摘要:
A signal processing circuit which can be used, for example, as a playback equalizer is formed in a semiconductor integrated circuit with a main path and a side path arrayed between the input terminal and the output terminal of the integrated circuit. The signals at the ends of the main and side paths are added together to obtain the output signal for the signal processor. A filter in the main path determines its frequency characteristics. On the other hand, a variable gain control means having substantially flat frequency characteristics is inserted in the side path and its gain can be changed in response to control data to control the output signal of the signal processor.

A recording/playing circuit includes a noise reduction circuit, a switching circuit and a control circuit. The noise reduction circuit includes a pre-amplifier, a combining network, an inverter circuit and a side chain. The switching circuit has first, second and third input positions and an output terminal. The first input position is coupled to the output of the pre-amplifier, the second input position is coupled to the output of the inverter circuit, and the output terminal is coupled to the side chain. The third input position is connected to a muting circuit. The control circuit controls the switching circuit so that one of the electric signals applied to the first, second and third input positions of the switching circuit may be selectively transmitted to the output terminal of the switching circuit.

An output from an OCL type power output circuit is applied to a loudspeaker load through a switching means such as a relay. A first detector circuit and a second detector circuit detect a first operating status (e.g., output d.c. level) and a second operating status (e.g., output current level of an output transistor) of the OCL type power output circuit, respectively. The detection output signals of the first detector circuit and the second detector circuit are respectively applied to a first detecting transistor and a second detecting transistor. In the normal operation status of the OCL type power output circuit, the first detecting transistor and the second detecting transistor are respectively biased into "on" states by the first detector circuit and the second detector circuit so as to permit predetermined currents to flow. When the first and second detecting transistors are in their "on" states they control a driving transistor into an "on" state. Then, the switching means, such as a relay, is controlled into a closed state. In the abnormal operation status of the OCL type power output circuit, the first detector circuit or the second detector circuit controls the first detecting transistor or the second detecting transistor into an "off" state, so that the switching means, such as a relay, is controlled into an open state.

Thus, the monostable multivibrator circuit can provide a predetermined pulse signal without any interference attributable to a trigger input circuit.

The output derived from an electric circuit such as an OCL type power amplifier circuit is delivered to a load such as a speaker, through a switching means such as a relay. When the operation of the electric circuit has come out of a predetermined range of operation, the switching means is operated to break the connection between the electric circuit and the load. A detection circuit for detecting the operation of the electric circuit includes a detecting transistor constructed in a semiconductor integrated circuit. The detecting transistor is connected at its base to the input terminal for external connection of the semiconductor integrated circuit, so as to receive a signal representative of the operation state of the electric circuit. The detecting transistor is so biased as to allow a predetermined electric current to flow therethrough, when the electric circuit is operating within the predetermined range of operation. However, in case of a breakdown of the detecting transistor, or when the operation of the electric circuit has come out of the predetermined range of operation, the current flowing through the detecting transistor is changed from the predetermined level. This change is transmitted to a driving transistor which is adapted to break the switching means such as a relay.

A differential amplification is disclosed which comprises differential paired transistors. The direct bias current flowing in the differential paired transistors is determined by a constant current flowing from a first constant current circuit connected to the emitters of the differential paired transistors. The collector current of one of the differential paired transistors is caused to flow as an input current in a high-precision current mirror circuit. The current value of the constant current flowing in the first constant current circuit is set at 2Io. Since a direct base current Ib flows in the differential paired transistors, the current value of the collector current of one of the differential paired transistors is (Io-Ib). Accordingly, the high-precision current mirror circuit generates an output current of a current value of (Io-Ib) at the output terminal thereof. The differential amplification circuit includes a second constant current circuit having a current value Io corresponding to 1/2 of the current value of the constant current flowing in the first constant current circuit. A bias transistor is connected between the high-precision current mirror circuit and the second constant current circuit, and the direct base current Ib flows in this bias transistor. Accordingly, in the equilibrium state between the differential paired transistors, the output current appearing at the output terminal of the high precision current mirror circuit becomes zero, and the offset output current can be eliminated or moderated.
