Monolithic Linear IC
Electronic Channel Select
System Control Circuit for TV/VCR Use
Ordering number:ENN2843
LA7938
SANYO Electric Co.,Ltd. Semiconductor Company
TOKYO OFFICE Tokyo Bldg., 1-10, 1 Chome, Ueno, Taito-ku, TOKYO, 110-8534 JAPAN
Overview
The SANYO LA7938 monolithic linear TV/VCR electronic
tuner system controller IC integrates all the peripheral circuitry for a TV or VTR tuner, with the exception of the
microcontroller, into a single chip.
It incorporates a 2-input/4-output band-switch, 5.0V and
5.75V voltage regulators, comparator, sync signal processing circuit, AFT DC shift circuit and constant current circuit. Each PNP output of the band-switch circuit typically
sources 40mA, eliminating the need for external current
drivers.
The LA7938 operates from a recommended supply voltage range of 8.7 to 12.5V. It is available in 22-pin shrink
DIPs.
Features
• Integrates all tuner peripheral circuits except controller.
• Band-switch outputs source up to 40mA.
• Regulators each supply up to 50mA.
• 22-pin shrink DIP.
