Dual preamplifier with ALC

BA3308 / BA3308F
The BA3308 and BA3308F are dual preamplifier ICs with built-in ALC circuits, and have been designed for use in stereo radio-cassette recorders and tape recorders. They come in compact 9-pin SIP (BA3308) and 14-pin MF (BA3308F) packages, and have two record / playback preamplifiers, and an ALC circuit. The preamplifiers have high gain and low distortion, and can be directly coupled to the tape head without coupling capacitors. This prevents tape head magnetization and pop noise generation. A built-in rectifier means that an ALC circuit with good channel balance and large dynamic range can be constructed with addition of just an external time constant circuit. The ICs also include power-on mute circuits that suppress pop noise generation.

!Applications Stereo radio cassette recorders, cassette decks and home stereo systems and music centers

Notes: (1) Switches are in the playback positions. (2) Set the values of RA and CA depending on the characteristics of the playback/recording head. (3) The capacitor CB is for head resonance treble compensation during playback, and prevention of high-frequency noise. The recommended value is about 1000pF. (4) L and CC are a bias trap.

!Circuit operation (1) Recording 1) Recording amplifier (See Fig.5) The channel 1 and 2 amplifier input stages of the BA3308 (pins 8 and 2) and be direct-coupled, and the input coupling capacitors C1 and C2 are not particularly required. The voltage gain of the recording amplifier is given by GV = R5 / R3, but as a pop noise is generated when power is applied, (see operation notes), use the time constant circuit values given for C3 and R3 (C4 and R4) in the application example circuit diagram, or values close to these, and adjust the voltage gain with R5 (R6). R5 (R6) is also the DC bias feedback resistor, and is connected between pin 3 (7), and the output capacitor C5 (C6). 2) ALC (See Fig.6) The BA3308 includes a signal rectifier block and electronic potentiometers required for the ALC. In the signal rectifier block, a comparator compares the DC output voltage component of the output stage signal (pins 3 and 7) to a voltage of 4.5VF (1VF is about 0.7V, so 4.5VF is approximately 3V), and if it is above this, the comparator switches on, and changes the smoothing capacitor C7. The operating point of the amplifiers ch1 and ch2 output stages is fixed at 3VF, so when the signal output voltage is 1.5VF (an effective value of approximately 0.75V), the comparator goes on, DC signals for electronic potentiometer control are generated, and the ALC starts operating. The electronic potentiometers are connected between the input lines (pins 2 and 8) and GND, and the input signals is attenuated by the ratio of the electronic potentiometer resistances and the external resistors R1 and R2. The range of the ALC can be varied by the values of R1 and R2, but if they are too large the S/N ratio will worsen. Sufficient ALC range should be obtained with R1 and R2 values of around several k ohms. C7 and R7 connected to pin 5 set the ALC attack and recovery times. The larger the values of these constants, the longer the recovery time, and the smaller the value of C7 the shorter the attack time.

(2) Playback (See Fig.7) During playback, the ch1 and ch2 amplifiers are used as NAB equalizer amplifiers, and time constant circuits are connected between pins 1 and 3, and 7 and 9 in the negative-feedback section to give the NAB characteristics. The voltage gain is given by: GV = | R11 + R9 / (I + jC9 R9) | / R3 In the same way as for recording, the NAB time constant circuit is adjusted to give the required gain (to prevent generation of a pop noise when power is applied). The output stage (pins 3 and 7) operating point is fixed at 3VF. Therefore, as indicated in the VMAX. VS, VCC characteristic (see Fig.19), even if the VCC voltage is made larger than 5V, the maximum output voltage will not exceed 1.2V (typ.). The ALC circuit is not required for playback, so pin 5 is grounded. The S/N ratio during playback is better if the external resistors R1 and R2 that are connected to the input pins (2 and 8) for recording are switched out.

!Operation notes The BA3308 has a built-in power-on mute circuit to prevent generation of a pop sound when the power is applied. The generation of the pop sound is prevented by the DC blocking capacitors C3 and C4 connected to pins 1 and 9, and the charge time required for the ripple filter capacitor C8 that is connected to pin 6. To ensure correct operation of this circuit, use the values given in the application example circuit for C3, C4, R3, R4, C8 and R8.
