Monolithic Linear IC

LA1833N, 1833NM
System-on-Chip Tuner IC for Home Stereo Systems

Overview
The LA1833N/NM is an AM/FM IF and MPX system-onchip IC that supports electronic tuning for home stereo
systems. It is optimal for use in auto-seek systems that use
SD (station detect) and IF counting in parallel.
