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.
2. Capture range and PLL loop filter constants
(1) It is desirable that the capture range, which is related to the stereo distortion, should be set in the range where the
capture range does not depend on the pilot level. For example, when the PLL loop filter constants are C9=0.22µF,
C10=1µF, R11=3.3kΩ, the capture range characteristic becomes as shown in Fig. 1. For these loop filter constants,
it is desirable that the input pilot level should be approximately 20mV or greater where the capture range does not
depend on the pilot level. Figs. 2, 3 shows how the capture range characteristic changes with the loop filter constants.

(2) Fig. 5 shows how the capture range changes with
loop filter constant R11.
(3) Fig. 6 shows how the distortion of stereo main (L +
R) changes with loop filter C9.
3. VCO stop method
The relation between VCO stop supply VS and limiting
resistor RS is shown in Fig. 7. RS must be set so that the
voltage on pin 17 is within the specified range when V
is applied. For example, it is seen from Fig. 7 that the
value of RS is approximately 33kΩ when the voltage on
pin 17 is set to 7V at VS=12V. The relation between R
and the voltage on pin 17 at the VCO stop mode is shown
in Fig. 8. The voltage on pin 17 at the VCO stop mode
increases with increasing RS. The lower v alue on pin 17
is set by adding an increase in the voltage to the minimum value specified.

4. Forced monaural mode
To provide the forced monaural mode, pin 16 is connected to GND through a resistor of 10kΩ. In this case,
VCO oscillation does not stop.
FM/AM mode changeover
(1) How to change over
Changeover is performed by externally applying voltage to pin 10.
FM → AM changeover : Apply a voltage of 4.3V to
VCC–2 (not exceeding 10V) to pin.
AM → FM changeover : Apply a voltage of 0.5V or less
to pin 10.
Fig. 9 shows the relation between the voltage on pin 10
and the flow-in current.
LA3401
(2) Muting in the changeover mode
Muting is turned ON for a certain period of time fixed
by external capacitor C6 in the FM → AM or AM →
FM changeover mode (muting in the changeover mode).
Fig. 10 shows the relation between the muting time in
the chageover mode and C6.
(3) VCO oscillation stop in the AM mode
By externally applying a specified voltage to pin 10 to select the AM mode, VCO oscillation stops automatically and
the monaural mode is forced to be entered.
Muting function
(1) How to turn ON/OFF muting
Muting is turned ON/OFF by externally applying voltage to pin 15.
Muting ON :Apply a voltage of 3.5V to VCC–3V to pin 15.
Muting OFF : Apply a voltage of 0.3V or less to pin 15.
Fig. 9 shows the relation between the voltage on pin 15 and the flow-in current.
(2) Hysteresis characteristic
Muting ON/OFF is allowed a hysteresis of approximately 6dB to prevent malfunction attributable to ripple included in the IF meter output, muting drive output.
(3) Forced monaural in the muting mode
By externally applying a specified voltage to pin 15 to select the muting mode, the forced monaural mode is
automatically entered.

Muting output
Since the muting signal is delivered at the muting output (pin 11) in the following mode, e xternal transistors can be
used to provide external muting.
¡ AM → FM changeover mode (muting in the changeover mode)
™ Muting mode
£ VCC–ON/OFF mode
Fig. 11 shows a sample application of external muting.
Muting in the VCC-ON mode
1. Muting time
Muting is turned ON for a certain period of time fixed
by external capacitor C13. Fig. 12 shows the relation
between the muting time and C13.
2. Values of AM/FM input coupling capacitors (C1, C2) and value of C13
If muting is released before the DC voltage on the AM input (pin 1) or FM input (pin 2) is stabilized after VCC is
turned ON, pop noise is generated. Therefore, the value of C13 must be determined by the input coupling capacitor
value. The adequate value of C13 for C1, C2 of 10µF is 10µF or thereabouts. If the value of C1, C2 is increased, the
value of C13 is also increased accordingly.

How to externd the dynamic range of the post amplifier
In the Sample Application Circuit of the LA3401 the dynamic range of the post amplifier is extended by connecting
resistors R12, R13 across the virtual GND points (pins 6, 7) of the post amplifier and GND as shown in Fig. 13 to set
the output (pins 5, 8) DC voltages to an adequate value.
The DC voltages on pins 5, 8 are obtained as follows :

The upper and lower loss voltages of the post amplifier output
are approximately 2V and 0.5V respectively as shown in Fig.
14. With these loss voltages considered, the voltages on pins
5, 8 are set.
In the Sample Application Circuit the voltages on pins 5, 8 are
set to 6V and the maximum output voltage is obtained at
VCC=13V.
The Sample Application Circuit provides the reduced
voltage characteristic at approximately 9V. If the reduced
voltage characteristic at approximately 6V is required,
remove R12, R13 shown in the Sample Application
Circuit. Then, the output (pins 5, 8) DC voltages becomes
approximately 3.3V and the reduced voltage characteristic
becomes as shown in Fig. 15. Fig. 15 shows the THD vs.
VCC characteristic, but other characteristics such as
separation are also available at VCC=6V by removing
R12, R13.
Low-pass filter
Fig. 16 shows a sample circuit configuration where an
LC filter is used as the low-pass filter and Fig. 17 shows
a sample characteristic of this filter. As compared with the LPF (BL-13) in the Sample Applicatin Circuit, the use of
this filter makes the attenuation less at 19kHz, 38kHz : therefore, carrier leak at the LPF output causes the stereo
distortion and separation characteristic to get worse than specified in the Operating Characteristics. For the stereo
distortion, the BL-13 provides approximately 0.02%, while the LC filter provides approximately 0.5%.

Decorder circuit (Refer to the Block Diagram in the Sample Application Circuit.)
The LA3401 adopts a decoder circuit of chopper type. The sub signal syncdetected by this decoder is applied to the post
amplifier minus input through Rb as shown in the Sample Application Circuit. This signal is matrixed with the main
signal coming out of amplifier A5 and passing through RC.
The gain for the sub signal is :
R1Rb2
VS · or VS ·
The gain for the main signal is :VR1 :Semifixed resistor for separation adjust
VR1
VM · or VM ·
Ra + VR1R1Rc
In the LA3401, the gain of the main signal is varied with VR1 to adjust the separation. Since the IF output is generally
such that the sub signal level is lower than the main signal level, the separation can be adjusted by attenuating the main
signal level with VR1. The use of an antibirdie filter across the IF output and the FM input of the LA3401 may cause the
sub signal level to be raised, and when the sub signal level is higher than the main signal level the separation cannot be
adjusted with VR1. In this case, the sub signal level is attenuated to be less than the main signal level and applied to the
LA3401 and the separation is adjusted with VR1.
