SBOSA00B December 2019 – August 2020 OPA1637
PRODUCTION DATA
Professional dynamic microphones typically feature low output impedance to minimize noise coupling on the microphone cable. Interfacing the microphone with high-impedance circuitry typically requires the use of an impedance conversion stage, often done with a transformer or discrete amplifiers. The flexibility of the OPA1637 allows the device to be configured with a low differential input impedance and 20 dB of gain, simplifying the impedance conversion and gain stage into a single device. Figure 9-10 shows an example of a differential, low input impedance, microphone level voltage (10 mV to 100 mV) amplifier to a line-level amplitude signal that also has adjustable dc common-mode shift capability. This design example shows how the OPA1637 makes a great choice for driving an ADC class-D amplifier.
