PT 2380
Description
PT 2380 is a pre-set equalizer IC utilizing CMOS Technology specially designed for
audio equipment. It features four sound selections, namely: Classical, Pops, Rock
and Normal/Flat which may be selected by the 2 control pins (SW1 and SW2).
PT 2380 has 2 built-in channels - each containing an internal operation amplifier and
selectable resistors. Thus, least external components are used. By connecting only 3
capacitors to each channel, the high performance pre-set equalizing function of this
IC is achieved. Pin assignments and application circuit are optimized for easy PCB
layout and cost saving for audio applications. PT 2380 is housed in a 16-Pin DIP or
SO Package and is suitable for stereo sound applications.

Functional Description
PT2380 is pre-set to 4 modes: Normal/Flat, Rock, Classical and Pops. These 4
modes may be selected using two switches, namely: SW1 (Pin. No.9) and SW2 (Pin
No.10). Please refer to the table below.
