The ICs are pin compatible with the Analog Devices SSM01 in both the -pin DIP and 16-pin SOIC packages. The THAT11 follows a different gain equation than the 110, but exhibits significantly lower noise at lower gain settings and is recommended for new designs. Designed from the ground up in THAT's complementary bipolar, dielectric isolation Description process, the THAT 110 and 11 improve on existing integrated microphone preamps by offering lower noise at low gains, better distortion characteristics, lower power consumption, higher slew rate and bandwidth, and increased output voltage swing. The parts are fully protected against ESD on all critical pins, and reliability is further enhanced by their reduced power requirements. In short, the THAT 110 and 11 provide superior performance in a popular format at an affordable price. +1 +1 (10k) (10k) - + Pin Name DIP SO16 1 1 4 3 V- 4 10 6 11 13 1 Table 1. 110 / 11 pin assignments 1 Gain Equation DIP- SO16 k G 1 10 110P 110S V- k G 0. 11P 11S Figure 1.

Typical 110 / 11 Circuit with Phantom Power tempco of the internal resistors (±0 ppm/ C typical). Noise Performance Thoughtful design results in these devices having significantly lower noise at low gains than similar IC microphone preamps. At zero db gain, equivalent input noise of the THAT 110 is nv/hz, nearly 6 db better than competitive IC designs. The unusual topology of the THAT 11 results in an equivalent input noise of 34 nv/hz at zero db gain, which makes it comparable to some of the better discrete designs currently available. At 1 khz, the equivalent input noise for both devices is 1 nv/hz at 60 db gain. Inputs Protection diodes are employed at all pins except and V- of the THAT 110/11. These diodes reduce the likelihood of accidental ESD/EOS damage to the IC. Other diodes across the base-emitter junctions of the input transistors prevent reverse bias of these junctions and consequent degradation of their noise performance. The inputs of the THAT 110 and11's are floating, so a dc bias connection is required to maintain the inputs within the IC's input common-mode range. Four different schemes are shown in Figures, 3, 4, and. Note that the values of and R in these figures should be kept small to minimize pickup of unwanted noise and interference. A value of 1 k is often used, since some microphones require a differential input impedance of this magnitude. Unfortunately, one would usually desire a significantly higher common mode input impedance to minimize the common mode degradation caused by unbalanced source impedances. Figure shows a technique which allows higher common mode input impedance while maintaining a lower differential source impedance. erence Terminal The "" pin provides the reference for the output signal, and is normally connected to analog ground. If necessary, the "" pin can be used for offset correction or DC level shifting. A non-zero reference source resistance will reduce the IC's common-mode rejection (CMR) by the ratio of 10 k/r REF. Phantom Power Phantom power is required for condensor microphones. A phantom power circuit is shown in Figure 4. Diodes D1 through D6 are necessary to protect the THAT 110/11 from transient voltages

Preferred 110 / 11 Circuit with Multiple Phantom Power that may occur when microphones are connected or disconnected. While figure 4 shows a protection scheme that reflects the current industry practice, a better solution is shown in figure. Like figure 4, this circuit uses a diode bridge (composed of very fast s), but in this case, the diodes are connected directly to the Package Information power supply rails. While this arrangement doesn't keep the inputs inside the common mode range, it has the advantage of working even when the power is off.
