Reading the HUSH Circuit appl. notes (AD, SMM2000
www.analog.com/products/sheets/SSM2000.html) I came across one sentence :
Lowpass filters (or integrators 1/s) have fixed dc gain, so
control feedthrough and dc level shift can cause problems.
(So they use a differential ota with a differential 1/s stage,
so errors will cancel.)
Very true, I already had to notice such severe offset effects that
made it impossible to have a subaudio lowpassfilter for lag control
or random voltage control.
I thought maybe a switched capacitor filter would be better in this
case, but this causes other problems as propper scaling etc.
Now , Analog has meanwhile a vca with differential current outputs
(SSM2118T, just cut of the current to voltage converters of 2018T).
It would be possible to have a vca with differential current output,
feeding a "floating" cap differential 1/s stage thus having an improved
filter for audio and/or subaudio.
EEs out there : what do you think about this idea ?
What are the chances for achieving error cancelation ?
