[sdiy] SSM chip reissue

Tom,

 

Good question on the 2164.

 

I really haven't explored it in detail yet. I've seen LPF, SVF and Obie
Xpander filter topologies out there. Heard of all-pass topologies but
haven't looked at them yet. Haven't heard about any high pass filters yet.
Just need time to sit down with some books and do some math to figure it
out.

 

Thanks

Jay S.

SSM2044 is designed as a lowpass-only chip, yes.

 

That's not to say you couldn't start tapping differential signals from the
caps and build a pole-mixing filter with it like Oberheim did with the
CEM3372 (also "lowpass only") but it would use a lot of parts and it's much
easier to start with something like the SSM2164 if that's the purpose.

 

Talking of which, why not use the 2164 instead of the CA3280? You can use it
for filters, VCAs, and VCOs, and it's got the exponential reposnse built in,
unlike the CA3280.

I'm not familiar with the original chip and from the data sheet they only
show a low pass implementation. Does this chip only support low pass?

 

If people are doing old chips I'd like to see a super CA3280 made. You can
use CA3280s for filters, vcas and vcos verses having special chips for those
functions.

Apparently some SSM chips are going to be released, new and improved, so to
speak:
