GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SSM2164 contains four independent voltage controlled
amplifiers (VCAs) in a single package. High performance
(100 dB dynamic range, 0.02% THD) is provided at a very low
cost-per-VCA, resulting in excellent value for cost sensitive gain
control applications. Each VCA offers current input and output
for maximum design flexibility, and a ground referenced
–33 mV/dB control port.
All channels are closely matched to within 0.07 dB at unity gain,
and 0.24 dB at 40 dB of attenuation. A 120 dB gain range is
possible.
A single resistor tailors operation between full Class A and AB
modes. The pinout allows upgrading of SSM2024 designs with
minimal additional circuitry.
The SSM2164 will operate over a wide supply voltage range of
± 4 V to ± 18 V. Available in 16-pin P-DIP and SOIC packages,
the device is guaranteed for operation over the extended
industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Circuit Description

The SSM2164 is a quad Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA)
with 120 dB of gain control range. Each VCA is a current-in,
current-out device with a separate –33 mV/dB voltage input
control port. The class of operation (either Class A or Class
AB) is set by a single external resistor allowing optimization of
the distortion versus noise tradeoff for a particular application.
The four independent VCAs in a single 16-pin package make
the SSM2164 ideal for applications where multiple volume
control elements are needed.

Figure 23. Simplified Schematic (One Channel)
Figure 21. Supply Current vs. RBIAS
The simplified schematic in Figure 23 shows the basic structure
of one of the four VCAs in the device. The gain core is comprised of the matched differential pairs Q1-Q4 and the current
mirrors of Q5, Q6 and Q7, Q8. The current input pin, IIN, is
connected to the collectors of Q1 and Q7, and the difference in
current between these two transistors is equivalent to IIN. For
example, if 100 µA is flowing into the input, Q1’s collector
current will be 100 µA higher than Q7’s collector current.

Varying the control voltage VC, steers the signal current from
one side of each differential pair to the other, resulting in either
gain or attenuation. For example, a positive voltage on VC
steers more current through Q1 and Q4 and decreases the
current in Q2 and Q3. The current output pin, IOUT, is connected to the collector of Q3 and the current mirror (Q6) from
Q2. With less current flowing through these two transistors, less
current is available at the output. Thus, a positive VC attenuates
the input and a negative VC amplifies the input. The VCA has
unity gain for a control voltage of 0.0 V where the signal current
is divided equally between the gain core differential pairs.

The MODE pin allows the setting of the quiescent current in
the gain core of the VCA to trade off the SSM2164’s THD and
noise performance to an optimal level for a particular application. Higher current through the core results in lower distortion

dynamic processing applications, where faster attack or decay
times may be needed.
but higher noise, and the opposite is true for less current. The
increased noise is due to higher current noise in the gain core
transistors as their operating current is increased. THD has the
opposite relationship to collector current. The lower distortion
is due to the decrease in the gain core transistors’ emitter
impedance as their operating current increases.
+5V
This classical tradeoff between THD and noise in VCAs is
usually expressed as the choice of using a VCA in either Class A
or Class AB mode. Class AB operation refers to running a VCA
with less current in the gain core, resulting in lower noise but
higher distortion. More current in the core corresponds to
Class A performance with its lower THD but higher noise.
Figures 11 and 12 show the THD and noise performance of the
SSM2164 as the bias current is adjusted. Notice the two
characteristics have an inverse characteristic.

The quiescent current in the core is set by adding a single

Basic VCA Configuration
VIN4
Figure 24 shows the basic application circuit for the SSM2164.
Each of the four channels is configured identically. A 30 kΩ
resistor converts the input voltage to an input current for the
VCA. Additionally, a 500 Ω resistor in series with a 560 pF
capacitor must be added from each input to ground to ensure
stable operation. The output current pin should be maintained
at a virtual ground using an external amplifier. In this case the
OP482 quad JFET input amplifier is used. Its high slew rate,
wide bandwidth, and low power make it an excellent choice for
the current-to-voltage converter stage. A 30 kΩ feedback
resistor is chosen to match the input resistor, giving unity gain
for a 0.0 V control voltage. The 100 pF capacitors ensure
stability and reduce high frequency noise. They can be
increased to reduce the low pass cutoff frequency for further
noise reduction.

Figure 24. Basic Quad VCA Configuration
Low Cost, Four-Channel Mixer
The four VCAs in a single package can be configured to create a
simple four-channel mixer as shown in Figure 25. The inputs
and control ports are configured the same as for the basic VCA,
but the outputs are summed into a single output amplifier. The
OP176 is an excellent amplifier for audio applications because
of its low noise and distortion and high output current drive.
The amount of signal from each input to the common output
can be independently controlled using up to 20 dB of gain or as
much as 100 dB of attenuation. Additional SSM2164s could be
added to increase the number of mixer channels by simply
summing their outputs into the same output amplifier. Another
possible configuration is to use a dual amplifier such as the
OP275 to create a stereo, two channel mixer with a single
SSM2164.
For this example, the control voltage is developed using a
100 kΩ potentiometer connected between +5 V and ground.
This configuration results in attenuation only. To produce both
gain and attenuation, the potentiometer should be connected
between a positive and negative voltage. The control input has
an impedance of 5 kΩ. Because of this, any resistance in series
with VC will attenuate the control signal. If precise control of
the gain and attenuation is required, a buffered control voltage
should be used.
Notice that a capacitor is connected from the control input to
ground. Because the control port is connected directly to the
gain core transistors, any noise on the VC pin will increase the
output noise of the VCA. Filtering the control voltage ensures
that a minimal amount of noise is introduced into the VCA,
allowing its full performance to be realized. In general, the
largest possible capacitor value should be used to set the filter at
–8–
REV. 0
SSM2164
If additional SSM2164s are added, the 100 pF capacitor may
need to be increased to ensure stability of the output amplifier.
Most op amps are sensitive to capacitance on their inverting
inputs. The capacitance forms a pole with the feedback resistor,
which reduces the high frequency phase margin. As more
SSM2164’s are added to the mixer circuit, their output capacitance and the parasitic trace capacitance add, increasing the
overall input capacitance. Increasing the feedback capacitor will
maintain the stability of the output amplifier.

Digital Control of the SSM2164

VC
One option for controlling the gain and attenuation of the
SSM2164 is to use a voltage output digital-to-analog converter
such as the DAC8426 (Figure 26), whose 0 V to +10 V output
controls the SSM2164’s attenuation from 0 dB to –100 dB. Its
simple 8-bit parallel interface can easily be connected to a
microcontroller or microprocessor in any digitally controlled
system. The voltage output configuration of the DAC8426
provides a low impedance drive to the SSM2164 so the attenuation can be controlled accurately. The 8-bit resolution of the
DAC and its full-scale voltage of +10 V gives an output of
3.9 mV/bit. Since the SSM2164 has a –33 mV/dB gain constant, the overall control law is 0.12 dB/bit or approximately
8 bits/dB. The input and output configuration for the
SSM2164 is the same as for the basic VCA circuit shown
earlier. The 4-to-1 mixer configuration could also be used.

supply as low as +8 V or as high as +36 V. The key to using a
single supply is to reference all ground connections to a voltage
midway between the supply and ground as shown in Figure 27.
The OP176 is used to create a pseudo-ground reference for the
SSM2164. Both the OP482 and OP176 are single supply
amplifiers and can easily operate over the same voltage range as
the SSM2164 with little or no change in performance.
The SSM2164 is intended to replace the SSM2024, an earlier
generation quad VCA. The improvements in the SSM2164
have resulted in a part that is not a drop-in replacement to the
SSM2024, but upgrading applications with the SSM2024 is a
simple task. The changes are shown in Figure 28. Both parts
have identical pinouts with one small exception. The MODE
input (Pin 1) does not exist on the SSM2024. It has fixed
internal biasing, whereas flexibility was designed into the
SSM2164. A MODE set resistor should be added for Class A
operation, but if the SSM2164 is going to be operated in Class
AB, no external resistor is needed.

The reference voltage is set by the resistor divider from the
positive supply. Two 10 kΩ resistors create a voltage equal to
the positive supply divided by 2. The 10 µF capacitor filters the
supply voltage, providing a low noise reference to the circuit.
This reference voltage is then connected to the GND pin of the
SSM2164 and the noninverting inputs of all the output amplifiers. It is important to buffer the resistor divider with the OP176
to ensure a low impedance pseudo-ground connection for the
SSM2164.
The input can either be referenced to this same mid-supply
voltage or ac coupled as is done in this case. If the entire system
is single supply, then the input voltage will most likely already
be referenced to the midpoint; if this is the case, the 10 µF
input capacitor can be eliminated. Unity gain is set when VC
equals the voltage on the GND pin. Thus, the control voltage
should also be referenced to the same midsupply voltage.
The value of the MODE setting resistor may also change
depending on the total supply voltage. Because the GND pin is
at a pseudo-ground potential, the equation to set the MODE
current now becomes:
I MODE =
(V +) −V GND − 0.6V

Figure 28. Upgrading SSM2024 Sockets with SSM2164
Since both parts are current output devices, the output configuration is nearly identical, except that the 10 kΩ resistors should
be increased to 30 kΩ to operate the SSM2164 in its optimum
range. The 10 kΩ input resistor for the SSM2024 should also
be increased to 30 kΩ to match the output resistor. Additionally, the 200 Ω resistor should be replaced by a 500 Ω resistor in
series with 560 pF for the SSM2164 circuit.
One last change is the control port configuration. The
SSM2024’s control input is actually a current input. Thus, a
resistor was needed to change the control voltage to a current.
This resistor should be removed for the SSM2164 to provide a
direct voltage input. In addition, the SSM2024 has a log/log
control relationship in contrast to the SSM2164’s linear/log gain
constant. The linear input is actually much easier to control,
but the difference may necessitate adjusting a SSM2024 based
circuit’s control voltage gain curve. By making these relatively
simple changes, the superior performance of the SSM2164 can
easily be realized.

The value of 1.8 kΩ results in Class A biasing for the case of
using a +8 V supply.
