DESCRIPTION
The GL504 is a low current preamplifier designed to drive
the class D series of integrated receivers. This preamp has a
built-in symmetrical peak clipping output limiter, 46 dB of
adjustable gain, and requires few external components.
Composed of two stages, an inverting preamp with gain of
28 dB, and a transconductance block with gain of 18 dB, the
GL504 is easily configured for mid-supply reference as
required by the class D receivers.
The two stages of the GL504 must be AC coupled in order to
maintain the DC bias conditions of each stage. Also, a 48
kΩ resistor, between the output and ground, is used to keep
the receivers at mid-supply reference. The minimal total parts
count, excluding an MPO variable resistor, requires 3
capacitors, a 100 kΩ volume control and the 48 kΩ bias
resistor at the output.
The GL504 is capable of providing a flat frequency response
with very little distortion.
