Description
THAT 2181 Series integrated-circuit voltage con-
trolled amplifiers (VCAs) are very high-performance
current-in/current-out devices with two oppos-
ing-polarity, voltage-sensitive control ports. They offer
wide-range exponential control of gain and attenuation
with low signal distortion. The parts are selected after
packaging based primarily on after-trim THD and con-
trol-voltage feedthrough performance.
The VCA design takes advantage of a fully comple-
mentary dielectric isolation process which offers
closely matched NPN/PNP pairs. This delivers perfor-
mance unobtainable through any conventional pro-
cess, integrated or discrete. The parts are available in
three grades, allowing the user to optimize cost vs.
performance. Both 8-pin single-in-line (SIP) and sur-
face mount (SO) packages are available.
