An example of Digital Stethoscope Amplifier is explained in this circuit analysis video. The Stethoscope's microphone picks up patient's signal (for example heart beats or bowel movements). This analog signal is initially weak and noisy and hence it needs to be properly enhanced and amplified (aka signal conditional or signal interfacing). An example of the microphone signal amplification and noise removal is explained in this video using dual op amp stage amplifier and bandpass filter. In order to achieve proper signal conditioning, very low drift (or zero drift) FET-input op amps from Texas Instruments or Analog Devices are highly recommended to make sure op amp input voltage drift is limited to sub micro volt level with minimal thermal drift. This video explains How the circuit works and computes the overall voltage transfer function of the Stethoscope Amplifier for the microphone signal at input.

You offer an appropriate consideration of the circuit. You explain it very well; kudos! What type of pickup sensor is typically used for this application? If it is some type of audio microphone, then it bears mentioning that the type of microphone used would greatly influence the design of the circuit... For example, an Electret microphone uses a different circuit than a Dynamic microphone. At least that is what I know of audio microphone circuit design. Admittedly, I am no expert. I am not fault finding, here. It is just a thought for anyone considering actually building your design. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise, time and effort to teach us.

@t1d100 Thank you! My pleasure! You have a good practical point and I appreciate sharing your thoughts. I am assuming an Electret microphone in this Stethoscope Amplifier Circuit example. More Sensors Circuits Videos are posted in ru-vid.com/group/PLrwXF7N522y4c7c-8KBjrwd7IyaZfWxyt video playlist.

Very nice example. Why are those 2 stages with different upper frequency? Does it have some practical advantage? And what is the 27pF input capacitor for?

@STEMprof 23 дня назад

Thank you! Good questions. This design method is not unique. There are many alternative techniques and methods to design these amplifiers. One reason for the higher bandwidth of the second amplifier stage is avoiding further magnitude drop at the upper passband edge of the first stage. As for the 27pf capacitor, it provides more stability while also shorting very high frequency noise components at the input of the circuit.

what is the benefit of the 27pf capacitor ?

Good question, it provides more stability while also short very high frequency noise components at the input of the circuit. See more sensor circuit examples in this video collection ru-vid.com/group/PLrwXF7N522y7Ut9bm8TXAOhIWqL__FGlj. Thanks for watching.

Didnt you miss a pole in the origin somewhere?

@STEMprof 23 дня назад

Thanks for watching and your interest in this circuit. As briefly explained in 3:40 and onward, there are large DC decoupling capacitors at the input of the circuit that effectively kills DC indicating that we dominantly have a zero at origin in the circuit. Here is another audio amplifier example: Electric Guitar Amplifier to XLR Audio Signal ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X4y8cwZdGEk.html that might be interesting and helpful.
