NE/SA576Low power compandor
DESCRIPTION
The NE/SA576 is a unity gain level programmable compandor
designed for low power applications. The NE576 is internally
configured as an expandor and a compressor to minimize external
component count.
The NE576 can operate at 1.8V . During normal operations, the
NE576 can operate from at least a 2V battery. If the battery voltage
drops to 1.8V , this part will still continue to function, however, turning
on the part at a V
V
to half VCC. One resistor connects between VCC and V
REF
the other connects from V
of 1.8V requires two external resistors to bring
CC
to ground. A typical value for these
REF
REF
;
external resistors is approximately 20k. A lower value can be used,
but the power consumption will go up.
The NE576 is available in a 14-pin plastic DIP and SO packages.
FEATURES
•Operating voltage range: 1.8V to 7V
•Low power consumption
(1.4mA @ 3.6V)
•Over 80dB of dynamic range
•Wide input/output swing capability
(rail-to-rail)
•Low external component count
•ESD hardened
