Our single-chip audio dynamics processors, dubbed “THAT Analog Engines®,” combine in one IC all the active circuitry needed to construct a wide range of dynamics processors. Each of the 43xx series includes a high-performance, exponentially controlled Blackmer® voltage controlled amplifier (VCA) and a log-responding RMS-level sensor. The 4320 includes three general-purpose opamps allowing more complex signal processing.
THAT4305 – A low-cost, basic compressor/ limiter/ expander system for dual supply voltages.
THAT4320 – A versatile compressor/ limiter/ expander system for single supply voltages optimized for low-voltage, low-power operation.
THAT4315 – A low-cost basic compressor/ limiter/ expander system for single supply voltages designed for low-voltage, low-power operation.
THAT4316 – A very low-voltage, low-power basic compressor/ limiter/ expander system for single supply voltages.
