OPA2209: Setup opam

Part Number: OPA2209

Hello everyone,

I really want to know what capacitor c11 has.

  • Hello Lai, 

    THat is an AC coupling cap.At DC, this circuit has a gain of 1, but as the cap shorts out it rises to 32. The high pass pole is at 0.16Hz. When simulating, be sure to include the self resonance L of that cap as it will eventually give a LP pole as well as its inductance takes over.

    C11 and R9 will form a low pass filter circuit

  • Hi Lai,

    Michael provided a very complete explanation. Actually, C11 and R9 provide the high-pass response and provide a pole that breaks at 0.16 Hz. The ac gain is down -3 dB from the maximum 30.1 dB had in the passband. You can see this from the simulation shown below.

    Do you need anymore assistance with this circuit? If not, please go ahead and close this e2e inquiry.

    Can you tell me what the simulation is?

    Thanks.
