The SAA7130HL is a single chip solution to digitize and decode video, and capture it
through the PCI-bus.
Special means are incorporated to maintain the synchronization of audio to video. The
device offers versatile peripheral interfaces (GPIO) that support various extended
applications, e.g. analog audio pass-through for loopback cable to the sound card, or
capture of DTV and DVB transport streams, such as Vestigial Side Band (VSB),
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Quadrature Amplitude
Modulation (QAM) decoded digital television standards, see Figure 1.

1.1 Introduction
The PCI video broadcast decoder SAA7130HL is a highly integrated, low cost and solid
foundation for TV capture in the PC, for analog TV and digital video broadcast. The
various multimedia data types are transported over the PCI-bus by bus-master-write, to
optimally exploit the streaming capabilities of a modern host-based system. Legacy
requirements are also taken care of.

SAA7130HL
PCI video broadcast decoder
The SAA7130HL meets the requirements of
PC design guides 98/99 and 2001
PCI 2.2 and Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) compliant.
The analog video is sampled by 9-bit ADCs, decoded by a multi-line adaptive comb filter
and scaled horizontally, vertically and by field rate.Multiplevideooutputformats(YUVand
RGB) are available, including packed and planar, gamma-compensated or
black-stretched.
Audio is routed as an analog signal via the loopback cable to the sound card.
The SAA7130HL provides a versatile peripheral interface to support system extensions,
e.g. MPEG encoding for time-shift viewing, or DSP applications for audio enhancements.
The channel decoder for digital video broadcast reception (ATSC or DVB) can re-use the
integrated video ADCs.
The Transport Stream (TS) is collected by a tailored interface and pumped through the
PCI-bus to the system memory in well-defined buffer structures. Various internal events,
or peripheral status information, can be enabled as an interrupt on the PCI-bus.

6.Functional description
6.1 Overview of internal functions
The SAA7130HL is able to capture TV signals over the PCI-bus in personal computers by
a single chip; see Figure 4.
The SAA7130HL incorporates two 9-bit video ADCs and the entire decoding circuitry for
any analog TV signal: NTSC, PAL and SECAM, including non-standard signals, such as
playback from a VCR. The adaptive multi-line comb filter provides superb picture quality,
component separation, sharpness and high bandwidth. The video stream can be cropped
and scaled to the needs of the application. Scaling down as well as zooming up is
supported in the horizontal and vertical direction, and an adaptive filter algorithm prevents
aliasing artifacts. With the acquisition unit of the scaler two different ‘tasks’ can be defined,
e.g. to capture video to the CPU for compression, and write video to the screen from the
same video source but with different resolution, color format and frame rate.
…continued
clock cycle before leaving to 3-state
is LOW
The SAA7130HL incorporates analog audio pass-through and support for the analog
audio loopback cable to the sound card function.
The decoded video streams are fed to the PCI-bus, and are also applied to a peripheral
streaming interface, in ITU, VIP or VMI format. A possible application extension is
on-board hardware MPEG compression, or other feature processing. The compressed
data is fed back through the peripheral interface,in parallelor serial format, to be captured
by the system memory through the PCI-bus. The Transport Stream (TS) from a DTV/DVB
channel decoder can be captured through the peripheral interface in the same way.
Video and transport streams are collected in a configurable FIFO with a total capacity of
1 kB. The DMA controller monitors the FIFO filling degree and master-writes the audio
and video stream to the associated DMA channel. The virtual memory address space
(from OS) is translated into physical (bus) addresses by the on-chip hardware Memory
Management Unit (MMU).
The application of the SAA7130HL is supported by reference designs and a set of drivers
for the Windows operating system (Windows driver model compliant).
The SAA7130HL enables PC TV capture applications both on the PC motherboard and
on PCI add-on TV capture cards. Figure 5 and Figure 6 illustrate some examples of
add-on card applications.
Figure 5 shows the basic application to capture video from analog TV sources. The
proposed tuner types incorporate the RF tuning function and the IF down conversion.
Usually the IF down conversion stage also includes a single channel and analog sound
FM demodulator. The Philips tuner FI1216 MK2 is dedicated to the 50 Hz system
B/G standard as used in Europe. The FI1236 MK2 is the comparable type for the 60 Hz
system M standard for the USA. Both types are suited for terrestrial broadcast and for
cable reception. The tuner provides composite video and baseband audio as mono or
‘multiplexed’ (mpx) in case of BTSC. These analog video and sound signals are fed to the
appropriate input pins of the SAA7130HL.
Further analog video input signals, CVBS and/or Y-C, can be connected via the board
back panel, or the separate front connectors, e.g. from a camcorder. Accompanying
stereo audio signals can also be fed to the SAA7130HL.
Video is digitized and decoded to YUV. The digital streams are pumped via DMA into the
PCI memory space.
The SAA7130HL incorporates the means for legacy analog audio signal routing. The
analog audio input signal is fed via an analog audio loopback cable into the line-in of a
legacy sound card. An external audio signal, that would have otherwise connected directly
to the sound card, is now routed through the SAA7130HL. This analog pass-through is
enabled as default by a system reset, i.e. without any driver involvement and before
system setup.
During the power-up procedure, the SAA7130HL will investigate the on-board EEPROM
to load the board-specific system vendor ID and board version ID into the related places
of the PCI configuration space. The board vendor can store other board-specific data in
the EEPROM that is accessible via the I2C-bus.

Figure 6 shows an application extension with a hybrid TV tuner front-end and digital
terrestrial channel decoding for DVB-T.
The single-conversion tuner TD1316 provides two dedicated IF signals for the analog
IF-PLL (TDA9886) and the digital IF-PLL (TDA9889). The CVBS (video) and AUD (audio,
mono) output signals of the analog IF-PLL can be routed to one of the video inputs and
the audio (left or right) input of the SAA7130HL for analog video decoding and direct audio
streaming to the sound card. On the other hand, the 2nd IF signal of the digital IF-PLL is
fed directly to the interface of the channel decoder (TDA10045), which decodes the signal
into a digital DVB-T Transport Stream (TS).
The SAA7130HL captures this TS via the dedicated peripheral interface into the
configurable internal FIFO for DMA into the PCI memory space.
The packet structure as decoded by the TDA10045 is maintained in a well-defined buffer
structure in the system memory, and therefore can easily be sorted (de-multiplexed) by
the CPU for proper MPEG decoding.
The Broadcast Driver Architecture (BDA) for Windows operating systems supports this
type of hybrid TV capture application, sharing one capture board for analog and digital
TV reception.

The PCI specification defines a structure of the PCI configuration space that is
investigated during the boot-up of the system. The configuration registers (see Table 12)
hold information essential for plug-and-play, to allow system enumeration and basic
device setup without depending on the device driver, and support association of the
proper software driver. Some of the configuration information is hard-wired in the device;
some information is loaded during the system start-up.

The device vendor ID is hard coded to 1131h, which is the code for Philips as registered

The device ID is hard coded to 7130h.
During power-up, initiated by PCI reset, the SAA7130HL fetches additional system
information via the I2C-bus from the on-board EEPROM,toloadactualboard-type specific
codes for the system vendor ID, sub-system ID (board version) and ACPI related
parameters into the configuration registers.
The power management capabilities and power states are reported in the extended
configuration space. The main purpose of ACPI and PCI power management is to tailor
the power consumption of the device to the actual needs.
The SAA7130HL supports all four ACPI device power states (see Table 13).
The pin PROP_RST_N of the peripheral interface is switched active LOW during the PCI
reset procedure, and for the duration of the D3-hot state. Peripheral devices on board of
the add-on card should use the level of this signal PROP_RST_N to switch themselves in

The SAA7130HL supports seven DMA channels to master-write captured active video,
raw VBI and DTV/DVB Transport Streams (TS) into the PCI memory. Each DMA channel
contains inherently the definition of two buffers, e.g. for odd and even fields in case of
interlaced video.

registers are not accessible, but content is maintained. All functional circuitry of
the SAA7130HL is disabled, including the crystal and clock oscillators.
programming registers gets lost and is set to default values when returning to D0.
The DMA channels share in time and space one common FIFO pool of 256 Dwords
(1024 bytes) total. It is freely configurable how much FIFO capacity can be associated
with which DMA channel. Furthermore, a preferred minimum burst length can be
programmed, i.e. the amount of data to be collected before the request for the PCI-bus is
issued. This means that latency behavior per DMA channel can be tailored and optimized
for a given application.
In the event that a FIFO of a certain channel overflows due to latency conflict on the bus,
graceful overflow recovery is applied. The amount of data that gets lost because it could
not be transmitted, is monitored (counted) and the PCI-bus address pointer is
incremented accordingly.Thus new data will be written to the correct memory place, after
the latency conflict is resolved.
6.4.4 Virtual and physical addressing
Most operating systems allocate memory to requesting applications for DMA as
continuous ranges in virtual address space. The data flow over the PCI-bus points to
physical addresses, usually not continuous and split in pages of 4 kB (Intel architecture,
most UNIX systems, Power PC).
The association between the virtual (logic) address space and the fragmented physical
address space is defined in page tables (system files); see Figure 8.
The SAA7130HL incorporates hardware support (MMU) to translate virtual to physical
addresses on the fly, by investigating the related page table information. This hardware
support reduces the demand for real-time software interaction and interrupt requests, and
therefore saves system resources.
Fig 8. MMU implementation (shown bit width indication is valid for 4 kB mode)
6.4.5 Status and interrupts on PCI-bus
The SAA7130HL provides a set of status information about internal signal processing,
video standard detection, peripheral inputs and outputs (pins GPIO) and behavior on the
PCI-bus. This status information can be conditionally enabled to raise an interrupt on the
PCI-bus, e.g. completion of a certain DMA channel or buffer, or change in a detected
TV standard, or the state of peripheral devices.
The cause of an issued interrupt is reported in a dedicated register, even if the original
condition has changed before the system was able to investigate the interrupt.
6.5 Analog TV standards
Analog TV signals are described in three categories of standards:
• Basic TV systems: defining frame rate, number of lines per field, levels of
synchronization signals, blanking, black and white, signal bandwidth and the
RF modulation scheme
• Color transmission: defining color coding and modulation method
• Sound and stereo: defining coding for transmission
TV signals that are broadcast usually conform fairly accurately to the standards.
Transmission over the air or through a cable can distort the signal with noise, echoes,
crosstalk or other disturbances.
Video signals from local consumer equipment, e.g. VCR, camcorder, camera, game
console, or even DVD player, often do not follow the standard specification very
accurately.
Playback from video tape cannot be expected to maintain correct timing, especially not
during feature mode (fast forward, etc.).
Table 14 to Table 16 list some characteristics of the various TV standards.
The SAA7130HL decodes all color TV standards and non-standard signals as generated
by video tape recorders e.g. automatic video standard detection can be applied, with
preference options for certain standards, or the decoder can be forced to a dedicated
standard.

6.6 Video processing
6.6.1 Analog video inputs
The SAA7130HL provides five analog video input pins:
• Composite video signals (CVBS), from tuner or external source
• S-video signals (pairs of Y-C), e.g. from camcorder
• DTV/DVB ‘low-IF’ signal, from an appropriate DTV or combi-tuner
Analog anti-alias filters are integrated on chip and therefore, no external filters are
required. The device also contains automatic clamp and gain control for the video input
signals, to ensure optimum utilization of the ADC conversion range. The nominal video
signal amplitude is 1 V (p-p) and the gain control can adapt deviating signal levels in the
range of +3 dB to −6 dB. The video inputs are digitized by two ADCs of 9-bit resolution,
with a sampling rate of nominal 27 MHz (the line-locked clock) for analog video signals.
The SAA7130HL recovers horizontal and vertical synchronization signals from the
selected video input signal, even under extremely adverse conditions and signal
distortions. Such distortions are ‘noise’, static or dynamic echoes from broadcast over air,
crosstalk from neighboring channels or power lines (hum), cable reflections, time base
errors from video tape play-back and non-standard signal levels from consumer type
video equipment (e.g. cameras, DVD).
The heart of this TV synchronization system is the generation of the Line-Locked Clock
(LLC) of nominal 27 MHz, as defined by
sampling, and alwaysprovides a regular pattern of synchronization signals, that is a fixed
and well defined number of clock pulses per line. This is important for further video
processing devices connected to the peripheral video port (pins GPIO). It is very effective
to run under the LLC of 27 MHz, especially for on-board hardware MPEG encoding
devices, since MPEG is defined on this clock and sampling frequency.
6.6.3 Video decoding and automatic standard detection
The SAA7130HL incorporates color decoding for any analog TV signal. All color
TV standards and flavors of NTSC, PAL, SECAM and non-standard signals (VCR) are
automatically recognized and decoded into luminance and chrominance components, i.e.
Y-CB-CR, also known as YUV.
ITU-R BT.601
SAA7130HL
PCI video broadcast decoder
. The LLC ensures orthogonal
The video decoder of the SAA7130HL incorporates an automatic standard detection, that
does not only distinguish between 50 Hz and 60 Hz systems, but also determines the
color standard of the video input signal. Various preferences (‘look first’) for automatic
standard detection can be chosen, or a selected standard can be forced directly.
6.6.4 Adaptive comb filter
The SAA7130HL applies adaptive comb filter techniques to improve the separation of
luminance and chrominance components in comparison to the separation by a chroma
notch filter, as used in traditional TV color decoder technology. The comb filter compares
the signals of neighboring lines, taking into account the phase shift of the chroma
subcarrier from line to line. ForNTSCthesignalfromthree adjacent lines are investigated,
and in the event of PAL the comb filter taps are spread over four lines.
Comb filtering achieves higher luminance bandwidth, resulting in sharper picture and
detailed resolution. Comb filtering further minimizes color crosstalk artifacts, which would
otherwise produce erroneous colors on detailed luminance structures.
The comb filter as implemented in the SAA7130HL is adaptive in two ways:
• Adaptive to transitions in the picture content
• Adaptive to non-standard signals (e.g. VCR)
The integrated digital delay lines are always exactly correct, due to the applied unique
line-locked sampling scheme (LLC). Therefore the comb filter does not need to be
switched off for non-standard signals and remains operating continuously.
The SAA7130HL detects if the decoded video signal is copy protected by the Macrovision
system. The detection logic distinguishes the three levels of the copy protection as
defined in rev. 7.01, and are reported as status information. The decoded video stream is
not effected directly, but application software and Operation System (OS) has to ensure
that this video stream maintains the ‘copy protected’ tag, and the video signal should
leave the system only with the reinforced copy protection. The multi-level Macrovision
detection on the video capture side supports proper TV re-encoding at the output point,
e.g. by Philips TVencoders SAA712x or SAA7102.
6.6.6 Video scaling
The SAA7130HL incorporates a filter and processing unit to downscale or upscale the
video picture in the horizontal and vertical dimension, and in frame rate
(see Figure 9 and Figure 10). The phase accuracy of the re-sampling process is1⁄64of the
original sample distance. This is equivalent to a clock jitter of less than 1 ns. The filter
depth of the anti-alias filter adapts to the scaling ratio,from10 taps horizontally for scaling
ratios close to 1 : 1, to up to 74 taps for an icon sized video picture.
Most video capture applications will typically require downscaling. But some zooming is
required for conversionofITUsamplingtoSQuare Pixel(SQP),ortoconvert the 240 lines
of an NTSC field to 288 lines to comply with ITU-T video phone formats.
SAA7130HL
PCI video broadcast decoder
The scaling acquisition definition also includes cropping, frame ratereduction,anddefines
the amount of pixels and lines to be transported through DMA over the PCI-bus.
Two programming pages are available to enable re-programming of the scaler in the
‘shadow’ of the running processing, without holding or disturbing the flow of the video
stream. Alternatively, the two programming pages can be applied to support two video
destinations or applications with different scaler settings, e.g. firstly to capture video to
CPU for compression (storage, video phone), and secondly to preview the picture on the
monitor screen. A separate scaling region is dedicated to capture raw VBI samples, with a
specific sampling rate, and to write it into its own DMA channel.
The Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI) is often utilized to transport data over analog video
broadcast. Such data can closely relate to the actual video stream, or just be general data
(e.g. news). Some examples for VBI data types are:
• Closed Caption (CC) for the hearing impaired (CC, on line 21 of first field)
• Intercast data in US coded in North-American Broadcast Text System (NABTS)
format, in Europe in World Standard Teletext (WST), to transmit internet related
services, optionally associated with actual video program content
• Teletext, transporting news services and broadcast related information, Electronic
Program Guide (EPG), widely used in Europe (coded in WST format)
• EPG, broadcaster specific program and schedule information, sometimes with
proprietary coding scheme (pay service), usually carried on NABTS, WST, Video
Programming Service (VPS), or proprietary data coding format
• Video Time Codes (VTC) as inserted in camcorders e.g. used for video editing
• Copy Guard Management System (CGMS) codes, to indicate copy protected video
material, sometimes combined with format information, Wide Screen Signalling
(WSS)
SAA7130HL
PCI video broadcast decoder
This information is coded in the unused lines of the vertical blanking interval, between the
vertical sync pulse and the active visible video picture. So-called full-field data
transmission is also possible, utilizing all video lines for data coding.
The SAA7130HL supports capture of VBI data by the definition of a VBI region to be
captured as raw VBI samples, that will be sliced and decoded by software on the host
CPU. The raw sample stream is taken directly from the ADC and is not processed or
filtered by the video decoder. The sampling rate of raw VBI can be adjusted to the needs
of the data slicing software.

Analog TV video signals are decoded into their component luminance and color difference
signals (YUV), or in their digital form Y-CB-CR.
line (corresponding to a sampling rate of 27 MHz divided by two), and a certain
relationship from level to number range; see Figure 11.
The video components do not use the entire number range, but leave some margin for
overshoots and intermediate values during processing. For the raw VBI samples there is
no official specification how to code, but it is common practiceto reserve the lower quarter
of the number range for the sync, and to leave some room for overmodulation beyond the
nominal white amplitude; see Figure 12.
The automatic clamp and gain control at the video input, together with the automatic
chroma gain control of the SAA7130HL, ensures that the video component stream at the
output complies with the standard levels. Beyond that additional brightness, contrast,
saturation and hue control can be applied to satisfy special needs of a given application.
The raw VBI samples can be adjusted independent of the active video.
ITU-R BT.601
defines 720 pixels along the
The SAA7130HL incorporates the YUV-to-RGB matrix (optional), the RGB-to-YUV matrix
and a three channel look-up table in between; see Figure 13. Under nominal settings, the
RGB space will use the same number range as defined by the ITU and shown in
Figure 11 for luminance, between 16 and 235. As graphic related applications are based
on full-scale RGB, i.e. 0 to 255, the range can be stretched by applying appropriate
brightness, contrast and saturation values. The look-up table supports gamma correction
(freely definable), and allows other non-linear signal transformation such as black
stretching.
The analog TV signal applies a quite strong gamma pre-compensation (2.2 for NTSC and
2.8 for PAL). As computer monitors exhibit a gamma (around 2.5), the difference between
gamma pre-compensation and actual screen gamma has to be corrected, to achieve best
contrast and color impression.
The SAA7130HL offers a multitude of formats to write video streams over the PCI-bus:
YUV and RGB color space, 15-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit and 32-bit representation, packed and
planar formats. For legacy requirements a clipping procedure is implemented, that allows
the definition of eight overlay rectangles. This process can alternatively be used to
associate ‘alpha’ values to the video pixels.

The decoded and/or scaled video stream can be captured via PCI-DMA to the system
memory, and/or can be made available locally through the video side port (VP), using
some of the GPIO pins. Two types of applications are intended:
• Streaming real-time video to a video side port at the VGA card, e.g. via ribbon cable
over the top
• Feeding video stream to a local MPEG compression device on the same PCI board,
e.g. for time-shift viewing applications
The video port of the SAA7130HL supports the following 8-bit and 16-bit wide YUV video

the insertion of ‘00’ as a marker foremptyclockcycles.For the other video portstandards,
a data valid flag or gated clock can be applied.
Most operating systems are prepared to deal with audio input at only one single entry
point, namely at the sound card function. Therefore the sound associated with video has
to get routed through the sound card.
The SAA7130HL supports analog audio pass-through and the loopback cable on chip.No
external components are required. The audio signal, that was otherwise connected to the
sound card line-in, e.g. analog sound from a CD-ROM drive, has to be connected to one
of the inputs of the SAA7130HL. By default, after a system reset and without involvement
of any driver, this audio signal is passed through to the analog audio output pins, that will
feed the loopback cable to the sound card line-in connector. The AV capture driver has to
open the default pass-through and switch in the TV sound signal by will.
6.8 DTV/DVB channel decoding and TS capture
The SAA7130HL is optimally equipped to support the application extension to capture
digital TV signals, e.g. for VSB (ATSC) or DVB (T/C/S). A hybrid TV tuner for analog and
digital TV broadcast reception usually provides a DTV signal on low IF, i.e. down
converted into a frequency range from 0 MHz to 10 MHz. Such signals can be fed to one
of the 5 video inputs of the SAA7130HL for digitizing. The digital raw DTV is output at the
video port, and is sent to the peripheral channel decoder, e.g. TDA8961 for VSB-8
decoding. The channel decoder provides the sampling clock via the external clock input
pin X_CLK_IN (up to 36 MHz input clock frequency), and adjusts the signal gain in the
tuner or in the video input path in front of the ADC. Alternatively, the low IF DTV/DVB
signal could be fed directly to the channel decoder, depending on the capability for
digitizing the selected device.
SAA7130HL
PCI video broadcast decoder
The peripheral channel decoder circuitry decodes the digital transmission into bits and
bytes, applies error correction etc., and outputs a packed Transport Stream (TS)
accompanied by a clock and handshake signals. The SAA7130HL captures the TS in
parallel or serial protocol, synchronized by Start Of Packet (SOP), and pumps it via the
dedicated DMA into the PCI memory space. The DMA definition supports automatic
toggling between two buffers.
6.9 Control of peripheral devices
6.9.1 I2C-bus master
The SAA7130HL incorporates an I2C-bus master to setup and control peripheral devices
such as tuner, DTV/DVB channel decoder, audio DSP co-processors, etc. The I2C-bus
interface itself is controlled from the PCI-bus on a command level, reading and writing
byte by byte. The actual I2C-bus status is reported (status register) and, as an option, can
raise error interrupts on the PCI-bus.
At PCI reset time, the I2C-bus master receives board-specific information from the
on-board EEPROM to update the PCI configuration registers.
The I2C-bus interface is multi-master capable and can assume slave operation too. This
allows application of the device in the stand-alone mode, i.e. with the PCI-bus not
connected. Under the slave mode, all internal programming registers can be reached via
the I2C-bus with exception of the PCI configuration space.
The PCI system reset and ACPI power management state D3 is propagated to peripheral
devices by the dedicated pin PROP_RST_N. This signal is switched to active LOW by
reset and D3, and is only switched HIGH under control of the device driver ‘by will’. The
intention is that peripheral devices will use signal PROP_RST_N as Chip-Enable (CE).
The peripheral devices should enter a low power consumption state if
pin PROP_RST_N = LOW, and reset into default setting at the rising edge.
6.9.3 GPIO
The SAA7130HL offers a set of General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins, to interface to
on-board peripheral circuits. These GPIOs are intended to take over dedicated functions:
• Digital video port output: 8-bit or 16-bit wide (including raw DTV)
• Transport stream input: parallel or serial (also applicable as I
• Peripheral interrupt input: four GPIO pins of the SAA7130HL can be enabled to raise
an interrupt on the PCI-bus. By this means, peripheral devices can directly intercept
the device driver on changed status or error conditions
SAA7130HL
PCI video broadcast decoder

S-bus input)
Any GPIO pin that is not used for a dedicated function is available for direct read and write
access via the PCI-bus. Any GPIO pin can be selected individually as input or output
(masked write). By these means, very tailored interfacing to peripheral devices can be
created via the SAA7130HL capture driver running on Windows operating systems.
At system reset (PCI reset) all GPIO pins will be set to 3-state and input, and the logic
level present on the GPIO pins at that moment will be savedinto a special ‘strap’ register.
All GPIO pins have an internal pull-down resistor (LOW-level), but can be strapped
externally with a 4.7 kΩ resistor to the supply voltage (HIGH-level). The device driver can
investigate the strap register for information about the hardware configuration of a given
board.

The SAA7130HL has built-in logic and five dedicated pins to support boundary scan
testing which allows board testing without special hardware (nails).
The SAA7130HL follows the
- Scan Architecture
The 5 special pins are: Test Mode Select (TMS), Test Clock (TCK), Test Reset (TRST_N),
Test Data Input (TDI) and Test Data Output (TDO).
The Boundary Scan Test (BST) functions BYPASS, EXTEST, SAMPLE, CLAMP and
IDCODE are all supported (see Table 21). Details about the JTAG BST-test can be found
in the specification
Description Language (BSDL) description of the SAA7130HL is available on request.
10.1.1 Initialization of boundary scan circuit
The Test Access Port (TAP) controller of an IC should be in the reset state
(TEST_LOGIC_RESET) when the IC is in the functional mode. This reset state also
forces the instruction register into a functional instruction such as IDCODE or BYPASS.

To solve the power-up reset, the standard specifies that the TAP controller will be forced
asynchronously to the TEST_LOGIC_RESET state by setting pin TRST_N to LOW-level.
10.1.2 Device identification codes
When the IDCODE instruction is loaded into the BST instruction register, the identification
register will be connected internally between pins TDI and TDO of the IC. The
identification register will load a component specific code during the
CAPTURE_DATA_REGISTER state of the TAP controller and this code can subsequently
be shifted out. At board level, this code can be used to verify component manufacturer,
type and version number. The device identification register contains 32 bits, numbered
31 to 0, where bit 31 is the most significant bit (nearest to TDI) and bit 0 is the least
significant bit (nearest to TDO); see Figure 17.
SAA7130HL
PCI video broadcast decoder
A device identification register is specified in
IEEE Std. 1149.1b-1994
. It is a 32-bit
register which contains fields for the specification of the IC manufacturer, the IC part
number and the IC versionnumber. Its biggest advantageis the possibility to check for the
correct ICs mounted after production and determination of the version number of ICs
during field service.

12.1 Introduction to soldering surface mount packages
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology. A more in-depth account of
soldering ICs can be found in our
(document order number 9398 652 90011).
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all surface mount IC packages. Wave
soldering can still be used for certain surface mount ICs, but it is not suitable for fine pitch
SMDs. In these situations reflow soldering is recommended.
12.2 Reflow soldering
Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of fine solder particles, flux and
binding agent) to be applied to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement. Driven by legislation and
environmental forces the worldwide use of lead-free solder pastes is increasing.
Several methods exist for reflowing; for example, convection or convection/infrared
heating in a conveyor type oven. Throughput times (preheating, soldering and cooling)
vary between 100 seconds and 200 seconds depending on heating method.
SAA7130HL
PCI video broadcast decoder
Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages
Typical reflow peak temperatures range from 215 °Cto270°C depending on solder paste
material. The top-surface temperature of the packages should preferably be kept:
• below 225 °C (SnPb process) or below 245 °C (Pb-free process)
– for all BGA, HTSSON..T and SSOP..T packages
– for packages with a thickness ≥ 2.5 mm
– for packages with a thickness < 2.5 mm and a volume ≥ 350 mm3 so called
thick/large packages.
• below 240 °C (SnPb process) or below 260 °C (Pb-free process) for packages with a
thickness < 2.5 mm and a volume < 350 mm3 so called small/thin packages.
Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on packing, must be respected at all times.
12.3 Wave soldering
Conventional single wave soldering is not recommended for surface mount devices
(SMDs) or printed-circuit boards with a high component density, as solder bridging and
non-wetting can present major problems.
To overcome these problems the double-wave soldering method was specifically
developed.
If wave soldering is used the following conditions must be observed for optimal results:
• Use a double-wave soldering method comprising a turbulent wave with high upward
pressure followed by a smooth laminar wave.
• For packages with leads on two sides and a pitch (e):
– larger than or equal to 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis is preferred to be
parallel to the transport direction of the printed-circuit board;
– smaller than 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis must be parallel to the
The footprint must incorporate solder thieves at the downstream end.
• For packages with leads on four sides, the footprint must be placed at a 45° angle to
the transport direction of the printed-circuit board. The footprint must incorporate
solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
During placement and before soldering, the package must be fixed with a droplet of
adhesive. The adhesive can be applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the adhesive is cured.
Typical dwell time of the leads in the wave ranges from 3 seconds to 4 seconds at 250 °C
or 265 °C, depending on solder material applied, SnPb or Pb-free respectively.
A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal of corrosive residues in most
applications.
12.4 Manual soldering
Fix the component by first soldering two diagonally-opposite end leads. Use a low voltage
(24 V or less) soldering iron applied to the flat part of the lead. Contact time must be
limited to 10 seconds at up to 300 °C.

When using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be soldered in one operation within
2 seconds to 5 seconds between 270 °C and 320 °C.

peak temperature exceeding 217 °C ±10 °C measured in the atmosphere ofthe reflow oven. The package
body peak temperature must be kept as low as possible.
[4] These packages are not suitable for wave soldering. On versions with the heatsink on the bottom side, the
solder cannot penetrate between the printed-circuit board and the heatsink. On versions with the heatsink
on the top side, the solder might be deposited on the heatsink surface.
[5] If wave soldering is considered, then the package must be placed at a 45° angle to the solder wave
direction. The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
[6] Wave soldering is suitable for LQFP, QFP and TQFP packages with a pitch (e) larger than 0.8 mm; it is
definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.65mm.
[7] Wave soldering is suitable for SSOP, TSSOP, VSO and VSSOP packages with a pitch(e) equal to or larger
than 0.65 mm; it is definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.5 mm.
[8] Image sensor packages in principle should not be soldered. They are mounted in sockets or delivered
pre-mounted on flexfoil. However, the image sensor package can be mounted bythe client on a flex foilby
using a hot bar soldering process. The appropriate soldering profile can be provided on request.
