1. Description
The U2860B-M is a dual-channel FM sound demodulator realized with Atmel’s
advanced bipolar process. All TV FM standards, from 4.5 MHz up to 6.5 MHz
(standard M, B/G, I, D/K) can be processed with high performance. The circuit is
alignment-free and has a minimum number of external components. With 5V supply
voltage, the U2860B-M is suitable for TV, VCR and multimedia applications.

3. Circuit Description
The U2860B-M includes two identical sound IF channels. Each consists of a limiter amplifier,
PLL FM demodulator and AF amplifier. Additionally, this circuit contains a squelch function, mute
switch and internal voltage regulation.
4. Limiter Amplifiers
The intercarrier signals are fed through external ceramic bandpass filters to a 7-stage limiter
amplifier. This guarantees high input sensitivity and excellent AM suppression.
5. PLL FM Demodulators
The alignment-free Phase Locked Loop (PLL) demodulator covers a wide frequency range of
4.5 MHz up to 6.5 MHz with low-noise performance. The linear voltage to frequency characteris-
tic results in low harmonic distortion. The free-running frequency of the internal VCO circuit is
about 5.5 MHz. For this frequency, the input sensitivity and VCO locking is optimal. An additional
external resistor at pin 10 allows a frequency shift of ±1 MHz via an internal offset current. With
this option, it is possible to shift the optimum conditions to the upper frequency (6.5 MHz) or to
the lower frequency (4.5 MHz). The offset current acts simultaneously on both VCO circuits. If
no resistor is connected, the offset current is disabled.
6. Audio Amplifiers
The demodulated signals are amplified to 500 mVrms with low output impedance at the audio
outputs (pin 6 and pin 7). AC decoupling at pin 8 and pin 9 of the audio amplifiers leads to high
common mode rejection.
7. Squelch Function
For channel 2 the audio output amplifier and VCO2 is muted automatically (squelch) when the
second sound carrier is not present. This avoids a wrong identification for stereo and dual sound
in the stereo decoder. Therefore, with mono sound, there is no output signal at pin 6. The auto-
matic squelch function can be disabled by switching pin 4 to ground.
8. Mute Switch
Simultaneous muting of both circuits is possible by switching pin 3 to ground.
9. Internal Voltage Stabilizer
The internal bandgap reference ensures constant performance independent of supply voltage
and temperature.
