SSM2164 Typical Application Circuit

The SSM2164 is a quad Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) with 120 dB of gain control range. Each VCA is a current-in, current-out device with a separate –33 mV/dB voltage input control port. The class of operation (either Class A or Class AB) is set by a single external resistor allowing optimization of the distortion versus noise tradeoff for a particular application. The four independent VCAs in a single 16-pin package make the SSM2164 ideal for applications where multiple volume control elements are needed. The typical application circuit for SSM2164 is given above.



SSM2164 Simplified Schematic

The simplified schematic given below shows the basic structure of one of the four VCAs in the device. The gain core is comprised of the matched differential pairs Q1-Q4 and the current mirrors of Q5, Q6 and Q7, Q8. The current input pin, IIN, is connected to the collectors of Q1 and Q7, and the difference in current between these two transistors is equivalent to IIN. For example, if 100 µA is flowing into the input, Q1’s collector current will be 100 µA higher than Q7’s collector current.
