SSM2166 PIN DESCRIPTION Pin # Mnemonic Function 1 GND Ground 2 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 the compression pin (Pin 10) should be grounded for no com- pression. 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 kW . For 10 dB of fixed gain, the resistor value is approximately 2 kW –3␣ kW . For resistor

SSM2166 the rotation point may be varied from approximately 20 mV rms 1S 100mV to 1 V rms. From the figure, the rotation point is inversely propor- 100 6dBV tional to R . For example, a 1 kW resistor would typically ROT PT 90 set the rotation point at 1 V rms, whereas a 55 kW resistor would typically set the rotation point at approximately 30 mV rms. Since limiting occurs for signals larger than the rotation point 66dBV (V > V ), the rotation point effectively sets the maximum IN RP 10 output
