< Back AEA Linear Systems Mar 17, 2023 AEA’s Ribbon Microphones & Linears’ JFETs AEA When John Kurlander sought to capture the vast array of sound for the Lord of the Rings movies, he turned to Wes Dooley and his ribbon microphones. And for years, when Wes needed ultra-low-noise semiconductors to build and amplify those microphones, he turned to Linear Systems, Inc. “Linear Systems has kept that tradition going of making parts that are competitive with the [discontinued Toshiba] SK170s and 389s,” Dooley said in a recent interview. “And that gives us the ability to make compact, high-performance audio products.” “We make the quietest ribbon mic in the world, the A440, and the higher SPL A840. Both of them use the [Linear Systems] LSK389, for the output drivers and their current supply,” Dooley said. Dooley's company, Audio Engineering Associates (AEA), also uses the LSK389 in front ends of its RPQ and RPQ 500 preamplifiers, which were designed for use with ribbon microphones. AEA's microphone business started with ribbon mics for classical music used as movie scores. “John Kurlander did all three Lord of the Rings using AEA mics on strings left and right almost as strong in the mix as the main orchestra mics,” Dooley said. “When you work with such people, one really learns to be of service.” AEA's customer list reads like a Who's Who of Grammy and Academy Award-winning recording engineers and artists. Among the many examples, sound engineer Michael Bishop, winner of eight Grammy awards, extensively uses AEA's A840 microphones and AEA preamps for his recordings. Shawn Murphy, who's worked on over 330 films and won an Academy award for Jurassic Park, also relies on AEA's preamps and microphones. One of the best parts of AEA's website is the long list of reviews and mentions by users . Dooley, a lifelong ribbon microphone enthusiast and developer, got into the business by repairing ribbon mics built by RCA during the golden age of radio. “We started servicing mics in '76 when RCA shut down making them,” he said. “Many of our favorite RCA designs were from the mid '30s, when a designer's foremost tool was listening to live music. Critical listening was the gold standard as acoustical measurements were cumbersome.” “We've adopted that approach, which is: musicality trumps metrics. The mic has to sound good to people in the music business,” Dooley said. “If it doesn't sound good, measurements don't matter. Once you have a mic that sounds good to people who have experienced ears, then measurements are very important, as they are the key to consistent production.” “So we first strive to make sure it sounds musical, and then we measure what it does,” Dooley said. “Because, as one of my mentors, Richard Heyser, said, if it measures well but doesn't sound right, then you're measuring the wrong things. Often you find you don't know what the right thing to measure is. Over time you discover what those metrics might be. Ultimately, it's a matter of how it sounds. Since we come from an acoustic music tradition, it's pretty simple: you put the mic in front of live music, and compare that live sound with the reproduction, to see how close it is.” Dooley told the story of working with legendary bluegrass fiddle player/violinist Richard Greene. Greene, along with his wife, a violinist with the LA Chamber Orchestra, recorded samples using over 20 microphones. “The next day, when they had 'fresh ears,' they listened to all the recordings and said the one made using our ribbon microphones was the best,” Dooley said. “And that's what we try for, for the musicians to experience that this is the closest they've ever heard to an actual performance.” Asked to comment for this article, Greene had high praise for Dooley and his microphones. “Silky, smooth, best violin sound I ever heard, Wes is amazing and his tech support and other free maintenance are over the top,” Greene wrote. “I will never have any use for any other mic on my violin. I have the AEA 440.” Dooley said this close interaction with artists drives how he builds microphones and preamps. “The whole thing,” he said, “is to build tools they need. That is the key to survival for a small business doing high-performance products.” The LSK389 “is a very good part for manufacturing,” Dooley said. AEA uses the “C” grade of the LSK389. “We started with the 'A' [grade], but then we realized it didn't make any difference for what we were doing,” he said. The LSK389 is graded by IDSS ; all three grades have the same ultra-low-noise characteristics. The Linear Systems LSK389 part used by AEA is an ultra-low-noise junction field effect transistor. Linear System Founder and CEO John H. Hall began working on a JFET similar to Toshiba's 2SK389 about the time that the Japanese company began to discontinue the device 10 years ago. “Toshiba kept its production process for the 389 secret, so we had to figure out on our own how to build something to the same specification, which was extremely difficult,” Hall said. Expertise brought to Linear Systems is based on processes and products Hall developed since 1962 at Amelco, Union Carbide, Intersil, and Micro Power Systems. Hall, a protégé of Silicon Valley legend Dr. Jean Hoerni, was the director of IC Development at Union Carbide, co-founder and vice president of R&D at Intersil, and founder/president of Micro Power Systems. Much of Linear Systems' current development work focuses on lower-noise JFETs. The production techniques Hall conceived to squeeze the last bit of noise out of the 389 led to development of another part, the LSK489. The LSK489 has less transconductance than the 389, and though this increases noise slightly, it makes the part easier to design into new circuits. “While the 389 is the perfect part for some users, such as Wes Dooley, who need the lowest noise levels in existence, we found that the high gate-to-drain capacitance of the 389 caused problems for some of our other customers,” Hall said. “Building a high transconductance part, such as the 389, formed part of the basis for providing ultra-low-noise levels, but the high input capacitance causes intermodulation distortion in some higher-frequency applications,” Hall said. “Since we had created some advanced processing techniques to make the 389, we decided to go back and look at creating a part with lower capacitance using the same processes.” Though Dooley's ribbon microphone and other devices take advantage of the 389's low noise level, other developers could tolerate a slightly higher noise level in a part that has much lower input capacitance due to a lower transconductance, Hall said. The lower capacitance and other features make the LSK489 a lower-noise, functional replacement for Linear Systems' LS840-series of JFETs, as well as the Siliconix U401-403 series. Dooley's precision ribbon microphones are perfect applications of the LSK389, Hall said. “Both ribbon microphones and JFETs are very difficult to design and build, but there's really no other way to achieve the level of performance needed than to do the work this way.” The circuit design work using the LSK389s was done for AEA by Fred Forssell of http://www.forsselltech.com .

< Back FAST SAMPLE AND HOLD Linear Systems Jun 10, 2024 In this interesting design, a strobe pulse sets the sample mode. Here's how it works: When the strobe pulse s —Strobe pulse will turn on JFET Q1 which allows the signal to be sampled to charge capacitor C1. When the strobe pulse returns to 0 V, JFET Q1 is turned off and capacitor C1 holds the voltage value of the sampled signal plus the offset voltage of MOSFET Q 2. The JFET used could be anyone of Linear Integrated Systems switch JFETs. Ideally the lower the drain -to-source voltage the better to reduce the offset voltage of the JFET. The output signal decays at a rate of 1 mV/s. From logic input of 531 op-amp IC2 turns on JFET Q1 to complete feedback loop to IC1, Q1, and Q2. Capacitor C1 charges to voltage equal to that of input signal plus gate-to-source offset voltage of Q2. At end of strobe time, feedback loop is broken and C1 holds voltage until time of next strobe pulse. Decay in output voltage between samplings is 1 mV/s.—"Signetics Analog Data Manual," Signetics, Sunnyvale, CA, 1977, p 643-644.

< Back What are Current Regulating Diodes Linear Systems Oct 7, 2024 Current regulating diodes, also known as constant current diodes or current limiting diodes, are electronic components that control the amount of electrical current flowing through a circuit. They work by maintaining a constant voltage across themselves despite changes in the load resistance. Current Regulating Diodes Current regulating diodes, also known as constant current diodes or current limiting diodes, are electronic components that control the amount of electrical current flowing through a circuit. They work by maintaining a constant voltage across themselves despite changes in the load resistance. How do they work? A standard diode allows current to flow freely in one direction and blocks it in the other direction. In contrast, a current regulating diode has a larger depletion region and a lower reverse breakdown voltage, which allows for more precise control of the current flow. When used in series with a load, the current regulating diode maintains a stable voltage drop across itself by varying its own resistance depending on the current flow. This means that as the load resistance changes, the voltage drop across the diode remains constant and therefore maintains a consistent current flow. Applications Current regulating diodes are commonly used in circuits where stable and precise current control is necessary, such as in LED lighting systems, battery charging circuits, and laser diode drivers. They can also be used as protection devices to limit the amount of current flowing through sensitive components. In addition, these diodes are often utilized in adjustable power supplies to regulate the output current and prevent damage to connected devices. Types of Current Regulating Diodes There are two main types of current regulating diodes: Zener diodes and avalanche diodes. Zener diodes operate in the reverse breakdown region, where they maintain a constant voltage despite changes in current flow. This makes them ideal for use as voltage regulators. Avalanche diodes, on the other hand, operate in the avalanche breakdown region and are used for higher voltage applications. They have a steeper current-voltage characteristic compared to Zener diodes, allowing for more precise control of the current flow. Advantages and Disadvantages The main advantage of using current regulating diodes is their ability to provide stable and accurate current control without the need for additional external components. This saves space and simplifies circuit design. However, one disadvantage is that these diodes can be sensitive to changes in temperature, which can affect their current regulation capabilities. In addition, they have a limited maximum current handling capacity, so they may not be suitable for high power applications. Conclusion In conclusion, current regulating diodes are essential components in many electronic circuits where precise and stable current control is necessary. They come in various types and offer advantages such as simplicity of use and compact size. However, care must be taken when using these diodes to ensure proper operation under different conditions. With continued advancements in technology, it is likely that we will see further improvements and developments in the field of current regulating diodes. So next time you encounter a circuit that requires precise current control, consider using a current regulating diode to achieve optimal performance. With their unique properties and benefits, these diodes are sure to play a significant role in the future of electronics. With the ever-growing demand for more efficient and reliable electronic devices, it is important to have a thorough understanding of different electronic components such as current regulating diodes. By having knowledge about their operation, advantages and limitations, you can make informed decisions when designing circuits for various applications. So keep exploring and learning about these fascinating components and discover new ways to incorporate them into your designs.

< Back Solving the Noise Puzzle Introduction Noise is one of the more important aspects of circuit design. Lower noise in audio amplifier design means better quality audio. Low-noise in instrument design means more reliable and accurate measurements at lower voltage and current levels. And low-noise in current source designs means less noise injected into the electronic system. One of the most basic approaches to reduce noise in an amplifier is to use low-noise components. This would include low-noise bipolar transistors and low-valued resistors. Although one can use low-noise operational amplifiers in the design of low-noise circuits or low-noise current sources it is often not done. This is because lower noise can be often be obtained with a well-thought out discrete design. And that’s because discrete transistors offer much more design customization capability for specific circuit applications – like optimized collector biasing. One must remember that monolithic chip designs are built for the most part for general purpose applications. It is hard to tailor a specific op amp or current source chip for a specific source resistance, specific power consumption requirement and a specific bandwidth that will lower the overall noise – that is unless you add-on more compensation components.
