Basic Expandor
Figure 6 shows an application of the circuit as a simple
expandor. The gain expression of the system is given by:

(I1 = 140 mA)
Both the resistors R1 and R2 are tied to internal summing
nodes. R1 is a 6.8 kW internal resistor. The maximum input
current into the gain cell can be as large as 140 mA. This
corresponds to a voltage level of 140 mA•6.8 kW = 952 mV
peak. The input peak current into the rectifier is limited to
300 mA by the internal bias system. Note that the value of
R1 can be increased to accommodate higher input level. R2
and R3 are external resistors. It is easy to adjust the ratio of
R3/R2 for desirable system voltage and current levels. A
small R2 results in higher gain control current and smaller
static and dynamic tracking error. However, an impedance
buffer A1 may be necessary if the input is voltage driven
with large source impedance.
The gain cell output current feeds the summing node of
the external OPA A2. R3 and A2 convert the gain cell output
current to the output voltage. In high-performance
applications, A2 has to be low-noise, high-speed and wide
band so that the high-performance output of the gain cell
will not be degraded. The non-inverting input of A2 can be
biased at the low noise internal reference Pin 6 or 10.
Resistor R4 is used to bias up the output DC level of A2 for
maximum swing. The output DC level of A2 is given by:

CA sets the attack time constant and CR sets the recovery
time constant.
