Sanyo LA70001M Specifications

Overview

The LA70001 and LA70001M ICs provide record and
playback amplifiers for VHS format VCRs. A system with
an adjustment-free Y/C record current can be achieved by
combining the LA70001/M with an LA71000M or
LA71500M video signal processing IC.

Features

• Direct connection of the head to the playback amplifier
input allows the number of external devices to be
reduced.

• A fixed-current drive technique that is strongly resistant
to load fluctuations is adopted in the record amplifier for
stable recording characteristics. The record amplifier
includes a built-in AGC circuit.

• These products have the same package dimensions as
the LA70011 and LA70011M to allow a common PCB
to be used. These products can also share the same PCB
with the LA70020 by mounting the IC at the right end of
the LA70020 socket.

Usage Notes

Control Pin Logic

GND < the pin 3 DC level < 1.5 V: SP mode

1.5 V < the pin 3 DC level < 5 V: EP mode

• H.SYNC input: pin 5

The pin 5 DC level > 1.5 V: The horizontal synchronization period

In record mode: Used as the REC-AGC-AMP synchronization block gate pulse.

• REC/REC-MUTE/PB switching: pin 11

GND < the pin 11 DC level < 1.0 V: Playback mode

1.0 V < the pin 11 DC level < 3.0 V: Record mode with recording
muted.

3.0 V < the pin 11 DC level < 5.0 V: Record mode

Record Amplifier Gain Control

The LA70001 achieves an adjustment-free record current by adding an AGC circuit in the record amplifier block. The
record current can be modified using the following method.

• Record current adjustment 2: When left open.
Pin 12 DC level is set to 1/2 VCC(approximately 2.5 V) by an internal bias, and the record current is determined by
Ro1.
Design value: When Ro1 is 1.5 kΩ, the record current will be 12.7 mA per channel.

• Record current adjustment 2: When used.
The gain can be varied by –6.0 dB to +3.5 dB relative to the value set by Ro1 by applying a control DC voltage of
between 1 and 4 V to pin 12.

Note: The technique shown in the figure below can be used to apply a DC level to pin 12. This allows a control voltage of between 1 and 4 V to be applied.
