How to use the LA1265 LED Lighting Bandwidth – Resistance across pins 9 and 20
1. LED lighting, muting drive output, stop signal (SD).
• For LED lighting, muting drive output, stop signal, the output at
LED lighting bandwidth – kHz

pin 8 is used.
• The voltage on pin 8, when tuned, turns from "H" to "L".
(Active-Low)
• Signal bandwidth at pin 8.
– For AM, the bandwidth depends on the CF (BFU450CN) at
pin 11. If a capacitor is connected in place of the CF, the
bandwidth will get wider.
– For FM, the bandwidth depends on the resistance across pins
9 and 20. If the resistance is increased, the bandwidth will get
narrower. R=15kΩ makes the bandwidth approximately
Resistance across pins 9 and 20 – kΩ
120kHz.
• Sensitivity adjustment of LED, muting, stop signal.
– For FM, the semifixed variable resistor across pin 13 and GND is used.
– For AM, the semifixed variable resistor across pins 13 and 14 is used. Be sure to start adjustment for FM, and then
make adjustment for AM. For the stop signal sensitivity and FM stop signal bandwidth, the variations should be
considered and it is recommended to use the semifixed variable resistor for adjustment.
• LED lighting sensitivity setting for AM.
For the LED lighting sensitivity setting for AM, it is desirable that the IC input be 30dBµ (antenna input :
approximately 50dB/m). In this case, the value of VR1 is 30kΩ.

No.1820-3/15
 LA1265
• LED lighting sensitivity setting for FM.
Semifixed Variable Resistor for FM
– For the LED lighting sensitivity setting for FM, the IC

VR2 semifixed variable resistor value – kΩ

input may be 45dBµ to 60dBµ. With the variations in the LED lighting sensitivity setting for FM

front end considered, it is ideal that the IC input in a

standard receiving set be 51dBµ to 54dBµ. The lower
value of VR2 for the LED lighting sensitivity setting is as Ideal setting range

illustrated right. Since the variations in the front end cause

the IC input setting sensitivity to vary, it is recommended
to use a value of VR2 at an input voltage lower than a
standard setting by 6dB or greater. For example, if IC
input 53dBµ is taken as a standard, use VR2≤100kΩ at IC
input 47dBµ.
2. AM/FM changeover
• Two selections are available for changeover as shown below IC input – dBµ

: (A) pin 17-used method and (B) pin 18-used method.

• For (A), the voltage on pin 17 relative to VCC (pin 7) must be within the range of –0.8V to +0.1V. If not within this
range, distortion and selectivity will get worse.
• For (A), a resistance of 68kΩ at the IFT cold terminal, which is used to prevent the changeover circuit from
malfunctioning, must be connected.
(A) pin 17-use method for AM/FM changeover (B) Pin 18-used method for AM/FM changeover

3. Local OSC buffer output

• When local OSC buffer output wave form is saw-toothed at the SW mode, connect a resistance of 1.2kΩ or
thereabouts across pin 22 and GND.
4. AM input pin
• It is desirable that the AM input pin (pin 19) be L-coupled to pin 18.
• Inputting to pin 19 can be done by DC-cutting with a capacitor. However, an unbalance in the RF amplifier
(differential amplifier) causes gain drop and whistle worsening. V9 – Modulation Frequency
5. Capacitance across pin 9 and GND.
A large capacitance across pin 9 and GND may cause a misstop
at an adjacent channel when the channel select speed is made
faster at the automatic channel select mode. In this case, decrease
the capacitance across pin 9 and GND. However, if too
decreased, the LED will flutter at low modulation frequencies at
the time of detuning. Therefore, it is recommended to fix the
capacitance across pin 9 and GND to be 3.3µF to 10µF. The
relation between modulation frequency and demodulation output
voltage on pin 9 with the capacitance across pin 9 and GND as a
parameter is shown right.
Modulation frequency – Hz

6. If the coupling coefficient of the local OSC coil is small and an antiresonance point of approximately 100MHz is
present or the stray capacitance across pins 22 and 21 is large, a parasitic oscillation of approximately 100MHz may
occur in the buffer output (pin 22). In this case, connect a capacitance of approximately 30pF across pin 22 and GND.
7. AM OSC coil
Generally speaking, the following should be noted. Avoid winding with loose coupling between primary side and
secondary side (especially SW1, SW2). To put it concretely, the pot core type is better than the screw core type which
is loose in coupling. This prevents the local OSC frequency from turning third resonance frequency related to the
coupling coefficient.
8. Resistance across pin 8 and VDD.
If pin 8 is used for the stop signal (SD) only, without using LED, it is recommended to fix
resistance RL across pin 8 and GND to be 51kΩ to 100kΩ.
9. To prevent whistle from worsening, make the pattern of AM output pin 12 as short as
possible.
