FSolid-state inductor
A solid state inductor uses an active element and has the
equivalent function of an inductor. The circuit shown in
Fig. 4 is used in the BA3812L. This circuit employs two
capacitors, a potentiometer, and a bias capacitor as ex-
ternal components, everything else is on the chip.
The resonance frequency (fo) and the Q of the circuit are
fixed by the values of the external capacitors.
The circuit Q is obtained from the following formula:
Q = CR1
CO RO
BA3812L
The resonance frequency is obtained from the following
formula:
1
fo (Hz) =
(R: Ω, C: F)
2π R0R1CC0
Q is the factor that determines the bandwidth of the fre-
quency. If the amount of boost and cut are the same for
the same resonance frequency, the larger the value of Q,
the narrower the resonant frequency band.
