CIRCUIT
DESCRIPTIONS
FM FrontEnd
A unitized variable capacitor type front end
unit is used consisting of an FET RF singlestage
amp, Iocal oscillator/mixer IC and €rnIF trans-
former.
FM lF Amp, Detector
andMPX Circuit
A 2-transistor IF amp with ceramic filter is used
and the next stage
hasan IC (M51533L) contain-
ing the FM IF detector and MPX circuit. The block
diagramof IC M51533L is shown in Fig. 5-1.This
IC uses a peak detection method which can be
adjusted with a single coil. The PLL method is
employed to reconstitute the 38kHz sub-carrier
for the MPX circuit.
The IF signalis input at pin 1 and the detection
output is obtained from pin 5. The detection out-
put passes
through the muting Q4, goesto pin 9,
passesthrough the MPX circuit and the stereo
signals are obtained from pins 11 and L2. In
addition, this unit detects the presence
or absence
TL OUT ROUT
of a pilot signal to automatically switch between
stereo and mono reception by R14 which is con-
nected to pin 14. When a stereo signal is received,
pin 13 drops to the low level to light the stereo
indicator. When pin 2 is grounded, the PLL VCO
andFM IF operationstop (for AM).
FM Muting
andLED Driver
With this unit, muting is automatically activated
when the antenna input drops below 10pV. As the
antenna input decreases,the voltage at pin 3
drops, Q5 is turned off and Q6 is turned on. As a
result, the gate voltage of Q4 drops, Q4 is turned
off and the detector output circuit is blocked
(Fig. 5-1). When an FM or AM station is tuned
in, the base
potential of Qb is raised,Q5 is turned
on and the tuning indicator lights.
