Details
The MN3012 is a bucket-brigade device (BBD) integrated circuit primarily used in analog delay and chorus effects pedals. It was first developed by Panasonic/Matsushita in the late 1970s and became a popular choice for musicians and audio engineers due to its warm and rich sound characteristics.The MN3012 features a maximum delay time of around 600 milliseconds, making it ideal for creating lush and atmospheric delay effects. It operates on a 5V power supply and has a low noise floor, allowing for clear and pristine delay repeats. The signal-to-noise ratio of the MN3012 is rated at around 72dB, ensuring that the delayed signal won't suffer from unwanted noise or artifacts.In terms of control, the MN3012 typically includes inputs for adjusting delay time, feedback, and modulation depth. These parameters give musicians flexibility in shaping their desired delay sound, whether they are looking for subtle ambiance or trippy pitch modulation effects.

FAQs
What is MN3012?
The MN3012 is a bucket brigade device (BBD) integrated circuit used in analog delay and chorus effects circuits. It provides analog signal delay based on the BBD principle, making it popular in music equipment such as delay pedals and modulation effects.
How Does MN3012 Work?
The MN3012 works by storing analog signal charges in a series of capacitors and shifting them down the line in discrete steps. This creates a delayed signal output that can be added back to the original signal path to produce echo, delay, or chorus effects. The device requires external clock and control signals to operate and can introduce unique tonal characteristics to audio signals.
How Many Pins does MN3012 have and What are the Functions of the Pinout Configuration?
The MN3012 is typically housed in an inline package with 14 pins. The pinout configuration includes:
- VDD: Power supply pin for the device.
- VSS: Ground pin for the device.
- CLOCK IN: Input for the clock signal that controls the delay time.
- CLOCK OUT: Output for the clock signal, used for cascading multiple BBD devices.
- IN: Input for the audio signal to be delayed.
- OUT: Output for the delayed audio signal.
- CONTROL VOLTAGE (CV): Input for control voltage to modulate the delay time.
- Feedback Pins: Pins for adjusting feedback and regeneration of the delayed signal.
What are the Pros and Cons of MN3012?
Pros:
- Analog Warmth: Adds a unique analog character to audio signals, favored in music production.
- Simple Integration: Can be integrated into audio effects circuits with basic clock and control signals.
- Delay Effects: Enables the creation of various delay, echo, and chorus effects in musical equipment.
- Versatility: Offers customizable delay times and modulation options through external control voltages.
Cons:
- Noisy Operation: BBD devices can introduce some inherent noise and distortion to the delayed signal.
- Limited Delay Time: The maximum delay time of BBD devices like the MN3012 is constrained by the size of the capacitors used.
- Power Consumption: Analog delay circuits may consume more power compared to digital alternatives.
Are There Any Equivalents/Alternatives to MN3012 for Recommendation?
- The MN3005 and MN3207 are popular BBD alternatives that offer similar delay effects.
- Alternatives to the MN3012 include the CoolAudio V3205 and Reticon SAD1024 BBD devices.
