SSM2167Z-EVAL Datasheet PDF - ADI

The SSM2167Z-EVAL is an evaluation board with convenient means to evaluate and understand the operation of the SSM2167. The SSM2167 is a complete and flexible solution for conditioning microphone inputs in personal electronics and computer audio systems. It is also excellent for improving vocal clarity in com-munications and public address systems. A low noise voltage controlled amplifier (VCA) provides a gain that is dynamically adjusted by a control loop to maintain a set compression characteristic. The compression ratio is set by a single resistor and can be varied from 1:1 to over 10:1 relative to the fixed rotation point. Signals above the rotation point are limited to prevent overload and to eliminate popping. A downward expander (noise gate) prevents amplification of background noise or hum. This results in optimised signal levels prior to digitization, thereby eliminating the need for additional gain or attenuation in the digital domain.
