AN7415 FM Stereo Demodulator


AN7415 is a monolithic integrated circuit that can be used in FM stereo demodulation applications. The operating voltage range is 1.6 to 7Vdc. Two AA dry cells are enough for powering this IC and it makes the AN7415 suitable for handheld FM radio applications. AN7415 has low current consumption (2.6mA), low distortion, good channel separation and high gain. The IC is available in 16 pin DIL package.

Description.

The circuit shown below is of a PLL FM stereo demodulator designed based on the AN7415. C1 is the input coupling capacitor which blocks any DC voltage present in the multiplexed input signal. LED D1 is an indicator LED and R1 is its current limiting resistor. C4 and C5 are the DC decoupling capacitors for the left and right output channels. C2 and C3 are the noise bypass capacitors for the left and right output channels. POT R2 can be used for adjusting the channel separation. Resistor R5 and capacitors C7 and C8 forms a low-pass filter network for the internal DC amplifier circuitry (see the block diagram of AN7415). C10 is a filter capacitor for the IC’s internal Schmitt trigger amplifier circuitry. C9 is a ripple filter capacitor for the voltage stabilizer circuit inside the AN7415. Resistor R3, POT R4 and Capacitor C6 sets the time constant of the internal VCO circuit. Hence POT R4 can be used for adjusting the VCO frequency. A 19KHz frequency check signal is available at the PIN 12 of the IC. Switch S1 can be used for enabling and disabling forced mono function.

NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram

The NE566 Function Generator is a Voltage-Controlled Oscillator of exceptional linearity with buf fered square wave and triangle wave outputs. The frequency of oscillation is determined by an external resistor and capacitor and the voltage applied to the control terminal. The Oscillator CAN be programmed over a ten-to-one frequency range by proper selection of an external resistance and modulated over a ten-to-one range by the control voltage, with exceptional linearity.  FMAX = 1 MHz     WIDE 1000:1 Continuous Sweep Possible  NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram Pdf Datasheet  Sourced by : Circuitsstream

Transceiver Homebrew QRP SSB 80M Band

Radio communication transceiver is a radio transmitter at the same time the plane doubles as a radio receiver used for communication purposes. It consists of the transmitter and the receiver are assembled in an integrated way. In mulamula generation, the transmitter or receiver or transmitter and receiver sections are assembled separately and is part of a stand sendirisendiri and can work well sendirisendiri Currently employed both parts are integrated in turn. Aircraft simple transmitter consists of an oscillator generating radio vibration and this vibration after vibration boarded with our voice, in a technique called dimodulir radio, then by the antenna is converted into radio waves and transmitted. As we know that the sound waves we can not reach long distances, although its power is quite large, while the radio waves with a relatively small force can reach a distance of thousands of kilometers. In order for our voice can reach a far distance, then our voice superimposed on radio w...
