Description
The THAT1580 and THAT5173 ICs enable digitally controlled microphone preamplifier applications with unprecedented performance. Operating on maximum ±17V supplies, the chipset accepts pro audio input levels (+26dBu max) without an input pad. Gain is adjustable from 0dB to 60dB in 3dB increments. The 5173’s built-in zero-crossing detector and other patent-pending techniques for reducing zipper noise enable very smooth and silent gain changes. A differential servo reduces output offsets to less than 1.75 mV.
Four general purpose outputs on the 5173 can be connected to a variety of peripheral functions, e.g. input pad, phantom power switches, signal routing switches, LED indicators, etc. Separating the analog mic pre front end (THAT1580) from the digital functions and switched resistor ladder (THAT5173) allows each IC to be optimized for high performance.
