Overview

The LA4168M is a record/playback system IC for microcassette and compact cassette recorders. The LA4168M is an extremely high-functionality IC that includes a motor control governor circuit, a voice sensor circuit that detects sounds and turns motor on or off, a power switch control circuit that receives an electrical signal from a photosensor and turns all of the IC function blocks on or off, and a circuit that increases the speed of the motor during playback.

特性 Features

? Includes a voice switch that can turn the governor on or off.

? Includes a power switch circuit that can turn all the IC function blocks on or off from a photosensor signal. During record, the IC can automatically turn the governor on or off according to the microphone input level, and furthermore, the governor on/off level can be continuously adjusted from an external control knob. (The control used for volume adjustment during playback.)

? Continuously variable microphone monitor level.

? Includes a drive pin for an LED that lights only when the governor is on in record mode.
