Calculate IC equalizer frequencies and gain

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the frequencies and gain in an AC circuit using the BA3823LS equalizer IC, specifically how capacitors and resistors affect frequency response and gain. The user seeks equations to determine the defined frequencies and the corresponding boost or cut in gain (dB) for each frequency. They reference a datasheet that includes application examples with center frequencies and gain values but lack the necessary equations to perform these calculations. The user confirms that the capacitors in their diagram match those in the datasheet example, indicating they are relevant for their analysis. Overall, the inquiry centers on understanding the operational principles of the equalizer and how to quantify its effects.

Homework Statement: Calculate frequencies/gain in an AC circuit given capacitance and resistance
Relevant Equations: Looking for them :P

Hi! I have this diagram:

BA3823LS monolithic, five-point stereo graphic equalizer IC is used. Is there any way to calculate the frequencies (hz) that are defined and how much boost/cut gain (db) is applied in each frequency? If i'm reading this correctly the capacitors (C56, C55, ...) are used for setting the frequencies and the resistances on the side are used to cut/boost those frequencies?

I don't know anything about electronics and all the info i have is https://datasheetspdf.com/pdf-file/233435/Rohm/BA3823LS/1 where application examples of the BA3823LS are shown with the 5 center frequencies and some min/typ/max gain values.

This is not a homework, just trying to figure out what the above equalizer actually does. Thanks for your time and sorry if i'm posting this in wrong section.

Ok, about the frequencies i just noticed that the capacitors used in the example application (pdf) are the same as the diagram shown. Show they would probably be the same:

So what remains is the gain (db), how much they boost or cut those frequencies. For example those, if i'm reading this correctly:

Is there an equation to find the db based on those two values?
 

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
