Microphone Preamplifier with  
Variable Compression and Noise Gating  
SSM2166  
SSM2166 can be programmed with a fixed gain of up to 20 dB;  
this gain is in addition to the variable gain in other compression  
FEATURES  
Complete microphone conditioner in a 14-lead SOIC package  
Single 5 V operation  
Adjustable noise gate threshold  
Compression ratio set by external resistor  
Automatic limiting feature—prevents ADC overload  
Adjustable release time  
settings. The input buffer can also be configured for front-end  
gains of 0 dB to 20 dB. A downward expander (noise gate) prevents  
amplification of noise or hum. This results in optimized signal  
levels prior to digitization, thereby eliminating the need for  
additional gain or attenuation in the digital domain that may  
add noise or impair accuracy of speech recognition algorithms.  
The compression ratio and time constants are set externally. A  
high degree of flexibility is provided by the VCA gain, rotation  
point, and noise gate adjustment pins.  
Low noise and distortion  
Power-down feature  
20 kHz bandwidth ( 1 dBꢀ  
APPLICATIONS  
The SSM2166 is an ideal companion product for audio codecs  
used in computer systems, such as the AD1845. The SSM2166 is  
available in a 14-lead SOIC package and is guaranteed for  
operation over the extended industrial temperature range of  
−40°C to +85°C.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
COMP RATIO = 1:1  
The SSM2166 integrates a complete and flexible solution for  
conditioning microphone inputs in computer audio systems. It  
is also excellent for improving vocal clarity in communications  
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 15:1 relative to a user-defined rotation point;  
signals above the rotation point are limited to prevent overload  
and to eliminate popping. In the 1:1 compression setting, the

GAIN ADJUST  
VCA Gain Adjust Pin. A resistor from this pin to ground sets the fixed gain of the VCA. To check the setting of  
this pin, make sure the compression ratio set pin (Pin 10) is grounded for no compression. The gain can be  
varied from 0 dB to 20 dB. For 20 dB, leave the pin open. For 0 dB of fixed gain, a typical resistor value is  
approximately 1 kΩ. For 10 dB of fixed gain, the resistor value is approximately 2 kΩ to 3 kΩ. For resistor values  
<1 kΩ, the VCA can attenuate or mute (see Figure 6).

SSM2166  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
Figure 15 illustrates a typical transfer characteristic for the  
SSM2166 where the output level in decibels is plotted as a  
function of the input level in decibels. The dotted line indicates  
the transfer characteristic for a unity-gain amplifier. For input  
signals in the range of VDE (downward expansion) to VRP (rotation  
point), an r dB change in the input level causes a 1 dB change in  
the output level. Here, r is defined as the compression ratio. The  
compression ratio can be varied from 1:1 (no compression) to  
over 15:1 via a single resistor, RCOMP. Input signals above VRP  
are compressed with a fixed compression ratio of approximately  
15:1. This region of operation is the limiting region. Varying the  
compression ratio has no effect on the limiting region. The break-  
point between the compression region and the limiting region is  
referred to as the limiting threshold or the rotation point and is  
user specified in the SSM2166. The term “rotation point” derives  
from the observation that the straight line in the compression  
region rotates about this point on the input/output characteristic as  
the compression ratio is changed.  
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
The SSM2166 is a complete microphone signal conditioning  
system on a single integrated circuit. Designed primarily for voice-  
band applications, this integrated circuit provides amplification,  
rms detection, limiting, variable compression, and downward  
expansion. An integral voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA)  
provides up to 60 dB of gain in the signal path with approximately  
30 kHz bandwidth. Additional gain is provided by an input  
buffer, op amp circuit that can be set anywhere from 0 dB to 20 dB  
for a total signal path gain of up to 80 dB. The device operates  
on a single 5 V supply, accepts input signals up to 1 V rms, and  
produces output signal levels >1 V rms (3 V p-p) into loads >5 kΩ.  
The internal rms detector has a time constant set by an external  
capacitor.  
The SSM2166 contains an input buffer and automatic gain  
control (AGC) circuit for audio-band and voice-band signals.  
Circuit operation is optimized by providing a user-adjustable  
time constant and compression ratio. A downward expansion  
(noise gating) feature eliminates circuit noise in the absence of  
an input signal. The SSM2166 allows the user to set the downward  
expansion threshold, the limiting threshold (rotation point), the  
input buffer fixed gain, and the internal VCA nominal gain at  
the rotation point. The SSM2166 also features a power-down  
mode and muting capability.  
The gain of the system with an input signal level of VRP is fixed  
by RGAIN, regardless of the compression ratio, and is the nominal  
gain of the system. The nominal gain of the system can be  
increased by the user via the on-board VCA by up to 20 dB.  
Additionally, the input buffer of the SSM2166 can be configured  
to provide fixed gains of 0 dB to 20 dB with R1 and R2.  
Input signals below VDE are downward expanded; that is, a  
−1 dB change in the input signal level causes approximately a  
−3 dB change in the output level. As a result, the gain of the  
system is small for very small input signal levels, even though it  
may be quite large for small input signals above VDE. The down-  
ward expansion threshold, VDE, is set externally by the user via  
SIGNAL PATH  
Figure 16 illustrates the block diagram of the SSM2166. The  
audio input signal is processed by the input buffer and then  
by the VCA. The input buffer presents an input impedance of  
approximately 180 kΩ to the source. A dc voltage of approximately  
1.5 V is present at AUDIO +IN (Pin 7), requiring the use of a  
blocking capacitor (C1) for ground referenced sources. A 0.1 μF  
capacitor is a good choice for most audio applications. The input  
buffer is a unity-gain stable amplifier that can drive the low  
impedance input of the VCA.  
RGATE at Pin 9 (NOISE GATE SET). The SSM2166 provides an  
active high, CMOS-compatible digital input whereby a power-  
down feature reduces the device supply current to less than 100 μA.  
LIMITING  
THRESHOLD  
(ROTATION POINT)  
LIMITING  
REGION  
The VCA is a low distortion, variable-gain amplifier (VGA)  
whose gain is set by the side-chain control circuitry. The input  
to the VCA is a virtual ground in series with approximately 1 kΩ.  
An external blocking capacitor (C6) must be used between the  
buffer output and the VCA input. The 1 kΩ impedance between  
amplifiers determines the value of this capacitor, which is typically  
between 1 μF and 10 μF. An aluminum electrolytic capacitor is  
an economical choice. The VCA amplifies the input signal current  
flowing through C6 and converts this current to a voltage at the  
OUTPUT pin (Pin 13). The net gain from input to output can  
be as high as 60 dB (without additional buffer gain), depending  
on the gain set by the control circuitry.

SSM2166  
The gain of the VCA at the rotation point is set by the value of a  
resistor, RGAIN, connected between Pin 2 and GND. The relationship  
between the VCA gain and RGAIN is shown in Figure 6. The AGC  
range can be as high as 60 dB. The VCAIN pin (Pin 3) is the non-  
inverting input terminal to the VCA. The inverting input of the  
VCA is available at the VCAR pin (Pin 4) and exhibits an input  
impedance of 1 kΩ, as well. As a result, this pin can be used for  
differential inputs or for the elimination of grounding problems  
by connecting a capacitor whose value equals that used in series  
with the VCAIN pin to ground (see Figure 26 for more details).

The SSM2166 incorporates a full-wave rectifier and true rms  
level detector circuit whose averaging time constant is set by  
an external capacitor connected to the AVG CAP pin (Pin 8).  
For optimal low frequency operation of the level detector  
down to 10 Hz, the value of the capacitor should be 2.2 μF.  
Some experimentation with larger values for the AVG CAP  
may be necessary to reduce the effects of excessive low frequency  
ambient background noise. The value of the averaging capacitor  
affects sound quality: too small a value for this capacitor may  
cause a pumping effect for some signals, while too large a value  
may result in slow response times to signal dynamics. Electrolytic  
capacitors are recommended for lowest cost and should be in  
the range of 2 μF to 47 μF. Capacitor values from 18 μF to 22 μF  
have been found to be more appropriate in voice-band applications  
where capacitors on the low end of the range seem more  
appropriate for music program material.  
The output impedance of the SSM2166 is typically less than 75 Ω,  
and the external load on Pin 13 should be >5 kΩ. The nominal  
output dc voltage of the device is approximately 2.2 V. Use a  
blocking capacitor for grounded loads.  
The bandwidth of the SSM2166 is quite wide at all gain settings.  
The upper 3 dB point is approximately 30 kHz at gains as high as  
60 dB (using the input buffer for additional gain, circuit bandwidth  
is unaffected). The gain bandwidth (GBW) plots are shown in  
Figure 11. The lower 3 dB cutoff frequency of the SSM2166 is  
set by the input impedance of the VCA (1 kΩ) and C6. While the  
noise of the input buffer is fixed, the input referred noise of the  
VCA is a function of gain. The VCA input noise is designed to  
be a minimum when the gain is at a maximum, thereby optimizing  
the usable dynamic range of the part. A plot of wideband peak-  
to-peak output noise is shown in Figure 10.  
The rms detector filter time constant is approximately given by  
10 × CAVG milliseconds, where CAVG is in μF. This time constant  
controls both the steady-state averaging in the rms detector as  
well as the release time for compression; that is, the time it takes  
for the system gain to react when a large input is followed by  
a small signal. The attack time, the time it takes for the gain to  
be reduced when a small signal is followed by a large signal, is  
controlled partly by the AVG CAP value but is mainly controlled by  
internal circuitry that speeds up the attack for large level changes.  
This limits overload time to less than 1 ms in most cases.

SSM2166  
The performance of the rms level detector is illustrated for a  
Compression Ratio  
C
AVG of 2.2 μF in Figure 17 and for a CAVG of 22 μF in Figure 18.  
Changing the scaling of the control signal fed to the VCA  
causes a change in the circuit compression ratio, r. This effect is  
shown in Figure 20. The compression ratio can be set by  
connecting a resistor between the COMP RATIO SET pin (Pin  
10) and GND. Lowering RCOMP gives smaller compression ratios  
as shown in Figure 19, with values of approximately 17 kΩ or  
less resulting in a compression ratio of 1:1. AGC performance is  
achieved with compression ratios between 2:1 and 15:1 and is  
dependent on the application. A 100 kΩ potentiometer can be  
used to allow this parameter to be adjusted. On the evaluation  
board (see Figure 26), an optional resistor can be used to set the  
compression equal to 1:1 when the wiper of the potentiometer  
is at its full counterclockwise (CCW) position.  
In each of these images, the input signal to the SSM2166 (not  
shown) is a series of tone bursts in six successive 10 dB steps.  
The tone bursts range from −66 dBV (0.5 mV rms) to −6 dBV  
(0.5 V rms). As shown in Figure 17 and Figure 18, the attack  
time of the rms level detector is dependent only on CAVG, but the  
release times are linear ramps whose decay times are dependent  
on both CAVG and the input signal step size. The rate of release is  
approximately 240 dB/s for a CAVG of 2.2 μF and 12 dB/s for a  
CAVG of 22 μF.

Rotation Point  
CONTROL CIRCUITRY  
An internal dc reference voltage in the control circuitry, used to  
set the rotation point, is user specified, as illustrated in Figure 9.  
The effect on rotation point is shown in Figure 21. By varying a  
resistor, RROT PT, connected between the positive supply and the  
ROTATION SET pin (Pin 11), the rotation point may be varied  
by approximately 20 mV rms to 1 V rms. From Figure 21, the  
rotation point is inversely proportional to RROT PT. For example, a 1  
kΩ resistor would typically set the rotation point at 1 V rms,  
whereas a 55 kΩ resistor would typically set the rotation point  
at approximately 30 mV rms.  
The output of the rms level detector is a signal proportional to  
the log of the true rms value of the buffer output with an added  
dc offset. The control circuitry subtracts a dc voltage from this  
signal, scales it, and sends the result to the VCA to control the  
gain. The gain control of the VCA is logarithmic—a linear change  
in the control signal causes a decibel change in gain. It is this  
control law that allows linear processing of the log rms signal to  
provide the flat compression characteristic on the input/output  
characteristic shown in Figure 15.  
Rev. D | Page 10 of 20  
 
 
 
 
 
SSM2166  
Because limiting occurs for signals larger than the rotation point  
(VIN > VRP), the rotation point effectively sets the maximum output  
signal level. It is recommended that the rotation point be set at  
the upper extreme of the range of typical input signals so that  
the compression region covers the entire desired input signal  
range. Occasional larger signal transients are then attenuated by  
the action of the limiter.  
The gain of the VCA can be reduced below 0 dB by making  
GAIN smaller than 1 kΩ. Switching Pin 2 through 330 Ω or less  
R
to GND mutes the output. Either a switch connected to ground or a  
transistor can be used, as shown in Figure 23. To avoid audible  
clicks when using the mute feature, a capacitor (C5) can be  
connected from Pin 2 to GND. The value of the capacitor is  
arbitrary and should be determined empirically, but a 0.01 μF  
capacitor is a good starting value.

INPUT (dB)  
The downward expansion threshold, or noise gate, is deter-  
mined via a second reference voltage internal to the control  
circuitry. This second reference can be varied in the SSM2166  
using a resistor, RGATE, connected between the positive supply  
and the NOISE GATE SET pin (Pin 9). The effect of varying this  
threshold is shown in Figure 24. The downward expansion  
threshold can be set between 300 μV rms and 20 mV rms by  
varying the resistance value between Pin 9 and the supply  
voltage. Like the ROTATION SET pin, the downward expansion  
threshold is inversely proportional to the value of this resistance:  
setting this resistance to 1 MΩ sets the threshold at approximately  
250 μV rms, whereas a 10 kΩ resistance sets the threshold at  
approximately 20 mV rms. This relationship is illustrated in  
Figure 5. A potentiometer network is provided on the evaluation  
board for this adjustment. In general, the downward expansion  
threshold should be set at the lower extreme of the desired range of  
the input signals so that signals below this level are attenuated.  
Figure 21. Effect of Varying the Rotation Point  
VCA Gain Setting and Muting  
The maximum gain of the SSM2166 is set by the GAIN ADJUST  
pin (Pin 2) via RGAIN. This resistor, with a range of 1 kΩ to  
20 kΩ, causes the nominal VCA gain to vary from 0 dB to  
approximately 20 dB, respectively. Setting the VCA gain to its  
maximum can also be achieved by leaving the GAIN ADJUST  
pin in an open condition (no connect). Figure 22 illustrates the  
effect on the transfer characteristic by varying this parameter.  
For low level signal sources, the VCA should be set to maximum  
gain using a 20 kΩ resistor.

SSM2166  
When using high impedance sources (≥5 kΩ), system gains  
in excess of 60 dB are not recommended. This configuration  
is rarely appropriate because virtually all high impedance  
inputs provide larger amplitude signals that do not require  
as much amplification. When using high impedance sources,  
however, it can be advantageous to shunt the source with a  
capacitor to ground at the input pin of the IC (Pin 7) to  
lower the source impedance at high frequencies, as shown  
in Figure 25. A capacitor with a value of 1000 pF is a good  
starting value and sets a low-pass corner at 31 kHz for 5 kΩ  
sources. In applications where the source ground is not as  
clean as would be desirable, a capacitor (illustrated as C7  
on the evaluation board) from the VCAR input to the source  
ground may prove beneficial. This capacitor is used in  
addition to the grounded capacitor (illustrated as C2 on the  
evaluation board) used in the feedback around the buffer,  
assuming that the buffer is configured for gain.  
POWER-DOWN FEATURE  
The supply current of the SSM2166 can be reduced to less than  
100 μA by applying an active high, 5 V CMOS-compatible input  
to the POWER DOWN pin (Pin 12). In this state, the input and  
output circuitry of the SSM2166 assumes a high impedance  
state; as such, the potentials at the input pin and the output pin are  
determined by the external circuitry connected to the SSM2166.  
The SSM2166 takes approximately 200 ms to settle from a power-  
down to power-on command. For power-on to power-down,  
the SSM2166 requires more time, typically less than 1 second.  
Cycling the power supply to the SSM2166 can result in quicker  
settling times: the off-to-on settling time of the SSM2166 is less  
than 200 ms, while the on-to-off settling time is less than 1 ms.  
In either implementation, transients may appear at the output of  
the device. To avoid these output transients, use mute control of  
the VCA gain as previously mentioned.  
PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS  
Because the SSM2166 is capable of wide bandwidth operation  
and can be configured for as much as 80 dB of gain, special care  
must be exercised in the layout of the PCB that contains the IC  
and its associated components. The following recommendations  
should be considered and/or followed:

NOTES  
1. ADDITIONAL CIRCUIT DETAILS OMITTED  
FOR CLARITY.  
In some high system gain applications, the shielding of input  
wires to minimize possible feedback from the output of the  
SSM2166 back to the input circuit may be necessary.  
Figure 25. Circuit Configuration for Use with High Impedance Signal Sources  
The value of C7 should be the same as C6, which is the capacitor  
value used between BUF OUT and VCAIN. This connection  
makes the source ground noise appear as a common-mode signal  
to the VCA, allowing the common-mode noise to be rejected by  
the VCA differential input circuitry. C7 can also be useful in  
reducing ground loop problems and in reducing noise coupling  
from the power supply by balancing the impedances connected  
to the inputs of the internal VCA.  
A single-point (star) ground implementation is recom-  
mended in addition to maintaining short lead lengths and  
PCB runs. The evaluation board layout shown in Figure 27,  
Figure 28, and Figure 29 demonstrates the single-point  
grounding scheme. In applications where an analog ground  
and a digital ground are available, the SSM2166 and its  
surrounding circuitry should be connected to the analog  
ground of the system. Because of these recommendations,  
wire-wrap board connections and grounding  
implementations should be avoided.  
The internal buffer of the SSM2166 was designed to drive only  
the input of the internal VCA and its own feedback network.  
Stray capacitive loading to ground from the BUF OUT pin in  
excess of 5 pF to 10 pF can cause excessive phase shift and  
can lead to circuit instability.

through a 330 Ω resistance to ground. This is provided on the  
evaluation board via R11 and S1. Capacitor C5, connected  
between Pin 2 and ground and provided on the evaluation  
board, can be used to avoid audible clicks when using the mute  
function.  
EVALUATION BOARD  
A schematic diagram of the SSM2166 evaluation board is  
illustrated in Figure 26. As a design aid, the layouts for the  
topside silkscreen and the topside and backside metallization  
layers are shown in Figure 27, Figure 28, and Figure 29. Although  
not shown to scale, the finished dimension of the evaluation  
board is 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches and comes complete with pin  
sockets and a sample of the SSM2166.  
To configure the SSM2166 input buffer for gain, provisions for  
R1, R2, and C2 have been included. To configure the input buffer  
for unity-gain operation, R1 and R2 are removed and a direct  
connection is made between the −IN pin (Pin 6) and the BUF OUT  
pin (Pin 5).  
Signal sources are connected to the SSM2166 through a 1/8-inch  
phone jack where a 0.1 μF capacitor couples the input signal  
to the AUDIO +IN pin (Pin 7). As shown in Figure 26 and in  
microphone applications, the phone jack shield can be optionally  
connected to the ground plane of the board (Jumper J1 inserted  
into the board socket for Pin 1 and Pin 2) or to the VCAR input  
at Pin 4 (J1 inserted into the board socket for Pin 1 and Pin 3).  
If the signal source is a waveform or function generator, the  
phone jack shield should be connected to ground.  
The output stage of the SSM2166 is capable of driving >1 V rms  
(3 V p-p) into >5 kΩ loads and is externally available through  
an RCA phono jack provided on the board. If the output of the  
SSM2166 is required to drive a lower load resistance or an audio  
cable, the on-board OP113 can be used. To use the OP113 buffer,  
insert Jumper J4 into the board socket for Pin 4 and Pin 5 and  
insert Jumper J5 into the board socket for Pin 6 and Pin 7. If the  
output buffer is not required, remove Jumper J5 and insert Jumper  
J4 into board socket Pin 5 and Pin 7.  
For ease in making adjustments for all configuration parameters,  
single-turn potentiometers are used throughout. Optional  
Jumper J2 connects the COMP RATIO SET pin to ground and  
sets the SSM2166 for no compression (that is, compression ratio  
= 1:1). Optional Jumper J3 connects the POWER DOWN (Pin  
12) input to ground for normal operation. J3 can be replaced by  
an open-drain logic buffer for a digitally controlled shutdown  
function. An output signal mute function can be implemented  
There are no blocking capacitors either on the input or at  
the output of the buffer. As a result, the output dc level of the  
buffer matches the output dc level of the SSM2166, which is  
approximately 2.3 V. A dc blocking capacitor can be inserted at  
Pin 6 and Pin 7. An evaluation board and setup procedure  
is available from a Analog Devices, Inc., sales representative.

EVALUATION BOARD EXAMPLES  
To illustrate how easy it is to program the SSM2166, a practical  
example is provided. The SSM2166 was used to interface an  
electret-type microphone to a postamplifier. The evaluation  
board or the circuit configuration shown in Figure 26 can be  
used. The signal from the microphone was measured under  
actual conditions to vary from 1 mV to 15 mV. The postamplifier  
requires no more than 500 mV at its input. The required gain  
from the SSM2166 is, therefore  
G
TOTAL = 20 × log(500/15) = 30 dB  
The input buffer gain is set to 20 dB, and the VCA gain is adjusted  
to 10 dB. The limiting or rotation point is set at 500 mV output.  
A 2:1 compression ratio and a noise gate threshold that operates  
below 100 μV is also used. These objectives are summarized in  
Table 5. The transfer characteristic implemented is illustrated in  
Figure 30.

Note that the SSM2166 processes the output of the buffer, which  
in the previous example is 20 dB or 10 times the input level. Use  
the oscilloscope to verify that the buffer is not being driven into  
clipping with excessive input signals. In the application, take the  
minimum gain in the buffer consistent with the average source  
level as well as the crest factor (ratio of peak to rms).  
Step 2: Initializing Potentiometers  
With the power off, preset the potentiometers per Table 6.  
Step 3: Testing Setup  
With the power on, adjust the generator for an input level of  
15 mV, 1 kHz. The output meter should indicate approximately  
100 mV; if not, check the setup.  
ROTATION POINT  
Step 4: Adjusting the Rotation Point  
Set the input level to 15 mV and observe the output on the  
oscilloscope. Adjust R3, ROTATION PT ADJ, until the output  
level just begins to drop, then reverse so that the output is 500 mV.

adjust R6, COMP RATIO ADJ, CW until the output is 160 mV for  
an output change of −10 dB. The compression, which is the  
ratio of the output change to the input change, in decibels (dB),  
has been set to 2:1.

EVALUATION BOARD SETUP PROCEDURE  
When building a breadboard, keep the leads to Pin 3, Pin 4, and  
Pin 5 short. An evaluation board is available from an Analog  
Devices sales representative. The R and C designations refer to  
the demonstration board schematic of Figure 26 and the parts  
list in Table 7.  
Step 7: Setting the Noise Gate  
With the input set at 100 μV, observe the output on the oscilloscope  
and adjust R7, NOISE GATE ADJ, CCW until the output drops  
rapidly. Rock the control back and forth to find the knee. The  
noise gate has been set to 100 μV. The range of the noise gate is  
from 0.3 mV to over 0.5 mV relative to the output of the buffer.  
To fit this range to the application, it may be necessary to attenuate  
the input or apportion the buffer gain and VCA gain differently.  
TEST EQUIPMENT SETUP  
The recommended equipment and configuration are shown in  
Figure 31. A low noise audio generator with a smooth output  
adjustment range of 50 μV to 50 mV is a suitable signal source.  
A 40 dB pad is useful to reduce the level of most generators by  
100× to simulate the microphone levels. The input voltmeter  
can be connected before the pad and need only go down to  
10 mV. The output voltmeter should go up to 2 V. The oscilloscope  
is used to verify that the output is sinusoidal and that no clipping  
occurs in the buffer, and to set the limiting and noise gating  
knees.  
Step 8: Listening  
At this time, it may be desirable to connect an electret micro-  
phone to the SSM2166 and listen to the results. Be sure to include  
the proper power for the internal FET of the microphone  
(usually 2 V dc to 5 V dc through a 2.2 kΩ resistor). Experiment  
with the settings to hear how the results change. Varying the  
averaging capacitor, C4, changes the attack and decay times,  
which are best determined empirically. The compression ratio  
keeps the output steady over a range of microphone to speaker  
distances, and the noise gate keeps the background sounds  
subdued.

Step 1: Configure the Buffer  
Step 9: Recording Values  
The SSM2166 has an input buffer that can be used when the  
overall gain required exceeds 20 dB, the maximum user-selectable  
gain of the VCA. In the example, the desired output is 500 mV  
for an input of ~15 mV, requiring a total gain of 30 dB. Set the  
buffer gain at 20 dB and adjust the VCA for 10 dB. In the socket  
pins provided on the evaluation board, insert R1 = 100 kΩ and  
R2 = 11 kΩ. The buffer gain is set to 20 dB (×10).  
With the power removed from the test fixture, measure and  
record the values of all potentiometers, including any fixed  
resistance in series with them. If the averaging capacitor, C4,  
changes, also note its value.

10× the input level. Use the oscilloscope to ensure that the  
buffer is not being driven into clipping with the highest expected  
input peaks. Always take the minimum gain in the buffer consis-  
tent with the average source level and crest factor (ratio of peak  
to rms). The wide program range of the SSM2166 makes it  
useful in many applications other than microphone signal  
conditioning.  
SETUP SUMMARY  
The transfer condition of Figure 2 has been implemented. For  
inputs below the 100 ꢀV noise gate threshold, circuit and back-  
ground noise is minimized. Above it, the output increases at a  
rate of 1 dB for each 2 dB input increase until the 500 mV rotation  
point is reached at an input of approximately 15 mV. For higher  
inputs that drive the output beyond 500 mV, limiting occurs  
and there is little further increase. The SSM2166 processes the  
output of the buffer, which in the previous example is 20 dB, or
