Overview

LA1245 is a high performance IC to be used as an AM electronic tuner. It provides an automatic search-stop signal, local oscillator buffer-output, and the low level local oscillation, as well as providing all other functions required of an AM tuner. Moreover, the stable local oscillation from LW to SW facilitates the use of many band.

• Signal meter driving output (also used as an automatic search stop-signal)

• etc.

Features

• Narrow-band signal meter : Available as an automatic search-stop signal (also available as a wide-band signal

meter). Signal meter output=1/2 frequency ±1.5kHz typ.

• Local oscillation buffer-output : Facilitates the design of electronic tuning systems and frequency representation.

• OSC (with ALC) : The oscillation output is stabilized at a low level (350 mVrms) for a varactor

diode, and tracking error is minimized.

• RF amplifier : Excellent in usable sensitivity by incorporating low-noise transistors in cascode

circuit (45dB/m typ).

• MIX : Double balanced differential MIX prevents the influence of spurious radiation and

IF interferences (IF interference = 85dB typ).

• Low noise : Excellent in S/N for intermediate input (57dB typ).

• Compensation for VCCfluctuation : Allows little gain fluctuation and little distoriton fluctuation (8 to 16 V).

• Low shock noise : Able to decrease the shock noise by selecting AGC time constant when changing

VCC-on and/or switching the mode.

Using the automatic search-stop signal

Signal Meter-driving output circuit is equivalent to Figure. 1, signal meter driving output (abbreviated as VSM) is narrowed in band width and can be used as an automatic search-stop signal when a narrow band series resonator is connected to pin 15. VSMcan be adjusted with R

208

and R

211

both in wide band and narrow band since R

208

inversely proportional to VSM, while R

211

is proportional to VSM. R

208

is related to the Q of narrow band signal

meter. When the resistance of R

208

is increased, the Q will be damped and the band width increased. On the other

hand, R

211

used as the output impeadance of VSMand affects the cut-off frequency and time constant of low pass filter for VSMand the meter drive impedance. The time constant τ and the cut-off frequency fc can be expressed as follows :

τ = (C

114+C115+CS

) (R

211

//Rin)

fc =

2πτ

A semi-fixed resistor is recommended to be used as R

211

to cope with the fluctuation of VSM. Refer to Figure. 3 for

the value of the semi-fixed resistor since this depends upon VSMand R

208

. Figure. 3 shows the lowest limit of the

semi-fixed resistor in relation to R

208

with the parameter of VSMset point, and the value of the semi-fixed resistor

will be equal to or greater than that shown in Figure. 3. For example, when VSM=5V and R

208

=240Ω, R

211

becomes

28kΩ. Thus, the value of the semi-fixed resistor is determined to be about 30kΩ. When the value of VSMis too large, it is limited and saturated to the source voltage so it is recommended to follow the condition of VSM≤VCC–2(V). When a narrow band serial resonator is used, include the resonant impedance to determine the value of R

Notes on LA1245 usage

1. When suddenly tuned to a broadcasting station of intermediate or high field strength, a large current of high frequency flows into the signal meter circuit, causing the local oscillator malfunctions and abnormal noises. To eliminate this :

· Use R

208

≥240Ω for manual tuning type.

· Use R

208

≥82Ω, and use the local oscillation coil at the 1/3 tap (except SW) for electronic tuning type (which uses a

narrow band filter).

2. Use the bias on the condition RF VCC≤IF VCC, since abnormal noise levels might be caused when detuning a strong input on the codition RF VCC>IF VCC.

3. Use the signal meter driving output (VSM) at VSM≤VCC–2 (V) to avoid saturation caused by VCC.

4. Use 1/2 or more tap of LW and MW oscillation coil to improve S/N and the detuning characteristics of the distortion ratio.

5. Use the full-tap of SW oscillation coil, to allow the sag in oscillation power by the decreasing of Q.

6. Avoid the coupling of the antenna tuning circuit and the local oscillating circuit so as not to leak the local oscillation into the antenna tuning circuit.

7. Connect the detection capacitor C

113

between pin 13 (output) and pin 14 (VCC) to avoid the leakage of the IF signal into the GND line. Connection between pin 13 and pin 12 (GND) increases the tweet interference and deteriorates the usable sensitivity. Moreover, depending on the positions of C

113

and the bar antenna, higher harmonics having twice or three times the frequency of the IF signal may pass into the antenna and cause tweet interference, and in extreme cases oscillation might be cause. To prevent this :

· Shorter lead wires and connect them near 13 and 14 pins.

· Place C

113

far from the antenna.
