LPF (6th order) with TL072C
« on: November 23, 2019, 06:03:51 pm »
Hi Guys,

I have a tricky job today. I hope you can help me.
At the moment I'm recreating an old sound module from 1992.
Unfortunately, I only have pictures of the board. But I was able to trace the circuit.
However, I miss the values ​​for the capacitors. These are SMD capacitors (0805) except C3/C4 these are 1206.
I think the circuit should be something like a LPF (6th order). At least according to the data sheet of the following surround sound ICs.

Does anyone have an idea whether the circuit makes sense so far and which values ​​are suitable for the capacitors?

Thank you for your help!

Download the LTspice and put it there..

Oh cool. I did not know that there is something like that. I will try it. Thanks for the tip.  :)

U2.2 is a textbook sallen-key third order lowpass. Canbe readily calculated by using filter tables, or just find almost any online web application for that. (

preceding amplifier is just a textbook inverting amplififer, with a small compensation/bandwidth limiting cap. Input coupling cap sets the low frequency cutoff (C1, R1).

Not sure how you came up with sixth order. No way would that be needed.

PS: Okawa-Denshi has a very good set of tools for filters: http://sim.okawa-denshi.jp/en/Fkeisan.htm

//EDIT: C3, C4 = 100nF.  Decoupling.

Below attached the .asc for LTspice. Doubleclick and it opens in LTspice. Click the runner to simulate the AC sweep.
You may select the opamps and R,C values and simulate.

imo, Yansi, thank you for your help! You helped me a lot.
I will continue to research whether I can learn more about the characteristics of the LPFs with the help of the data sheet of the subsequent sound chip.
It may then be possible to determine the values ​​of the capacitors.

Shall be pretty straightforward to determine the values, once you know the purpose of the circuit.

Input amplifier gain is -1, input impedance 30k. Output impedance is low. (always a mandatory requirement to feed the sallen-key filter).

The LP filter has a gain of 1 in the passband. Once  cutoff frequency is known (the purpose of the filter there is to do what? What part of what circuit does it serve?), be easy enough.

The LPF gets as input an audio signal.
The filtered signal from the LPF is then routed to the DSP. In between is a 10uF capacitor.

I have attached a link to the datasheet of the DSP: http://www.dtech.lv/files_ym/ym7128.pdf
Is the sampling frequency fixed or is it variable depending on the clock input of the microcontroller interface SCI?

How is the cut-off frequency determined when the DSP has a sampling frequency of 23.6kHz?

Hi,
Because of the Nyquist sampling theory, the maximum cut-off frequency would be 1/2 the sampling frequency, 23.6kHz / 2 = 11.8kHz.

I would expect the LPF to be lower than this, 6 to 8kHz.

Do you have a working one that you can measure?

Probably no, because the ADC is already oversampled, 2x.

No, I only have a picture of the board.

Based on the picture I have, I was able to identify two capacitors. One is marked A3 (1nF), the other A2(100pF).
The one with A2 is used in the output LPF of the sound IC. The other A3 in the input LPF as C5 in the above circuit.
If I interpret the capacitor values only on their optical appearance, the resulting cut-off frequency is 21685Hz.

I was looking around the internet and found a service manual from Sony. They used the same IC for Dolby Surround.
The cut-off frequency of the Sony circuit is something about 9773Hz.

Those 10kHz cutoff is probably right.  20 is not.

You can't simulate the filter without the first input RC stage. This way you are being missguided about the result.  The sallen-key filter is always designed for a zero output impedance source at the input of the filter. Hence  omitting the first RC lowpass filter pole is a mistake (I mean R3 C5 on your original schematic).

Also, resulting filter Q shall not be much above 0.7, the filter is not likely to be designed resonant (peaking on high frequencies).

Antialiasing low pass for the DSP?

it is an antialias filter.

But unlikely at 20kHZ with a 23kHz sampling rate, even though the ADC is 2x oversampled.
