conceptual difficulty for designers first exposed to this
convention, the current input/output mode provides
great flexibility in application.

The input resistor (shown as 20 k
should be scaled to convert the available ac input volt-
age to a current within the linear range of the device.
(Peak input currents should be kept under 1 mA for
best distortion performance.) An additional consider-
ation is stability: the internal op amp is intended for
operation with source impedances of less than 30 k
at high frequencies. For most audio applications, this
will present no problem.

around the internal opamp (essentially Q1/D1 and
Q3/D3) are fixed, low values for the input resistor will
require more closed-loop gain from the opamp. Since
