C5
0.1
μF
Works with R1 and R2 to attenuate low frequency transients which could
disturb control path operation.
C6

μF
Works with input resistance of pin 6 to form part of control path frequency
weighting.
C8
0.1

weighting.
C10

Circuit Operation
The LM1894 has two signal paths, a main signal path and a bandwidth control path. The main path is an audio
low pass filter comprised of a gm block with a variable current, and an op amp configured as an integrator. As
seen in Figure 11, DC feedback constrains the low frequency gain to AV = 1. Above the cutoff frequency of the filter, the output decreases at
6 dB/oct due to the action of the 0.0033 μF capacitor.
The purpose of the control paths is to generate a bandwidth control signal which replicates the ear's sensitivity to
noise in the presence of a tone. A single control path is used for both channels to keep the stereo image from
wandering. This is done by adding the right and left channels together in the summing amplifier of
Figure 11. The
R1, R2 resistor divider adjusts the incoming noise level to open slightly the bandwidth of the low pass filter.
Control path gain is about 60 dB and is set by the gain amplifier and peak detector gain. This large gain is
needed to ensure the low pass filter bandwidth can be opened by very low noise floors. The capacitors between
