Integrated Circuits

The AS571D is Alfa’s version of the NE571 or SA571 in an SOIC package. AS571 is a versatile low cost dual gain control circuit in which either channel may be used as a dynamic range compressor or expandor. Each channel has a full-wave rectifier to detect the average value of the signal, a linearized temperature-compensated variable gain cell, and an operational amplifier. AS571 is well suited for use in VCA blocks, noise reduction systems, compandors/expanders ,etc. Features

• Complete compressor and expandor
• Temperature compensated
• Channel separation >86 dB
• Greater than 110 dB dynamic range
• Levels adjustable with external components
• Distortion may be trimmed out

Applications

• VCA
• High level limiter
• Low level expandor − noise gate
• Dynamic filters
• Dynamic noise reduction systems
