FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
This section describes the basic subsystems and applications of the
SA575 Compandor. More theory of operation on compandors can
be found in AN174 and AN176. The typical applications of the
SA575 low voltage compandor in an Expandor (1:2), Compressor
(2:1) and Automatic Level Control (ALC) function are explained.
These three circuit configurations are shown in Figures 3, 4, 5
respectively.
The SA575 has two channels for a complete companding system.
The left channel, A, can be configured as a 1:2 Expandor while the
right channel, B, can be configured as either a 2:1 Compressor, a
1:2 Expandor or an ALC. Each channel consists of the basic
companding building blocks of rectifier cell, variable gain cell,
summing amplifier and V
additional high performance uncommitted op amps which can be
utilized for application such as filtering, pre-emphasis/de-emphasis
or buffering.
Figure 6 shows the complete schematic for the applications demo
board. Channel A is configured as an expandor while channel B is
configured so that it can be used either as a compressor or as an
ALC circuit. The switch, S1, toggles the circuit between compressor
and ALC mode. Jumpers J1 and J2 can be used to either include
the additional op amps for signal conditioning or exclude them from
the signal path. Bread boarding space is provided for R1, R2, C1,
C2, R10, R11, C10 and C11 so that the response can be tailored for
each individual need. The components as specified are suitable for
the complete audio spectrum from 20Hz to 20kHz.
The most common configuration is as a unity gain non-inverting
buffer where R1, C1, C2, R10, C10 and C11 are eliminated and R2
and R11 are shorted. Capacitors C3, C5, C8, and C12 are for DC
blocking. In systems where the inputs and outputs are AC coupled,
these capacitors and resistors can be eliminated. Capacitors C4
and C9 are for setting the attack and release time constant.
C6 is for decoupling and stabilizing the voltage reference circuit.
The value of C6 should be such that it will offer a very low
impedance to the lowest frequencies of interest. Too small a
capacitor will allow supply ripple to modulate the audio path. The

better filtered the power supply, the smaller this capacitor can be.
R12 provides DC reference voltage to the amplifier of channel B.
R6 and R7 provide a DC feedback path for the summing amp of
channel B, while C7 is a short-circuit to ground for signals. C14 and
C15 are for power supply decoupling. C14 can also be eliminated if
the power supply is well regulated with very low noise and ripple.
DEMONSTRATED PERFORMANCE
The applications demo board was built and tested for a frequency
range of 20Hz to 20kHz with the component values as shown in
Figure 6 and V

0.5dB and the typical tracking error was +0.1dB for input
range of -30 to +10dB.
In the compressor mode, the typical input dynamic range was from
-42dB to +
gain level was +
18dB with a tracking error +0.1dB and the typical unity
0.5dB.
In the ALC mode, the typical input dynamic range was from -42dB to
+8dB with typical output deviation of +
0.2dB about the nominal
output of 0dB. For input greater than +9dB in ALC configuration, the
summing amplifier sometimes exhibits high frequency oscillations.
There are several solutions to this problem. The first is to lower the
values of R6 and R7 to 20kΩ each. The second is to add a current
limiting resistor in series with C12 at Pin 13. The third is to add a
compensating capacitor of about 22 to 30pF between the input and
output of summing amplifier (Pins 12 and 14). With any one of the
above recommendations, the typical ALC mode input range
increased to +18dB yielding a dynamic range of over 60dB.
EXPANDOR
The typical expandor configuration is shown in Figure 3. The
variable gain cell and the rectifier cell are in the signal input path.

without clipping. The 0dB ref is 100mV
coupled through C5, and the output is AC coupled through C3. If in
a system the inputs and outputs are AC coupled, then C3 and C5
can be eliminated, thus requiring only one external component, C4.
The variable gain cell and rectifier cell are DC coupled so any offset
is always 1/2 VCC to provide the maximum headroom

voltage between Pins 4 and 9 will cause small offset error current in
the rectifier cell. This will affect the accuracy of the gain cell. This
can be improved by using an extra capacitor from the input to Pin 4
and eliminating the DC connection between Pins 4 and 9.
The expandor gain expression and the attack and release time
constant is given by Equation 1 and Equation 2, respectively.

COMPRESSOR
The typical compressor configuration is shown in Figure 4. In this
mode, the rectifier cell and variable gain cell are in the feedback
path. R6 and R7 provide the DC feedback to the summing amplifier.
The input is AC coupled through C12 and output is AC coupled
through C8. In a system with inputs and outputs AC coupled, C8
and C12 could be eliminated and only R6, R7, C7, and C13 would
be required. If the external components R6, R7 and C7 are
eliminated, then the output of the summing amplifier will motor-boat
in absence of signals or at extremely low signals. This is because
there is no DC feedback path from the output to input. In the
presence of an AC signal this phenomenon is not observed and the
circuit will appear to function properly.
The compressor gain expression and the attack and release time
constant is given by Equation 3 and Equation 4, respectively.

AUTOMATIC LEVEL CONTROL
The typical Automatic Level Control circuit configuration is shown in
Figure 5. It can be seen that it is quite similar to the compressor
schematic except that the input to the rectifier cell is from the input
path and not from the feedback path. The input is AC coupled
through C12 and C13 and the output is AC coupled through C8.
Once again, as in the previous cases, if the system input and output
signals are already AC coupled, then C12, C13 and C8 could be
eliminated. Concerning the compressor , removing R6, R7 and C7
will cause motor-boating in absence of signals. C
