Dual operational transconductance amplifier
NE5517/5517A
DESCRIPTION
The NE5517 contains two current-controlled transconductance
amplifiers, each with a differential input and push-pull output. The
NE5517 offers significant design and performance advantages over
similar devices for all types of programmable gain applications.
Circuit performance is enhanced through the use of linearizing
diodes at the inputs which enable a 10dB signal-to-noise
improvement referenced to 0.5% THD. The NE5517 is suited for a
wide variety of industrial and consumer applications and is
recommended as the preferred circuit in the Dolby* HX (Headroom
Extension) system.
Constant impedance buffers on the chip allow general use of the
NE5517. These buffers are made of Darlington transistor and a
biasing network which changes bias current in dependence of I
ABC
.
Therefore, changes of output offset voltages are almost eliminated.
This is an advantage of the NE5517 compared to LM13600. With
the LM13600, a burst in the bias current I
ABC
guides to an audible
offset voltage change at the output. With the constant impedance
buffers of the NE5517 this effect can be avoided and makes this
circuit preferable for high quality audio applications.
