DESCRIPTION
The LE507 is a low voltage class A amplifier design, primarily
for low voltage and low power use. The broad application
include AF output stages, RF amplifiers and output stages of
the hearing instruments. The circuit is comprised of three
stages all of them having access to their collectors for
frequency shaping, feedback, etc. The provision for the bias
network and alternative gain increase to 76 dB are included on
the circuit.
For ␣ more application information refer to Information Note
520 - 30.
