Class A
Compression Amplifier
LD511DATASHEET
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LD511 is a Class A compression amplifier which can
operate over a range of DC battery voltages from 1.1 V
to 2.4 V. A voltage regulator, which is independent of supply
voltage variations, is on-chip to supply a stable 0.94 VDC bias
to the amplifier circuitry and to the microphone.
• 64 dB typical electrical gain
• 0.94 VDC voltage regulator
• 7 ms attack time, 40 ms release time
• 15 dB threshold adjustment
• low noise and distortion
The LD511, in compression, has approximately 15 dB of
threshold adjustment by varying RTH (see application circuit)
and a compression function ratio of ∞ : 1.
• compression ratio ∞ : 1
• 0.3 kHz - 6 kHz frequency response
Minimumattackandreleasetimesarefixedat 7msand40ms
respectively and they can be adjusted simultaneously by
changing the filter capacitor on pin 8, although the ratio of
attack to release time is kept constant.
STANDARD PACKAGING
• 10 pin MICROpac
• 10 pin MINIpac
• 10 pin PLID ®
• 10 pin SLT
The output stage bias can be set to accommodate different
receiver impedances by changing the value of RE . The
voltage across RE (pin 2 to ground) is a constant 27 mV so the
bias current is 27 mV divided by the total value of RE in parallel
with 500 Ω.
