Monolithic Linear IC
LA1781M
For Car Radios
Single-Chip Tuner IC
Overview
The LA1781M integrates all six blocks required in a car radio tuner on a single chip.
Features
• Improved noise reduction methods
The FM front end provides excellent 3-signal characteristics equivalent to those of the LA1193M.
Superlative listenability due to improved medium and weak field noise canceller characteristics.
Improved separation characteristics.
Anti-birdie filter.
Improved AM and FM thermal characteristics.
Excellent FM signal meter linearity.
Modified N.C. circuit for improved noise rejection.
• Double conversion AM tuner (up conversion)
Reduces the number of external components required as compared to earlier double conversion tuners, in particular,
no crystal is required (when used in conjunction with the LC72144).
• Sample-to-sample variation reduction circuit built into the FM IF circuit.
(Fixed resistors are used for the SD, keyed AGC, mute on adjustment, ATT, SNC, and HCC functions.)
• The LA1781 inherits the block arrangement of the LA1780M and supports pin-compatible designs.
Functions
• FM front end
• Multiplex
• FM IF
• AM up-conversion
• Noise canceller
• FM/AM switch
• MRC

Notes on interference rejection characteristics
• Intermodulation characteristics
The LA1781M applies two high-band AGC functions to prevent IM (the generation of intermodulation). These are
the narrow AGC (pin 58 : mixer input detection type) and the wide AGC (for the pin 55 input), and this results in the
antenna frequency characteristics shown in figure 2. The levels at which the AGC functions turn on are determined by
the capacitors attached at pins 55 and 58.

• Notes on second-channel attenuation suppression
Keyed AGC (3D AGC) is a technique for achieving good characteristics for both intermodulation and secondchannel
attenuation at the same time. When the desired signal is faint or nonexistent, the high-band AGC level will be
essentially 0, and as a result automatic tuning may malfunction and blocking oscillation may occur in the presence of
strong interfering stations. Keyed AGC helps resolve these problems.
This 3D AGC technique uses information that has the following three frequency characteristics and is a unique
Sanyo-developed system for determining the high-band AGC level.
RF and ANT circuit information : Mixer input AGC
Mixer circuit information : Mixer output AGC
CF selectivity information : S-meter output

The narrow AGC sensitivity is controlled by a voltage (V23) that is under
0.5V.
• Allows effective resolution of second-channel attenuation problems
without under 0.5 V. degrading three-signal characteristics.
The wide AGC can operate even when V23 = 0 (when the desired station
is not present).
• Seek operations may stop incorrectly due to the occurrence of
intermodulation.
• It is possible to prevent the occurrence of intermodulation in the RF
tuning circuit and antenna in the presence of strong interfering stations,
and blocking oscillation due to AGC operation can be prevented.
The narrow and wide AGC sensitivities can be set independently.
• Settings can be optimized for the field conditions.
(See figure 3 and 4.)
The system has two AGC systems : narrow and wide AGC.
• Since the narrow AGC operates for the desired station and adjacent
(See figure 5.)
stations, the wide AGC sensitivity can be lowered and AGC malfunction
due to local oscillator signal can be prevented.

• The LA1781M includes two AGC circuits in its front end block.
(1) Antenna input limiter using a pin diode.
(2) FET second gate control
The AGC input pin is pin 59, and the AGC circuit turns on when a signal of about 30mVrms is input.
AGC activation
The pin diode drive circuit turns on when VCC - V2 is greater than or equal to about 1V, and input limitation is
applied to the antenna circuit. In application circuits, there will be an attenuation of about 30 to 40dB. Next, when an
adequate current flows in the antenna attenuator pin diode, the inductance falls, the FET second gate voltage drops,
the FET gm falls, and the AGC operates. The recommended FET is the Sanyo 3SK263, which is an
enhancement-type MOSFET. Therefore, full AGC is applied when the voltage, VG2-S, between the second gate and
the source is 0. Note that if a depletion-type MOSFET is used, AGC will not be applied unless VG2-S is less than 0.

• Transient response characteristics during automatic tuning
The transient characteristics for SD and IF count buffer on/off operation are determined by the time constants of the
RC circuits attached to the following pins.
(1) Muting time constant : pin 33
(2) S-meter time constant : pin 24
(3) AFC time constant : pin 34
There are two points that require consideration when using fast tuning.
(1) The SD time constant due to the S-meter time constant
Since the current I24 (pin 24) varies with the field strength, the time constant also changes. There is no hysteresis in
the comparator.
If C24 is made smaller and the pin 24 voltage is used for the keyed AGC pin 23, C23 must be chosen so that AGC
during keyed AGC operation does not become unstable.

(pin 23), there are cases, such as that shown below, where current in the test system may be seen as flowing to

• Hall detection
The Hall detection function detects the level of the pin 36 quadrature input signal and then applies peak detection to
that result. The result is output from pin 33. This circuit has three effects.
(1) It assures that muting will be applied for weak inputs with an antenna input of under 5dBμ. The amount of
attenuation is referenced to an antenna input of 60dBμ, fm = 1kHz, and a 22.5kHz dev output, and is variable from
10dB to 40dB when there is no input. Thus one feature of this circuit is that the weak input noise attenuation and
the -3dB limiting sensitivity for over 5dBμ inputs can be set independently.

(2) When the pin 36 quadrature input is a saturated input, the pin 36 noise level (Va) is detected and a peak-hold

fields that result in an antenna input level of over 5dBμ.

(3) Unique features
One unique feature of the LA1781M is that if there are adjacent stations such that f1 = 98.1MHz and f2 =
97.9MHz, a search operation will not stop at 98.0MHz. Since VAFC = 0V and VSM = 3.6V at 98.0MHz in the
situations shown in figure 27 and 28, even though Hall detection would normally not operate and SD would be
high, in this IC the Hall detection circuit will operate, VMute will be set to 1.2V (over 0.7V) and the SD signal
will go low, thus preventing incorrect stopping of the search.

• Notes on the quadrature input level
When a strong field is being received the quadrature signal input (pin 36) requires a 200mVrms input, and the
detection transformer and the damping resistor between pins 36 and 37 must be designed.
(We recommend the Sumida SA-208 transformer and a 10kΩ resistor between pins 36 and 37.)
When the pin 36 input level falls below 160mVrms, the Hall detection circuit operates and the pin 33 mute drive
output voltage increases. Therefore, when pin 36 input is from 160 to under 200mV rms during strong field reception,
the muting circuit may or may not operate due to sample-to-sample variations between individual ICs.
Furthermore, the SD function may not operate, and the audio output level may be reduced. Incorrect operation due to
sample-to-sample variations and temperature characteristics can be prevented by keeping the pin 36 voltage at
200mVrms or higher.

Pin 46 input -- MHz
The wide band AGC circuit in this IC has the frequency characteristics shown above. The pin 46 input frequency
characteristics are identical to those of the RF amplifier gate. This AGC circuit serves to prevent distortion at the FET
input when a strong signal is applied to the antenna circuit. The level at which the AGC circuit turns on can be
adjusted to an arbitrary level with the wide band AGC adjustment resistor. A delayed AGC on level can be handled by
reducing the value of the adjustment resistor.

7. Noise Canceler Block
• The noise canceler input (pin 30) has an input impedance of about 50kΩ. Check the low band frequency
characteristics carefully when determining the value of the coupling capacitor used. Note that fC will be about 3Hz
when a 1μF capacitor is used in the application.
• Pins 8 and 9 are used to set the noise detector sensitivity and the noise AGC. It is advisable to first set the noise
sensitivity for a medium field (an antenna input of about 50dBμ) with pin 8 (the noise sensitivity setting pin), and
then set the AGC level for a weak field (20 to 30dBμ) with pin 9 (the AGC adjustment pin). If the noise sensitivity is
increased, the AGC will become more effective but, inversely, the weak field sensitivity will be reduced.
Noise canceler 10kHz overmodulation malfunction may be a problem. In particular, when an overmodulated signal is
input, the noise canceler may, in rare cases, malfunction. This is due to the fact that the IF detector output has a
waveform of the type shown in figure 43 due to the bands of the IF ceramic filters as shown below. (Here, the antenna
input is 60dBμ, the ceramic filters are 150kHz × 1 and 180kHz × 2, f = 10kHz, 180kHz dev.) The noise canceler
reacts to the spikes (whiskers) generated due to this overmodulation, which results in distortion to the audio output.
(The spike components due to overmodulation occur due to the bands of the ceramic filters in the tuner.) The
following describes a method for resolving this problem. This incorrect operation due to overmodulation is prevented
by removing the spike components due to this overmodulation with a low-pass filter consisting of a 1kΩ resistor and
a 2200pF capacitor shown in figure 44. However, note that the FM separation characteristics in the high band and the
AM frequency characteristics will change.

The pilot canceler signal waveform (pin 19) is a 19kHz signal that contains no third harmonic as shown in figure 48.
Since this signal has the same phase as the pilot signal, no capacitor is required between pin 18 and ground.
Since it has no third harmonic component, excellent pilot cancellation can be acquired in both the left and right
channels by adjusting with a variable resistor.

The separation is adjusted by modifying the input level to the subdecoder with the variable resistor connected to pin

output level is not changed. Furthermore, degradation of high band separation in the decoder can be avoided if the
impedance of the external capacitor (C) in the subchannel frequency band (23 to 53kHz) is made sufficiently smaller
than the variable resistor.

Notes on the Noise Canceler
The noise canceler characteristics have been improved by implementing the circuit that determines the gate time in
logic. Since the time constant in earlier noise cancelers was determined by an RC circuit such as that shown in figure
52, the rise time shown in figure 53 was influenced by the values of the resistor and capacitor used. As a result the
noise exclusion efficiency was reduced by this delay in the rise time. In the LA1781M, this rise time was shortened by
implementing the circuit that determines the gate time in logic, allowing it to reliably exclude noise.
