contents We study the Su-Schrieffer-Hegger model, perhaps the simplest realization of a topological insulator, in the presence of an embedded impurity superlattice. We consider the impact of the said impurity by changing the hopping amplitudes between them and their nearest neighbors in the topological boundaries and the edge state localization in the chain of atoms. Within a tight-binding approach and through a topolectrical circuit simulation, we consider three different impurity-hopping amplitudes. We found a relaxation of the condition between hopping parameters for the topologically trivial and non-trivial phase boundary and a more profound edge state localization given by the impurity position within the supercell.
