Vocal fader IC
BA3837 / BA3837F / BA3838F
The BA3837, BA3837F and BA3838F are ICs with an internal secondary active LPF for vocal cancellation functions
and mixing amplifier functions with high degrees of vocal cancellation. Three control pins are used to switch between
modes: the key controller input mode, through mode, vocal fader mode, sound multiplexing mode and mute mode.
By offering these functions on a single chip, these ICs can significantly reduce the number of external components.
•Applications on stereo systems, portable stereos and VCRs
Karaoke functions
•Features IC with vocal fader, to erase vocals from
1) Single-chip
4) Key controller input and internal switches.
5) Low noise and low distortion.
6) Internal microphone mixing amplifier.
7) Available in two packages: DIP 16-pin and SOP 16pin (BA3838F is available in SOP 16-pin only).
commercially available recordings.
2) Internal secondary active LPF for high degrees of
vocal cancellation (high synchronization rejection).
3) Three control pins for switching between 4 modes:
through, vocal fader, sound multiplexing and mute.
