ETC LD502

Low Distortion AGC
Compression Amplifier
LD502 DATA SHEET
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
• adjustable gain from 0 to 60 dB
The LD502 is a compression (AGC) preamplifier that consists
of a single ended input inverting amplifier, with an internal
current controlled resistance connected between input and
output.
• 0.94 V DC voltage regulator on-chip
• attack time fixed at less than 1 ms
• release time adjustable from 40 to 500 ms
By using RGT (see test circuit) to vary the value of this current
controlled resistance, the amplifier gain and compression
threshold can be controlled over a range of 60 dB.
• low input referred noise 1.2 µV
• <1 % distortion at 10 mVRMS output
• operates from 1.05 to 3 VDC
The AGC current is derived from a full wave rectifier driven by
a differential amplifier. The attack time of the AGC circuit is
fixed at less than 1 ms. The release time is adjustable from
40 to 500 ms by selecting the value of an external capacitor
(C3).
STANDARD PACKAGING
• 8 pin MICROpac
• 8 pin MINIpac
Internally, a series shunt voltage regulator produces a 0.94 V
DC regulated output voltage. This provides a bias for electret
microphones and permits circuit operations over a wide range
of supply voltages, 1.05 to 3 VDC for LD502 without any
degradation of electrical performances.
• 8 pin PLID ®
• 8 pin SLT
