FOperation notes

(1)

The input decision level of the BA336 / BA338 /

BA338L is a highly sensitive -52dBm. This can cause the

output current to return to the input through the common

impedance of the ground line. Be sure to decouple the

power supply line and prevent common impedance with

the ground line. Adding a 0.1

µF capacitor between Pin 8

and GND is effective, and we strongly recommend doing

so when high current is used.

(2)

The maximum output current of the BA336 /

BA338 / BA338L can be up to 150mA (typical). However,

if left in the current limited state for a long time when using

a high voltage power supply, damage to the IC can result.

Be sure not to exceed the rated power dissipation and the

over-current protection time.

When the BA336 / BA338 / BA338L is input into a

old (approximately 1.3V). Otherwise, there is a possibility

that a miscount will occur due to the output pulse gener-

ated (approximately 0.5V, see Fig. 4) when the power is

turned on or off.

FDifferences between the noise filters of the BA336

and BA338 / BA338L

The basic configurations of the BA336 and BA338 /

BA338L are the same, however, the noise filters are dif-

ferent.

BA336

The noise filter only operates from the time the

power is turned on or muting is turned off to the

arrival of the input signal. The power must be

turned off or muting turned on each time an out-

put signal is generated.

BA338 / BA338L The noise filter operates continuously

while the power is on. However, as

noted previously the song gap detec-

tion time can change slightly due to

noise filter pin.
