SSM2164 Description

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.

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.

SSM2164 Application Circuit

SSM2164 Typical Application Circuit

 

The SSM2164 is a quad Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) with 120 dB of gain control range. Each VCA is a current-in, current-out device with a separate –33 mV/dB voltage input control port. The class of operation (either Class A or Class AB) is set by a single external resistor allowing optimization of the distortion versus noise tradeoff for a particular application. The four independent VCAs in a single 16-pin package make the SSM2164 ideal for applications where multiple volume control elements are needed. The typical application circuit for SSM2164 is given above.

SSM2164 Simplified Schematic

The simplified schematic given below shows the basic structure of one of the four VCAs in the device. The gain core is comprised of the matched differential pairs Q1-Q4 and the current mirrors of Q5, Q6 and Q7, Q8. The current input pin, IIN, is connected to the collectors of Q1 and Q7, and the difference in current between these two transistors is equivalent to IIN. For example, if 100 µA is flowing into the input, Q1’s collector current will be 100 µA higher than Q7’s collector current.

What is a VCA used for in modular?
A VCA, Voltage Controlled Amplifier, sometimes referred to as an audio gate, is an essential module to any Eurorack and no system is complete without one. The concept is an input, output and control that sets how much of the input signal passes through to the output.
What does a Voltage Controlled Amplifier do?
A VCA is a processor that can alter the amplitude of a signal proportional to the control voltage applied to its amplitude modulation control input. In simple words, it is just an amplifier whose output you can control with a control signal.
