BBS (bass boost system) for radio cassette players
BA3870
The BA3870 is a bass boost audio IC for radio cassette players. BBS adjusts the base boost to a level appropriate for the volume, achieving a rich sound without distortion. Frequency characteristics can be set externally, enabling system design to meet the needs of the application. FApplications Radio cassette players FFeatures 1) Adjustment of the base boost to a level appropriate for the volume through BBS. 2) Maximum bass boost level can be set externally. (20dB recommended)
3) Treble boost circuit (constant at 4dB) included onchip to preserve overall balance. 4) BBS on / off "pop" sound almost nonexistent.

FCircuit Operation (1) Overview of BBS BBS is a system which boosts the low end of the audible frequency range and at the same time linearly controls the amount of boost according to the volume to produce a rich sound without distortion through small diameter speakers. It also adjusts the gain of the high-frequency range to attain a balanced sound with natural volume. (2) Operation of BBS (1) BBS on The signal system when BBS is on is shown in Fig. 2.

The frequency characteristics of each block are as shown in Fig. 3, and the gain and cutoff frequency of each are given by the following equations.
Cutoff frequency of LPF1 : fCL1 =
Here, R4 = R5 = 2R9 and C2 = C4, thus fCL1 = fCL2 and the total frequency shows a *12dB / OCT bass boost as indicated in Fig. 4. Also, as R11 = 2R10, GLP1 + GDL = *6 + 6 GLP1 + GDL = 0 (dB) and thus the total gain during EVR Max. is GL Max. = GLP1 + GA + GB + GC + GDL GL Max. = GB (dB)

Also, R11 = 2R10, thus GDH = +9.5 (dB) and the total gain GH1 in the f t fCH1 frequency range is GH1 = GHP1 + GDH GH1 = GHP1 + 9.5 (dB) The total gain GH2 in the fCH2 t f frequency range is GH2 = GHP2 + GDH GH2 = GHP2 + 9.5 (dB)

4. Bass boost control system Bass boost control is as follows in Fig. 8.
BA3870
The comparator level and gain of each block are given by the following equations. Attenuation of ATT2: R13//R14 (dB) : GATT2 = 20log R12)R13//R14 Gain of Amp E: R15)R16 (dB) : GE = 20log R16 Comparator level of COMP: VB R17 S ) (dBV) : VCOM = 20log ( 2 R17)R18 VB: DC voltage at BIAS OUT pin
If the volume output level at the beginning of control of the low range signal system ATT1 is VBBS (dBV), VBBS + GATT2 + GE = VCOM In this way, bass boost control is carried out based on the volume as shown in Fig. 9.

2) BBS off When BBS is off, the signal system is as shown in Fig. 10 due to the switches in the IC, and signal flow is as follows.

FOperation notes (1) External value at CONT pin The BBS on / off "pop" sound can be reduced by increasing the value of the capacitor connected to the CONT pin, however, on / off switching time will increase. Select a value appropriate for the application. (2) External value at DET NF pin The gain GE can be decreased by connecting a series RC circuit to the DET NF pin, however, feedback will increase causing greater susceptibility to oscillation. We recommend a gain GE of 10dB or more. (3) External value at BBS LEVEL pin The comparator level can be increased by reducing the ratio of the resistors connected to the BBS LEVEL pin, however, taking into consideration the power supply voltage characteristics and transient characteristics, we recommend the following: VBuVBBS LEVELyVB*500mV : DC voltage at BIAS OUT pin VB ( = 1 / 2 VCC) VBBS LEVEL : DC voltage at BBS LEVEL pin
(4) External value at LP NF pin The low frequency gain GB can be decreased by increasing the value of the resistor in the series RC circuit connected to the LP NF pin, however, feedback will increase causing greater susceptibility to oscillation. We recommend a gain GB of 12dB or more. (5) Coupling capacitors Decide the polarity of the input and output coupling capacitors based on the electrical potentials of the devices to which they are being connected.
