近年、切換スイツチ回路の電子化等に対する要求
が高まり、切換接続個所の削減が望まれていた。 Conventionally, when a recording/reproducing amplifier is used as described above, a multi-circuit slide switch or the like has been used to switch the frequency equalization characteristics and disconnect the AGC circuit during reproduction. however,
In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for electronic switching circuits, and there has been a desire to reduce the number of switching connection points.
本発明は、上記のような要望のもとになされた

AGCの働きにより、音声信号の出力レベルが定
められた一定値に制御される。 Here, to explain the signal flow in the recording mode, a signal supplied to the audio signal input terminal 1 is amplified by the preamplifier 2, the AGC amplifier 3, and the output amplifier 4, and is output to the audio signal output terminal 5. At this time, a part of the output signal is rectified by the rectifier circuit 6 and then smoothed by the smoothing circuit 7 to become a DC signal according to the level of the output signal, which is applied to the AGC control terminal 11. Therefore, when recording,
AGC functions to control the output level of the audio signal to a predetermined constant value.

Output to. That is, in the configuration of the present invention, even during reproduction, a part of the output signal is rectified by the rectifier circuit 6, and the signal smoothed by the smoothing circuit 7 is applied to the AGC control terminal 11. has no effect.
ところで、AGC増幅器においては、平滑回路

信号の断続に応じて変動し非常に不自然となる。
そこで、一般的には、放電時定数が数10秒から数

アタツクタイムをそれほど遅くしないでリカバー
タイムを充分長くとることができる。 By the way, in an AGC amplifier, if the discharge time constant of the smoothing circuit is short, the output signal will fluctuate in accordance with the interruption of the audio signal, which will be very unnatural.
Therefore, the discharge time constant is generally selected to be a very large value of several tens of seconds to several minutes. An example of the smoothing circuit 7 having such a time constant uses a circuit called a double time constant, in which a series circuit of a resistor 9 and a capacitor 10 is connected in parallel with the capacitor 8, and the capacitance value of the capacitor is 8. 10 is chosen to be larger than . When this circuit is used, the charging time constant is determined approximately by the capacitance value of the capacitor 8, and the discharging time constant is determined by the series circuit formed by the capacitor 10 and the resistor 9, and the series circuit equivalently parallel to the series circuit. Since it is determined by the connected resistance, the recovery time can be made long enough without slowing down the attack time of the AGC circuit.
上記のような放電時定数の大きなAGC制御回

時間蓄積されることになる。したがつて、上記の
ような条件下でもつて、急に記録モードに切換え
が行なわれたような場合には、AGCが深くかか
りすぎ、出力信号が非常に小さくなつてしまうと
いう不都合を生ずる。 Since this is an AGC control circuit with a large discharge time constant as described above, for example, if a very high level signal comes in during playback mode, or if something like click noise occurs for some reason, Unnecessarily large level signals are stored in the smoothing circuit 7 for a long time. Therefore, even under the above conditions, if there is a sudden change to the recording mode, the AGC will be applied too deeply, resulting in the inconvenience that the output signal will become very small.
そこで本発明の実施例では、平滑回路7の一部

されるようにしたものである。 Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the above problem is solved by forming a separable discharge path 20 consisting of a resistor 17 and a diode 18 in a part of the smoothing circuit 7. That is, in the regeneration mode, the resistor 17 and diode 1 of the discharge path 20
8 is connected in parallel to the capacitor 10, and the discharge path 20 is disconnected in the recording mode.

号によつて、平滑回路7に大レベルのAGC制御
信号が長時間保持されるという不都合はなくな
る。 If configured as described above, there will be no problem since the smoothing circuit 7 functions as before during recording. Further, during reproduction, the charges stored in the capacitor 10 are discharged through the discharge path 20, so the lower the resistance value of the discharge path 20, the faster the charges in the capacitor 20 can be discharged. Therefore, as described above, there is no longer a problem in which a high-level AGC control signal is held in the smoothing circuit 7 for a long time due to an abnormal signal during reproduction.

る。 In the embodiment of the present invention, a recording/reproduction changeover switch circuit 12 is used as a method for switching the connection of the discharge path 20 between recording and reproduction. This recording/reproduction switch circuit 12 is essentially a transistor.
This is an inverter switch, and the emitter of the transistor 14 is directly grounded, and its collector is connected to the power supply +Vcc through a resistor 15, and is also connected to the discharge path 20. Further, the base of the transistor 14 is connected to the recording/reproduction switching signal application terminal 13 through a resistor 16.

の放電路となることはない。 Here, assuming that a positive potential is supplied to the recording/reproduction switching signal application terminal 13 only during reproduction, the transistor 14 is in a conductive state during reproduction and is in a cut-off state during recording. Therefore, during reproduction, the collector of the transistor 14, that is, the cathode side of the diode 18, is equivalently grounded, so that the charge in the capacitor 10 is discharged through the resistor 17 and the diode 18. Furthermore, in the recording mode, the collector potential of the transistor 14 rises to +Vcc, so the potential between the anode and cathode of the diode 18 is reverse biased, and the potential of the diode 18 is reverse biased.
is in a cut-off state. Therefore, discharge path 2
0 has a very large resistance value, and the capacitor 10
It does not become a discharge path.

Since there is no longer a need to separate the rectifier circuit for obtaining the AGC control signal from the signal path, the number of circuits for the recording/playback switch can be reduced, and furthermore, it is possible to use an electronic switch, which facilitates miniaturization. It has excellent features.
