The compensations provided in order to have high gain bandwith product allowing the use for double speed recording application. Figure 15 AUTOMATIC LEVEL CONTROL SYSTEM (ALC) This system maintains the level of the signal to be recorded at a value which prevents saturation of the tape and which optimizes the signal to noise ratio even there are notable variations in the input signal. Before presenting the ALC circuit of TDA7284 it is worth describing the operation of the automatic level control as a system.A diagram showing the basis of operation is given in fig.16. Figure 16: Basic Diagram of the ALC stage This consists of an amplifier (op-amp) having constant gain (GV = 1+R4/R3),which in feedback transforms output signal level information (usually by means of a peak-to-peak detector) into a continuous voltage which drives the networks indicated by T and Rd. The element T transforms the continuous voltage level into a signal capable of modifying the circuit conditions symbolized by variable resistor Rd. The value assumed by the resistor Rd is a function of the output signal level Vo and is such that the voltage Vc at the input of the op-amp is constant,even variations of Vi are present.Obviously if Vo is less than a certain value the system is not controlled. In this case : VI = VC=VO / GV (GV is the gain of the op-amp) For the TDA7284 the value of Vo below which the system is not controlled is around 1 Vrms. Let us now consider the speed of response of the system (when controlled) to positive and negative changes of the input signal i.e. the limiting time,the time for return to nominal level (1 Vrms) and the recovery time. Limiting time, and time for return to nominal level. Let us suppose that at certain moment To, the input signal increases by +∆Vi as shown in fig. 17. 8/14 TDA7284 Figure 17: Limiting and Level Setting Time (∆VI =+40 dB) is to be recorded, the best value of Ts is between 200 and 300ms. Recovery time. let us now suppose that at the instant To the input signal decreases of ∆Vi (fig. 18). Figure 18: Recovery Time Usually such an increase drives the op-amp into saturation and the time for which it remains in this condition is called the limiting time(T1). T1 depends on the relationship between the external capacitances, the time constant T=R1 • C1, the supply voltage and the signal variation. The criteria for choosing the length of T1 are the result of several compromises. In particular if T1 is too long, there will be audible distortion during playback (during T1 the output is a square wave),and if it is too short, the sensation of increased level will be lost while dynamic compression phenomena and instability may occur. The time for return to nominal level is defined as the total time between the instant To and the instant in which the output reassumes the nominal value. This time (Ts) is roughly equal to 5 • T1. On the basis of tests carried out it has been found that a musical signal with high dynamic range The recovery time (Trec) is defined as the time between the instant To and the instant in which the output signal returns to the nominal level. This time depends essentially on the discharge time constant of R2 • C2 ( see fig. 16) and on the size of the step -∆Vi. In this case too, if this time is too long the signal to noise ratio on the tape deteriorates. If it is too short the sensation of the low signal level is lost during playback. The ALC system of the TDA7284 Fig. 16 becomes the following (fig. 19) where the Figure 19 9/14 TDA7284 peak-to-peak detector of fig. 16 is now inside the broken line 1 while the system which allows a dinamic resistance varying with the DC voltage level (i.e. inversely proportional to the op-amp output signal),is inside the broken line 2. It should be noted that the generator resistance Ri has no influence on the controlled voltage value Vc, although its value should be between 1 and 47 Kohm. The lower limit is determined by the minimum dynamic resistance of 10 ohm and therefore to have a control range of 40 dB for the input signal, Ri must be greather than 1.5 Kohm. The upper limit results from the necessity to limit the attenuation of the signal by the input impedance of the op-amp. Switches Two DC-controlled switches are also included in the chip (fig. 20 ) Fig. 19 shows the typical application circuit of the TDA7284 utilizing the equalization switch for normal or chrome tape playback equalization.The advantage is the components can be placed near Figure 20 to the IC, while the tape selector switch can be at a remote location, hence reduce the chances of noise and oscillation due to components layout. Another advantage is that only one pole is needed for the tape selector switch as compared to the two poles needed by conventional circuits (one separate pole for each channel). Fig. 22 shows the use of the switches to obtain the mute function.
