FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Both transmission and reception stages are controlled
either by the master clock of the microcontroller or by the
on-chip reference oscillator connected to a crystal. This
ensures the accuracy of the transmission carrier and the
exact trimming of the digital filter, thus making the
performance totally independent of application
disturbances such as component spread, temperature,
supply drift and so on.
The interface with the power network is made by means of
an LC network (see Fig.18). The device includes a power
output stage that feeds a 120 dBµV (RMS) signal on a
typical 30 Ω load.
To reduce power consumption, the IC is disabled by a
power-down input (pin PD): in this mode, the on-chip
oscillator remains active and the clock continues to be
supplied at pin CLK
. For low-power operation in
OUT
reception mode, this pin can be dynamically controlled by
the microcontroller, see Section “Power-down mode”.
When the circuit is connected to an external clock
generator (see Fig.6), the clock signal must be applied at
pin OSC1 (pin 7); OSC2 (pin 8) must be left open-circuit.
Fig.7 shows the use of the on-chip clock circuit.
All logic inputs and outputs are compatible with
TTL/CMOS levels, providing an easy connection to a
standard microcontroller I/O port.
The digital part of the IC is fully scan-testable. Two digital
inputs, SCANTEST and TEST1, are used for production
test: these pins must be left open-circuit in functional mode
(correct levels are internally defined by pull-up or
pull-down resistors).
Transmission mode
To provide strict stability with respect to environmental
conditions, the carrier frequency is generated by scanning
the ROM memory under the control of the microcontroller
clock or the reference frequency provided by the on-chip
oscillator. High frequency clocking rejects the aliasing
components to such an extent that they are filtered by the
coupling LC network and do not cause any significant
disturbance. The data modulation is applied through
pin DATAIN and smoothly applied by specific digital circuits
to the carrier (shaping). Harmonic components are limited
in this process, thus avoiding unacceptable disturbance of
the transmission channel (according to CISPR16 and
EN50065-1 recommendations). A −55 dB Total Harmonic
Distortion (TDH) is reached when the typical LC coupling
network (or an equivalent filter) is used.

Philips SemiconductorsProduct specification
Home automation modemTDA5051A
The DAC and the power stage are set in order to provide
a maximum signal level of 122 dBµV (RMS) at the output.
The output of the power stage (TX
) must always be
OUT
connected to a decoupling capacitor, because of a DC
level of 0.5VDD at this pin, which is present even when the
device is not transmitting. This pin must also be protectedagainst overvoltage and negative transient signals.
The DC level of TX
can be used to bias a unipolar
OUT
transient suppressor, as shown in the application diagram;
see Fig.18.
Direct connection to the mains is done through an LC
network for low-cost applications. However, a HF signal
transformer could be used when power-line insulation has
to be performed.
CAUTION
In transmission mode, the receiving part of the circuit is
not disabled and the detection of the transmitted signal
is normally performed. In this mode, the gain chosen
before the beginning of the transmission is stored, and
the AGC is internally set to −6dB as long as DATA
IN
is LOW. Then, the old gain setting is automatically
restored.
Reception mode
After digital demodulation, the baseband data signal is
made available after pulse shaping.
The signal pin (RXIN) is a high-impedance input which has
to be protected and DC decoupled for the same reasons
as with pin TX
. The high sensitivity (82 dBµV) of this
OUT
input requires an efficient 50 Hz rejection filter (realized by
the LC coupling network), which also acts as an
anti-aliasing filter for the internal digital processing;
see Fig.18.
Data format
T
RANSMISSION MODE
The data input (DATAIN) is active LOW: this means that a
burst is generated on the line (pin TX
) when DATA
OUT
IN
pin is LOW.
Pin TX
is in a high-impedance state as long as the
OUT
device is not transmitting. Successive logic 1s are treated
in a Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ) mode, see pulse shapes in
Figs 8 and 9.
R
ECEPTION MODE
The data output (pin DATA
) is active LOW; this means
OUT
that the data output is LOW when a burst is received.
Pin DATA
remains LOW as long as a burst is received.
OUT
The input signal received by the modem is applied to a
wide range input amplifier with AGC (−6 to +30 dB). This is
basically for noise performance improvement and signal
level adjustment, which ensures a maximum sensitivity of
the ADC. An 8-bit conversion is then performed, followed
Power-down mode
Power-down input (pin PD) is active HIGH; this means that
the power consumption is minimum when pin PD is HIGH.
Now, all functions are disabled, except clock generation.
by digital band-pass filtering, to meet the CISPR
normalization and to comply with some additional
limitations met in current applications.
LIMITING VALUES
In accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 134).
Inputs and outputs are protected against electrostatic discharge in normal handling. However, to be totally safe, it is
desirable to take normal precautions appropriate to handling MOS devices.
Resolution bandwidth =9 kHz; top: 0 dBV (RMS) = 120 dBµV (RMS); marker at −5 dBV (RMS) = 115 dBµV (RMS);
the CISPR16 network provides an attenuation of 6 dB, so the signal amplitude is 121 dBµV (RMS).

SOLDERING
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
“Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages”
(document order number 9398 652 90011).
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all surface
mount IC packages. Wave soldering is not always suitable
for surface mount ICs, or for printed-circuit boards with
high population densities. In these situations reflow
soldering is often used.
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.
Several methods exist for reflowing; for example,
infrared/convection heating in a conveyor type oven.
Throughput times (preheating, soldering and cooling) vary
between 100 and 200 seconds depending on heating
method.
Typical reflow peak temperatures range from
215 to 250 °C. The top-surface temperature of the
packages should preferable be kept below 230 °C.
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 transport direction of the
printed-circuit board.
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 is 4 seconds at 250 °C.
A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal
of corrosive residues in most applications.
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 to 5 seconds between
270 and 320 °C.

Suitability of surface mount IC packages for wave and reflow soldering methods
1. All surface mount (SMD) packages are moisture sensitive. Depending upon the moisture content, the maximum
temperature (with respect to time) and body size of the package, there is a risk that internal or external package
cracks may occur due to vaporization of the moisture in them (the so called popcorn effect). For details, refer to the
Drypack information in the
2. These packages are not suitable for wave soldering as a solder joint between the printed-circuit board and heatsink
(at bottom version) can not be achieved, and as solder may stick to the heatsink (on top version).
3. 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.
4. Wave soldering is only suitable for LQFP, TQFP and QFP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger than 0.8 mm;
it is definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.65 mm.
5. Wave soldering is only suitable for SSOP and TSSOP 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.
