distance telephony applications. It can be used in any system
requiring either an improved signal-to-noise ratio, or a reduced
dynamic range. Such applications include telephones,
speakerphones, tape recorders, wireless microphones, digital
recording, and many others.
Power Supplies, Grounding
and the ground system at the IC are very important in order
to obtain proper operation. Noise, from any source, coming
into the device on V CC or ground, can cause a distorted
output, or incorrect gain levels.
(within 1 max.) with a 4.7 µF capacitor and a 0.01 µF ceramic.
A tantalum capacitor is recommended for the larger value if
very high frequency noise is present, since electrolytic
capacitors simply have too much inductance at those
frequencies. The quality of the power supply voltage should be
checked at the IC with a high frequency scope. Noise spikes
(always present if digital circuits are near this IC) can easily
exceed 400 mV, and if they get into the IC, the output can have
noise or distortion. Noise can be reduced by inserting resistors
and/or inductors between the supply and the IC.
of 0.5 V or greater at frequencies of 50 kHz – 1.0 MHz. These
spikes are generally more difficult to reduce because of their
greater energy content. In extreme cases, a 3-terminal
regulator (e.g., MC78L05ACP), with appropriate high
frequency filtering, should be used and dedicated to the
analog portion of the circuit.

MC33111 should preferably not be at the tail end of the bus
distribution, after passing through a maze of digital circuitry.
The analog circuitry containing the MC33111 should be close
to the power supply, or the connector where the supply
voltages enter the board. If V CC is supplying considerable
current to other parts of the board, then it is preferable to
have dedicated lines directly to the MC33111 and associated
circuitry.
