TK15220
APPLICATION INFORMATION
KEY INPUT CIRCUIT
Figure 10 illustates the KEY input equivalent circuit. When
the control pin is open, the input is pulled down to a low
level. This applies the channel A input signal to the output.
A high level changes the output to the channel B input
signal. The input impedance is approximately 40 k
. If it
is desired to raise the key threshold level, an external series
resistor can be connected. This resistance will elevate the
threshold level.
SWITCHING TIME
This time is the signal change response time compared to
the control key input signal. Figure 11 illustrates the timimg
chart. T = 2
μ
s typically.
APPLICATION
Figure 12 illustrates an example of a typical application.
The standard application is to use capacitor coupling at the
inputs and output of the TK15220M. For characteristics of
distortion and dynamic range versus R
, refer to the graphs
in the Typical Performance Characteristics. The TK15220M
can also be used with direct coupling, but the characteris-
tics will get worse (distortion, etc.). If direct coupling is
desired, then it is recommended to use external circuitry
that is biased compatible with the TK15220M. Use caution
that the external channel is of the low level type.
CROSS TALK
Figure 13 is an example of a layout pattern. In the
application of the TK15220, the following must be consid-
ered. Because of the high impedance at the inputs, the
capacitors can act as antennas to each other. If the parts
are bigger, and the space between the capacitors is too
narrow, then cross talk will increase. Therefore, when
designing the printed circuit pattern, separate the input
capacitors as far as possible and use as small a part as
possible (e.g., surface mount types, etc.).
