DESCRIPTION
The SA572 is a dual-channel, high-performance gain control circuit
in which either channel may be used for dynamic range
compression or expansion. Each channel has a full-wave rectifier to
detect the average value of input signal, a linearized,
temperature-compensated variable gain cell (
G) and a dynamic
time constant buffer. The buffer permits independent control of
dynamic attack and recovery time with minimum external
components and improved low frequency gain control ripple
distortion over previous compandors.
The SA572 is intended for noise reduction in high-performance
audio systems. It can also be used in a wide range of
communication systems and video recording applications.
