Low Power Audio Amplifier Design
Table
| Component | Reference/Example | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Input Coupling Capacitor | C1 | Blocks DC from the Bluetooth module’s audio output, passing only the AC signal. |
| Audio Op-Amp (Non-Inverting) | MCP6002 | Amplifies the audio signal (using a non-inverting configuration for low noise and simplicity). |
| Feedback Resistor (Upper) | R1 | Sets the gain in the non-inverting feedback network. |
| Feedback Resistor (Lower) | R2 | Complements [R1] to determine the amplifier's gain. |
| Supply Decoupling Capacitor | C2 | Filters power supply noise to ensure stable op-amp operation. |
| Output Coupling Capacitor | C3 | Blocks DC at the output while passing the amplified audio signal to the headphone driver. |
| Volume Control (Optional) | Potentiometer | Provides an adjustable signal level (can be placed in series with the input or in the feedback loop). |
| Ground | Ground | Acts as the reference potential for all components in this stage. |
