Thanks agin! I breadboarded together a small circuit using an NE5532 op amp. It works exactly as planned. I can set an arbitrary bias point using a multiturn trimmer, and also amplify the AC component of the signal. Are there any obvious pitfalls in the circuit ? I routed a PCB which i would otherwise go ahead and etch :) R1 and R2 may have different values, especially R2 would have a much lower value, in order to make the bias point adjustments using R4 less harsh. Using R3 i can amplify the slowly varying AC to taste. I included C4 just as a matter of course to prevent any oscillations, it may have a larger value, as the meter is only usable to max ~10 Hz. Is this worth anyway ? I did not see any other way of "AC coupling" 300mHz without using enormous capacitor values...C3 - may be smaller, but i guess it needs to be several µF anyway... Regards and Thanks! |
