CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The NE570 compandor building blocks, as shown in the block
diagram, are a full-wave rectifier, a variable gain cell, an operational
amplifier and a bias system. The arrangement of these blocks in the
IC result in a circuit which can perform well with few external
components, yet can be adapted to many diverse applications.
COMPRESSOR INPUT LEVEL OR EXPANDOR OUTPUT LEVEL (dBm)
The typical performance characteristics illustration shows the basic
input-output transfer curve for basic compressor or expander
circuits.
The full-wave rectifier rectifies the input current which flows from the
rectifier input, to an internal summing node which is biased at VREF.
The rectified current is averaged on an external filter capacitor tied
to the CRECT terminal, and the average value of the input current
controls the gain of the variable gain cell. The gain will thus be
proportional to the average value of the input signal for
capacitively-coupled voltage inputs as shown in the following
equation. Note that for capacitively-coupled inputs there is no offset
voltage capable of producing a gain error. The only error will come
from the bias current of the rectifier (supplied internally) which is
less than 0.1 µA.

The speed with which gain changes to follow changes in input signal
levels is determined by the rectifier filter capacitor. A small capacitor
will yield rapid response but will not fully filter low frequency signals.
Any ripple on the gain control signal will modulate the signal passing
through the variable gain cell. In an expander or compressor
application, this would lead to third harmonic distortion, so there is a
trade-off to be made between fast attack and decay times and
distortion. For step changes in amplitude, the change in gain with
time is shown by this equation.

The variable gain cell is a current-in, current-out device with the ratio
IOUT/IIN controlled by the rectifier. IIN is the current which flows from
the ∆G input to an internal summing node biased at VREF. The
following equation applies for capacitively-coupled inputs. The
output current, IOUT, is fed to the summing node of the op amp.

A compensation scheme built into the ∆G cell compensates for
temperature and cancels out odd harmonic distortion. The only
distortion which remains is even harmonics, and they exist only
because of internal offset voltages. The THD trim terminal provides
a means for nulling the internal offsets for low distortion operation.

INTRODUCTION
BASIC CIRCUIT HOOK-UP AND OPERATION
Much interest has been expressed in high performance electronic
gain control circuits. For non-critical applications, an integrated
circuit operational transconductance amplifier can be used, but
when high-performance is required, one has to resort to complex
discrete circuitry with many expensive, well-matched components.
This paper describes an inexpensive integrated circuit, the NE570
Compandor, which offers a pair of high performance gain control
circuits featuring low distortion (<0.1 %), high signal-to-noise ratio
(90 dB), and wide dynamic range (110 dB).
Figure 6 shows the block diagram of one half of the chip, (there are
two identical channels on the IC). The full-wave averaging rectifier
provides a gain control current, IG, for the variable gain (∆G) cell.
The output of the ∆G cell is a current which is fed to the summing
node of the operational amplifier. Resistors are provided to establish
circuit gain and set the output DC bias.

The circuit is intended for use in single power supply systems, so
the internal summing nodes must be biased at some voltage above
ground. An internal band gap voltage reference provides a very
stable, low noise 1.8 V reference denoted VREF. The non-inverting
input of the op amp is tied to VREF, and the summing nodes of the
rectifier and ∆G cell (located at the right of R1 and R2) have the
same potential. The THD_TRIM pin is also at the VREF potential.
Figure 7 shows how the circuit is hooked up to realize an expander.
The input signal, VIN, is applied to the inputs of both the rectifier and
the ∆G cell. When the input signal drops by 6 dB, the gain control
current will drop by a factor of 2, and so the gain will drop 6 dB. The
output level at VOUT will thus drop 12 dB, giving us the desired
2-to-1 expansion.

The significant circuits in a compressor or expander are the rectifier
and the gain control element. The phone system requires a simple
full-wave averaging rectifier with good accuracy, since the rectifier
accuracy determines the (input) output level tracking accuracy. The
gain cell determines the distortion and noise characteristics, and the
phone system specifications here are very loose. These specs could
have been met with a simple operational transconductance
multiplier, or OTA, but the gain of an OTA is proportional to
temperature and this is very undesirable. Therefore, a linearized
transconductance multiplier was designed which is insensitive to
temperature and offers low noise and low distortion performance.
These features make the circuit useful in audio and data systems as
well as in telecommunications systems.

The NE570 Compandor was originally designed to satisfy the
requirements of the telephone system. When several telephone
channels are multiplexed onto a common line, the resulting
signal-to-noise ratio is poor and companding is used to allow a wider
dynamic range to be passed through the channel. Figure 5
graphically shows what a compandor can do for the signal-to-noise
ratio of a restricted dynamic range channel. The input level range of
+20 dB to –80 dB is shown undergoing a 2-to-1 compression where
a 2 dB input level change is compressed into a 1 dB output level
change by the compressor. The original 100 dB of dynamic range is
thus compressed to a 50 dB range for transmission through a
restricted dynamic range channel. A complementary expansion on
the receiving end restores the original signal levels and reduces the
channel noise by as much as 45 dB.

Figure 8 shows the hook-up for a compressor. This is essentially an
expander placed in the feedback loop of the op amp. The ∆G cell is
set-up to provide AC feedback only, so a separate DC feedback
loop is provided by the two RDC and CDC. The values of RDC will
determine the DC bias at the output of the op amp. The output will

CIRCUIT DETAILS—RECTIFIER
Figure 9 shows the concept behind the full-wave averaging rectifier.
The input current to the summing node of the op amp, VINR1, is
supplied by the output of the op amp. If we can mirror the op amp
output current into a unipolar current, we will have an ideal rectifier.
The output current is averaged by R5, CR, which set the averaging
time constant, and then mirrored with a gain of 2 to become IG, the
gain control current.

Figure 10 shows the rectifier circuit in more detail. The op amp is a
one-stage op amp, biased so that only one output device is on at a
time. The non-inverting input, (the base of Q1), which is shown
grounded, is actually tied to the internal 1.8 V VREF. The inverting
input is tied to the op amp output, (the emitters of Q5 and Q6), and
the input summing resistor R1. The single diode between the bases
of Q5 and Q6 assures that only one device is on at a time. To detect
the output current of the op amp, we simply use the collector currents
of the output devices Q5 and Q6. Q6 will conduct when the input
swings positive and Q5 conducts when the input swings negative.
The collector currents will be in error by the α of Q5 or Q6 on negative
or positive signal swings, respectively. ICs such as this have typical
NPN βs of 200 and PNP βs of 40. The α’s of 0.995 and 0.975 will
produce errors of 0.5% on negative swings and 2.5% on positive
swings. The 1.5% average of these errors yields a mere 0.13 dB
gain error.

At very low input signal levels the bias current of Q2, (typically
50 nA), will become significant as it must be supplied by Q5.
Another low level error can be caused by DC coupling into the
rectifier. If an offset voltage exists between the VIN input pin and the
base of Q2, an error current of VOS/R1 will be generated. A mere
1 mV of offset will cause an input current of 100 nA, which will
produce twice the error of the input bias current. For highest
accuracy, the rectifier should be coupled into capacitively. At high
input levels the β of the PNP Q6 will begin to suffer, and there will be
an increasing error until the circuit saturates. Saturation can be
avoided by limiting the current into the rectifier input to 250 µA. If
necessary, an external resistor may be placed in series with R1 to
limit the current to this value. Figure 11 shows the rectifier accuracy
versys input level at a frequency of 1 kHz.
VARIABLE GAIN CELL
Figure 13 is a diagram of the variable gain cell. This is a linearized
two-quadrant transconductance multiplier. Q1, Q2 and the op amp
provide a predistorted drive signal for the gain control pair, Q3 and
Q4. The gain is controlled by IG and a current mirror provides the
output current.
The op amp maintains the base and collector of Q1 at ground
potential (VREF) by controlling the base of Q2. The input current IIN
(= VIN/R2) is thus forced to flow through Q1 along with the current
I1, so IC1 = I1 + IIN. Since I2 has been set at twice the value of I1, the
current through Q2 is:
I2 – (I1 + IIN) = I1 – IIN = IC2.
The op amp has thus forced a linear current swing between Q1 and
Q2 by providing the proper drive to the base of Q2. This drive signal
will be linear for small signals, but very non-linear for large signals,
since it is compensating for the non-linearity of the differential pair,
Q1 and Q2, under large signal conditions.

At very high frequencies, the response of the rectifier will fall off. The
roll-off will be more pronounced at lower input levels due to the
increasing amount of gain required to switch between Q5 or Q6
conducting. The rectifier frequency response for input levels of
0 dBm, –20 dBm, and –40 dBm is shown in Figure 12. The response
at all three levels is flat to well above the audio range.

The key to the circuit is that this same predistorted drive signal is
applied to the gain control pair, Q3 and Q4. When two differential
pairs of transistors have the same signal applied, their collector
current ratios will be identical regardless of the magnitude of the
currents. This gives us:

This equation is linear and temperature-insensitive, but it assumes
ideal transistors.
If the transistors are not perfectly matched, a parabolic, non-linearity
is generated, which results in second harmonic distortion. Figure 14
gives an indication of the magnitude of the distortion caused by a
given input level and offset voltage. The distortion is linearly
proportional to the magnitude of the offset and the input level.
Saturation of the gain cell occurs at a +8dBm level. At a nominal
operating level of 0dBm, a 1mV offset will yield 0.34% of second
harmonic distortion. Most circuits are somewhat better than this,

At high gains, the signal to noise ratio is 90 dB, and the total
dynamic range from maximum signal to minimum noise is 110 dB.
which means our overall offsets are typically about mV. The
distortion is not affected by the magnitude of the gain control
current, and it does not increase as the gain is changed. This
second harmonic distortion could be eliminated by making perfect
transistors, but since that would be difficult, we have had to resort to
other methods. A trim pin has been provided to allow trimming of the
internal offsets to zero, which effectively eliminated second
harmonic distortion. Figure 15 shows the simple trim network
required.

Control signal feedthrough is generated in the gain cell by imperfect
device matching and mismatches in the current sources, I1 and I2.
When no input signal is present, changing IG will cause a small
output signal. The distortion trim is effective in nulling out any control
signal feedthrough, but in general, the null for minimum feedthrough
will be different than the null in distortion. The control signal
feedthrough can be trimmed independently of distortion by tying a
current source to the ∆G input pin. This effectively trims I1. Figure 17
shows such a trim network.

OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER
RESISTORS
The main op amp shown in the chip block diagram is equivalent to a
741 with a 1 MHz bandwidth. Figure 18 shows the basic circuit. Split
collectors are used in the input pair to reduce gM, so that a small
compensation capacitor of just 10 pF may be used. The output
stage, although capable of output currents in excess of 20 mA, is
biased for a low quiescent current to conserve power. When driving
heavy loads, this leads to a small amount of crossover distortion.
Inspection of the gain equations in Figures 7 and 8 will show that the
basic compressor and expander circuit gains may be set entirely by
resistor ratios and the internal voltage reference. Thus, any form of
resistors that match well would suffice for these simple hook-ups,
and absolute accuracy and temperature coefficient would be of no
importance. However, as one starts to modify the gain equation with
external resistors, the internal resistor accuracy and tempco become
very significant. Figure 19 shows the effects of temperature on the
diffused resistors which are normally used in integrated circuits, and
the ion-implanted resistors which are used in this circuit. Over the
critical 0 °C to +70 °C temperature range, there is a 10-to-1
improvement in drift from a 5% change for the diffused resistors, to a
0.5% change for the implemented resistors. The implanted resistors
have another advantage in that they can be made 1/7 the size of the
diffused resistors due to the higher resistivity. This saves a
significant amount of chip area.
