< Back LSJ689 Press Release Linear Systems Mar 17, 2023 Ultra Low Noise P-Channel Dual JFET NEWS RELEASE CONTACT: Linear Integrated Systems, Inc. 510-490-9160 sales@linearsystems.com LINEAR INTEGRATED SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES ULTRA LOW NOISE P-CHANNEL DUAL JFET Fremont, California – June 1, 2016 – Linear Integrated Systems, a leading full-service manufacturer of specialty linear semiconductors, announces the immediate availability of its LSJ689, a 1.8 nV/Hz @ 1kHz, low-capacitance, monolithic dual P-Channel JFET. The LSJ689 serves as the P-Channel complement to the popular monolithic dual N-Channel JFET, the LSK489. This addition to Linear Systems' family of Ultra-Low-Noise JFETs provides designers with expanded options beyond traditional N-Channel JFETs. The monolithic dual construction of the LSJ689 and LSK489 offers superior solutions for tighter Idss (drain-source saturation current) matching and improved thermal tracking compared to using individually matched JFETs. As the availability of P-Channel JFETs has declined, complementary single N-Channel and P-Channel JFETs have become increasingly limited to a few industry standards. In response, Linear Systems developed the LSK170 and LSJ74 families, providing complementary N & P-Channel single JFETs. Now, the LSJ689 and LSK489 monolithic dual JFETs provide further design flexibility, with significantly lower capacitance—4 pF versus the 25 pF of LSK170 and LSJ74. The LSJ689 and LSK489 are well-suited for differential input stages in amplifier, phono, and preamplifier designs. Additional applications include voltage-controlled resistors, thermal stable source followers, sample and hold circuits, and current matched sources. The LSJ689 is available in RoHS-compliant SOT-23 6L, SOIC-A 8L, and TO-71 6L package options. The SOT-23 6L and SOIC-A 8L packages are ideal for space-constrained circuits in audio and instrumentation applications. Key Features: - Complement to the Ultra Low Noise Monolithic Dual N-Channel JFET LSK489 - Ultra Low Noise (typically 1.8 nV/Hz @ 1kHz) - Nearly Zero Popcorn Noise - Idss (drain-source saturation current) matching to 10% max - Low Offset/Tight Matching (|Vgs1 - Vgs2| = 20mV max) - Low Capacitance (Ciss = 4 pF) - High Input Impedance - High Breakdown Voltage (BVGSS = 40V Min) - Monolithic Dual (2 JFETs on one piece of silicon, offering better matching and thermal tracking) - Available in Surface Mount SOIC-A 8L and compact SOT-23 6L packages - Lead-free/RoHS Compliant Applications: - Microphone Amplifiers, Phono Preamplifiers, Audio Amplifiers, and Preamps - Discrete Low-Noise Operational Amplifiers - Battery-Operated Audio Preamps - Audio Mixer Consoles, Acoustic Sensors, Sonic Imaging - Instrumentation Amplifiers - Wideband Differential Amplifiers - High-Speed Comparators - Impedance Converters - Voltage-Controlled Resistors, Sample and Hold, Source Followers Availability: Sampling now in SOIC-A 8L, TO-71 6L, and SOT-23 6L package options.

< Back LS26VPS/VNS Press Release Linear Systems Mar 17, 2023 New JFET Voltage-Controlled Resistors NEWS RELEASE FOR INFORMATION CONTACT: Linear Systems, Inc. Sales Department Phone: (510) 490-9160 Email: sales@linearsystems.com Build lower-voltage, lower-power circuits using Linear Systems' industry-leading voltage-controlled resistors. Linear Systems has expanded its family of JFET Voltage-Controlled Resistors (VCRs) for reduced-power circuits over IC-based devices. Two new additions to the JFET Voltage-Controlled Resistor Family include the LS26VNS, a Single N-Channel JFET VCR, and the LS26VPS, a Single P-Channel JFET VCR. Both the N and P-channel versions are made from the same die geometry, making them complementary. They join the existing VCR11N, a Dual N-Channel VCR. The advantages of using VCRs for voltage-controlled amplifier or voltage-controlled gain systems include: - VCR-based devices operate with lower voltage and power consumption, enabling battery-powered systems to last significantly longer. - VCR JFETs can be used with low-power op amps to provide a low-power solution for voltage-controlled gain systems. - With low voltage op amps such as the LMV358 or TLC272, VCR JFETs perform voltage-controlled gain at extremely low supply voltages, down to a single 3.3V power supply. Circuits can be designed for very low power consumption when combined with low voltage, low power op amps. For instance, using an LSK389A as a VCR for these low voltage circuits can provide significant efficiency gains. - Matched pair JFET VCRs (VCR11N or LSK389A) can provide two identical channels of voltage-controlled gain, where the control voltage tracks both channels. This can be used in stereo audio signal attenuation. In contrast, typical active voltage-controlled amplifiers drain more current and require higher minimum power supply voltages, needing at least +/- 4 volts for a specialized voltage control amplifier integrated circuit. P-Channel JFETs, including a J177, can be designed as a VCR circuit with a single power supply. For example, the P-Channel JFET VCR circuit is ideal with positive supply voltages since its control voltage to the gate is also positive. Product Details: - LS26VNS N-Channel Single JFET VCR: Drain-source resistance is controlled by a DC bias voltage (VGS) applied to a high impedance gate terminal. Minimum RDS of 14 Ω occurs when VGS = -1.0V. As VGS approaches the pinch-off voltage of -6.0V, RDS rapidly increases to the maximum value of 38 Ω. - LS26VPS P-Channel Single JFET VCR: Drain-source resistance is controlled by a DC bias voltage (VGS) applied to a high impedance gate terminal. Minimum RDS of 20 Ω occurs when VGS = 3.0V. As VGS approaches the pinch-off voltage of 7.5V, RDS rapidly increases to the maximum value of 50 Ω. Summary of Features : - LS26VNS (N-Channel Single) - RDS(on) 14-38 Ω - BVgss 30 Volts - Available in TO-92 3L, SOT-23 3L, DFN 8L, and Bare Die options - LS26VPS (P-Channel Single) - RDS(on) 20-50 Ω - BVgss 30 Volts - Available in TO-92 3L, SOT-23 3L, DFN 8L, and Bare Die options Applications: - Variable Gain Controls - Voltage Controlled Oscillators - Signal Attenuators - Musical Effects Applications - Adaptive Analog Filters - Automatic Gain Control Circuits - Clock Generators - Compressors - Electrometers - Energy Harvesters - Expanders - Hearing Aids - Light Dimmers - Modulators - Mixers - Artificial Neural Networks - Programmable Gain Amplifiers - Phased Arrays - Phase Lock Loops - Phase Controlled Dimming Circuits - Phase Delay and Advance Circuits - Tunable Filters - Variable Attenuators - Voltage Controlled Multivibrators - Waveform Generators Pricing and Availability: - 1,000+ pieces of the LS26VNS and LS26VPS in the TO-92 3L, SOT-23 3L, and DFN 8L packages are priced at $1.23 (USD) each. - Production quantities are available now with delivery from factory stock to 8 weeks.
