DESCRIPTION
The  LD502 is a compression (AGC) preamplifier that  consists
of a single ended input inverting amplifier, with an internal
current controlled resistance connected  between input and
output.
By using R
GT
 (see test circuit) to vary the value of this current
controlled resistance, the amplifier gain and compression
threshold can be controlled over a range of 60 dB.
The AGC current  is derived from a full wave rectifier driven by
a differential amplifier.   The attack time of the AGC circuit is
fixed at  less than 1 ms.   The  release time is adjustable from
40 to 500 ms by selecting the value of an external capacitor
(C3).
Internally, a series shunt voltage regulator produces a 0.94 V
DC regulated output voltage.   This provides a bias for  electret
microphones and permits circuit operations over a wide range
of supply voltages, 1.05 to 3 V
DC
 for LD502 without any
degradation of electrical performances.
