1-chip Cassette Deck
For the availability of this product, please contact the sales office.
Description
The CXA1599Q is an IC for audio cassette decks.
All analog signal processing functions, except Dolby
NR, are incorporated in a single chip. As a result, a
double cassette deck system can be simply
configured by adding a Dolby IC.
Features
• Electronic recording volume for setting recording
level (with a balance volume)
• Recording equalizer amplifier
(with calibration and low frequency boost
functions)
• Recording mute function
(soft mute and fader possible)
• Playback head amplifier switch function
(deck A/B switch)
• NR pass amplifier (NR IN/PASS switch)
• Headphone amplifier with electronic volume
• Full-wave rectifier output amplifier for level meter
(with time constant function)
• HPF amplifier for AMS
(with BS/AMS gain switch function)
• Electronic switch for tape EQ selection
(120µs/70µs)
• Electronic switch for metal tape selection
• Electronic switch for normal/double speed dubbing
selection (only for recording equalizer)
• Line mute function
• Double cassette dubbing system can be easily
configured with this single IC.
