Stereo-tone/volume control circuit
TDA1524A
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The device is designed as an active stereo-tone/volume control for car radios, TV receivers and mains-fed equipment.
It includes functions for bass and treble control, volume control with built-in contour (can be switched off) and balance.
All these functions can be controlled by d.c. voltages or by single linear potentiometers.
Features
Few external components necessary
Low noise due to internal gain
Bass emphasis can be increased by a double-pole low-pass filter
Wide power supply voltage range.

Notes to characteristics
1. Equation for input resistance (see also Fig.4)
2. Frequencies below 200 Hz and above 5 kHz have reduced voltage swing, the reduction at 40 Hz and at 16 kHz is
30%.
3. In the event of bass boosting the output signal handling is reduced. The reduction is 1 dB for maximum bass boost.
4. Linear frequency response.
5. For peak values add 4,5 dB to r.m.s. values.

SOLDERING
Introduction
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all IC
packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when
through-hole and surface mounted components are mixed
on one printed-circuit board. However, wave soldering is
not always suitable for surface mounted ICs, or for
printed-circuits with high population densities. In these
situations reflow soldering is often used.
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology.
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in
our
"IC Package Databook" (order code 9398 652 90011).
Soldering by dipping or by wave
The maximum permissible temperature of the solder is
260
C; solder at this temperature must not be in contact
with the joint for more than 5 seconds. The total contact
time of successive solder waves must not exceed
5 seconds.
The device may be mounted up to the seating plane, but
the temperature of the plastic body must not exceed the
specified maximum storage temperature (T
stg max
). If the
printed-circuit board has been pre-heated, forced cooling
may be necessary immediately after soldering to keep the
temperature within the permissible limit.
Repairing soldered joints
Apply a low voltage soldering iron (less than 24 V) to the
lead(s) of the package, below the seating plane or not
more than 2 mm above it. If the temperature of the
soldering iron bit is less than 300
C it may remain in
contact for up to 10 seconds. If the bit temperature is
between 300 and 400
C, contact may be up to 5 seconds.
