1. Measured using the standard circuit.
2. The time taken under stable wave input conditions from when power is applied or standby is released, using PON, until stable digital output occurs
within ratings.
3. The time taken, with 10:1 input signal amplitude ratio and 500ms pulsewidth, from when a change in signal input amplitude occurs until the output
OUT changes. Note that this characteristic is very dependent on the antenna and crystal filter characteristics. The standard crystal used for crystal filter by our measurement has the following equivalent circuit coefficients as reference values.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Antenna Input and Tuning Capacitor Switching Function

IN3
AGC Amp
IN2
FCN
There are three antenna inputs: IN1, IN2, and IN3. When FCN is open (or HIGH), the internal analog switch is
OFF and IN1–IN2 are the antenna inputs (60kHz mode). When FCN is LOW, the analog switch is ON, connecting IN3 and IN2. C2 is then connected in parallel to C1 in the tuning circuit, reducing the resonant frequency (40kHz mode).

FCN should be left open if not using the tuning capacitor switching function, and IN2 should be connected to
IN3 externally.
AGC Amplifier and Gain Hold Function
The input voltage from the antenna is amplified by the AGC amplifier. The gain can be monitored by the voltage on pin CP, and can be changed by varying the CP voltage. An external capacitor Cp can be connected to CP
to stabilize the voltage, but the gain tracking time is dependent on the capacitance. When HLDN is open (or
HIGH), the gain automatically adjusts to follow the post-amplifier detector signal. When HLDN is LOW, the
immediately preceding gain is held for an interval determined by the Cp capacitance.

60kHz
External crystals are used as filters. Multiple frequencies (40kHz and 60kHz) are supported by connecting
crystals in parallel. The center frequency and bandwidth of the filters is determined by the crystal characteristics. If the center frequency is lower than the target frequency, C×40 and C×60 can be added to change the resonant frequency. And R×40 and R×60 can be added to adjust the filter Q factor. Internally, pin XO is linked to
pin XI by a phase-inverted signal passed through a capacitor, which cancels the high-frequency components
that pass through the crystal parallel capacitances.
Detector Circuit
The amplified signal is full-wave rectified and passed through a lowpass filter detector. The detector output is
input to peak hold (pin CP) and bottom hold (pin CB) circuits to form the decoder reference potentials and
peak hold potential for AGC control.
