NE576

The NE576 is a kind of unity gain level programmable compandor designed for low power applications. It is internally configured as an expandor and a compressor to minimize external component count. It is available in a 14-pin plastic DIP and SO packages. The typical applications include: (1)cordless telephones; (2)consumer audio; (3)wireless microphones; (4)modems; (5)electric organs; (6)hearing aids; (7)automatic level control.

There are some features as follows: (1)operating voltage range: 1.8 to 7 V; (2)low power consumption (1.4 mA @ 3.6 V); (3)over 80 dB of dynamic range; (4)wide input/output swing capability (rail-to-rail); (5)low external component count; (6)ESD haroened.

The following is about the absolute maximum ratings: (1)VCC, supply voltage: 8 V; (2)TA, operating ambient temperature range: 0 to +70; (3)TSTG, storage temperature range: -65 to +150; (4)JA, thermal impedance: 90/W for DIP package and 125/W for SO package.
