Lm13720 < SAFE × RELEASE >
's datasheet is packed with circuits that make it perfect for creative audio processing: 1. Voltage-Controlled Amplifier (VCA)
) of the amplifier—in simple terms, you can control the gain of the chip using a voltage. Key Features of the LM13700
Built-in Darlington buffers allow for easy conversion of output current into voltage, complementing the amplifier's dynamic range. Gmcap G sub m Adjustable Over 6 Decades: Extremely flexible gain control. Common LM13700 Application Circuits lm13720
These integrated diodes reduce distortion, allowing higher input signal levels—crucial for audio quality.
) pin. By injecting a small current into this pin, you control the transconductance ( Gmcap G sub m 's datasheet is packed with circuits that make
The core of many compressors, limiters, and synth modules, a VCA allows you to control the amplitude of a signal with a control voltage (CV). 2. Voltage-Controlled Filter (VCF)
can be used to build resonant low-pass, high-pass, or band-pass filters where the cutoff frequency is swept by a CV. 3. Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) By controlling the charging current of a capacitor, the Gmcap G sub m Adjustable Over 6 Decades:
can generate sine, triangle, and sawtooth waves for analog synthesizers. 4. Audio Compressors/Sustainers
