New Audio
Processor IC Targets Wireless Applications
New York, October 8, 2003 -- THAT Corporation
announces availability of the THAT4320S, a single-chip Analog Engine®
optimized for low-voltage, low-power operation. Incorporating a
high-performance voltage controlled amplifier (VCA), rms-level sensor,
and four opamps, the surface-mount part is aimed at battery-operated
audio applications like wireless microphones, wireless instruments and
personal monitors. It operates down to +4.5Vdc, drawing only 3.7mA.
According to THAT's president, Les Tyler, "the 4320 offers
improved performance and value over THAT's own 4311 low-voltage
dynamics processor. The 4320 operates on a single supply up to 15Vdc,
making it useful in line- as well as battery-operated products. The
VCA is pre-trimmed at wafer stage to deliver low distortion without
further adjustment. And, one opamp is quiet enough to be used as a
microphone preamp."
Gary Hebert, THAT's chief technical officer added "What really
sets this IC apart is the transparent sound of its Blackmer™ VCA
coupled with its accurate, wide-range true-rms level detector. The
4320 is useful in battery-powered mixers, compressor/limiters, ENG
devices and other portable audio products. This is a highly integrated
IC -- it even contains an on-board PTAT reference to generate
thermally-compensated control voltages for thresholds and gain
settings."
Priced at $5.33 in 1k quantities, and packaged in a 28-pin QSOP,
the THAT 4320 is economical in cost and PCB real estate. Follow these

datasheet, or to learn about THAT
Corporation other ICs.
