General Descriptions
The GL6552 is a Compander IC, which
contains two variable gain circuits configured
for compressing and expanding the dynamic
range, and improving of S/N ratio of audio
signal. It consists of compressor, expander, Mic
Amp, limiter, ALC(Automatic Level
Control)and mute logic. The compressor circuit
has the 2/1 ratio of input/output ratio by
logarithm, and the expander circuit by
logarithm. An internal, temperature stable
bandgap reference provides the necessary
precision voltage and current. Applications
include cordless telephone and most voice RF
links.
Features
• Operating Supply Voltage: 2 ~ 6 V
• Built in ALC circuit
• Built in Mute logic circuit
• Easy gain control to use external component

Stress above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Rating” may cause permanent damage of device.
This is stress rating only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above
those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for longer periods may affect device reliability.
During overload conditions (VIN > VCC or VIN <GND), those voltage on VCC pins with respect to ground
must not exceed the values defined by the absolute maximum ratings.

Symbol Function
Output terminal of bias circuit (Band Gap of reference). It is an internal
REF
reference voltage used for supplying a constant voltage to the compressor
and the expander.
External rectifing capacitor is connected to this terminal. Attack and decay
time of expander is determined by capacitor.
Expander output terminal
It is an expander mute terminal of a compander.
“L” state – expander mute is executed.
“H” state – expander is executed.
It is an compander mute terminal of a compander.
“L” state – compressor mute is executed.
“H” state – compressor is executed.
Compressor Mic Amp noninverting input terminal. It is used as input
terminal for voice signal.

External rectifing capacitor is connected to this terminal. Attack and decay
time of expander is determined by capacitor.
Feedback coupling capacitor is connected to this terminal. Low cut-off
frequency of compressor is determined by this capacitor.
It is a reference voltage input terminal of ALC. ALC circuit may be turned
off according to the ALC reference voltage.
