Overview
The LA3401 is a multifunctional MPX demodulator IC
designed for FM stereo electronic tuning. It features the
VCO non-adjusting function that eliminates the need to
adjust free-running frequency of VCO and the accessory
functions such as FM/AM input, FM/AM input changeover ,
muting.
Applications
• Home stereos, portable hi-fi sets.
Functions
• VCO non-adjusting function.
• PLL MPX stereo demodulator.
• Gain variable type post amplifier.
• FM-AM changeover.
• Muting at the FM-AM changeover mode (changeover
mute)
• Muting function.
• Drive pin for external muting.
• VCO stop function.
• Separation adjust function.
• Muting at the VCC-ON mode.
Features
• Non-adjusting VCO : Eliminates the need to adjust freerunning frequency.
• Good temperature characteristic of VCO : ±0.1% typ. for
±50°C change.
• Less high frequency distortion of stereo main signal
(0.07% typ. at f=10kHz) (Non-adjusting PLL makes it
possible to make the capture range narrower, providing
less high frequency beat distortion of stereo main signal.)
• Low distortion : Mono 0.01% typ.
Main 0.025% typ.
• High S/N : 91dB typ./mono 300mV input, LPF
94dB typ./mono 400mV input, LPF
• High voltage gain : Approximately 13dB (Commonto FM,
AM at standard constants) This gain can be varied by
external constants.
• Wide dynamic range : Distortion 1.0%/mono 800mV,
1kHz input (Post amplifier gain :
Approximately 13dB)
• The semifixed resistor (pin 4) for separation adjust can be
changed to a fixed resistor or can be removed.
Note 1 : For C9, R11 setting, refer to Sample Application Circuit (Note 2) and Note 2 for Using IC.
Note 2 : To advance stereo operation start timing, the value of C10 is decreased. Decreasing the value of C10 narrows
capature range. This narrowing also depends on the value of C9. It is recommended to use C10 of 0.47µF or
greater.
