LA1837. AM/FM IF and MPX IC that supports electronic tuning.Datasheet

The LA1837 is a single-chip AM/FM IF and MPX IC that supports electronic tuning and was developed for use in home
stereo systems. It is optimal for use in automatic station selection systems that use the SD and IF counting techniques.

On-chip MPX VCO (no external components required).
• Adjacent channel interference rejection function (third and fifth order).
• Supports both the SD and the IF counting techniques.
• The AM and FM SD sensitivities can be set independently.
• The AM and FM output levels can be set independently.
• Improved AM practical sensitivity and high-input distortion characteristics

  • • AM : RF amplifier, mixer, oscillator, IF amplifier, detector AGC, oscillator buffer, S-meter, narrowband SD,
    IF buffer
    • FM-IF : IF amplifier, quadrature detector, S-meter, Scurve detector, IF buffer output
    • MPX : PLL stereo decoder, stereo display, forced mono, VCO stop, post amplifier, audio muting, adjacent channel
    interference rejection function
