TT Semiconductor 4315 Low-cost Low-voltage Analog Engine®

	TT Semiconductor 4315 equivalent block diagram

The TT Semiconductor 4315 is a single-chip Analog Engine optimized for low-voltage, low-power operation. Incorporating a high-performance Blackmer® voltage- controlled amplifier (VCA), RMS-level sensor, that is aimed at low power or battery-operated  applications such as wireless microphones or low power sensor instruments. The 4315 operates from a single supply voltage down to +4.5 Vdc, drawing only 1.6 mA.

This IC also works at supply voltages up to 16 Vdc, making it useful in line-operated products as well. The VCA is pre-trimmed at wafer stage to deliver low distortion without further adjustment.

The part was developed specifically for use as a companding noise reduction system, drawing from the Audio Industry's long history and experience with dbx® technology for noise reduction. However, with 11 active pins, the part is extremely flexible and can be configured for a wide range of applications including single and multi-band companders, compressors, limiters, AGCs, de-essers, etc.
