Overview

LA2000M is an IC for detecting interprogram spaces to pick out the starting point of a program immediately preceding or following a musical program recorded on tape, and to detect end of tape.

Features

• Has transistors capable of driving plungers with maximum 50 mA, and a protective diode to prevent induced reverse voltages.

• Can provide designated time delays by externally connected capacitors and resistors.

• Has a comparator with stable hysteresis to handle variations in power supply voltage.

• Detects unrecorded portions of tape.

Applications

• Detection of spaces between programs recorded on tape

• Detection of end of tape

• Other

Used in

• Radio-cassette recorders

• Cassette decks

• Car stereos
