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.

Notes.

  • Well designed and good quality PCB improves the performance.
  • Input supply voltage range is from 1.6V to 7VDC.
  • I recommend 3VDC for powering the circuit.
  • POT R4 can be used for adjusting the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) frequency.
  • POT R2 can be used for setting the channel separation.
  • Recommended LED indicator current is 40mA.
  • Maximum power dissipation is 80mW.

TDA2030 complete tone control

At this time I present a series of amplifiers that use IC TDA2030, but this series is equipped with a tone control. Tone controls include Bass, Treebel, and Volume. Power amplifier and tone control has been put together in a single PCB. As well as its power supply circuit was also used as one with the power amp, and tone control. Making it easier in the installation and will look neat. Schematics Layout PCB PCB design This amplifier is a mono amplifier type, can be modif for guitar amplifiers. If not coupled amplifier (mic preamp) then you must deactivated potensio treble and bass, why? because if not using a mic preamp and still maintain potensio treble and bass sound input (input) from the guitar will not or the maximum discharge is not tight on the speakers. So you must deactivated a way to decide which directly connected capacitor with the tone control circuit, and capacitor were connected directly to potensio volume and input jack.

PID instruction in Allen Bradley PLC Closed Loop Control

PID instruction in Allen Bradley PLC [Proportional/Integral/Derivative] Closed Loop Control For   Processor SLC 5/02SLC 5/03SLC 5/04SLC 5/05    MicroLogix 1200 and MicroLogix 1500 (A special PID file replaces the old integer file control block.) Description of PID in PLC   This output instruction is used to control physical properties such as temperature, pressure, liquid level, or flow rate of process loops. The PID instruction normally controls a closed loop using inputs from an analog input module and providing an output to an analog output module as a response to effectively hold a process variable at a desired set point. The PID equation controls the process by sending an output signal to the actuator. The greater the error between the setpoint and the process variable input, the greater the output signal, and vice versa. An additional value (feed forward or bias) can be added to the control output as an offset. The result of the PID calculation (control vari...

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
