The MC13028A is a third generation C–QUAM stereo decoder targeted
for use in low voltage, low cost AM/FM E.T.R. radio applications. Advanced
features include a signal quality detector that analyzes signal strength,
signal to noise ratio, and stereo pilot tone before switching to the stereo
mode. A “blend function” much like FM stereo has been added to improve
the transition from mono to stereo. The audio output level is adjustable to
allow easy interface with a variety of AM/FM tuner chips. The external
components have been minimized to keep the total system cost low.
• Adjustable Audio Output Level
• Stereo Blend Function
• Stereo Threshold Adjustment
• Operation from 2.2 V to 12 V Supply
• Precision Pilot Tone Detector
• Forced Mono Function
• Single Pinout VCO
• IF Amplifier with IF AGC Circuit
• VCO Shutdown Mode at Weak Signal Condition

Description/External Circuit Requirements
Stereo Threshold Adjustment Pin
The function of this circuit is to provide the freedom
ББББББББББББ
to achieve a desired value of incoming IF signal level
which will cause full stereo operation of the decoder.
ББББББББББББ
The level can be determined by the value of R1, a
ББББББББББББ
resistor from Pin 1 that can be connected to either
VCC or to ground. This resistor may also be omitted
ББББББББББББ
in some designs (Pin 1 left open). The approximate
ББББББББББББ
dc level with the pin left open is 0.6 Vdc.
ББББББББББББ
ББББББББББББ
AGC Filter Bypass Capacitor
An electrolytic capacitor is used as a bypass filter
ББББББББББББ
and it sets the time constant for the AGC circuit
ББББББББББББ
action. The recommended capacitor value is 10 µ F
from Pin 2 to ground. The dc level at this pin varies
ББББББББББББ
as shown in the curve in Figure 13, AGC Voltage
versus Input Level.

ББББББББББББ
IF Amplifier Feedback Capacitor
ББББББББББББ
A capacitor which is specified to have a low ESR
at 450 kHz is normally used at Pin 3. The value
ББББББББББББ
recommended for this capacitor is 0.47 µ F from
ББББББББББББ
Pin 3 to ground. This component forms a low pass
filter which has a corner frequency around 30 kHz.

at this pin is 10 k. The input should be ac coupled
ББББББББББББ
through a 0.01 µ F capacitor.

connected to the chassis ground directly. This pin
ББББББББББББ
is the internal circuit ground and the silicon
substrate ground.

Stereo Indicator Driver
This driver circuit is intended to light an LED or
ББББББББББББ
other indicator when the decoder receives the
ББББББББББББ
proper input signals and switches into the stereo
mode. The maximum amount of current that the
ББББББББББББ
circuit can sink is 10 mA.
ББББББББББББ
A current limiting resistor is applied externally to
ББББББББББББ
control LED brightness versus total power supply
current.
ББББББББББББ
ББББББББББББ
Regulated Voltage, 1.0 V
An electrolytic capacitor used as a bypass filter is
ББББББББББББ
recommended from Pin 7 to ground. The capacitor
value should be 10 µF.
ББББББББББББ
ББББББББББББ
Blend Capacitor
ББББББББББББ
The value of the capacitor on this pin will effect the
time constant of the decoder blend function. The
ББББББББББББ
recommended value is 10 µ F from Pin 8 to ground.
ББББББББББББ
The dc level at Pin 8 is internally generated in
response to input signal level and signal quality. This
ББББББББББББ
pin is a key indicator of the operational state of the IC
ББББББББББББ
(see text Functional Description). It is recommended
to discharge the blend capacitor externally when
ББББББББББББ
changing stations.

Pilot I Detector Output
The Pilot I Detector output requires a 10 µF
ББББББББББББ
electrolytic capacitor to ground. The value of this
capacitor sets the pilot acquisition time. The dc
ББББББББББББ
level at Pin 9 is approximately 1.0 Vdc, unlocked,
ББББББББББББ
and 1.1 to 2.4 Vdc in the locked condition.

Pilot Q Detector Output
ББББББББББББ
This pin is connected to the Pilot Q detector and
requires a 0.47 µ F capacitor to ground to filter the
ББББББББББББ
error line voltage at the PLL pilot tone detector. If the
ББББББББББББ
value of this capacitor is made too large, the
decoder may be prevented from coming back into
ББББББББББББ
stereo after a signal drop out has been experienced
in the field. The force to mono function is also
ББББББББББББ
accomplished at this pin by pulling the dc voltage

Loop Filter
ББББББББББББ
A capacitor which forms the loop filter is connected
from Pin 14 to ground. The recommended value is
ББББББББББББ
47 µ F in series with 47 Ω . This capacitor should be of
ББББББББББББ
good construction quality so it will have a very low
specification for leakage current in order to prevent
ББББББББББББ
stereo distortion. The 47 Ω resistor in series with the
capacitor controls the PLL corner frequency
ББББББББББББ
response, keeping the response shape critically
ББББББББББББ
damped and not peaked up. The dc level at Pin 14 is
approximately 0.6 Vdc in the locked condition.

Left Channel Audio Output
This is the left channel audio output pin from which
ББББББББББББ
the IC can provide 1.3 µ App drive current for each
ББББББББББББ
percent of mono modulation. A resistor to ground
sets the level of the audio output.

For example,

drive per % mod) = 130 µ App flowing through the
ББББББББББББ
load resistor. (For a 2.2 k load, 286 mVpp is then
the output signal voltage.) When dealing with
ББББББББББББ
stereo signals, multiply the mod level by 2; i.e.
(left only mod) x 2 (stereo factor) x 1.3 µ App (IC

drive per % mod) = 130 µ App flowing through the
ББББББББББББ
load resistor.
