Description
The THAT 1510 and 1512 are high perfor-
process, the THAT 1510 and 1512 improve on
existing integrated microphone preamps by of-
fering lower noise at low gains, better distor-
tion characteristics, lower power consumption,
higher slew rate and bandwidth, and increased
output voltage swing. The parts are fully pro-
tected against ESD on all critical pins, and reli-
ability is further enhanced by their reduced
power requirements.
mance audio preamplifiers suitable for micro-
phone preamp and bus summing applications.
The ICs are pin compatible with the Analog De-
vices SSM2017 in both the 8-pin DIP and
16-pin SOIC packages.
The THAT1512 follows
a different gain
equation than the 1510, but exhibits signifi-
cantly lower noise at lower gain settings and is
recommended for new designs.
In short, the THAT 1510 and 1512 provide
superior performance in a popular format at an
affordable price.
Designed from the ground up in THAT's
