New Balanced Line
Receiver ICs Now Shipping
New York, October 8, 2003 – THAT
Corporation announces availability from stock of the 1240
series of balanced line receiver ICs. These are precision
differential amplifiers intended primarily for use as audio balanced
line receivers. The family features versions that are pin-compatible
with Analog Devices' SSM2140 and SSM2143, and Burr-Brown's INA137.
Gary Hebert, THAT’s chief technology officer noted, "the
1240-family uses integrated, laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to
provide very precise balance; typical common-mode rejection is 90dB.
Audio performance is uniformly high, with 12v/us
slew rate, 20MHz gain-bandwidth product, and 0.0006% audio-band THD.
The devices are protected from EOS/ESD by diode clamps on critical
pins making them reliable alternatives for real-world products."
Les Tyler, THAT's president, added, "the 1240-family is
available in three different gains -- 0, -3, and -6dB -- to suit
various application requirements. While similar parts at 0 and -6dB
gain have been available before now, the -3dB version is unique. We
believe it represents the optimum tradeoff between noise and headroom
for real-world applications."
The 1240s are made using THAT’s proprietary dielectric isolation
(DI) process in THAT’s Milpitas, CA. IC
fabrication facility. Mr. Tyler said that, due to the DI process's
ability to deliver discrete device performance, "these parts
sound like discrete designs, with the size, reliability, and
convenience of ICs."
Priced at $1.52 in 1k quantities and available in popular industry
packages, the THAT 1240-series offers a superior substitute to other
line receivers. Follow these links for additional
information on the 1240 series, to download a 1240
datasheet, or to learn about THAT
Corporation's other IC products.
