R1, Q1, R5, R10, R11 are connected to the Cu-foiled side.
(Because no holes are made.)
Unit (resistance : Ω, capacitance : F)
When the SW is placed in the 300kΩ position, the antenna is
held on the pin 8 side at the weak input signal mode.
When the SW is placed in the 10kΩ position, the antenna
holding function at the weak input signal mode does not work.
Circuit to cause the separation control
at the MPX stage to be entered into the
forced monaural mode when the
antenna switching frequency is high.
The antenna switching trigger pulse at
pin 6 is peak-held, integrated, and
attacks the separation control pin.

Noise Detection Method of the LA1060
(1) "Count system"-used noise detection
• The LA 1060 is so designed as to count the noise components of 100kHz or greater in the IF output to detect the
multipath distortion.
• Car-use FM tuners are always affected by noises shown below.
(1) Ignition noise
(2) Noise attendant on modulation.
The actual modulation signal is not a continuous wave, but an intermittent signal. When the modulation signal
rises in a burst fashion, the high frequency noise components are detected in the FM demodulation output
(because in a burst fashion, overmodulation may occur or the signal rise characteristic may include the high
frequency components.)
(3) Random noise
The random noise at the weak input signal mode includes some noise components whose peak value is two to
three times as high as the average noise level.
• As a result of checking the above-mentioned noises, we found that the noise of more than a given level being
present within a given period of time (example : within 100µ s) is included in the FM demodulation output of caruse FM tuners at less than a given density only.
• By contrast, when the multipath distortion or skip noise occurs, the continuous noise components occur and the
above-mentioned noise density increases.
• Therefore, by using "count system" to count the noise density, the detection of multipath distortion and skip noise
detection can be performed with less malfunction.
(2) Noise detection time
• It is desirable that the noise detection time is faster (Note 1). However, the noise detection time (noise count time)
of the LA1060 is approximately 100µ s so that the above-mentioned three types of noise cause no malfunction to
occur.
(Note 1) • If the period of noise duration is 20µ s or less, the noise is hardly offensive to the ears. If the period of noise
duration is 50 to 200µs, the noise is heard as a sound "buzz", but a single noise is hardly offensive to the ears.
• If the period of noise duration is 500µ s or more, the noise is heard as a sound "zah" which is offensive to the
ears.

Note for Application
1. Noise sensitivity setting
When the LA1060 is used in conjunction with the LA2110, it is unnecessary to adjust the sensitivity. However, if any
malfunction occurs, increase the noise sensitivity control VR form 0Ω to 50kΩ—100kΩ to decrease the input noise
level.
2. Gate time setting
The recommended gate time is 120µs. If any malfunction occurs, shorten the gate time, and less malfunction will
result. If the gate time is made longer, the multipath distortion detection sensitivity is increased. The gate time can be
set by varying the value of the capacitor or resistor connected to pin 4.
3. Antenna holding function
a. To hold the antenna at the weak input signal mode, set the value of the resistor connected to pin 6 to approximately
300kΩ. In this case, the pin 8 output is brought to High level. The antenna input level at which the antenna is held
can be adjusted by varying the value (300kΩ) of the resistor.
b. To switch the antenna even at the weak input signal mode, set the value of the resistor connected to pin 6 to
approximately 10kΩ.
4. Forced antenna holding
Set the pin 6 voltage to 2.5V or greater (example : connect to VCCthrough 10kΩ), and the antenna can be held on the
pin 8 side,
