摘要:
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.
摘要:
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.

An input signal is applied to a first limiting amplifier circuit, and an output of the first limiting amplifier circuit is applied to a second limiting amplifier circuit. An output of the second limiting amplifier circuit is applied to a third limiting amplifier circuit. The output signal of the first limiting amplifier circuit is applied to a first detector circuit, the output signal of the second limiting amplifier circuit is applied to a second detector circuit, and the output signal of the third limiting amplifier circuit is applied to a third detector circuit. Bias means for stipulating the bias states of the first, second and third detector circuits are coupled to the third detector circuit. An output signal of the third detector circuit is applied to the second detector circuit as a bias signal, and an output signal of the second detector circuit is applied to the first detector circuit as a bias signal. An output signal of the first detector circuit exhibits a level corresponding to the sum among the output signals of the first, second and third limiting amplifier circuits.

An FM detector is constructed of a phase shift network and an analog multiplier. The analog multiplier includes a differential amplifier circuit and a phase detector circuit. The differential amplifier circuit includes differential pair transistors which are driven by FM intermediate frequency signals. A base emitter junction of a diode-connected transistor is connected across a base and an emitter of one of the differential pair transistors. The base of the one transistor and a base of the diode-connected transistor are connected to an emitter of an emitter-follower transistor, and the FM intermediate frequency signal is applied to a base of the emitter-follower transistor. Noise which develops in the base of the differential pair transistor or the base of the diode-connected transistor is reduced by the low output impedance of the emitter-follower transistor, so that the signal-to-noise ratio of the FM detector is improved.

An FM detector is constructed of a phase shift network and an analog multiplier. The analog multiplier includes a differential amplifier circuit and a phase detector circuit. The differential amplifier circuit includes differential pair transistors which are driven by FM intermediate frequency signals. One of the differential pair transistors has another transistor connected thereto which is also driven by the FM intermediate frequency signal. A collector signal of either one of the differential pair transistors is applied to the phase detector circuit through the phase shift network, while a collector signal of the other transistor is directly applied to the phase detector circuit. An emitter of the one transistor and an emitter of the other transistor are connected through resistors, whereby the signal-to-noise ratio of the FM detector is improved.

A first intermediate frequency amplifier stage which executes the amplitude limiting operation of a double-converting FM tuner employing the integrated circuit technology is constructed in the form of an integrated circuit. An output signal of the first intermediate frequency amplifier stage is put into a square pulse waveform on the basis of the amplitude limiting operation, and therefore has higher harmonic components of high frequencies. When the higher harmonic components are injected into a second mixer circuit in a second frequency converter circuit, various higher harmonic components which have frequencies higher than a second intermediate frequency appear at the output of the second mixer conduit. When the higher harmonic components at the output of the second mixer circuit are injected into an FM demodulator circuit, beat trouble is induced. The second frequency converter circuit is also constructed in the form of an integrated circuit, and filter means to pass the fundamental waves of a first intermediate frequency signal and to reject the higher harmonic frequency components thereof is connected between the output of the first intermediate frequency amlifier stage executing the amplitude limiting operation and the input of the second mixer circuit, whereby the beat trouble can be prevented.
摘要:
In a multiplex decoder circuit comprising two pairs of transistor differential circuits driven by switching signals of a 38 kHz subcarrier signal, for separating a stereo composite signal into left and right channel signals, a differential amplifier formed of a pair of transistors connected to the respective differential circuits for amplifying and injecting the composite signal, and a constant current source, at least one of the pair of differential transistor amplifiers being supplied with the composite signal is formed of a negative feedback amplifier to suppress the output distortion of the transistor amplifier due to variations in the emitter resistance of the transistor amplifier with respect to the variations of the input stereo composite signal. As a result, the waveform distortion of the separated left and right channel signals is reduced.
