up if we can get orders for all the boards and hopefully opa2134's. It would be nice if I didn't have to piece meal all these out at different times so maybe a mini group buy here untill all sold unless moderators thot this might not be a good idea.

Boards - $5.00 each
BB OPA2134PA - 3.00 each.

Here is a link showing the cost of one 2134's at mouser for one:

Remember that each board can be configured as a high pass/ low pass or band pass for a single channel. F1 fan, your quantity of three had me wondering what you plan. Three 2 ways?

I will be happy to send the schematics, spreadsheet and build guide. Just PM me with your email address.
 
Thanks Bob,I was in on one of the earlier group buys so have the spreadsheet and schem's, these are mostly for future consideration.Not many options for good active filter boards especially at the price.
I have used the LP and LT sections of single boards for subwoofer duties thus the odd number.
