Next: NE612 mixer: input/output impedance in balanced mode?
From: sparks on 23 Nov 2008 18:11 Hi, Could someone please clarify the input and output impedance requirements when using the NE162 in a balanced configuration - that is using a balanced transformer at the input (pins1&2) and output (pins 4&5). The datasheet mentions 1.5K impedance at each input and output terminal, but does this mean a transformer would need to step up a 50 ohm unbalanced source to 3K ohms (balanced) to feed the two input pins, and vice versa to step the output down to 50 ohms. Ive seen circuits on the Net which imply the high impedance winding of both transformers was 1.5K and another circuit that implies a 3K ohm centre tapped winding where the CT goes to Vcc on the O/P transformer. All a bit confusing... thanks, JEFF |
