2181CS08-U

2181CS08-U is a Blackmer® trimmable IC (voltage-controlled amplifier). This integrated-circuit voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) is a very high-performance current-in/current-out device with two opposing-polarity, voltage-sensitive control ports. It offers wide-range exponential control of gain and attenuation with low signal distortion. The part is selected after packaging based primarily on after-trim THD and control-voltage feedthrough performance. The VCA design takes advantage of a fully complementary dielectric isolation process which offers closely matched NPN/PNP pairs. This delivers performance unobtainable through any conventional process, integrated or discrete. It is used in applications such as faders, panners, compressors, expanders, equalizers, filters, oscillators, and automation systems.
