FM Radio Tuner with VCO using the SVC704

FM Radio Tuner with VCO
Using the SVC704
Application Note
Overview
This application note explains about ON Semiconductor’s
SVC704 which is used as a Voltage Controlled Oscillator
(VCO) for FM Radio Tuner.
www.onsemi.com
The SVC704 is used to adjust the oscillation frequency of a
tuning circuit of Radio since its capacitance value can be
changed depending on the DC voltage applied.
The evaluation board is adjusted to Intermediate Frequency
of 10.7MHz.
A standard material FR4 is used for the printed circuit board
(PCB).
