Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around designing a preamp and active crossover using the LM833N dual op-amp, specifically focusing on adapting these circuits for a single supply configuration suitable for car audio applications. Participants explore circuit designs, share resources, and seek clarification on the implementation of a high-pass crossover circuit in a single supply context.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes their previous successful project using a split supply and expresses the need to adapt the design for a single supply.
  • Another participant mentions their experience with a basic single supply op-amp circuit that worked well, referencing the use of a voltage divider and capacitor.
  • A participant provides a link to an external resource that may contain relevant circuit designs, suggesting that the user adjust RC values to match desired frequencies.
  • There is a suggestion that the crossover circuit design should be similar to the single supply op-amp circuit, with specific connections for the input impedance resistor and output capacitor.
  • One participant expresses uncertainty about the specific active crossover circuit being referenced and notes the need for a large capacitor when using a single amplifier on a single supply.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying levels of certainty regarding the design of the crossover circuit for single supply use, with some agreeing on the general approach while others seek clarification on specific details and circuit types. The discussion remains unresolved with multiple viewpoints presented.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations in the clarity of circuit descriptions and the specific crossover design being referenced, which may affect the understanding of how to adapt the circuit for single supply use.

Hi I am making a preamp and active crossover using the lm833n dual op-amp.
I have already done a project similar to this one and both the preamp circuit and crossover circuit worked beutifuly,
although that project used a split supply and for my car audio I need a single supply.

I have already tried a single supply preamp circuit useing just the basic single supply opp amp circuit which consists of the voltage divider with a capacitor across the grounded resistor, just like the single supply circuits you can find on the tda2040 or tda2050 datasheets.
It worked fine.

I am using the high pass crossover circuit design from the datasheet.
But I am not 100% sure on how the crossover single supply circuit ia sopposed to look.

I figure it is essencially the same as the single supply op amp circuit with the imput impedence resistor connected strait to the center of the voltage divider and with a capacitor on the output.

is it the same?

I'm sorry you are not generating any responses at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us? Any new findings?

i think you have the right idea, but your description is so vague I'm afraid to say much.
it is not clear to me which of the active crossover circuits you want to use - the TDA2040 shows bridged woofer and single tweeter. For single amplifier on single supply you need to feed the speaker through a large capacitor.

Maybe you'd post a link to the circuit you want to adapt for single supply ?
