The
KD2116 consists of four
closely
matched
npn transistors arranged in a pair
of Darlingtons. All collectors are common.
Production
techniques have improved
in
the
last few
years,
however,
and
about
two
years
ago
semiconductor manufac-
turers
came out
with
linear
IC's
(am-
plifiers,
etc.) ,
which, though
they
were
still relatively
expensive compared to dis-
crete
components, found great favor in
the communications industry.
Television
and
FM receiver manufacturers immedi-
ately began using IC's in their products.
Now
IC's are
found
in CB units and to an
increasing extent in
standard broadcast
receivers.
For
the average electronics experi-
menter, most of
the
linear
IC's available
(and they are
made by almost
all
of the
semiconductor
manufacturers)
are still
too
expensive
for
wide use -though
he
appreciates their superior
performance
characteristics and
high reliability. Times
are
still changing,
however, and it is
possible that
now the experimenter's
chance to use
IC's is at
hand. RCA now
has available at
its
distributors
a
Linear
Integrated Circuit
Variety
Pack
(KD-
2117)
for just
$4.40.
The pack
contains
five TO -5 -size
linear IC's : two
KD2114
transistor
arrays, two
KD2116 dual
-Dar-
lington arrays, and a
KD2115
audio am-
plifier. With the
IC's
comes
a
booklet
describing
12 basic
starter circuits that
are
not only good
in themselves, but
will
suggest
many others.
KD2116.
This 10 -lead
integrated circuit
consists
of
four
transistors
connected
to form two
independent
Darlington
pairs as shown
in
Fig. 1. The
closely
28
matched
transistors
with emitter
-fol-
lower outputs provide
very
low
noise
and a gain
-bandwidth product
in
excess
of
100 MHz.
Typical applications
for
this
IC
include
a stereo phono amplifier, a
low
-noise differential amplifier, an
opera-
tional- amplifier driver, and
low
-level ste-
reo
and
single
-channel stages.
In the ste-
reo
phono
application,
the KD2116 can
be mounted directly on the phono arm
near the cartridge; and,
because of the
low noise, high input impedance, and
low output
impedance,
minimum shield-
ing is
required from
the
pickup to the
amplifier.
The
buffering action
of the
KD2116 also
substantially reduces losses
and
decreases
hum
pickup.
One
typical audio circuit
is
shown in
Fig. 2. This two
-channel mixer combines
two
independent inputs into a single
output.
The input impedance is
approxi-
mately
4700 ohms,
while the
output im-
pedance
is
about
10,000
ohms. Conven-
tional
volume
controls
may
be added
ahead of the circuit to adjust the re-
quired
input levels.
KD2115.
A multi -purpose, multi -func-
tion
power amplifier, this
12 -lead inte-
grated
circuit
is
designed
for
use
in
portable or
fixed communication
equip-
ment.
The circuit, shown
in Fig.
3, in-
cludes a
voltage
regulator, a buffer stage,
a differential
amplifier and
phase
split -
ter, a driver,
and a power- output,
push -
pull
stage.
Although it can be used
for
a
number
of different
functions, the typical audio
