Sound control IC
BH3852S / BH3852FS
The BH3852S and BH3852FS are signal processing ICs designed for volume and tone control in CD radio cassettes
and other audio products. They can be used without a microcomputer because they use DC current for control.
Applications
CD radio cassettes, micro components, car stereos, televisions
Features
1) Can control volume (main volume) and tone (bass,
treble).
2) Volume is produced by a low-distortion, low-noise
VCA, is controlled with DC current, and, due to an internal reference voltage with temperature compensation, can control two channels with a single
variable resistor.
3) Input amp can be used for gain adjustment, and matrix surround yields powerful sound.

FOperation notes
(1) Operating power supply voltage range
As long as the operating power supply voltage range and
ambient temperature are kept within the specified range,
the basic circuits are guaranteed to function, but be sure
to check the constants as well as the element settings,
voltage settings, and temperature settings. Also, volume
curves sometimes depart from target values when there
is a combination of low temperature and reduced power.
(2)
Primary amp
S The input impedance is 47kΩ.
S A buffer if R and C1 are not present.
S The gain can be set by R and the 20kΩ.
GVC = (R + 20kΩ) / R
Note: Set C2 (input coupling) and C1 (used to set the
gain) depending on the frequency band used.
(3)
Bass filter
S The BPF is composed of a multifeedback active filter.
fo can be varied according to the value of C.

Note: Filter gain is calculated using the equation on the left. Total output gain is the
sum of the gain for each of the internal circuits.

Treble filter
S Cutoff frequency (fC1) for the bypass filter can be
changed using the attached C3.
fC1 =
1
2π C3 2kΩ
The fC 1 for the recommended constant is
approximately 8 kHz.
S fC2 is determined by the band of the built-in amp.
fC2 is approximately 100 kHz.
Tone control is designed to yield a variation of
±15dB (Typ.) when the frequency to be boosted or
cut is at the peak or bottom of the filter frequency
characteristic, so please take the frequency characteristic into consideration in designing the filter.
(5) Signal level setting
The following figure represents the standard setting for
the BH3852FS / BH3852S.
LAs indicated above, if the front volume and rear volume
input level are set so as not to exceed +6dBV (2Vrms),
the pre-amp gain setting can be used to improve the S / N
ratio.

Matrix surround
The structure of the matrix surround is as shown in the
figure above. Use the equations shown in the figure to
calculate gain.

(7) DC control
It is recommended that DC control of the VC, TC, BC, and
SC pins be performed by voltage delivered in variable
volume from the Vref pin (12th pin). When using variable
volume, take the discharge current of each pin into account in determining its settings.
Note:The voltage range for DC control is 0 (V) to Vref (V).
Be sure not to apply voltage greater than Vref (V) to any
pin.
(8) GND
If several capacitors with good high-frequency characteristics are connected in parallel to the 12th-pin capacitor, the characteristics will be improved with respect to
static electricity noise. (Recommended : ceramic capacitors of 0.001µF to 0.1µF)
