Circuit Description
block diagram, are a full−wave rectifier, a variable gain cell,
an operational amplifier and a bias system. The arrangement
of these blocks in the IC result in a circuit which can perform
well with few external components, yet can be adapted to
many diverse applications.

which is biased at V
an external filter capacitor tied to the C
the average value of the input current controls the gain of the
variable gain cell. The gain will thus be proportional to the
average value of the input signal for capacitively−coupled
voltage inputs as shown in the following equation. Note that
for capacitively−coupled inputs there is no offset voltage
capable of producing a gain error. The only error will come
from the bias current of the rectifier (supplied internally)
which is less than 0.1 mA.
input signal levels is determined by the rectifier filter
capacitor. A small capacitor will yield rapid response but
will not fully filter low frequency signals. Any ripple on the
gain control signal will modulate the signal passing through
the variable gain cell. In an expander or compressor
application, this would lead to third harmonic distortion, so
there is a trade−off to be made between fast attack and decay
times and distortion. For step changes in amplitude, the
change in gain with time is shown by this equation.

voltages. The THD trim terminal provides a means for
nulling the internal offsets for low distortion operation.
