3-Band Active Equalizer Circuit using LF353 IC + PCB

Fig. 1 - PCB 3-Band Active Equalizer Circuit with LF353 IC

This three-band active graphic equalizer circuit is an active filter set for three basic audio equalization ranges, bass, mid and treble. The circuit is based on the LF353 operational amplifier integrated circuit.

The LF353 is a two-input JFET operational amplifier with an internally compensated input offset voltage. The JFET input device provides wide bandwidth, low input bias currents and offset currents.

The equalizer circuit.

The 3-band Equalizer use a Integrated Circuits operational amplifier LF353, and the capacitors determine the frequencies, the higher their capacitance, the lower the cutoff frequencies.

The proposed equalizer is a 2-octave graphic equalizer with a 3-band circuit, the cut-off frequencies are at: 150Hz, 1kHz and 12kHz.

This circuit was assembled with LF353, but nothing prevents you from using other replacement pin compatible ICs, such as: LM1558, RC4558, LM358 etc.

 

The recommended supply voltage is between ±11V and ±15V, but note that the maximum voltage IC supports is ±18V. The IC consumption current is 6.5mA maximum, and 3.6mA average.

The IC has two internal amplifiers, we get a amplifier for each frequency and the last one for the final amplification of the entire circuit. In Figure 2 below, the pinout and configuration of the LF353 integrated circuit is shown.
