VCO stop method One of the following is used to stop VCO. The monaural mode is forced to be entered at the time of VCO stop. (1) VCO stop method ¡ (a) For loop filter capacitors (C9, C10 in Fig. 1), use one of the following. (1) Non-polarized capacitor (2) Polyester film capacitor [Reason] When in the VCO stop mode, external voltage VS causes an unpolarized voltage of approximately 1.5V to be developed across pins 14 and 15. (b) Setting of external voltage VS and limiting resistor RS. The relation between VS and RS is shown in Fig. 9. When in the VCO stop mode, the value of RS must be set so that the voltage on pin 11 is within the specified range (min=5.5V, max=VCC–3V). For example, it is seen from Fig. 9 that the value of limiting resistor RS is approximately 4.2kΩ when the voltage on pin 11 is set to 6V at VS=12V. No.1407–4/13 LA3410 (2) VCO stop method ™ (a) Addition of diode (small-signal silicon diode) Diode D1 is additionally connected across pins 11 and 15 as shown in Fig. 2. In this case, the use of nonpolarized capacitors for C9, C10 across pins 14 and 15 involves no problem (pin 15 : + polarity). (Note) When D1 is connected across pins 11 and 14, stereo start time may be 2 to 3 seconds late as compared with the application in Fig. 2. (b) Setting of external voltage VS and limiting resistor RS. The relation between VS and RS is shown in Fig. 10. When in the VCO stop mode, the value of RS must be set so that the voltage on pin 11 is within the specified range (min=5.5V, max=VCC–3V). For example, it is seen from Fig.10 that the value of limiting resistor RS is approximately 2.2kΩ when the voltage on pin 11 is set to 6V at VS=12V. 2. Checking of free-running frequency Since no pin is provided for checking the free-running frequency, the free-running frequency is checked through a burrer amplifier with a high input impedance, low input capacitance connected to pin 16. Fig. 3 shows a sample circuit configuration. The frequency measured in this circuit configuration is 456kHz or thereabouts. The frequency in 19kHz equivalent can be obtained by dividing this measured value by 24. The wiring across pin 16 and the buffer amplifier input must be made as short as possible (within 1cm). 3. Ceramic resonator Ceramic resonators other than specified cannot be used in applications of the LA3410. The Type No., manufacturer of the ceramic resonators specified are shown below. For particulars about the ceramic resonator, contact the mamufacturer. Type No. Manufacturer CSB456F11 Murata KBR-457HS Kyocera 4. Capture range and PLL loop filter constants (1) Definition of capture range Since the VCO of the LA3410 is adjustment-free, the capture range is defined by the following formula with the deviation of the free-running frequency from the pilot signal considered. Capture range C. R= F0–F1 – F0–456 F1 456 × 100 [%] F0 : Free-running frequncy F1 : Lock frequency when the input frequency is varied No.1407–5/13 LA3410 (2) PLL loop filter constants (a) The capture range of the LA3410 depends primarily on input pilot level and PLL loop filter constants C9 and R8 as shown in Fig. 4-A. It is necessary to set C9 and R8, with the input pilot level considered, so that the capture range becomes wide but the stereo distortion is kept rather low. The transfer function of the loop filter is given by : Lag filter F (S)= 1 SC9R0+1 Lag Lead filter F (S)= SC10R8+1 SC10 (R0+R8)+1 R0 : IC internal resistance and the response is given by Fig.4-B. The capture range may be made wide by the following methods. ¡ Set 3 high to make the band width wide (Decrease C9). ™ Increase the high frequency gain F (∞) so long as the characteristic of the Lag Lead filter is not lost (Increases R8). Fig. 4-C shows the capture range characteristic when C9 and R8 are varied. When R8 is increased, the capture range will increase to a certain point. R8 must be set in this range. When R8 is increased, the STEREO-L, R distortion may worsen at low frequencies (100 to 400Hz). In this case, connect a capacitor of 200 to 1000pF across pin 3 and GND to improve the STEREO-L, R distortion (Refer to Fig. 5). (3) Fig. 4-D shows the capature range characteristic when C10 is varied. The adequate value of C10, which depends on C9 and R8, is 0.33 to 3.3µF. If the value of C10 is decreased too much, the capture range will decrease as seen from Fig. 3 ; and if increased too much, the stereo start time after VCO STOP release will be made late. No.1407–6/13 LA3410 (4) When C9 is decreased, the capture range will widen but the stereo main distortion at f=10kHz will worsen (beat distortion). This data is shown in Fig. 4-E. Set C2 so that the stereo distortion is kept rather low. (5) The data on pilot level vs. capture range is shown in Fig. 4-F to G. It is necessary to set the loop filter constants, with the input pilot level considered, so that the capture range becomes wide. For example, when the LA1260 is used for IF IC, the minimum demodulation output will be 183mV (100% mod) and the stereo operation must be performed at pilot level 12mV with a pilot margin allowed. In this case, C2=0.1µF, R1=6.8 to 10kΩ are recommended. 5. Improvement in sub, stereo (R) distortions worsened at low frequencies. There are some cases where the sub, stereo (R) distortions are worsened at low frequencies. One cause for this worsening is the phase shift between 38kHz and 19kHz in the flip-flop inside the IC. This shift is improved by connecting a phase compensating capacitor across pin 3 and GND as shown in Fig. 5. The CD value differs with each IF (the phase shift between the sub signal and pilot signal in the composite signal differs with each IF). An adequate value is 200 to 1500pF. No.1407–7/13 LA3410 6. Separation adjust The separatin is adjusted by varying the main signal level in the composite signal. The main signal is applied to the post amplifier input through amplifiers A1, A3. The input level in A3 is varied by internal resistor RA and external variable resistor VR1. Therefore, the output main signal becomes 0 at VR1=0 and is maximized at VR1=∞. The separation is presettable if VR1 is set to an adequate value. In this case, the VR1 value differs with each set ; X of VR1 is approxmately 150kΩ when the ratio of the main signal and sub signal at the LA3410 input is 1 : 1 and the sub signal and pilot signal are in phase. The separation, when preset, varies 30dB min. with the variations in the IC only considered. If the value of capacitor C8 for DC cut is decreased, the separation gets worse at low frequencies. 7. Post amplifier oscillation when loaded capacitively (inductively) If the post amplifier outputs (pins 4, 7) are loaded capacitively (inductively), oscillation may occur. When connecting a low-pass filter to each of the outputs, an input resistor must be connected across the post amplifier output and the lowpass filter and the wiring across these points must be made as short as possible. 8. Forced monaural mode The following method is used to provide the forced monaural mode. In this case, VCO oscillation does not stop. The above-mentioned VCO stop method is used to stop VCO oscillation. · Connect pin 10 to GND through a resistor of 10kΩ. Other application circuit 1. How to improve the dynamic range of the post amplifier The amplifier bias voltage is set low (3.0V) so that the LA3410 is capable of being operated from low voltage. If the supply voltage is high, the following method can be used to extend the dynamic range. Fig. 6 shows how to extend the dynamic range of the post amplifier. When RB is not used, the DC voltage across pins 4 and 7 is 3.0V. The DC volatage across pins 4 and 7 can be increased to extend the dynamic range of the post amplifier. Pins 5, 6, being minus input pins of the post amplifier, are virtual GND points. By connecting RB across pin 5 and GND and across pin 6 and GND, the DC voltages on pins 4, 7 are obtained as follows : 3.0 RB+R1 R =3.0 (1+ 1 ) RB RB 3.0 RB+R2 R =3.0 (1+ 2 ) RB RB The upper and lower loss voltages of the post amplifier are approximately 2V and 0.5V respectively. With these loss voltages considered, the voltages on pins 4, 7 are set. For example, Figs. 11, 12 show how the dynamic range is improved when the DC voltages on pins 4, 7 are set to approximately 5.2V with upper loss voltage 2V and lower loss voltage 0.5V of the post amplifier considered. Fig. 11 shows the characteristic where no RB is connected ; Fig. 12 shows the characteristic where RB=82kΩ is connected. 2. Feedback resistance of post amplifier and total gain Table 2 shows the feedback resistance of the post amplifier and the total gain. Fig. 13 shows the distortion vs. feedback resistance characteristic. Figs. 14, 15 show the sample application circuits where R1 (R2) is 100kΩ and 130kΩ respectively. R1 (R2)kΩ C3 (C4)pF Total gain [dB] Output signal voltage typ [mV] 62 750 8.5 730 82 620 11 965 100 510 13 1177 130 390 15 1530 150 330 16 1766 180 270 17..5 2119 Table 2. R1 (R2), C3 (C4) – gain No.1407–8/13 LA3410 Decoder circuit (Refer to the Block Diagram in the Sample Application Circuit.) The LA3410 adopts a decoder circuit of chopper type. The sub signal sync-detected by this decoder is applied to the post amplifier minus input through RB as shown in the Sample Application Circuit. This signal is matrixed with the main signal coming out of A3. The demodulation method is, in a sense, a combination of switching method and matrix method. The gain for the sub signal is : VS R1 2 · RB π or VS R2 2 · RB π R1, R2 : Post amplifier feedback resistor VS : Peak value of input sub signal The gain for the main signal is : VM VR1 R1 · RA+VR1 RC or VM VR1 R2 · RA+VR1 RC VR1 : VM : Semifixed resistor for separation adjust Peak value of input main signal In the LA3410, the gain of the main signal is varied with VR1 to adjust the separation. The IF output is generally such that the sub signal level is lower than the main signal level. In this case also, the separation can be adjusted. 3. De-emphasis The de-emphasis characteristic depends on the feedback resistors, capacitors of the post amplifier. R1, R2, C3, C4 in the Sample Application Circuit are set as R1C3=R2C4=50µs, 75µs. Table 3 shows the values of R1, R2, C3, C4 and the de-emphasis constants. Table 3 R1 (R2) C2 (C4)50µs C2 (C4)75µs 33kΩ 1500pF 2200pF 39kΩ 1200pF 2000pF 51kΩ 1000pF 1500pF 62kΩ 750pF 1000pF 82kΩ 620pF 910pF 110kΩ 470pF 680pF 130kΩ 390pF 560pF The post amplifier requires feedback capacitors C3, C4 regardless of the de-emphasis characteristic. Without these capacitors, the stereo distortion gets worse. 4. Low-pass filter Fig. 8 shows a sample circuit configuration where an LC filter is used as the low-pass filter and Fig. 16 shows a sample characteristic of this filter. As compared with the LPF (BL-13) in the Sample Application Circuit, the use of this filter makes the attenuation less at 19kHz, 38kHz ; therefore, carrier leak at the LPF output causes the stereo distortion and separation characteristic to get worse than specified in the Operating Characteristics. For the stereo distortion, the BL13 provides approximately 0.02%, while the LC filter provides approximately 0.5% No.1407–9/13 LA3410 No.1407–10/13 LA3410 No.1407–11/13 LA3410 No.1407–12/13 LA3410 Specifications of any and all SANYO products described or contained herein stipulate the performance, characteristics, and functions of the described products in the independent state, and are not guarantees of the performance, characteristics, and functions of the described products as mounted in the customer's products or equipment.
