Hi again,
I once again have a question, the standard configuration of C5 on the PPA V2 uses a 1 uF capacitor, this gives a corner frequency of 16 kHz. I've would guess that a lower corner frequency is better, say I use a 2,2 uF capacitor instead of 1 uF, this will give me a corner frequency lower than 16 kHz.
I know that I could instead raise the value of R8, but as tangents guide says: "Theoretically you could instead raise the value of R8, but as its value rises, so also does the current-modulated rail ripple due to the op-amp’s varying current draw. We decided during development that 10 Ω was the best trade-off here."
Is there a formula for calculating the corner frequency?
Regards
