SA578Unity gain level programmable low power compandor
DESCRIPTION
The SA578 is a unity gain level programmable compandor designed
for low power applications. The SA578 is internally configured as an
expandor and a compressor to minimize external component count.
The summing amplifiers of the SA578 have 600Ω drive capability
and the inverting input of the compressor amplifier is accessible
through Pin 9 for summing multiple external signals. Power
Down/Mute function is active low and requires an open collector
output logic configuration at Pin 8. If Power Down/Mute is not
needed, Pin 8 should be left open. When the part is muted, supply
current drops to 170mA at 3.6V .
FEATURES
•Operating voltage range: 1.8V to 7V
•Low power consumption (1.4mA @ 3.6V)
•0dB level programmable
(10mV
