Trimless Voltage Controlled Amplifiers
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAMS
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONThe SSM2018T and SSM2118T represent continuing evolu-
tion of the Frey Operational Voltage Controlled Element
(OVCE) topology that permits flexibility in the design of high
performance volume control systems. Voltage (SSM2018T)
and differential current (SSM2118T) output versions are of-
fered, both laser-trimmed for gain core symmetry and offset. As
a result, the SSM2018T is the first professional audio quality
VCA to offer trimless operation. The SSM2118T is ideal for
low noise summing in large VCA based systems.
Due to careful gain core layout, the SSM2018T/SSM2118T
combine the low noise of Class AB topologies with the low dis-
tortion of Class A circuits to offer an unprecedented level of
sonic transparency. Additional features include differential in-
puts, a 140dB gain range, and a high impedance control port.
The SSM2018T provides an internal current-to-voltage con-
verter; thus no external active components are required. The
SSM2118T has fully differential current outputs that permit
high noise-immunity summing of multiple channels.
Both devices are offered in 16-pin plastic DIP and SOIC pack-
ages and guaranteed for operation over the extended industrial
temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.

1Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause
permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the
operation section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maxi-
mum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.θJA is specified for worst-case conditions, i.e., θJA is specified for device in socket
for P-DIP and device soldered in circuit board for SOIC package.

CAUTIONESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the SSM2018T/SSM2118T features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent
damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper
ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
