Description

The THAT4316 is a single-chip Analog Engine® optimized for very low-voltage, low-power operation. It incorporates a high-performance class-AB voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) and true-RMS-responding level detector. The 16-pin QSOP part is aimed at battery-operated audio applications including companding systems for wireless microphones, wireless instruments, and in-ear monitors, as well as dynamics processors of all types. The 4316 operates from a single supply voltage down to 2.7V, drawing only 1.2mA at 3.3V.

4316 Surface Mount Adapter Board
– For our integrated circuits which are only available in surface mount packages, THAT Corporation recommends adapter boards which allow one of these surface-mount ICs to interface to a circuit board via traditional thru-hole mounting. These adapters make it easy for a design engineer to evaluate our surface-mount products on a prototype board without having to employ SMT technology. We do not supply these adaptor boards, however they are available from various electronic parts distributors.
Please search for “(Surface mount Package Style) to through-hole adaptors”. For example: “16 pin QSOP to through-hole adaptor”.

Harsh Environment Packaging

The History of VCAs
– THAT Blackmer® VCAs are the successors to the original dbx® line of VCAs. Their development for professional audio use has a long history, and can provide some insight into the care and feeding of these essential devices.
