DESCRIPTION
The THAT1580 and THAT5171 ICs enable digitally controlled microphone preamplifier applications with unprecedented performance. Operating on maximum ±17V supplies, the chipset accepts pro audio input levels (+22dBu max) without an input pad. Gain is adjustable to 5.6dB, and from 13.6dB to 68.6dB in 1dB increments. The 5171’s built-in zero-crossing detector and other patent-pending techniques for reducing zipper noise enable very smooth and silent gain changes. A differential servo reduces output offsets to less than 1.5 mV.
Four general purpose outputs on the 5171 can be connected to a variety of peripheral functions, e.g. input pad, phantom power switches, signal routing switches, LED indicators, etc. The addressable SPI interface on the 5171 supports read-back, enabling fault-tolerant control software to verify proper operation. Separating the analog mic pre front end (THAT1580) from the digital functions and switched resistor ladder (THAT5171) allows each IC to be optimized for high performance.
