Overview
The LC72706E is a data demodulation IC for receiving FM multiplex broadcasts for mobile receivers in the DARC format. In conjunction with a bandpass filter IC (either the LV3400M or the LV3403M), the LC72706E can form a compact yet high-functionality FM multiplex reception system. This IC supports all the FM multiplex frame structures (methods A, B, and C) in the ITU-R recommendations.

Functions
• MSK delay detection circuit based on a 1T delay
• Error correction function based on a 2T delay (in the MSK detector stage)
• Digital PLL based clock regeneration circuit
• Shift-register type 1T and 2T delay circuits
• Block and frame synchronization detection circuit
• Serial control data transfer based support for the A, B, and C FM multiplex frame structures
• Function for setting the number of allowable BIC errors, the number of synchronization protection.
• Error correction using (272, 190) codes
• Layer 4 CRC code checking circuit
• On-chip frame memory and memory control circuit for vertical correction
• 7.2-MHz crystal oscillator circuit

Applications
• Receivers for DARC format mobile receiver FM multiplex broadcasts
