in turn, supplies a DC signal (I CONTROL ), representative of
the AC input signal, to the variable gain cell. The reference cur-
rent (I REF ) is an internally generated precision current. The
effective impedance of the variable gain cell varies with the
ratio of the two currents, and decreases as I CONTROL increas-
es, thereby providing expansion. The output is related to the
input by the following equation (Vin and Vout are rms volts):
must therefore be capacitor coupled to external circuitry. The input
impedance at Pin 14 is nominally 10.9 kΩ (±20%), and the maxi-
mum functional input signal is listed in the Recommended
Operating Conditions table. Bias currents required by the op amp
and the variable gain cell are internally supplied. Due to clamp
diodes at the input (to V CC and ground), the input signal must be
maintained between the supply rails. If the input signal goes more
than 0.5 V above V CC or below ground, excessive currents will
flow, and distortion will show up at the output, and possibly in other
parts of the circuit.
which, in conjunction with an internal 20 k resistor, provides the
time constant for the attack and decay times. The attack and decay
times listed in the Electrical Characteristics were determined using
the test procedure defined in EIA-553. Figure 10 indicates how the
times vary with the capacitor value. If the attack and decay times
are decreased by using a smaller capacitor, performance at low fre-
quencies will degrade.
Op Amps
can be used for peripheral functions, such as a microphone
amplifier, buffer, filter, etc. They have an open loop gain of
≈100 dB, and a bandwidth of ≈ 300 kHz. The noninverting
inputs are internally biased at Vb (≈ +1.5 V). The inverting
inputs (Pins 7, 9) require a bias current of ≈ 8.0 nA, which

affect other portions of the IC.
Logic Inputs
passthrough functions for the compressor and expander
according to the following truth table:
muted independently. The Passthrough control affects both sec-
tions simultaneously, but only if the Mute inputs are at a logic
level 0. If both the Passthrough and a Mute input are asserted,
the Mute will override the Passthrough. The logic controls do
not affect the two uncommitted op amps in any way.
and Figure 14 indicates the typical input current. The inputs’
threshold is ≈ +1.3 V, independent of V CC . An open input is
equivalent to a logic low, but good design practices dictate that
inputs should never be left open. The inputs must be kept with-
in the range of V CC and GND. If an input is taken more than
0.5 V above V CC or below GND excessive currents will flow,
and the device’s operation will be distorted.
NOTE: If an op amp is unused, its output MUST be tied to
