1.2 Application
The TDA 4360X is an integrated dual conversion AM receiver for use in car radios.
The input signal passes a linear mixer for conversion into the 1. IF (~ 10 MHz). Via an
external bandpass filter (CER filter, quartz filter) the 1. IF is converted in a second linear
mixer to the 2. IF (~ 460 kHz).
After an external narrowband selectivity (CER filter) the 2. IF passes an automatic gain
controlled (AGC) amplifier and is then demodulated to the AF. The AGC time constant
can be switched with a ratio of 20.
For counter controlled search tuning stop (STS) the frequencies of the 1. LO and the
2. IF are available.

Sym. Input for the AM signal in the frequency range of 100 kHz (SW) to 6.2
MHz (49m-Band) sym. application is recommended, asym. application is
possible
DC voltage alters the threshold voltage of the prestage AGC circuit.
GROUND: All DC values are referred to this pin
Buffered output for the by n divided (n = 8 or 10) oscillator frequency
Output for the internal reference voltage. This pin is to be blocked with a
ceramic capacitor to ground.
The ext. LC circuit between pin 7 and pin 8 determines the oscillator
frequency.
Supply voltage. This point is to be blocked to ground for AF and for RF
signals.
Buffered output for the oscillator frequency
Input for the frequency divider. Low voltage to pin 11 divides the oscillator
frequency by 8, high voltage or open input divides by10.
Blocking capacitor for the IF AGC circuit to suppress AF frequencies
Input to select the fast or slow AGC time constant
