What is this BA5096?

Very strange circuit... the 4558's are obviously audio looking at the component values, but why two "channels" when they are fed from a common source (pin 27).

The clue has to be the pin out descriptions and component values, is it to do with recovering audio from a carrier... amatuer radio etc
The input side and the component values suggest low frequencies C612 and C616 and R617 form a LPF so it's not "digital data" as such that's being applied.

Let us know 🙂
 
I just realized that the input is analog. But the IC has separated supply pins for digital and analog. So the IC must process the analog signal in digital form and transform back to analog. From the circuit we can see a "direct" connection from input (pin#28) to output (bypassing the IC). Assuming the input is an audio signal, part of the signal is "processed" inside of the IC then summed in the output. Is it sound effect? Echo may be? If only I can understand what the opamp do, I think that is the clue....

Imagine a processed audio signal is amplified by 2 opamps. What is the difference to the output if one opamp gives higher slew rate than the other??
 
Thank you all. I still don't know the function of the opamp in the output, but it doesn't matter. At least I know this is a reverberation circuit 🙂

I found a small PCB with this IC and a few opamps on board. Was hoping it was a DAC. Well...

Mooly, while you are here, what is the story regarding your MLH (Mooly Lindsey Hood) amp? Are you still in love with her or is there another one replacing her? I have a plan to build it later to compare with a modified Russel Breden amp.
