Ordering number : EN873F Monolithic Linear IC LA1235 FM IF System Applications Overview Package Dimensions The LA1235 is a high integrated IC developed for use in high S/N, low distortion FM IF system applications. This IC features S/N=88dB, distortion factor=0.015% and has almost all functions required for FM tuner IF stage. The IF amplifier and limiter stage consist of 6 stages of double ended differential amplifier having an excellent AMR, and this stage is followd by the signal meter driver which consists of 4 stages of level detector, thereby creating extended linearity up to strong input. The FM detector stage consists of a double balanced quadrature detector to which a low frequency preamplifire and a muting controller are attached. The muting drive stage consists of an OR circuit for weak signal muting drive output which detects signal intensity and detuning muting drive output which detects S curve DC output and enables the prevention of noise at the time of weak signal and detuning. Further, the weak signal muting drive output circuit contains a Schmitt circuit having hysteresis and enables the prevention of muting malfunction due to amplitude component at the time of weak signal. The AFC output and tuning meter drive stage is of current drive type which makes it possible to adjust AFC sensitivity and muting band width by means of an external resistor, and the built-in tuning meter null (short) circuit foreces the tuning meter to be [0] when th IF amplifier stops working. The IF amplifier stop circuit, being a circuit to stop the FM IF amlifier at the time of AM reception, makes it possible to decrease shock noise due to FM-AM receiving mode switchover. unit: mm 3006B-DIP16 [LA1235] SANYO: DIP16 Functions * IF amplifier, Limiter. * Quadrature detection. * AF preamplifier. * Signal intesity muting drive output. * Detuning muting drive output. * AF signal muting circuit. * Signal meter drive output. * AFC, tuning meter drive output. * IF amplifier stop circuit. * Tunig meter null circuit.

Muting sensitivity and hysteresis width are set arbitarily by varying resistors R204 and R205 connected to pins 15 and 16, respectively. Muting sensitivity is set by varying R204 ; and if R204 is made larger, muting sensitivity will shift to the weak signal side. Hysteresis width is set by varying R205 ; and if R205 is made larger, hysteresis width will narrow. Next, how to set muting sensitivity is concretely described as follows. In case of using R204=50k (semifixed resistor) and R 205 =56k, the upper limit of current I 16 , 50 A, delivered from the signal meter driver at which muting is turned ON is obtained from the first quadrant of Table for muting adjustable lower limit calculation. Muting is turned ON at I1650A. If I1650A, muting is already turned ON at a point of input being stronger than the setting input and it is impossible to adjust muting at the setting input. Therefore, I16>50A is required at the setting input. The input at which a sample with a small I16 output meets 50A is obtained as VIN=47dB. This input is the maximum value of muting sensitivity, that is to say, the lower limit at with muting can be set. The data for sample with a Small I16 shown in this Table is colose to the minimum value, but since samples with values less than this munimum value may occur, a margin of some dB must be allowed. From the above, the minimum value for muting setting (muting ON input) becomes 50dB for R204 (semifixed resistor)=50k and R205=56k. No.873-4/12 LA1235 * Setting of muting circuit constnats Drive current to be output at muting drive output pin 12 is 0.75mA typ., but approximately 0.4mA may be caused by variations in characteristic or changes in temperature (smaller at higher temperatures). It is desirable to design the circuit so that the total current to be output from pin 12 at the time of muting ON does not exceed 0.35mA. When driving the muting circuit of the LA1235, the muting drive current (input current at pin 5) must be considered besides this total output current. The muting drive current of the LA1235 is 0.2mA max. Thus, the muting constants are obrained as follows. If the muting drive current is IR2070.2mA, R20714k occurs and the total current It is shown by the following expression. 4.8V It=IR206+IR207= 6.2V + R206 R206+10k Muting Circuit (10k : Input resistance at pin 5, Refer to the above figure.) If R207=10k is taken with the variation s in voltage V12 at pin 12 and input resistance 10k at pin 5 considered, R20656.4k is obtained, and then R206=68k and R207=10k are obtained. * Setting of C112 (Capacitance between pin 12 and ground) C112 influences S/N and muting attenuation. S/N is improved 0.5 to 2.0dB by changing C112 from 1F to 100F. Muting attenuation becomes as shown in Mute (att) - fm (next page) characteristic. This phenomenon occurs because the output at pin 7 appears at pin 6 through pin 10 and capacitance C110 between pin 7 and ground also exerts influence. The relation between muting attenuation andC110 is such that if C110=2.2F and C112=220F, attenuation at modulation frequency 100Hz becomes -80dB.

This phenomenon is caused by the fact that the noise component to be applied to the quadrature multiplication circuit is not syummetric with respect to 10.7MHz but is shifted toward lower frequency side because the frequency characteristic of IF amplifier attenuates at high frequencies and the phase shift circuit is of low-pass type. If the formt end is attached and the noise which passes through the narrowband filter of IF stage and spreads symmetrically with respect to 10.7MHz is stronger than the noise generated inside the IC, the tuning meter reads 0.As the gain of the front end is decreased, input limiting sensitivity and usable sensitivity worsen abruptly. This phenomenon is caused by the fact that since the tuning meter is set to 0 at the time of no input the tuning point of the quadrature circuit must be shifted toward lower frequency side than 10.7MHz and the demodulation output waveform is deformed asymmetrically at an input in the vicinity of usable sensitivity. However, if the gain of the front end is too increased, the signal meter poiter does not return to zero point at the time of no signal.
