ETC GP509

Class A Amplifier with
2 Independent Gain Blocks
GP509 DATA SHEET
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
• low amplifier current (typical 105 µA)
The GP509 is a Class A amplifier utilizing Gennum’s proprietary
low voltage JFET technology. It consists of a singleended, low noise inverting gain block, a Class A output
stage, and an on-chip microphone decoupling resistor.
• low noise and distortion
• 1.0 to 5 VDC operating range
• independent preamplifier
Block A typically has an open loop voltage gain of 56 dB,
with the closed loop gain set by the ratio of the feedback
resistor to the source impedance. It is recommended that
the maximum closed loop gain be 20 dB lower than the
open loop gain. All blocks of the device are internally bias
compensated, preventing any DC current flow via external
feedback resistors. Without this compensation, audible
scratchiness would be present during changes in volume
control settings.
• Class A output stage
• variable transducer current
• 4.0 kΩ microphone decoupling resistor, on-chip
STANDARD PACKAGING
• 8 pin MICROpac
• 8 pin PLID ®
The output stage of the GP509 is a Class A current drive.
It has a fixed reference voltage of typically 30 mV at pin 7
of the device. The current that flows in the transducer is the
ratio of the 30 mV reference voltage and the on-chip emitter
resistor (RE). To increase the bias current in the transducer,
simply place an external RE resistor from pin 7 to ground,
thereby decreasing the equivalent emitter resistance and
increasing the current.
