MSGEQ7 Product Details
MSGEQ7 Description
The MSGEQ7 is a seven-band graphic equalizer chip that can be used to analyze audio signals and divide them into seven frequency bands. It's specifically designed for audio spectrum analysis and is often used in projects involving music visualization, sound-reactive LED displays, and similar applications. The seven band graphic equalizer IC is a CMOS chip that divides the audio spectrum into seven bands, 63Hz, 160Hz, 400Hz, 1kHz, 2.5kHz, 6.25kHz and 16kHz. The seven frequencies are peak detected and multiplexed to the output to provide a DC representation of the amplitude of each band.
No external components are needed to select the filter respons es. Only an off chip resistor and capacitor are needed to select the on chip clock oscillator frequency. The filter center frequencies track this frequency.
In addition to the coupling and decoupling capacitors, there is no requirement for any additional external components. The chip's power supply range is flexible, spanning from 2.7 to 5.5 volts, with optimal performance achieved at 5 volts. Remarkably, this device boasts an extremely low quiescent current, typically consuming less than 1mA, making it an ideal choice for portable audio gadgets. The multiplexor operation is efficiently managed through a reset and strobe mechanism, enabling multiplexor readout with just two pins. Furthermore, it's worth noting that the multiplexor readout rate also regulates the decay time, resulting in a 10% decay per read, eliminating the necessity for extra external pins to perform this task. For more details about the circuit diagram can check the MSGEQ7 datasheet.
