No.737-2/11 LA1245 Using the automatic search-stop signal Signal Meter-driving output circuit is equivalent to Figure. 1, signal meter driving output (abbreviated as VSM) is narrowed in band width and can be used as an automatic search-stop signal when a narrow band series resonator is connected to pin 15. VSM can be adjusted with R208 and R211 both in wide band and narrow band since R208 is inversely proportional to VSM, while R211 is proportional to VSM. R208 is related to the Q of narrow band signal meter. When the resistance of R208 is increased, the Q will be damped and the band width increased. On the other hand, R211 used as the output impeadance of VSM and affects the cut-off frequency and time constant of low pass filter for VSM and the meter drive impedance. The time constant τ and the cut-off frequency fc can be expressed as follows : τ = (C114+C115+CS) (R211//Rin) 1 fc = 2πτ A semi-fixed resistor is recommended to be used as R211 to cope with the fluctuation of VSM. Refer to Figure. 3 for the value of the semi-fixed resistor since this depends upon VSM and R208. Figure. 3 shows the lowest limit of the semi-fixed resistor in relation to R208 with the parameter of VSM set point, and the value of the semi-fixed resistor will be equal to or greater than that shown in Figure. 3. For example, when VSM=5V and R208=240Ω, R211 becomes 28kΩ. Thus, the value of the semi-fixed resistor is determined to be about 30kΩ. When the value of VSM is too large, it is limited and saturated to the source voltage so it is recommended to follow the condition of VSM≤VCC–2(V). When a narrow band serial resonator is used, include the resonant impedance to determine the value of R208. No.737-3/11 LA1245 Notes on LA1245 usage 1. When suddenly tuned to a broadcasting station of intermediate or high field strength, a large current of high frequency flows into the signal meter circuit, causing the local oscillator malfunctions and abnormal noises. To eliminate this : · Use R208≥240Ω for manual tuning type. · Use R208≥82Ω, and use the local oscillation coil at the 1/3 tap (except SW) for electronic tuning type (which uses a narrow band filter). 2. Use the bias on the condition RF VCC≤IF VCC, since abnormal noise levels might be caused when detuning a strong input on the codition RF VCC>IF VCC. 3. Use the signal meter driving output (VSM) at VSM≤VCC–2 (V) to avoid saturation caused by VCC. 4. Use 1/2 or more tap of LW and MW oscillation coil to improve S/N and the detuning characteristics of the distortion ratio. 5. Use the full-tap of SW oscillation coil, to allow the sag in oscillation power by the decreasing of Q. 6. Avoid the coupling of the antenna tuning circuit and the local oscillating circuit so as not to leak the local oscillation into the antenna tuning circuit. 7. Connect the detection capacitor C113 between pin 13 (output) and pin 14 (VCC) to avoid the leakage of the IF signal into the GND line. Connection between pin 13 and pin 12 (GND) increases the tweet interference and deteriorates the usable sensitivity. Moreover, depending on the positions of C113 and the bar antenna, higher harmonics having twice or three times the frequency of the IF signal may pass into the antenna and cause tweet interference, and in extreme cases oscillation might be cause. To prevent this : · Shorter lead wires and connect them near 13 and 14 pins. · Place C113 far from the antenna. No.737-4/11 LA1245 8. When a cable or something similar is connected to a local oscillation buffer (pin 20), which is equivalent to connecting a capacitor of about 20pF, the output from the buffer will be of sawtooth waves, causing the level low at the short wave band. To prevent this, connect a resistor between pin 20 and GND, which will increase the operating current of the buffer amplifier. Since the maximum current obtained from pin 20 is 2mA, the suitable resistance between pin 20 and GND is 1.5kΩ. 9. Use a semi-fixed resistor for R211 to allow the fluctuation of VSM. 10. When changing an IFT or using an RF tuner, select a filter and related circuits according to the following conditions. The input levels of each terminal where 30% modulated detection output of –25dBm is obtained are as follows : Pin 11 input when Rg=520Ω (470Ω + 50Ω) 75dBµ Pin 9 input when Rg=50Ω 53dBµ Pin 6 input when Rg=50Ω 48dBµ Pin 3 input when Rg=50Ω 22dBµ Slight change in IFT, however, will be covered by changing the constant of resistors R202 and R204. 11. When the coupling coefficient of the local oscillation coil is small and an anti-resonance point of about 100MHz is present or the stray capacitance between pin 19 and pin 20 is large, the buffer output (pin 20) may be subject to parasitic oscillation of about 100MHz. In this case, connect a capacitor of about 30pF between pin 20 and GND. To observe parasitic oscillation, connect a capacitor of 5pF in series with the probe. If the probe is connected direct to pin 20, the input capacitance of the probe causes parasitic oscillation to stop, which makes it impossible to observe.
