All information about reception conditions is derived
from the fieldstrength voltage. The fieldstrength voltage
at FSIN is initially buffered so as not to impair the
characteristics of the IF IC and is available at BFSOUT.
The fieldstrength signal at buffer output BFSOUT is
averaged over time and applied to input AVFS via an RC
low-pass filter with a large time constant.

The function unit MNC can be controlled externally via
this pin. Blanking occurs when the voltage at the MUTE
pin falls below 1 V. A voltage in the range VS/2 > 1 V
defines the switching threshold as from which multipath
interference is signalled at pin INT.

The MPX signal is fed directly from the FM demodulator
to input MPXIN and is available amplified by a factor of
1.5 at MPXOUT. The MPX signal is blanked out in the
event of multipath interference or when MUTE is
activated externally in the circuit part MNC (Multipath
Noise Canceller). In all other cases, the MPX signal
passes through the IC unchanged.
The internal one-pin oscillator is connected to CRIN with
a 456 kHz ceramic resonator. The 456 kHz reference
frequency is used for calibrating the filters and generating
pulses at INT.
ANAOUT
+5V
GND2
GND2 is the reference potential for the MPX signal.
GND2 should be connected directly with the ground
terminal of the IF FM demodulator to ensure a high
signal-to-noise ratio of the MPX signal.

MUTE
Analyzer output. DC values are available at this pin that
characterize the respective reception situation. The
output voltage is limited to max. 5 V. ANAOUT is a
multiplex output, i.e. the value for the fieldstrength, level
of multipath interference or level of common channel
interference is applied to this output depending on
addressing. ANAOUT can be switched to the
high-impedance state by means of OE.

The controller element detects the absolute value of
occuring multipath interference. This information is
stored in a capacitor which must be connected externally
to MPFIL. The capacitor voltage can be interrogated by
the system controller via ANAOUT.
FIL19 / FIL26

Certain types of abruptly occuring interference with
reception require a fast reaction by the receiver. INT
signals such events to other circuit parts by means of
40-
m
s-wide pulses (low active). The output voltage is
limited to 5 V to permit direct activation of a system
controller. A monoblend function can thus be activated on
simple receivers. On antenna-diversity receivers, INT
can activate switchover between antennas.

The controller element detects the absolute value of
occuring common channel interference. This information
is stored in a capacitor which must be connected
externally to CGFIL. The capacitor voltage can be
selected by the system controller and then available via
ANAOUT.
In order to differentiate the various types of interference,
the amplitudes of a few spectral components of the
fieldstrength signal are determined and filtered in FIL19
and FIL26 for further processing.
