Overview
LA2000M is an IC for detecting interprogram spaces to pick out the starting point of a program immediately preceding or following a musical program recorded on tape, and to detect end of tape.

FEATUREs
• Has transistors capable of driving plungers with maximum 50 mA, and a protective diode to prevent induced reverse voltages.
• Can provide designated time delays by externally connected capacitors and resistors.
• Has a comparator with stable hysteresis to handle variations in power supply voltage.
• Detects unrecorded portions of tape.

APPLICATIONs
• Detection of spaces between programs recorded on tape
• Detection of end of tape
• Other

Used in
• Radio-cassette recorders
• Cassette decks
• Car stereos
