Description
The CXA2038R is a bipolar IC designed as an
AFM monaural signal processor for 8 mm VCRs. All
functions necessary for AFM monaural are
concentrated onto a single 64-pin LQFP.
Features
• Low supply voltage (3.15 V) design
• Low power consumption (VCC=3.15 V)
Recording: 65 mW
Playback: 103 mW
• Built-in BPF (1.5 MHz)
• FM modulator center frequency made non-
adjusting.
• Supports NTSC and PAL
• Enables both parallel and 3-line serial mode
control
• Supports electronic volume (EVR) control
