TDA1602A Application Circuit

The A1602A is a 40-pin dual in-line package that functions as a playback preamplifier. It utilizes linear low-noise amplifiers with a voltage gain of 26.4 dB. Each channel has a separate discharge sound preamplifier, selected by an electronic switch that manages the sound balance network. The low corner frequency is determined by peripheral capacitance, particularly for Fe and Cr02, with a time constant of 120 µs controlled by a logic circuit. The circuit includes a high-speed recording head switch for rapid recording and a compensating capacitor connected to the input preamplifier. The head switch for the B-card recording head has two states: recording and playback. In recording mode, the preamplifier input terminal is grounded, and recording bias and signals are captured by the magnetic head. In playback mode, the recording bias current terminal is grounded. The left and right channel equalization network for audio conversion is determined by peripheral capacitors. These capacitors are omitted to ensure that the recorded sound balance network exhibits a flat response, meeting Dolby audio requirements. A biasing magnetic oscillator provides bias current for erasing tape recordings, with sinusoidal voltage amplitude controlled by the first 15 feet level. The biasing magnetic oscillator operates only in recording mode and automatically turns off otherwise. Automatic level control has a range of 20 dB, with output voltage variation of less than 2 dB. The ALC recovery time and rise time can be adjusted with external components. When using a single power supply, the reference voltage is set to 1/2 Vp as the signal ground. In dual power supply configurations, the reference voltage is at zero potential. The DC level of the internal logic circuit is controlled by an externally applied signal, with control signals on pins 0, 8, and 10 relevant for control levels. Control signals on pins 7 and 9 affect level transitions, allowing for smooth electronic switch operation.

The A1602A playback preamplifier circuit is designed with a focus on achieving high fidelity audio reproduction while maintaining low noise levels. The dual in-line package (DIP) configuration allows for easy integration into various electronic systems. The gain of 26.4 dB is optimized for typical audio applications, ensuring that the signal is amplified sufficiently for subsequent processing stages without introducing significant distortion.

The electronic switch that selects between the discharge sound preamplifiers plays a crucial role in maintaining sound balance across the left and right channels. This switch is controlled by a logic circuit that responds to user inputs or automatic adjustments, allowing for seamless transitions between playback and recording modes. The careful design of the audio equalization network ensures that both channels maintain a consistent frequency response, which is essential for high-quality audio playback, especially in applications adhering to Dolby standards.

The biasing magnetic oscillator is a vital component for recording operations, providing the necessary bias current for magnetic tape recording while also facilitating the erasure of previously recorded material. The oscillator's sinusoidal voltage control is particularly significant, as it allows for precise modulation of the recording signal, thus enhancing the overall recording quality.

Furthermore, the automatic level control (ALC) feature is designed to maintain consistent output levels regardless of input signal variations. This is particularly useful in dynamic audio environments where signal levels may fluctuate significantly. The ability to adjust recovery and rise times with external components adds flexibility to the design, allowing engineers to tailor the circuit's performance to specific applications or user preferences.

In terms of power supply configurations, the A1602A can operate effectively with either a single or dual power supply, providing versatility in system design. The reference voltage settings ensure that the circuit maintains proper signal grounding, which is critical for minimizing noise and ensuring stable operation.
