The core of many compressors, limiters, and synth modules, a VCA allows you to control the amplitude of a signal with a control voltage (CV). 2. Voltage-Controlled Filter (VCF)
) pin. By injecting a small current into this pin, you control the transconductance ( Gmcap G sub m lm13720
) of the amplifier—in simple terms, you can control the gain of the chip using a voltage. Key Features of the LM13700 The core of many compressors, limiters, and synth

remains a pillar of analog DIY and synthesizer design. Its ability to create voltage-controlled systems simply and effectively, combined with the convenience of built-in buffers and linearizing diodes, ensures its place in the analog designer's toolkit for years to come. Ready to start your next analog project? The
. Often referred to as the "Swiss Army Knife" of analog design, this dual-operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) IC is a legendary component that brings voltage-controlled versatility to electronics.
Keep inputs below 1mA to avoid unhappy transistors.
