NE567 Datasheet Tone decoder/phase-locked loop and example circuits

Imagine we want to detect the frequency. But we will use what methods or equipment is appropriate. Choose NE567 is Better. Why?

The NE/SE567 tone and frequency decoder is a highly stable
phase-locked loop with synchronous AM lock detection and power
output circuit.

NE567 is good at driving a load whenever the input frequency within its detection band.

We can set the bandwidth center frequency and output delay freely by helping from four external components.

If you still not get ideas. Please keep reading and see example circuits. You may make you a little smile.

The NE567 has typical looks like NE555 with the 8-DIP pattern. Look at illustration is Pin connections.

Block Diagram

Of course, The NE567 reduced the number of electronic devices, reduced a lot. It makes us work easier, more automatic up. But understanding it Inevitably becomes more difficult as well. The block diagram may be a part to help us understand how it works. See below.

We will see the main internal structure. And basic external devices

Description

In short, the NE567 tone decoder is วงจร phase-locked loop. We can set it easily as follow.

• Pin 8 will be “low” when the input frequency matches the frequency within the IC (fo).
• This frequency-fo is from R and C (calculated from 1.1 / RC). The value of R is between 2K to 20K.
• We may use NE567 to detect low frequencies of 0.01Hz and up to 500KHz. (Use with low frequencies Should allow time to lock together for 1 second or more.)
• The value of the C-low pass filter should use n / fo. We might define n from 1300 to 62000. The output capacitor used is 2 times.

Example NE567 Circuits

It’s my fault. If you do not understand the operation of it My English. Like a child learning to walk. But some said that Explanation is not important. If I propose a circuit that is good enough. They understood it.ฺ

Basic tone detector circuit

This circuit is small for learning the tone detector works. We set the frequency-fo is 1.1kHz approximately.

IC2 is CD4049—the Hex inverting buffer/converter or not gate. Adjust VR1 to control the frequency at 1.1kHZ tone.

Oscillator generator twin frequencies circuit

Usually, we used the IC – NE567 is only a tone decoder circuit. But friends believe or not.

We bring it to a frequency generator circuits as well. The output has twin frequencies, 1.555kHz and 3.981kHz.

• Both on the square waveform signal
• It has a level amplitude in voltage output maximum as same as the power supply.

How to change frequency

This defines the frequency of the Resistors and the Capacitors. We calculated from 1.1 / RC. The R is normally set of 2K – 20K.

You may test it on the breadboard before. I hope you have fun with this circuit.

2-Phase Oscillator using NE567

Infrared Remote Control System

Look at the circuit below. This is a simple infrared control circuit. But it works quite well. Adjust VR1 until LED1 in the receiver circuit lights up.

It’s easy, but how do we understand how it works?

I want to explain it to you more understand easily.

Transmitter
The transmitter uses 555 timers as the main parts. It can produce a square waveform frequency to drive the LED infrared.

The Receiver
There are the 3 main parts inside. The phototransistor gets infrared light for the transmitter. It will transform the light to the AC signal.

Then, the 741 op-amps as the preamplifier to increase to the higher signal. Next, The NE567 detects the frequency of that setting, approximately 1.1kHz.
