GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SSM2167 is a complete and flexible solution for conditioning
microphone inputs in personal electronics and computer audio
systems. It is also excellent for improving vocal clarity in com-
munications and public address systems. A low noise voltage
controlled amplifier (VCA) provides a gain that is dynamically
adjusted by a control loop to maintain a set compression charac-
teristic. The compression ratio is set by a single resistor and can
be varied from 1:1 to over 10:1 relative to the fixed rotation
point. Signals above the rotation point are limited to prevent
overload and to eliminate popping. A downward expander (noise
gate) prevents amplification of background noise or hum. This
results in optimized signal levels prior to digitization, thereby
eliminating the need for additional gain or attenuation in the
digital domain. The flexibility of setting the compression ratio
and the time constant of the level detector, coupled with two
values of rotation point, make the SSM2167 easy to integrate in
a wide variety of microphone conditioning applications.
The device is available in a 10-lead MSOP package, and is
guaranteed for operation over the extended industrial
temperature range of 40°C to +85°C.
