SA571
Compandor
The SA571 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 linerarized temperature−compensated variable
gain cell, and an operational amplifier.
The SA571 is well suited for use in cellular radio and radio
communications systems, modems, telephone, and satellite
broadcast/receive audio systems.

Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur. Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit
values (not normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are exceeded, device functional operation is not implied,
damage may occur and reliability may be affected.

SA571
Circuit Description
COMPRESSOR INPUT LEVEL OR EXPANDOR
OUTPUT LEVEL (dBm)
The SA571 compandor building blocks, as shown in the
block diagram, are a full−wave rectifier, a variable gain cell,
an operational amplifier and a bias system. The arrangement
of these blocks in the IC result in a circuit which can perform
well with few external components, yet can be adapted to
many diverse applications.
The full−wave rectifier rectifies the input current which
flows from the rectifier input, to an internal summing node
which is biased at V
REF
. The rectified current is averaged on
an external filter capacitor tied to the C
RECT
terminal, and
the average value of the input current controls the gain of the
variable gain cell. The gain will thus be proportional to the
average value of the input signal for capacitively−coupled
voltage inputs as shown in the following equation. Note that
for capacitively−coupled inputs there is no offset voltage
capable of producing a gain error. The only error will come
from the bias current of the rectifier (supplied internally)
which is less than 0.1
mA.

or
as brought out externally. A resistor, R
3
, is brought out from
the summing node and allows compressor or expander gain
to be determined only by internal components.
The output stage is capable of
±
20 mA output current.
This allows a +13 dBm (3.5 V
RMS
) output into a 300
W
load
which, with a series resistor and proper transformer, can
result in +13 dBm with a 600
W
output impedance.
A bandgap reference provides the reference voltage for all
summing nodes, a regulated supply voltage for the rectifier
and
DG
cell, and a bias current for the
DG
cell. The low
tempco of this type of reference provides very stable biasing
over a wide temperature range.
The typical performance characteristics illustration
shows the basic input−output transfer curve for basic
compressor or expander circuits.

The speed with which gain changes to follow changes in
input signal levels is determined by the rectifier filter
capacitor. A small capacitor will yield rapid response but
will not fully filter low frequency signals. Any ripple on the
gain control signal will modulate the signal passing through
the variable gain cell. In an expander or compressor
application, this would lead to third harmonic distortion, so
there is a trade−off to be made between fast attack and decay
times and distortion. For step changes in amplitude, the
change in gain with time is shown by this equation.

A compensation scheme built into the
DG
cell
compensates for temperature and cancels out odd harmonic
distortion. The only distortion which remains is even
harmonics, and they exist only because of internal offset
voltages. The THD trim terminal provides a means for
nulling the internal offsets for low distortion operation.
The operational amplifier (which is internally
compensated) has the non−inverting input tied to V
