TDA7421
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA7421 is a high performance tuner circuit
that integrates AM/FM sections, IF counter and
PLL synthesizer on a single chip.
Use of BICMOS technology allows the im plementation of tuning functions with a minimum of external components.
Value spread of external components can be fully

compensated by means of on-chip electrical adjustment controlled by external µP.
The Automatic Gain Control (AGC) operates on
different sensitivities and bandwidths in order to
improve sensitivity and dynamic range. I
allows to control selected functions of the tuner
(AGC and amplifiers gain, PLL and counters operation modes).
