Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a microphone sound source amplification circuit. Background Art

[0002] A microphone amplification circuit is a circuit used to amplify microphone signals. A microphone, as a sound sensor, is used to convert sound signals into electrical signals. Since the signals generated by the microphone are weak, an amplification circuit is needed to enhance the signals for subsequent processing or driving other devices.

[0003] Although microphone amplification circuits are very useful in many applications, they also have some disadvantages that need to be considered and solved during design and use. The following are some of the disadvantages of microphone amplification circuits:

[0004] 1. Noise introduction: The amplification circuit itself may introduce noise, especially in the preamplifier section. Since the microphone signals are weak, the amplification circuit needs to have sufficient gain to amplify the signals, but too high gain may cause the noise to be amplified as well, thus reducing the signal quality;

[0005] 2. Distortion: The amplification circuit may introduce distortion when amplifying signals, especially at higher gains. Distortion may be caused by non-linear amplifier characteristics, power supply interference or other factors during the signal processing;

[0006] 3. Feedback problems: The feedback circuit of the amplification circuit may cause stability problems, especially in the high-frequency range. The design of the feedback circuit needs to be carefully handled to ensure that the amplification circuit works stably under various working conditions;

[0007] 4. Power supply noise and interference: Power supply noise and interference may enter the amplification circuit through the power line, affecting the signal quality. Especially when the power supply is unstable or there are other electrical devices near the power line, this problem may be more significant;

[0008] 5. Power consumption and heat: The high gain of the amplifier and the operation of the operational amplifier require power consumption, which may lead to high power consumption and generate a certain amount of heat. This requires considering heat dissipation and energy efficiency issues in the design. Summary of the Invention

[0030] The input end of the DC - DC conversion circuit 7 is respectively connected to the Type - C interface 61 and the 5V - powered industrial - grade interface 62, for converting the 5V voltage output by the Type - C interface or the 5V - powered industrial - grade interface into a dual - power supply (i.e., converting a single - power supply into a dual - power supply), and using this dual - power supply to supply power to the first - stage voltage follower to the fifth - stage voltage follower, the first inverse - proportion operational amplifier circuit 41 and the second inverse - proportion operational amplifier circuit 42.
