Seven Band Graphic Equalizer
Data Sheet
5/2011
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.
