GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TEA0679T is a bipolar integrated circuit that provides
two channels of Dolby B noise reduction for playback
applications in car radios. It includes head and
equalization amplifiers with electronically switchable time
constants. The device also includes electronically
switchable inputs for tape drivers with reverse heads.
This device detects pauses of music in the Automatic
Music Search (AMS) scan mode (for applications with an
intelligent controlled tape driver) or AMS latch mode (for
applications with a simple controlled tape driver).
For both modes the delay time can be fixed by using an
external resistor. In the blank skip mode the IC can detect
pauses of music during playback and allows a
microcontroller to react on this situation.
The equalization amplifier gain adjustment, the output
offset adjustment and all switching functions are I2C-bus
controlled. Head switching and equalization time constant
switching can be controlled via separate pins (optional).
The device operates with power supplies from 7.6 to 12 V.
The output overload level increases with increases in
supply voltage.
Current drain varies with the following variables:
• Supply voltage
• Noise reduction on/off
• AMS on/off.
Because of this current drain variation it is advisable to use
a regulated power supply or a supply with a long time
constant.
