Overview
The LA2615 and LA2615M are sound field playback
processing ICs for use in audio equipment, TVs, and PCs.
These ICs allow equipment to easily reproduce a spatial
realistic sound field from a stereo signal from a music,
video, or other audio source.
Features
• Supports a wide operating supply voltage range, and can
be used in a wide range of applications.
• The added surround signal level can be adjusted.
• Low-noise low-distortion bypass mode
• Provides a natural feeling of spaciousness without
degrading the tonal coloration of the source.
• Clear vocal positioning without any apparent loss of
center to the sound
• Miniature packages: 16-pin DIP (LA2615) and 16-pin
MFP (LA2615M)
Functions
• Surround signal processing
• Variable surround effect
• Surround/bypass switching
• LED drive circuit

Surround Effect
The maximum value of the surround effect is set with pins 15 and 16.
• The surround effect is increased by connecting an external resistor to pin 15.
• The surround effect is decreased by connecting an external resistor to pin 16.
• The device may be used with no external resistors on pins 15 and 16.
The level of the surround effect is controlled by pins 1 to 3.

Note*: For the high level, a potential over 3 V and under VCCmust be used.
