Proper Cares in Using the IC
External parts placement and pattern
• The AM local oscillation parts, AM local oscillation coil, and antenna circuit parts such as bar antenna must be
separated from each other as far as possible to prevent Qs from worsening.
• Pin 16 (AM oscillation injection pin) and pin 14 (RF input pin) must be separated from each other on the pattern as
shown in Figure. A below. Care should be taken not to make unwanted coupling by parallel wiring as shown in
Figure B to prevent Qs from worsening.
FM quadrature detection coil
• The values recommended for the detection coil are shown below. (See Figure 1.)
Tuning capacitance : 56pF
Damping resistance : 6.8kΩ
• Values other than recommended provide the LED drive characteristic as shown below.
Figure A Good example Figure B Bad example
Value increased Value decreased
Tuning capacitance • Lighting is delayed.
• No lighting may occur at low
temperature.
• Lighting is advanced.
• Mislighting may occur in the
absence of signal.
Damping resistance • Lighting is advanced.
• Mislighting may occur in the
absence of signal.
• Lighting is delayed.
• No lighting may occur at low
temperature.
If the product of tuning capacitance and damping resistance is equal to that of values recommended above (e. g.
tuning capacitance=82pF, damping resistance=4.7kΩ), other characteristics (demodulation output, S/N, THD, etc.)
than the LED drive characteristic remain almost unaffected.
• For applications where a double tuning coil is used, refer to "Applications where a double coil is used" on page 13.

How to apply FM AFC
The S curve at the FM output pin (pin 8) is as shown in Figure 1. Therefore, the domestic (Japan) band (lower local
oscillation) use and foreign band (upper local oscillation) use differ as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
AM local oscillation
Since the LA1260 contains an ALC circuit, the oscillation level at pin 16 can be limited to 60 to 150mV in the
following applications where a coil is used.
Stable oscillation occurs at a coil impedance of 5kΩor greater viewed from across pins 16 and 15. Turn ratio n and
Q
Omust be determined so that the oscillation level at pin 16 becomes 75mV or greater for MW use and 60mV or
greater for SW use.
If turn ratio n is increased more than needed, the oscillation level at pin 16
drops, thereby lowering the maximum sensitivity as shown in Figure 5 and 6.
Figure 7 shows the relation between turn ratio n and oscillation level at pin
16 in the MW band.

AM oscillation coil
Generally speaking, the following should be noted. Winding with loose
coupling between 1 and 2 and between 1 and 3 must be avoided. (Particularly
SW1, SW2).
To put in concretely, the pot core type is better than the screw core type which
is loose in coupling. This prevents the local oscillation frequency from turning
third resonance frequency related to the coupling coefficient.
LED unlighted time and distortion in AM (MW)
By increasing the value of the electrolytic capacitor for AGC at pin 11 (Figure 8), the distortion in the AM mode can
be improved, but the LED unlighted time is made longer. 10μF is recommended for obtaining the optimum LED
unlighted time and distortion. The LED unlighted time is 200ms at this value (Approximately 400ms at 22μF).
FM-AM selection and dc level at pin 12
(1) Pin 12-used method=recommended circuit
The FM mode is entered with pin 12 open. When pin 12 and pin 6
are at the same potential in terms of DC, the AM circuit is turned on
by the internal switch. It should be noted that the dynamic range is
narrowed whether the potential at pin 12 is lower or high than that
at pin 6.
(2) Pin 13-used method
The AM mode is entered with pin 13 open. When pin 13 is
grounded, the FM circuit is turned on and the AM circuit is turned
off by the internal switch. In this case, pin 12 and pin 6 (V
CC) are
at the same potential.
