Analog Devices SSM2166 Microphone Preamplifier Datasheet
The SSM2166 is a complete microphone conditioner designed for computer audio systems, public address systems, and communication headsets. It integrates a low-noise voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) that provides dynamic gain adjustment to maintain compression characteristics based on an external resistor setting.
Key features include adjustable noise gate thresholds, automatic limiting to prevent ADC overload, and a power-down feature. The device operates from a single +5 V supply and is available in 14-lead SOIC and P-DIP packages with guaranteed operation over the extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
