DE-EMPHASIS
CIRCUIT (Figs. 6-12 and 6-13)
In contrast to the pre-emphasis circuit which pre-
emphasizes the high frequency band during recording,
this circuit de-emphasizes the high frequency band
during playback to restore the signal to its original
4-14 VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier (or At-
tenuator)) CIRCUIT (Refer to Figs. 6-14,6-15,6-16)

Fig. 6-1 S Decoder
Pin ~
is connected to negative power supply through
the current setting internal bias circuit. The set
current is nominally 2 mA. The range is co:rnpressed
in the encode mode when the RMS sens~r cutput is
positive. In the decode mode, since the
RN.IS
sensor
output is fed to Pin
a)
with Pin
@
beini GND, the
range is expanded when the RMS sensor output is
positive, and it is compressed when the
MS
sensor
output is negative, which is just the opposi 1e action
to the encode mode.
The circuit consisting of R9(R37), Rl0[R.38), and
VRl (VR3) can make symmetrical adjusiroent pos-
sible and minimize DC offset voltage -..Nhich is
multiplied by the circuit gain, and controlth.e second
order harmonic distortion. When a fast gain 4;:hange is
commanded, DC offset appears at the Oiltj)Ut. R8
(R36) are provided to reduce this. In tie encoder
(Fig. 6-14), it acts as a logarithmic amplifier, while
it acts as an anti-logarithmic amplifier in ie decoder
(Fig. 6-15). Fig. 6-16 shows IC µPC125lff2 block
diagram.
