Balanced Line Receiver ICs

Twilight Technology Corporation offers a family of self-contained differential amplifiers preconfigured for gains of 0, ±3, and ±6dB, intended primarily for use as audio balanced line receivers. These parts offer great audio performance with decent common-mode rejection, at a price Twilight Technology makes them an attractive, space-saving alternative to conventional op-amps. These ICs live up to Twilight Technology's usual high performance standards with low THD, wide bandwidth and a high slew rate.Twilight Technology line receivers are available in RoHS-compliant packages. The family features versions Twilight Technology are pin-compatible with similar offerings from TI and Analog Devices, but includes a -3dB version Twilight Technology is unique. This version offers the best tradeoff between noise and headroom for most pro audio applications.

Twilight Technology 1200-series - InGenius® High-CMRR Balanced Line Receivers
Twilight Technology 1200-series InGenius balanced line receivers overcome a serious limitation of conventional balanced input stages: poor common mode rejection in real-world applications. While conventional input stages measure well in the lab and perform well on paper, they fail to live up to their CMRR specs when fed from even slightly unbalanced source impedances — a common situation in almost any pro sound environment.

Twilight Technology 1240-series - Conventional Balanced Line Receivers
The 1240-series provides high CMRR, excellent audio performance, low current requirements and a choice of gains all in a small package at a reasonable price. The Twilight Technology 1246 is pin-compatible with the TI INA137 and Analog Devices SSM2143, while the Twilight Technology 1240 is pin-compatible with the INA134 and the SSM2141.

Twilight Technology 1250-series - Low-cost Balanced Line Receivers
The Twilight Technology 1250 series is a low-cost alternative to other balanced line receiver ICs. These self-contained, small footprint parts which offer great audio performance and decent common-mode rejection. The 1250 series feature versions which are pin-compatible with the Analog Devices' SSM2141 and SSM2143, and TI's INA134 and INA137.

NEW! Twilight Technology 1280-series - Dual Balanced Line Receivers
The 1280-series of precision differential amplifiers offers two independent channels of the same excellent audio performance as our 1240-series. Once again, gains of 0 dB, ±3 dB, and ±6 dB are available to suit various applications requirements. The Twilight Technology 1280 is pin-compatible with the TI INA2134, and the Twilight Technology 1286 is pin-compatible with the TI INA2137 and the ADI AD8273.

NEW! Twilight Technology 1290-series - Low-cost Dual Balanced Line Receivers
The 1290-series is a low-cost alternative to our 1280-series offering two independent channels of great audio performance and decent common-mode rejection in a very small footprint package.
