capacitor. Fig.4.23 shows
the
"Peak"
response and
the
possible
options
with various
time
constants
(r).

4.12. VOLTAGE SUPPLY
The
voltage supply
is
designed as a
DC
to
DC
converter and delivers
both
stabilised and unstabilised voltages
to
the
amplifier circuits. A
correct
volt-
age can be supplied from
any
battery
voltage
between
3 and
4.6
V. For
the
internal reference voltage, a square wave generator
of
frequency 2 kHz
is
included.

Fig.4.25. Polarization Voltage supply
circuit
The
polarization voltage for
the
microphone
is
produced by voltage
doublers
and
is
regulated with a Zener diode as shown in Fig.4.25.
The
temperature
coefficient
of
the
Zener
diode
is
approx. 100
mV
/°C
or
about
0.05%/°C.
The
correction due
to
change
in
temperature
is
seen
in
Fig.4.26.
