Description
The THAT 202XT, 202XTC and 202R2 modu-
lar voltage-controlled amplifiers (VCAs) are ex-
tremely high performance current-in/current-out
devices with negative-sense control ports. Intended
for the most demanding of applications, these parts
require almost no external support circuitry and
are packaged on small, 1" X 2" circuit boards. Their
pin configurations are identical to that of the origi-
nal dbx 202 VCA, as well as later dbx models 202C,
202X, 202XL and 2001. The 202XTC has a control
constant of 20dB/Volt, and is internally tempera-
ture compensated for very low thermal drift. The
202XTC is recommended for all new designs. The
202XT is intended to replace a dbx 202C, 202X or
202XL in designs where control-voltage tempera-
ture compensation was provided externally. Like
the 202C, -X and -XL, the 202XT has a control con-
stant of 20dB/Volt, with a predictable +0.33%/C
temperature drift. The 202R is intended to replace
the original dbx 202. The 202R matches the dbx
202's control sensitivity of 6mV/dB and its predict-
able +0.33%/C temperature drift
