FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Decoder
I
NPUT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
The composite input signal is fed to the input level
adjustment stage. In order to compensate tolerances of
the FM demodulator which supplied the composite input
signal, the TDA9855 provides an input level adjustment
stage. The control range is from
3.5 to +4.0 dB in steps of
0.5 dB. The subaddress control 3 of Tables 5 and 6 and
the level adjust setting of Table 22 allows an optimum
signal adjustment during the set alignment in the
production line. This value has to be stored in a
non-volatile memory. The maximum input signal voltage is
2 V (RMS).
S
TEREO DECODER
The output signal of the level adjustment stage is coupled
to a low-pass filter which suppresses the baseband noise
above 125 kHz. The composite signal is then fed into a
pilot detector/pilot cancellation circuit and into the MPX
demodulator. The main L + R signal passes a 75
μ
s fixed
de-emphasis filter and is fed into the dematrix circuit.
The decoded sub-signal L
R is sent to the stereo/SAP
switch. To generate the pilot signal the stereo demodulator
uses a PLL circuit including a ceramic resonator.
The stereo channel separation can be adjusted by an
automatic procedure or manually. For a detailed
description see Section “Adjustment procedure”.
The stereo identification can be read by the I
2
C-bus
(see Table 2). Two different pilot thresholds can be
selected via the I
2
C-bus (see Table 24).
SAP
DEMODULATOR
The composite signal is fed from the output of the input
level adjustment stage to the SAP demodulator circuit
through a 5f
H
(f
H
= horizontal frequency) band-pass filter.
The demodulator level is automatically controlled.
The SAP demodulator includes internal noise and field
strength detectors that mute the SAP output in the event of
insufficient signal conditions. The SAP identification signal
can be read by the I
2
C-bus (see Table 2).
S
WITCH
The stereo/SAP switch feeds either the L
R signal or the
SAP demodulator output signal via the internal dbx noise
reduction circuit to the dematrix/line out select circuit.
Table 21 shows the different switch modes provided at the
output pins LOR and LOL.
