CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the SSM2164 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.

Varying the control voltage VC, steers the signal current from
one side of each differential pair to the other, resulting in either
gain or attenuation. For example, a positive voltage on VC
steers more current through Q1 and Q4 and decreases the
current in Q2 and Q3. The current output pin, IOUT, is connected to the collector of Q3 and the current mirror (Q6) from
Q2. With less current flowing through these two transistors, less
current is available at the output. Thus, a positive VC attenuates
the input and a negative VC amplifies the input. The VCA has
unity gain for a control voltage of 0.0 V where the signal current
is divided equally between the gain core differential pairs.

a low cutoff frequency. The main exception to this is in
dynamic processing applications, where faster attack or decay
times may be needed.
but higher noise, and the opposite is true for less current. The
increased noise is due to higher current noise in the gain core
transistors as their operating current is increased. THD has the
opposite relationship to collector current. The lower distortion
is due to the decrease in the gain core transistors emitter
impedance as their operating current increases.

If additional SSM2164s are added, the 100 pF capacitor may
need to be increased to ensure stability of the output amplifier.
Most op amps are sensitive to capacitance on their inverting
inputs. The capacitance forms a pole with the feedback resistor,
which reduces the high frequency phase margin. As more
SSM2164s are added to the mixer circuit, their output capacitance and the parasitic trace capacitance add, increasing the
overall input capacitance. Increasing the feedback capacitor will
maintain the stability of the output amplifier.

Since both parts are current output devices, the output configuration is nearly identical, except that the 10 k resistors should
be increased to 30 k to operate the SSM2164 in its optimum
range. The 10 k input resistor for the SSM2024 should also
be increased to 30 k to match the output resistor. Additionally, the 200 resistor should be replaced by a 500 resistor in
series with 560 pF for the SSM2164 circuit.
One last change is the control port configuration. The
SSM2024s control input is actually a current input. Thus, a
resistor was needed to change the control voltage to a current.
This resistor should be removed for the SSM2164 to provide a
direct voltage input. In addition, the SSM2024 has a log/log
control relationship in contrast to the SSM2164s linear/log gain
constant. The linear input is actually much easier to control,
but the difference may necessitate adjusting a SSM2024 based
circuits control voltage gain curve. By making these relatively
simple changes, the superior performance of the SSM2164 can
easily be realized.
