µ
PC1686G/GV
GENERAL PURPOSE 5 V FREQUENCY DOWN-CONVERTER IC
DESCRIPTION
The
µ
PC1686 is Silicon monolithic IC designed for VHF band receiver applications. This IC consists of double
balanced mixer, local oscillator, IF amplifier, and voltage regulator.
The package is 8-pin SOP or SSOP suitable for high-density surface mount.
FEATURES
• VHF/CATV band operation
• Single-end push-pull IF amplifier suppresses fluctuation in output impedance.
• Good capability of VHF-varactor diode due to balanced amplifier oscillator
• Supply voltage: 5 V
• Packaged in 8-pin SOP or SSOP suitable for high-density mounting
APPLICATIONS
• Tuners for TV and VCR
• Receivers for VHF band

Function and Explanation
Internal oscillator consists in balance amplifier.
2 pin and 3 pin should be externally equiped
with tank resonater circuit in order to oscillate
with feedback loop.
1 pin should be grounded through approximate
10 pF coupling capacitor.
3 pin is defined as open collector. This pin
should be coupled through resistor or
chock coil in order to adjust Q and be
supplied voltage. In case of abnormal
oscillation, adjust its Q lower to stabilize
the operation.
Supply voltage pin for the IC.
IF output pin. IF amplifier is designed as single-
end push-pull amplifier.
This pin is assigned for the emitter follower
output with 50
Ω
constant resistive impedance
in wide band.
