Power supply bypassing

Correct power supply bypassing is very important for optimizing performance in high-

frequency ranges. Bypass capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the IC pins to

improve high-frequency bypassing. A capacitor greater than 1 µF is necessary to minimize

the distortion. For better quality bypassing, a capacitor of 10 nF is added using the same

implementation conditions. Bypass capacitors must be incorporated for both the negative

and the positive supply.

Circuit for power supply bypassing

Single power supply

The TS616 can operate with power supplies ranging from 12 V to 5 V. The power supply can

either be single (12 V or 5 V referenced to ground), or dual (such as ±6 V and ±2.5 V).

In the event that a single supply system is used, new biasing is necessary to assume a

load for a 12 V supply and from 0.45 V to 3.8 V on 10

Ω load for a 5 V supply.

DC component of the signal at this value. Several options are possible to provide this bias

supply, such as a virtual ground using an operational amplifier or a two-resistance divider

(which is the cheapest solution). A high resistance value is required to limit the current

consumption. On the other hand, the current must be high enough to bias the non-inverting

input of the amplifier. If we consider this bias current (30 µA max.) as the 1% of the current

through the resistance divider to keep a stable mid-supply, two resistances of 2.2 k

Ω can be

used in the case of a 12 V power supply and two resistances of 820

Ω can be used in the

case of a 5 V power supply.

The input provides a high-pass filter with a break frequency below 10 Hz which is necessary
