How to use the LA1805 Unit (resistance : Ω, capacitance : F)

1. Forced monaural mode.
Figures 1 and 2 show how to cause the forced monaural mode to be entered.
(1) Connect pin 14 to VCC through a resistor of 100kΩ. (Turn ON the SW1 in Figure 1.)
(2) Connect pin 15 to GND through a resistor of 47kΩ. (Turn ON the SW2 in Figure 2.)

Figure 1 Forced Monaural Mode Setting Method Figure 2 Forced Monaural Mode Setting Method

Forced Monaural Mode Setting Resistance Free-

Running Frequency

Either above-mentioned (1) or (2) causes the forced

monaural mode to be entered. In this case, the VCO
Free-running frequency – kHz

does not stop operating. If the resistance of R1 and

R2 are decreased, internal bias will vary when the S1
or S2 is turned ON. This data is shown in Figure 3.

2. VCO Stop
The VCO is so designed as to stop automatically at the
AM mode.
(when pin 11 and pin 21 are at the same potential)
There is no pin available for stopping the VCO at the Make the wiring as
short as possible.
FM mode. However, the method shown right can be
used to stop the VCO at the FM mode, causing the
forced monaural mode to be entered.

3. Free-running frequency measurement and adjustment Figure 4

Either of the following two methods is used to measure the
free-running frequency.
(1) Connect pin 13 to a frequency counter through the high
input impedance amplifier.
(2) Connect the connection point of the semifixed resistor
connected to pin 13 and the fixed resistor to a frequency
counter through the resistor of 240kΩ or greater. Figure 5
Measured error, ∆f – %

How the error changes with the resistor value is

shown in Figure 7. Nonmodulation

Resistor value, RX – kΩ

• When setting the free-running frequency, the following must be noted. Figure 7
Apply a 10.7MHz 100dBµ nonmodulation carrier as IF input signal and set to 76kHz±50Hz with the tuning indicator
lighted.

4. Separation setting capacitor Cs

The separation characteristic for the LA1805 alone
Separation, Sep – dB

(IF input) differs from that for the antenna input

with a front end. This difference is caused by the
characteristics of the front end and ceramic filter.
Shown right is how the separation characteristic
changes with the separation setting capacitor value
when the LA1186N is used as front end. Referring
to this separation characteristic, choose the
optimum separation for your set model.

5. FM muting pin
The external resistor connected to pin 12 can be used to vary the muting level (Figure 9). The abnormal sound at the
time of side peak reception at the FM mode can be reduced by weak signal muting.

7. AM-FM selection
The FM mode is entered with pin 11 open as shown in
Figure 13. When pin 11 and pin 21 are made to be at
the same potential in terms of DC, the AM mode is
entered. It should be noted that the dynamic range is
narrowed whether the potential at pin 11 is lower or
higher than that at pin 21.

Figure 13

8. If a noise appears in the detection output when the tuning LED goes ON at the AM mode, connect a capacitor across
pin 8 and GND to eliminate the noise.

Differences between LA1805 and LA1806
(1) Same pin assignment
(2) The internal circuit of the MPX OUT (pin 9, pin 10) is different as shown below.
The FM S curve at pin 17 is in the opposite direction and the circuit in which AFC is provided is the same for the
US band and Japanese band.

The LA1805 contains the output load resistors For the LA1806, output load resistors RL, RR are connected-
(Output load resistance=6.8kΩ) xternally. The graph of demodulation output vs. RL (RR) is
