The CXA1898Q is an IC developed for analog
signal processing in tape recorders. Processing for
both the recording and playback systems is
achieved on one chip.
Features
• Recording equalizer Gp and Fp can be adjusted
externally.
• Recording mute function
• AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
• Comparator for AMS (Automatic Music Sensor)
• Recording/playback equalizer amplifier with
1.7 times speed switching
• 11-bit serial data interface
Absolute Maximum Ratings
• Supply voltageVCC12V
• Operating temperatureTopr–20 to +75 °C
• Storage temperatureTstg –65 to +150 °C
• Allowable power dissipation PD735mW
Structure
Bipolar silicon monolithic IC
Applications
All analog signal processing in the cassette decks
of tape recorders and compact music centers
