6.2. Balanced/Unbalanced Input Stage
In
order
to
eliminate
annoying
RF
interference, balanced
inp
ut
(as
well
as unbalanced) s
ta
ges
ate
iocorporalCd
in
the 0-75. U2A
and
U2B
are
the
balanced input op amps
which provide
the
correct phase
inv
ersion used
in
balanced input design.
As
per definition of a balanced
input
s
ignaJ
,
an
input
from
a balanced
lin
e is
fed
10
the
inverting
(-)
and non-inverting (+) inputs
of
U2A
(pins 2
and
3). This
has
the
effect of driving the inputs J
80
degrees out
of
phase.
1be
output signal
will
now
be
unbalanced
and in phase
with
the
signal
applied
10
pin
3,
but without any annoying noise
lIlal
may
ha
ve
been
present at
the
input.
Th
e reason
for
this
is
because
unlik
e
the
aud
io input signal,
the
noise signal produced
(by
so
me
c:\temal source)
will
appear
on
both s
id

will
cancel each other at

Thc sma

6.4. Signal Translator
The opcmtion of
the
D-75
front-end circuitry
(IC
op
amp
through QI02) is to basically provide voltage
amplification. However,
lh
e signailfan
slatOf
transistor
(Q
I
OO)
provides
no
vo
lta
ge
amplification itself, but
rather converts the ground referenced input signal to a
s
ignal
with
a reference to the negative supply. The result
is
hi
ghcr
vo
lta
ge
swing capabilities
from
QI02 (Final
Voltage Amplifier).
