LA3430

Cautions when employing sample application circuits

· Adjust separation by 10kΩ potentiometer in low pass filter.

· Adjust RS for noise detection sensitivity under strong to medium radio fields. Set at adequate value.

· Adjust noise AGC by CY and RY to enhance noise suppression in medium to weak radio fields.

· Adjust pilot cancellation by 50kΩ potentiometer connected to pin 15 of LA2110.

· Reponse speeds of pilot cancellation to follow levels can be varied by adjusting capacitance value of 1µF capacitor

connected across pins 11 and 12 of LA3430. Distortion factors deteriorate with reduction in value.

· Adjusting pilot cancellation.
For example consider the sample application circuit 2. Assume the input signal consists only of pilot signals. First
connect an oscilloscope and a valve voltmeter to pin 2 of LA2110. Set their ranges for V : 200mV/div. AC, H : 20µs/
div.

Then, adjust pilot cancel control to minimize indications of valve voltmeter.
When the LA3430 alone is used (sample application circuit 1), adjust cancel control through a 19kHz B.P.F. to
minimize carrier leakage level at output pins (pins 5 and 6).

1. Pilot cancelling circuit
A level-following type has been used. Once set, it can easily accommodate varying pilot modulation depths among
stations. Cancelling signal is a sawtooth wave obtained by integrating a square wave that is proportionate in ampli­tude to pilot level with C and R.

2. Separation adjustments
The LA3430 has separation parameters that have been set to provide maximum separation when used in conjunction
with the LA2110, a noise-canceler IC, or the equivalent. The LA3430 by itself exhibits separation only in a 25 to 30
dB range. If a phase correction circuit is provided in the LA3430 input circuit, it can exhibit intrinsic separation
charactersitics, typically 50 dB.

3. SNC (stereo noise control) and HCC (high-cut control)
The LA3430 has SNC and HCC terminals for improved S/N ratios when operating in weak radio fields. By adjusting
the SNC terminal, noises unique to stereo FM in weak fields can be reduced. The HCC terminals permits further
improvement of effective S/N ratios by lowering treble levels of FM noises in weak fields. (See Fig. 2)
STEREO deteriorates approximately 21.7 dB (compared to MONO) in weak radio feilds (Fig. 2). Generally, when
S/N ratios deteriorate below 30 to 40 dB, noises become quite noticeable. Section (1) shows ways to set SNC and
HCC when radio field strenghs are divided into 3 regions, A, B, and C, (Fig. 2). SNC is expected to function in
region A, and HCC in region B. In region C, shallow muting is effected in the IF stage.

No.1408–5/12

LA3430

(1) SNC (stereo noise control)

Stereo S/N ratios deteriorate 21.7 dB below monaural but can be improved by varying stereo separation. S/N
improvement becomes apparent, however, only when the separation is 20 dB or worse. In that case, the relation
between separation and S/N improvement is shown in Fig. 5.
SNC in the LA3430 improves S/N ratios in weak radio fields by varying separation. It varies subsignal demodula­tion level and controls separation. By using the IF stage signal meter level output as the source of the control
signal, S/N ratios in region A of Fig. 2 can be maintained at about 40 dB or better. Ideal S/N enhancements should
provide gradual switching over from stereo to monaural to maintain constant S/N ratios, starting from a point in
region A for 40dB stereo S/N toward a point for 40dB monaural S/N. Methods to set the control level will be
described later.
Fig. 3 shows separation characteristics (SNC characteristics) for voltages applied to pin 8 (SNC terminal) of the
LA3430. Pin 8 is also the base of a PNP transistor, so stereo mode is set when pin 8 is open and monaural mode
is set when it is grounded. SNC terminal control is effective only when locked with pilot signals and when stereo
indicator is lit. External circuit parameters can be chosen in large values that do not affect the IF stage meter
output circuit because SNC control currents are small. This makes designing easy. (See Fig. 6)

(2) Designing external circuits for SNC characteristics (characteristic setting by drawing)

We recommend the following as a way to designate SNC characteristics to have smooth transition of separation
from stereo to monaural in region A of Fig. 2.

Separation vs S/N-enhancement relation ....................................................... Refer to Fig. 5.

SNC terminal voltages vs separation characteristics ..................................... Refer to Fig. 3.

Antenna inputs vs S/N improvement characteristics can be obtained from the drawing if the graph for IF stage
signal meter output vs. antenna iuput and the graph for stereo S/N ratio vs. antenna input are known. From
desired S/N characteristics, SNC terminal voltage characteristics can also obtained. Sample drawings are shown
in Fig. 4, where for simplicity’s sake, SNC, IF meter, and stereo S/N characteristics have been approximated with
straight lines.
For instance :

To obtain stereo S/N improvement characteristics from SNC characteristics, when (a) in the second quadrant of

the chart represents bare SNC characteristics, point 1 projected to the third quadrant shows a 20 dB separation

and a 1dB S/N improvement. When projected from the frist to the fourth quadrant, a point improved by 1dB in

S/N over the stereo S/N line in the fourth quadrant corresponds to point 1. Similarly, point 2 on the SNC

characteristics in the second quadrant corresponds to point 2 in the fourth quadrant. Point 3 in the second

quadrant corresponds to point 3 in the fourth quadrant. Stereo S/N improvement characteristics for each point

are obtainable.

Similarly, (b) characteristics in the second quadrant are projected to form (b) characteristics in the fourth

quadrant, and (c) in the second quadrant to form (c) in the fourth quadrant, thus providing a way to diagram

improvement characteristics.
In the resulting drawings, ideal S/N improvement characteristics are similar to (b) in the fourth quadrant, but
corresponding SNC characteristics have to be (b) characteristics in the second quadrant which are difficult to
realize. Among realistic characteristics, something like (c) appears to be satisfactory. The (c) SNC characteristics
are obtained with a shift by two diodes together with a 1/2 bleeder.

(3) HCC (high-cut control)

In region B where S/N deteriorates to 40 dB or worse even for monaural, the S/N as sensed by the human ear can
be enhanced by suppressing levels at frequencies above approximately 7kHz.
Treble region levels that follow meter voltages can be smoothly attenuated (high-cut control) by impressing IF
stage signal meter output to the HCC pin (pin 7) of the LA3430. Fig. 7 shows MPX output frequency characteris­tics (monaural) provided by voltages impressed on pin 7. Frequency characteristics for a 100% high cut can be
designated by an external capacitor connected to pin 4. An equivalent circuit is shown below where the designa­tion is made by the 5kΩ and the C time constant. Approximate values provided by C as expressed in attenuation
at 10kHz are listed in table below : right.

No.1408–6/12

LA3430

Fig. 8 shows the relation between voltages impressed on pin 7 and rates (%) of high cut (HCC). When IF meter
output voltage characteristics and region B, S/N characteristics, of Fig. 2 have been obtained, S/N improvement
by HCC can be drawn in a way similar to drawing SNC characteristics.
Fig. 2 shows typical meter outputs of a quadrature detection IF amplifier IC. (Fig. 1 shows data for the LA1140,
LA1230, and LA1231N) HCC characteristics have been designated to permit region B improvements when the IC
is directly connected to HCC (pin 7) terminal of the LA3430. The infinitesmal control currents at pin 7, similar to
pin 8, do not affect meter outputs.

(4) SNC and HCC connection circuits when coupled with the IF stage

Fig. 1 shows sample S/N characteristics vs. antenna inputs when SNC and HCC are connected with the IF stage
by an external circuit.

(5) S/N improvements in region C of Fig. 1

Because S/N ratios deteriorate even further in the region C of Fig. 1, it is better to improve the S/N in this region
with IF mutings. The LA1140 is available to linearly vary the IF muting. Employment of the LA3430 together
with the LA1140 further enhances S/N improvement.

(6) Using the HCC terminal for muting

Mutings in the neighborhood of 37dB are feasible by utilizing HCC functions as muting functions when used in
home stereos and no need exists to suppress treble noises. Fade-in and fade-out of mutings, permitting delightful,
shock-noise-free muting, are possible by providing a time constant to the pin 7 control.

(7) VCO damping

VCO oscillations can be damped by applying a voltage not less than 7V to the HCC terminal (pin 7) to induce a
monaural mode. At this time, both SNC and HCC are in an off mode. Fig. 9 shows flow-in current by voltages
applied to pin 7.

(8) Forced monaural

By disconnecting LED lamp at pin 10 from VCC lamp, reception mode forced monaural function can be attained.
(Stereo lamp is turned OFF. Pilot cancel and HCC function are held.)
