ID DET
ID signal is FM modulated to second carrier (SIF2) with a 2.5kHz FM modulation after AM modulated to 55kHz 
PILOT sub-carrier with a 50% AM modulation. ID DET part consists of 3 blocks: that is filter block for extracting pilot 
carrier, AM detector block for AM detection of ID signal and digital block for detecting the frequency of provided ID 
signal logically. In the filter block, audio signal is removed by HPF and pilot signal is extracted by the automatically 
adjusted switch - capacitor BPF (band pass filter) with a center frequency of 55kHz. ID signal is extracted from the 
pilot carrier in the AM detector block, then Digital block detects the frequency of ID signal, The ID signal can be 
detected in the range shown as follow:
This block
’
s circuit is configured to reduce the blinking of the ID, and consequently has the following characteris-
tics: typ 1 sec and Max 1.5 sec delay when converting from Mono to Stereo, or to Bilingual. 0.3 sec delay when 
converting from Stereo or Bilingual to Mono. Therefore, when changing the channels on your TV set, a minimum of 
1.5 sec is needed for ID Detect Time.

The ID Detect Block of the S1A0688C01 can momentarily malfunction if the signal is weak. Hence, we recommend 
that you delay for at least 1 sec at Set MICOM before detecting the ID, if the ID changes at a fixed channel.
