Alfa Rpar - AS3363D - Three Channel VCA (voltage polarizer)

Product information "Alfa Rpar - AS3363D - Three Channel VCA (voltage polarizer)"
AS3363 contains three VCA blocks, which are intended for use in musical synthesizer applications (VCA blocks, voltage polarizer, multiplexers, morphing, ring modulators etc.). VCA1 and VCA2 implement function of controlling amplification and sign of output signal (voltage polarizing - changing sign and amplitude through “silence”). Additional control input controls attenuation of output current - thus realizing function of double multiplication input signal on two control signals. VCA3 block has additional feature – possibility of control/mixing of two input signals.
Such solution gives vast opportunities in designing new synth solutions.

Features:
• three VCA blocks with a wide range of functions containing three 4-quadrant multipliers and 3 2-quadrant multipliers
• two linear controls for each VCA
• simple signal mixing
• can combine high impedance outputs
• provides high attenuation (-100 dB)
• simplifies multiplexer design
• low current consumption of 3 mA typ at ±12V

Applications:
• for electronic music

Safety Instructions for Electronic and Mechanical Components

Intended Use:
• Electronic components, including potentiometers, knobs, switches, connectors, resistors, capacitors or integrated circuits (ICs), are designed for use in electronic circuits and devices.
• Use these components only for their intended purposes in electrical and electronic applications, according to their specified voltage, current, and environmental conditions.
• Any use outside the intended applications may result in malfunction or safety risks.


Handling and Installation

Installation:
• Handle electronic components with appropriate tools, such as tweezers, to avoid physical damage or exposure to electric shock.
• Ensure that the components are installed in the correct orientation and according to manufacturer specifications to avoid malfunction or damage to the circuit.

Storage:
• Store components in a dry, cool, and static-free environment to avoid damage from moisture, extreme temperatures, or electrostatic discharge (ESD).
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight, which could affect component stability and performance.

Protection from Static Electricity:
• Use antistatic equipment (e.g., wrist straps, ESD mats) when handling electronic components to prevent electrostatic discharge, which can damage sensitive devices like ICs.

Compatibility:
• Make sure electronic components are compatible with the circuit in terms of voltage, current, and other technical specifications.


Warnings

Electrical Shock Hazard:
• Some components can retain charge even when disconnected. Use appropriate tools and take precautions when handling components to minimize the risk of electric shock.

Burn or Fire Risk:
• Overloading or misusing electronic components may result in overheating, which could lead to burning or fires. Ensure that components are used within their specified voltage and current ratings.

Danger from Misuse:
• Incorrect handling or use outside specified limits can damage the components or affect the performance and functionality of connected devices. Only use components within their specified tolerances and conditions.

Choking Hazard:
• Small electronic components can pose a choking hazard if swallowed. Keep components out of reach of children.
