Dual REC/PB Preamplifier
Description
The CXA2500M/N is a dual recording/playback preamplifier system bipolar IC which has been developed
for the low voltage operating cassette tape recorder.
Features
• Low quiescent current (VCC = 2V)
PB: ICC = 3.2mA (typ.)
REC: ICC = 5.2mA (typ.)
• Very few external parts
• Built-in Metal/Normal selection switch
• Small switching noise due to internal transient
muting
Applications
3V headphone radio cassette recorders
Structure
Bipolar silicon monolithic IC
