AUDIO MUSIC SENSOR (See Figure2)
Aim of this section is to detect interprogram
spaces present on a recordedtape.
Both the blanks (interprogram spaces) and the
programs minimum detectable durations can be
easily set by means of 2 external and inde-
pendent time constants.
Also the minimum detectable input signal level
can be externally adjusted, by a dedicated gain
network.

Operations Description (refer to the simplified
schematic of Figure 2).
a)The two channels left and right mean signal
coming from the preamp chain (AC coupled)
are added (current)at the AMSinput and pre-
sented to the limiter amplifier. The limiter am-
plifier gain is internally fixed to 40dB, and it
could be reduced by the R8 external resistor.
The AMSVth threshold is fixed at 1V. The fol-
lowing signal detector comparator informs of
the presence of music signal (High level out)
and avoids the erroneous detection of very
low signal (like noise) as real program.
b)The system moves in blank detection mode
everytime the supply is turned on or, with
power supplied, the AMS On/Off pin (to be
driven by an open collector output) is turned
off (T
1
open). Once this condition has hap-
pened, the capacitor C
15
charges, defining a
minimum reset time, long enough to reset the
Flip-Flops FF
1
and FF
2
and to descharge the
program detector external C
7
capacitor. The
charging current at the AMS SW pin is about
10
μ
A. It follows that the reset time (C
