1. Description of external parts
C1
Input coupling capacitor : 0.47 to 2.2μF recommended.
C2
NF capacitor : Capacitance is reduced, so the off level in input equivalent becomes lower in the bass
frequency range. We recommend 1 to 10
μF.
C3, R1
For designation of time delays : Any time delay can be obtained by adequate choice of C3 and R1. We
recommend 150k to 500k
Ω for R1.
C4, R3
Power supply ripple filter
R2
Bias resistor : For diode when pin 8 is used to drive external transistors. A 1kΩ resistor is recommen.
2. Individual pins and their operations
As shown above, when input level is raised and the pin 2 voltage reaches the VTH-H level of the comparator, pins 6 and
8 turn over. (VIN = -45dBm).
Pin 6 is for driving plungers, When it is on the “L” side, pin 6 turns on and can draw current up to 600mA maximum
(restricted by duty-cycle chart). It is not to be on continuously for more than 3 seconds.
Pin 7 is a diode that prevents reverse voltages induced when the plunger is turned off from on.
Pin 8 functions in phase with pin 6 and can drive external transistors (such as for MUTE ).
3. Time delays and obtaining CRs
When input signals that have been applied at a level not less than -45dBm are removed, discharging occurs through the
CR connected at pin 2, lowering pin 2 potential. A time delay is provided before the hysteresis comparator turns over.

E1/E0, within the IC, is 0.26. A desired time is obtained by an appropriate choice of
τ (τ = C3R1). Therefore, the time
delay is obtained by the following formula :
t = 1.34
× C3R1 (sec)
We recommend 150k to 500k
Ω for R when determining CR.
