Description
The THAT4315 is a single-chip Analog Engine optimized for low-voltage, low-power operation. Incorporating a high-performance Blackmer® voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA), RMS-level sensor, the surface mount part is aimed at battery-operated audio applications such as wireless microphones, wireless instruments and in-ear monitors. The 4315 operates from a single supply voltage down to +4.5Vdc, drawing only 1.6mA.
