Description
The seven band graphic equalizer IC is a CMOS chip
that divides the audio spectrum into seven bands,
63Hz, 160Hz, 400Hz, 1kHz, 2.5kHz, 6.25kHz and
16kHz. The seven frequencies are peak detected
and multiplexed to the output to provide a DC repre-
sentation of the amplitude of each band. No external
components are needed to select the filter respons-
es. Only an off chip resistor and capacitor are
needed to select the on chip clock oscillator fre-
quency. The filter center frequencies track this fre-
quency.
Other than coupling and decoupling capacitors, no
other external components are needed. The chip
supply can be between 2.7 and 5.5 volts with 5 volts
providing the best performance. The device has
very low quiescent current ( less than 1mA typical)
for portable audio devices. The multiplexor is con-
trolled by a reset and a strobe, permitting multi-
plexor readout with only two pins. The multiplexor
readout rate also controls the decay time (10% de-
cay per read), so no external pins are needed for this
function.
