Audio Expander
Figure 9-28 Expander circuit
The audio expander uses device SA572 (7770) that is intended
for high-end applications. It is used together with a low noise
OpAmp (7780).
There is an expanding factor of 2 in dB. There is a variable gain
cell (variable resistor) in the negative input of the OpAmp 7780
(NJM4565M). There is a rectifier cell that detects the input
voltage and translates into a current send to the gain cell .The
rectifier has an attack time constant and a decay time constant,
which is optimised to give the best auditive result.
If the input (V_in) rises with e.g. 2 times then the output will rise
4 times. This is because the negative input resistor formed by
the gain cell is decreased with a factor of two.
Remember that for an OpAmp V_out = V_in*((Rf+Rin)/Rin)
where Rf is constant (Rin= internal gain cell resistance).
Microcontroller
The microcontroller is an OTP Microchip PIC12C508A type
with 512-bit EPROM and six I/O lines. The controller has to be
programmed on the production line according the required
version of 433 or 864 MHz.
The main functions of the uP is reading the setting of the (4
position) slide switch within every 250 milliseconds, reading the
tuned info continuously, and start the power save mode if
necessary.
Figure 9-29 Microcontroller circuit
Frequency setting: This is necessary when the 4-position slide
switch is changed. In an internal look-up table, the four required
frequencies for the local oscillator are stored. The output
towards the synthesiser chip in the front-end is in I2C form. The
synthesizer is the only device on the bus. During frequency
setting the "mute" is active.
Scanning of the channel switch occurs within every 250
milliseconds (in any mode).
When "tuned" is going "high" in normal mode, the channel data
should be transmitted to the synthesizer to protect the receiver
in case of hang-up situations.
Muting: The "mute" of the receiver is controlled by the IF
receiver part, but can be overridden by the microcontroller.
The "mute" action initiated by the microcontroller is necessary
during channel switching and in the standby mode. Muting has
priority on all other main tasks. The hardware mute is the result
of an "AND" function between the “Tuned” and “Stereo”
information. The "tuned" information can be read by the
microcontroller on pin 2. The same pin has to be put in output
