Analog Secrets Your Mother Never Told You (1528k)
Originally presented at the 123rd AES Convention, this seminar provides tips and techniques to achieve optimal performance in the analog signal path. Topics covered range from inputs (balanced line and mic level) to outputs (balanced to single-ended), and include analog signal processing (VCAs, RMS detection, and Analog Engines).
2180 Series Device Model
Our SPICE macro models allow modeling of the important parameters of our ICs.
2180 Series Demo Board - The THAT 2180 Series Demonstration System (US$100) allows the engineer to test the performance of a THAT2180 quickly and easily. The 2180 Demo Board is self-contained circuit board with XLR connectors for signal input and output and a 3-pin header for connection to an external regulated DC power supply (not included). See the 2180 Demo Board Datasheet for more information.
Harsh Environment Packaging - TT Semiconductor repackages THAT Corporation’s IC products in ruggidized plastic for the medical, aerospace, defense, and heavy industrial marketplaces.
The History of VCAs - THAT Blackmer® VCAs are the successors to the original dbx® line of VCAs. Their development for professional audio use has a long history, and can provide some insight into the care and feeding of these essential devices.
2180L Material Data Declaration Sheet (SIP Package)
Material Data Declaration Sheets (MDDS) disclose the hazardous materials in our integrated circuits as required by the European RoHS directive.
