    摘要: A voltage-controlled amplifier employs an operational amplifier with negative feedback for setting the gain. A voltage variable resistance such as a junction-field-effect transistor (JFET) is employed as part of a variable voltage divider for controlling the amplifier gain. Resistors in series and in parallel with the JFET determine minimum and maximum resistances corresponding to upper and lower limits for the amplifier gain. Thus, multiple channels of an amplifier can be provided with closely matched characteristics even using separate JFETs in each separate channel which have unmatched characteristics.

    摘要: A multichannel amplifier employs field-effect transistors to vary the gain of operational amplifiers in each respective channel. Gain matching of the respective channels is obtained by providing each channel with a respective DC bias voltage which compensates for differences in pinch-off voltage of the field-effect transistors. The invention permits the use of inexpensive, unmatched JFETs in the amplifier. Close gain tracking achieves very accurate stereo imaging in an audio system.
