The SSM2164 contains four independent voltage controlled
amplifiers (VCAs) in a single package. High performance
(100 dB dynamic range, 0.02% THD) is provided at a very low
cost-per-VCA, resulting in excellent value for cost sensitive gain
control applications. Each VCA offers current input and output
for maximum design flexibility, and a ground referenced
–33 mV/dB control port.
All channels are closely matched to within 0.07 dB at unity gain,
and 0.24 dB at 40 dB of attenuation. A 120 dB gain range is
possible.
A single resistor tailors operation between full Class A and AB
modes. The pinout allows upgrading of SSM2024 designs with
minimal additional circuitry.
The SSM2164 will operate over a wide supply voltage range of
±
4 V to
±
18 V. Available in 16-pin P-DIP and SOIC packages,
the device is guaranteed for operation over the extended
industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the SSM2164 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
