Abstract

See full text

A battery-powered miniature acoustical transducer system for a hearing aid, including a microphone and an amplifier, has a combination filter and voltage regulator incorporated in its power supply circuit; the filter/regulator includes a field-effect transistor having its drain and source electrodes interposed in series between one battery terminal and a first power terminal of the amplifier, a resistor connecting the source and gate electrodes of the FET, a transistor having its emitter and collector interposed in series between the other power terminal of the amplifier and the gate electrode of the FET, and a junction diode connected from the FET source electrode to the transistor base, the diode junction and the base-emitter junction of the transistor both having highly non-linear voltage/current characteristics.
