FMIN
This is the input to the two FM demodulators. It
feeds two AGC amplifiers with a bandwidth of at
least 5-10MHz. There is one amplifier for each
channelboth withthe sameinput.TheAGCampli-
fiers havea 0dB to +40dBrange.

(max when all inputs are
addedtogether,when their phasescoincide).
AGC L, AGC R
AGC amplifiers peak detector capacitor connec-
tions.The outputcurrent hasan attack/decayratio
of 1:32. That is the ramp up current is approxi-
mately 5
μ
A and decay current is approximately
160
μ
A. 11V gives maximum gain. These pins are
also driven by a circuit monitoring the voltage on
AMPLKL and AMPLK R respectively.
AMPLK L, AMPLK R
The outputs of amplitude detectors LEFT and
RIGHT.Each requiresa capacitorand a resistorto
GND. The voltage across this is used to decide
whetherthereis a signalbeing receivedby the FM
detector. The level detector output drives a bit in
the detectorI
2
C bus control block.
AMPLK L and AMPLK R drive also respectively
AGCLand AGCR. For instancewhen the voltage
on AMPLK L is > (V
REF
+ 1 V

) it sinks current to

from pin AGCLto reducethe AGCgain.
DET L, DETR
Respectivelythe outputsof the FMphasedetector

This is for the connectionof an external loop filter
for the PLL. The output is a push-pull current
source.
CPUMPL, CPUMPR
The output from the frequency synthesizer is a
push-pullcurrentsourcewhichrequiresa capacitor

target frequency.The output is

V
REF
This isthe audioprocessorvoltagereferenceused
through out the FM/audio section of the chip. As
such it is essential that it is well decoupled to
ground to reduce as far as possible the risk of
crosstalk and noise injection. This voltage is de-
rived directlyfrom the bandgapreferenceof 2.4V.
The V

output can sink up to 500

operationand 100

REF
Thisis abufferedV
REF
outputto an off-chipresistor
to produce an accurate current reference, within
the chip, for the biasing of amplifiers with current
outputs into filters. It is also required for the Noise
reduction circuit to provide accurate roll-off fre-
quencies. This pin should not be decoupled as it
would inject current noise. The target current is

A 12V
Double bonded main power pin for the audio/FM
section of the chip. The twobond connectionsare
to the ESD and to power the circuit and on chip
regulators/references.
A GND L
This groundpin is double bonded :
1) to channelLEFT: RF section & VCO,
2) to both AGC amplifiers, channel LEFT and
RIGHT audio filter section.
A GND R
This groundpin is double bonded :
1) to the volume control, noise reduction system,
ESD + Mux + V
