Audio ICs

FCircuit operation

(1) Input block

The AC input pins are pins 1 and 3, and the DC input pins

are pins 6 and 7. Pin 8 is used to switch between the AC

and DC inputs. When the input to pin 8 is “H”, AC input

is selected (pins 1 and 3).

Therefore, by using pin 8 to switch between the AC and

DC modes, the IC can do two jobs, using one fluorescent

tube. For example, pins 1 and 3 can be used for audio sig-

nal input, and pins 6 and 7 can be used as the input for

the signal meter output from a tuner (DC). The AC input

impedance of pins 1 and 3 is a low 250Ω (typ.), so con-

nect potentiometers (VR1 and VR2) in series with the in-

puts to adjust the sensitivity and ch1 and ch2 balance.

(2) Peak hold circuit

The BA6803S features a peak hold circuit that temporari-

ly holds peak signal levels in AC input mode.

The peak hold function can be used with the upper 12

points (5 to 16). The peak hold time depends on the oscil-

lator frequency. It is 2 sec. (typ.) for an oscillator frequen-

cy of 2kHz.

DC mode does not have a peak hold function.

(3) Grid output

The pin 10 and 11 grid outputs are open-collector NPN

transistors. The logic is active low (the fluorescent tube

lights when the output is “L”), so connect two PNP tran-

sistors Q1 and Q2 as shown in the application example

circuit to drive the fluorescent tubes (see Fig. 3).

(4) Segment output block

Pins 12 to 28 are the segment outputs. The output cir-

cuits are open-collector PNP transistors. When grid 1 is

“L”, the ch1 level is output (pin 1 or 6 input level), and

when grid 2 is “L”, the ch2 level is output (pin 3 or 7 input

level). Refer to Fig. 4.

(5) Grid and segment output timing chart. The grid and

segment output timing is shown in Fig. 5.

(6) Attack and release times

The response characteristic for AC input signals is set by

resistor R1 and capacitor C3 for ch1 and resistor R2 and

capacitor C4 for ch2 (pins 2 and 4). When R1 = 47kΩ and

C3 = 22µF, the attack time is about 4ms, and the release

time is about 1sec. (same for ch2).

Attack time : Time for the voltage on pins 2 and 4

to rise from 1V to 2.5V when the in-

put goes from no input to 2.6Vrms,

then back to no input.

Release time : Time for the voltage on pins 2 and 4

to fall from 2.5V to 1V when the input

goes from 2.6Vrms to no input.

(7) Oscillator frequency

The resistor R26 and capacitor C5 connected to pin 30 de-

termine the oscillator frequency. The oscillator frequency

(fosc) and grid output period (T) are related as follows:

T (ms) = 16 / fosc (kHz)
