Dual Voltage-controlled Amplifier
BA7655A / BA7655AF
The BA7655A and BA7655AF are dual voltage-controlled amplifier ICs designed for use in camcorders and VCRs.
By varying the control voltage the amplifier gain can varied from -6dB to +6dB. When the control pin voltage drops
below 1V the amplifier enters Power Save Mode which mutes the output and reduces the current drawn by the IC.

Fig. 1 Voltage gain vs.
control voltage characteristics
The gain of a VCA (voltage-controlled amplifier) can be
varied by an external control voltage. By varying the
control voltage from 2V to 5V (in the case of a 5V
power supply), the gain of the amplifiers in this IC can
be varied over the range -6dB to +6dB (see Figs. 1
and 2 below).
When only one of the two amplifiers is being used, by
setting the voltage on the CTL pin of the unused amplifier to 1V or less, it can be put into Power Save Mode.
In Power Save Mode, the circuit current for the IC is
cut by 40%, and the output is muted.
