Proper cares in using the IC (2) Loop filter capacitor C14-15

(1) Pin 9-used control When your set is designed with an input signal level of
Pin 9 is for stereo/monaural selection and VCO stop. 250mV or greater, the C14-15 is 1F. The capture range
When a voltage of less than 0.7V is applied to pin 9 or tends to extend with the input level. When your set is
pin 9 is grounded or brought into the open state, the designed with a high input signal level of 250mV or
stereo (automatic) mode is entered. When a voltage of greater, your set is liable to be affected by high-fre-
more than 2.1V is applied to pin 9, the VCO stops oper- quency signals or noises. Therfore, the loop filter ca-
ating and the stereo indicator is prevented from mal- pacitor (across pins 14 and 15) should be made large to
functioning. Therefore, no external measure against narrow the filter bandwidth. If C14-15=1F is used in
malfunction is required. When applying a voltage to pin your set with an input signal level of 250mV or greater,
9, the following should be noted. An applied voltage of the capture range is made a little narrower and your set
approximately 0.7V or 2.1V causes the internal transis- is hard to be affected by high-frequency signals.
tors to enter the active region and hum or noise is liable
to enter pin 9. Therefore, for example, the applied volt- (3) Phase compensation capactor (See Fig. 8)
age must be set to an intermediate voltage such as 0V, A capacitor of 620pF is connected across pin 3 and GND
1.4V, 2.8V. to compensate the phase lead caused by the decoupling
capacitor across pins 3 and 13 and the phase shift caused
by the PLL. If no phase compensation capacitor is con-
nected, the center of the separation characteristic plot-
ted against the free-running frequency is off 19.00kHz
and the margin for the free-running frequency drift and
adjustment error becomes narrow. Therefore, phase
compensation should be done.

(4) Separation control

The separation control is done to provide a single or
double hump response in the separation vs. free-run-
ning frequency characteristic as shown on next page.

When the VCO stop mode caused by application of a

voltage to pin 9 is released, the stereo indicator may be
turned ON momentarily. This phenomenon is liable to
occur if the value of the capacitor across pins 10 and 11
is large (C10-11>2 to 3F). The reason for this is that if
the VCO stop mode and forced monaural mode are re-
leased simultaneously when the C10-11 is charged with
the pin 10 side being at H level at the VCO stop mode,
the trigger circuit is turned ON until the C10-11 is dis-
charged. This can be prevented by making the release
of the forced monuarl mode a little later than that of the
VCO stop mode. For this purpose, the C9 is connected
across pin 9 and GND as shown below so that the volt-
age on pin 9 drops slowly at the time of release.

C9>2C10-11 is a rule-of thumb guide for the relation

between C9 and C10-11 which prevents the stereo in-
dicator from being turned ON mistakenly.

As is obvious from the figure shown above, the double

hump response has more margin for the free-running
frequency drift. The double hump response is obtained
by setting separation control resistance RS to a rather
large value. The separation varies with RS as shown
above and has peak point at RS380k give the single
hump response. Separation control should be done at a
point a little off this peak on the double hump response
side. For further details on separation, see the catalog
of the LA3350.
