< 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 CMR Ratio in Dual JFETs Introduction When choosing the optimal JFET for a new circuit, a characteristic often overlooked is how the part’s design affects the rejection of unwanted inputs while amplifying the signal as accurately as possible. Single JFETs provide excellent impedance matching and low-noise amplification, but lack one important quality of their dual counterparts – dual discrete devices largely reject common signals. This important characteristic – Common Mode Rejection – means that selecting the right dual JFET can be the most cost-effective way of improving signal-to-noise ratio in a design. Read More

< Back Designing Audio Circuits and Systems Linear Systems Jul 25, 2024 Exploring Phono Preamp Circuits with Bob Cordell’s New Book At Linear Systems, we are always on the lookout for innovative and educational resources to share with our community of designers and engineers. This Friday, we are thrilled to spotlight a phono preamp circuit from our friend Bob Cordell’s excellent new book, “Designing Audio Circuits and Systems.” Bob Cordell is a respected authority in the field of audio electronics, and his latest book is a treasure trove of knowledge for anyone interested in audio circuit design. The book is packed with detailed explanations, practical insights, and a wide range of circuits that cater to both beginners and seasoned designers. One of the standout chapters for us is Chapter 15, which delves into the design of moving magnet phono preamps. Phono preamps are essential for amplifying the signal from a turntable to a level that can be processed by a standard audio system. The moving magnet preamp circuit featured in Chapter 15 is not only a fantastic educational tool but also a highly practical design for anyone looking to enhance their vinyl listening experience. To bring this design to life, we captured the schematic in QSPICE, our go-to tool for electronic circuit simulation. QSPICE allows us to create accurate simulations, enabling designers to tweak and optimize their circuits with ease. With just a few clicks, you can dive into simulations and start experimenting with the design parameters to see how they affect the performance of the preamp. Whether you are an audio enthusiast, a professional designer, or someone with a keen interest in electronics, Bob Cordell’s book and this phono preamp circuit offer a wealth of knowledge and a fun project to work on. We highly recommend adding “Designing Audio Circuits and Systems” to your library and exploring the many circuits it has to offer. Stay tuned for more exciting designs and insights from Linear Systems. Happy designing!
