LA1787M
Monolithic Linear IC
Single-Chip Tuner IC http://onsemi.com
for Car Radios

Overview
The LA1787M integrates all six blocks required in a car radio tuner on a single chip.
Functions
• FM front end • FM IF • Noise canceller • Multiple
• AM up-conversion • FM/AM switch • MRC
Features
• Improved noise reduction methods
— The FM front end provides excellent 3-signal characteristics equivalent to those of the LA1193M.
— Superlative listenability due to improved medium and weak field noise canceller characteristics.
— Improved separation characteristics
— Anti-birdie filter
— Improved AM and FM thermal characteristics
— Excellent FM signal meter linearity
— Modified N.C. circuit for improved noise rejection
• Improved AM adjacent channel interference characteristics (40 kHz)
• Double conversion AM tuner (up conversion) Reduces the number of external components required as compared to
earlier double conversion tuners, in particular, no crystal is required (when used in conjunction with the LC72144).
• Sample-to-sample variation reduction circuit built into the FM IF circuit.
(Fixed resistors are used for the SD, keyed AGC, mute on adjustment, ATT, SNC, and HCC functions.)
• Improved FM separation temperature characteristics
• The LA1787 inherits the block arrangement of the LA1780M and supports pin-compatible designs.

LA1787M Overview
1. Notes on the LA1781M, LA1784M, and LA1787M

The LA1784M is a version of the LA1781M that uses an external oscillator circuit, and has the same characteristics as
the LA1781M.
The LA1787M is a version of the LA1784M that features improved characteristics.
LA1781M LA1784M LA1787M
This product is a version of the LA1781M The LA1787M features improved

with the oscillator circuit removed. It characteristics over the LA1781M
supports the use of an external oscillator and LA1784M.
circuit.
It has the same characteristics as the
LA1781M.

LA1787M
2. Modified circuits
The following characteristics have been improved over those of the The LA1784M.
• The AM adjacent channel interference characteristics (∆40 kHz) have been improved.
• The AM S-meter curve slope has been increased.
• The FM separation temperature characteristics have been improved.
• The stereo indicator sensitivity has been improved.
• The FM oscillator circuit has been omitted.
(1) AM interference characteristics improvement
The second signal interference and suppression have been improved for adjacent channels (±40 kHz) by increasing
the AM second mixer input dynamic range.
(2) The AM S-meter curve slope has been increased.
The slope of the AM S-Meter curve has been increased from that of the LA1781M and LA1784M.

(3) FM separation temperature characteristics improvement

The temperature characteristics have been improved, the amount of change in the separation due to drift when at
power on has been stabilized. This makes it easier to adjust the separation.

(5) FM oscillator circuit removed

The internal FM oscillator circuit provided in the LA1781M has been removed. The FM oscillator level can be
adjusted by constructing an external circuit block.
*: However, this requires 4 more external parts than the LA1781M: 1 transistor and 3 resistors/capacitors.

• AM SD adjustment resistor (pin 55): Because Vsm is higher.
• AM level adjustment resistor (pin 31): Since the post-detection audio amplifier gain is higher than in the LA1781M
and LA1784M, the output level is also higher. This resistor must be changed
to match the set value.
• AM mixer coil (pin 54), IFT coil (pin 45) damp resistor: Since the IF block gain is increased, the mixer (pin 54) and
IFT (pin 45) coil damping must be adjusted.
• Separation adjustment resistor (pin 19): Since an internal 4 kΩ resistor has been added to the pin 19 input circuit to
improve the separation temperature characteristics, the value of the external
resistor must be reduced from that used with the LA1780M, LA1781M, and
LA1784M. (See the following page.)

• Intermodulation characteristics
The LA1787M applies two high-band AGC functions to prevent IM (the generation of intermodulation). These are
the narrow AGC (pin 58: mixer input detection type) and the wide AGC (for the pin 55 input), and this results in the
antenna frequency characteristics shown in figure 2. The levels at which the AGC functions turn on are determined
by the capacitors attached at pins 55 and 58.

• Notes on second-channel attenuation suppression

Keyed AGC (3D AGC) is a technique for achieving good characteristics for both intermodulation and second-
channel attenuation at the same time. When the desired signal is faint or nonexistent, the high-band AGC level will
be essentially 0, and as a result automatic tuning may malfunction and blocking oscillation may occur in the
presence of strong interfering stations. Keyed AGC helps resolve these problems.
This 3D AGC technique uses information that has the following three frequency characteristics and is a unique
Sanyo-developed system for determining the high-band AGC level.

• The LA1787M includes two AGC circuits in its front end block.
— Antenna input limiter using a pin diode.
— FET second gate control
The AGC input pin is pin 59, and the AGC circuit turns on when a signal of about 30 mVrms is input.
AGC activation
The pin diode drive circuit turns on when VCC – V2 is greater than or equal to about 1 V, and input limitation is
applied to the antenna circuit. In application circuits, there will be an attenuation of about 30 to 40 dB. Next, when
an adequate current flows in the antenna attenuator pin diode, the inductance falls, the FET second gate voltage
drops, the FET gm falls, and the AGC operates. The recommended FET is the Sanyo 3SK263, which is an
enhancement-type MOSFET. Therefore, full AGC is applied when the voltage, VG2-S, between the second gate and
the source is 0. Note that if a depletion-type MOSFET is used, AGC will not be applied unless VG2-S is less than 0.

• Transient response characteristics during automatic tuning

The transient characteristics for SD and IF count buffer on/off operation are determined by the time constants of
the RC circuits attached to the following pins.
(1) Muting time constant: pin 33
(2) S-meter time constant: pin 24
(3) AFC time constant: pin 34
There are two points that require consideration when using fast tuning.
(1) The SD time constant due to the S-meter time constant
Since the current I24 (pin 24) varies with the field strength, the time constant also changes. There is no hysteresis
in the comparator.
If a smaller value is used for C24, you must select a value for C such that the AGC does not become unstable
when the pin 24 voltage is used for keyed AGC.

• Hall detection
The Hall detection function detects the level of the pin 36 quadrature input signal and then applies peak detection
to that result. The result is output from pin 33. This circuit has three effects.
(1) It assures that muting will be applied for weak inputs with an antenna input of under 5 dBµ. The amount of
attenuation is referenced to an antenna input of 60 dBµ, fm = 1 kHz, and a 22.5 kHz dev output, and is variable
from 10 dB to 40 dB when there is no input. Thus one feature of this circuit is that the weak input noise
attenuation and the –3 dB limiting sensitivity for over 5 dBµ inputs can be set independently.

(3) Unique features

One unique feature of the LA1784M is that if there are adjacent stations such that f1 = 98.1 MHz and f2 =
97.9 MHz, a search operation will not stop at 98.0 MHz. Since VAFC = 0 V and VSM = 3.6 V at 98.0 MHz in
the situations shown in figure 27 and 28, even though Hall detection would normally not operate and SD would
be high, in this IC the Hall detection circuit will operate, VMute will be set to 1.2 V (over 0.7 V) and the SD
signal will go low, thus preventing incorrect stopping of the search.

• Notes on the quadrature input level

When a strong field is being received the quadrature signal input (pin 36) requires a 200 mV rms input, and the
detection transformer and the damping resistor between pins 36 and 37 must be designed.
(We recommend the Sumida SA-208 transformer and a 10 kΩ resistor between pins 36 and 37.)
When the pin 36 input level falls below 160 mV rms, the Hall detection circuit operates and the pin 33 mute drive
output voltage increases. Therefore, when pin 36 input is from 160 to under 200 mV rms during strong field
reception, the muting circuit may or may not operate due to sample-to-sample variations between individual ICs.
Furthermore, the SD function may not operate, and the audio output level may be reduced. Incorrect operation due
to sample-to-sample variations and temperature characteristics can be prevented by keeping the pin 36 voltage at
200 mVrms or higher.

The wide band AGC circuit in this IC has the frequency characteristics shown above. The pin 46 input frequency
characteristics are identical to those of the RF amplifier gate. This AGC circuit serves to prevent distortion at the
FET input when a strong signal is applied to the antenna circuit. The level at which the AGC circuit turns on can be
adjusted to an arbitrary level with the wide band AGC adjustment resistor. A delayed AGC on level can be handled
by reducing the value of the adjustment resistor.

• AM low band cut adjustment method

The AM low band frequency characteristics can be adjusted with C42, which is inserted between pin 42 and VCC.
Since the detector is designed with VCC as the reference, C42 must be connected to VCC.

4. Noise Canceler Block
• The noise canceler input (pin 30) has an input impedance of about 50 kΩ. Check the low band frequency
characteristics carefully when determining the value of the coupling capacitor used. Note that fC will be about 3 Hz
when a 1 µF capacitor is used in the application.
• Pins 8 and 9 are used to set the noise detector sensitivity and the noise AGC. It is advisable to first set the noise
sensitivity for a medium field (an antenna input of about 50 dBµ) with pin 8 (the noise sensitivity setting pin), and
then set the AGC level for a weak field (20 to 30 dBµ) with pin 9 (the AGC adjustment pin). If the noise sensitivity
is increased, the AGC will become more effective but, inversely, the weak field sensitivity will be reduced.
Noise canceler 10 kHz overmodulation malfunction may be a problem. In particular, when an overmodulated
signal is input, the noise canceler may, in rare cases, malfunction. This is due to the fact that the IF detector output
has a waveform of the type shown in figure 43 due to the bands of the IF ceramic filters as shown below. (Here, the
antenna input is 60 dBµ, the ceramic filters are 150 kHz × 1 and 180 kHz × 2, f = 10 kHz, 180 kHz dev.) The noise
canceler reacts to the spikes (whiskers) generated due to this overmodulation, which results in distortion to the
audio output. (The spike components due to overmodulation occur due to the bands of the ceramic filters in the
tuner.) The following describes a method for resolving this problem. This incorrect operation due to
overmodulation is prevented by removing the spike components due to this overmodulation with a low-pass filter
consisting of a 1 kΩ resistor and a 2200 pF capacitor shown in figure 44. However, note that the FM separation
characteristics in the high band and the AM frequency characteristics will change.

The pilot canceler signal waveform (pin 19) is a 19 kHz signal that contains no third harmonic as shown in figure
48. Since this signal has the same phase as the pilot signal, no capacitor is required between pin 18 and ground.
Since it has no third harmonic component, excellent pilot cancellation can be acquired in both the left and right
channels by adjusting with a variable resistor.

The separation is adjusted by modifying the input level to the subdecoder with the variable resistor connected to
pin 19. Since only the sub-modulation level is changed by changing the variable resistor setting, the monaural
(main) output level is not changed. Furthermore, degradation of high band separation in the decoder can be avoided
if the impedance of the external capacitor (C) in the subchannel frequency band (23 to 53 kHz) is made sufficiently
smaller than the variable resistor.

Notes on the Noise Canceler

The noise canceler characteristics have been improved by implementing the circuit that determines the gate time in
logic. Since the time constant in earlier noise cancelers was determined by an RC circuit such as that shown in figure
52, the rise time shown in figure 53 was influenced by the values of the resistor and capacitor used. As a result the
noise exclusion efficiency was reduced by this delay in the rise time. In the LA1787M, this rise time was shortened by
implementing the circuit that determines the gate time in logic, allowing it to reliably exclude noise.
