CXA1578P-DIP

The Sony CXA1578P is a specialized bipolar IC developed to serve as a recording equalizer amplifier for analog cassette decks. It is engineered for stereo cassette decks, with applications including recording equalization, low-frequency boost, and built-in mute functionality, providing control over high and low-frequency gains. This IC features a compact DIP package, facilitating integration into cassette deck systems.

It includes mode switching (for Normal, Chrome, and Metal tapes) and is compatible with ALPS cassette decks. With DC control over recording level calibration and fade-in/out options, this IC offers extensive recording control suitable for high-quality audio applications.

Key Features :

• High-Frequency Equalization Control: DC controllable high-frequency gain calibration offers approximately 6dB variability, allowing fine-tuning for optimal audio quality.
• Built-In Recording Mute Function: Provides a convenient muting mechanism for smooth operation during recording sessions, controlled by external input.
• Multi-Mode Switching Capability: Supports NORM, CrO₂, and METAL tape modes with DC control for seamless switching and flexibility.
• Low-Frequency Boost Support: Enables a low-frequency boost via an external capacitor, optimizing sound clarity and depth.
• Compact DIP Package: 16-pin DIP design for easy integration into cassette decks, conserving space while delivering robust functionality.
• Dual Power Supply Compatibility: Operates with both single and dual power supply configurations, with a wide voltage range for enhanced versatility.
