Monolithic Filter and its Application to TV MPX Sound Decoder IC

In addition to giving the best possible picture and sound quality, today´s color TV set is also required to absorb all of the reception expansions, such as sound multiplex, teletext, be able to be interfaced with video recorders and videotex, etc. The color TV is expected to do all this without a great increase in cost, and, of course, at a low failure level. The fundamental parts of the color TV system need to be standardized. If the signal processing parts were standardized, dimensions and power consumption decreased, these parts could be used in all sets, even pocket-sized televisions, and the number of engineers working on these fundamental systems could be reduced.
