Individual pins and their operations
As shown above, when input level is raised and the pin 2 voltage reaches the V
TH-H
level of the comparator, pins 5 and 7 turn
over. (V
IN
= 45 dBm).
.
pin 5 is for driving plungers. When it is on the ‘‘L’’ side, pin 5 turns on and can draw current up to 50 mA maximum.
.
Pin 6 is a diode that prevents reverse voltages induced when the plunger is turned off from on.
.
Pin 7 functions in phase with pin 5 and can drive external transistors (such as for MUTE).

Time delays and obtaining CRs
When input signals that have been applied at a level not less than 45 dBm are removed, discharging occurs through the CR
connected at pin 2, lowering pin 2 potential. A time delay is provided before the hysteresis comparator turns over.

We recommend 150 k

for R when determining CR.
Maximum ratings
When maximum ratings are surpassed, destruction or deterioration may result.
.
Interpin short circuits and reverse insertions
These cause destruction or deterioration of the IC: be careful when mounting on circuit board.
.
Voltage applied to pin 7 should never exceed pin 8 voltage.
.
The current flowing into pin 7 is to be 0.5 mA maximum.
