3. Local OSC buffer output

• When local OSC buffer output wave form is saw-toothed at the SW mode, connect a resistance of 1.2k

Ω or

thereabouts across pin 24 and GND.

4. AM input pin

• It is desirable that the AM input pin (pin 21) be L-coupled to pin 20.

• Inputting to pin 21 can be done by DC-cutting with a capacitor. However, an unbalance in the RF amplifier

(differential amplifier) causes gain drop and whistle worsening.

5. Capacitance across pin 9 and GND.

A large capacitance across pin 9 and GND may cause a misstop

at an adjacent channel when the channel select speed is made

faster at the automatic channel select mode. In this case, decrease

the capacitance across pin 9 and GND. However, if too

decreased, the LED will flutter at low modulation frequencies at

the time of detuning. Therefore, it is recommended to fix the

capacitance across pin 9 and GND to be 3.3µF to 10µF. The

relation between modulation frequency and demodulation output

voltage on pin 9 with the capacitance across pin 9 and GND as a

parameter is shown right.

• LED lighting sensitivity setting for FM.

For the LED lighting sensitivity setting for FM, the IC input

may be 45dBµ to 60dBµ. With the variations in the front end

considered, it is ideal that the IC input in a standard receiving

set be 51dBµ to 54dBµ. The lower value of VR2 for the

LED lighting sensitivity setting is as illustrated right. Since

the variations in the front end cause the IC input setting

sensitivity to vary, it is recommended to use a value of VR2

at an input voltage lower than a standard setting by 6dB or

greater. For example, if IC input 53dBµ is taken as a

standard, use VR2

≤100kΩ at IC input 47dBµ.

2. AM/FM changeover

• Two selections are available for changeover as shown below

: (A) pin 19-used method and (B) pin 20-used method.

range, distortion and selectivity will get worse.

• For (A), a resistance of 68k

Ω at the IFT cold terminal, which is used to prevent the changeover circuit from

malfunctioning, must be connected.
