Electronic Design: Stereo Channel Selector Circuit using KA2281 IC

Audio Circuit. - There are many audio circuit design to get best result in audio system this time. One design is how to select the output stereo from many input audio source. This is named with stereo channel selector that can select the many input selector to output stereo.

In here we will show you one of the stereo channel selector circuit with four channel that selected one in output stereo. So, the electronic design circuit of stereo channel selector circuit look like shown in Figure 1 below. From the circuit shown, that there many integrated circuit (IC) used look like KA2281, NE555, CD4017, and CD4066.

Beside we will show you electronic design circuit and component parts need, we also will give you global description about this circuit. So, please enjoy to continue reading this article until finish and get more useful.

Description

The electronic circuit design like in Figure 1 above show you stereo channel selector circuit using KA2281 IC. Other component need also that can supply with low voltage DC 12V source to charge this IC and all system. With this electronic design circuit you can produce stereo channel selector for your audio system that useful now.

According ElectronicsZone blog mentioned that when power supply is turned ‘on’, channel A (AR and AL) is selected. If no audio is present in channel A, the circuit waits for some time and then selects the next channel (channel B). This search operation continues until it detects audio signal in one of the channels. The inter-channel wait or delay time can be adjusted with the help of preset VR1. If still longer time is needed, one may replace capacitor C1 with a capacitor of higher value.

Suppose channel A is connected to a tape recorder and channel B is connected to a radio receiver. If initially channel A is selected, the audio from the tape recorder will be present at the output. After the tape is played completely, or if there is sufficient pause between consecutive recordings, the circuit automatically switches over to the output from the radio receiver. To manually skip over from one (selected) active channel to another (non-selected) active channel, simply push the skip switch (S1) momentarily once or more, until the desired channel input gets selected. The selected channel (A, B, C, or D) is indicated by the glowing of corresponding LED (LED11, LED12, LED13, or LED14 respectively).

IC CD4066 contains four analogue switches. These switches are connected to four separate channels. For stereo operation, two similar CD4066 ICs are used as shown in the circuit. These analogue switches are controlled by IC CD4017 outputs. CD4017 is a 10-bit ring counter IC. Since only one of its outputs is high at any instant, only one switch will be closed at a time. IC CD4017 is configured as a 4-bit ring counter by connecting the fifth output Q4 (pin 10) to the reset pin. Capacitor C5 in conjunction with resistor R6 forms a power-on-reset circuit for IC2, so that on initial switching ‘on’ of the power supply, output Q0 (pin 3) is always ‘high’. The clock signal to CD4017 is provided by IC1 (NE555) which acts as an astable multivibrator when transistor T1 is in cut- off state.
