Integrated Circuits

PCB for converting SMD SOIC-16 packages to through hole DIP-16 footprints. Solder the device to this PCB then attach pin headers (sold seperately) to connect to through hole footprints on PCBs, breadboards and IC sockets. This adapter is also compatible with SOP-16 packages.

The AS571D is Alfa’s version of the NE571 or SA571 in an SOIC package. AS571 is a versatile low cost dual gain control circuit in which either channel may be used as a dynamic range compressor or expandor. Each channel has a full-wave rectifier to detect the average value of the signal, a linearized temperature-compensated variable gain cell, and an operational amplifier. AS571 is well suited for use in VCA blocks, noise reduction systems, compandors/expanders ,etc. Features

• Complete compressor and expandor
• Temperature compensated
• Channel separation >86 dB
• Greater than 110 dB dynamic range
• Levels adjustable with external components
• Distortion may be trimmed out

Applications

• VCA
• High level limiter
• Low level expandor − noise gate
• Dynamic filters
• Dynamic noise reduction systems

The AS3109 is Alfa’s version of the Roland IR3109 VCF in an SOIC package. The AS3109 is a high performance voltage controlled four-pole filter. The four independent sections may be interconnected to provide a wide variety of filter responses, such as low pass, high pass, band pass and all pass. A single input exponentially controls the frequency over a range greater than 15 octaves with little control voltage feedthrough. AS3109 features high input impedance buffers. Features

• Voltage controllable range – 15 octaves
• Accurate exponential frequency scale
• High input impedance buffers
• Wide transconductance range
• Low input offset voltage
• Low control voltage feedthrough - 45 dB typical

Applications

• For electronic music
