ALFA RPAR AS3320-DIL Voltage Controlled Filter (VCF) (DIL-18)

 Loading product data...

The ALFA RPAR AS3320 is a high performance voltage controlled four-pole filter with on-chip voltage controllable resonance IC. It is pin-for-pin compatible with the CEM3320.

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 greater than a ten octave range with little control voltage feedthrough.

Another input controls the resonance in a modified linear manner from zero to low distortion oscillation. For those demanding applications, provision has been made to allow trimming for improved control voltage rejection.

Each filter section features a variable gain cell which is fully temperature compensated, exhibits a better signal-to-noise ratio and generates its low distortion predominantly in the second harmonic. The device includes a -2V regulator to ensure low power dissipation and consequent low warm-up drift.
