This circuit consists of a 2 modulus prescaler, a 4 bit swallow counter and a 12bit programmable counter.
During FMIN(FMIN mode),a 1/2 prescaler is added to the preceding step.

With the direct dividing mode, the prescaler section is bypassed and the 12bit programmable counter is used.
(3) Both FMIN and AMIN have built-in amps. Data are input by capacitor coupling. FMIN and AMIN operate at
low amplitude.
General-purpose counter
The general-purpose counter is a 20bit counter. It has such uses as counting AM/FM band intermediate
frequencies (IF) and detecting auto-stop signals during auto-search tuning. It also features a cycle measurement
function for such uses as measuring low-frequency pilot signal cycles.
