Stereo Multiplex Decoder
Description:
The NTE789, a monolithic silicon integrated circuit, is a stereo multiplex decoder intended for FM multiplex
systems.
This stereo multiplex decoder requires only one lowâinductance tuning coil (requires only one adjustment for
complete alignment), provides automatic stereo switching, energizes a stereo indicator lamp, and operates
from a wide range of voltage supplies.
Figure 1 shows the block diagram for the NTE789. The input signal form the detector is amplified by a lowâdis-
tortion preamplifier and simultaneously applied to both signal, generated by a local voltageâcontrolled oscilla-
tor (VCO), is counted down by two frequency dividers to a 38kHz signal and to two 19âkHz pilotâtone supplied
by the FM detector is compared to the locally generated 19âkHz signal in a synchronous detector.
The resultant signal controls the voltage controlled oscillator (VC)) so that it produces an output signal to
phaseâlock the stereo decoder with the pilot tone. A second sychronous detector compares the locally gener-
ated 19âkHz signal with the 19âkHz pilot tone. If the pilot tone exceeds and externally adjustable threshold
voltage, a Schmitt trigger circuit is energized. The signal from the Schmitt trigger lights the stereo indicator,
enables the 38âkHz synchronous detector, and automatically switches the NTE789 form monaural to stereo
operation. The output signal from the 38âkHz detector and the composite signal from the preamplifier are ap-
plied to a matrixing circuit from which emerge the resultant left and right channel audio signals. These signals
are applied to their respective left and right post amplifiers for amplification to a level sufficient to drive most
audio amplifiers.
The NTE789 utilizes the 16âlead quadâinâline plastic package and operates over the ambient temperature
range of â40°C to +85°C.
