necessary for state-of-the-art as well as future carradios. The digital control allows a programming in a
wide range of all the filter characteristics. Also the
stereodecoder part offers several possibilities of programming especially for the adaptation to different

1.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE AUDIOPROCESSOR PART
1.1 Input stages
In the basic configuration two full-differential, two mono-differential, one single ended stereo and one singleended mono input are available. In addition a dedicated input for the stereodecoder MPX-signal is present.
Figure 1. Input-stages
Full-differential stereo Input 1 (FD1)
The FD1-input is implemented as a buffered full-differential stereo stage with 100kΩinput-impedance at each
input. The attenuation is programmable in 3 steps from 0 to -12dB in order to adapt the incoming signal level.
A 6dB attenuation is included in the differential stage, the additional 6dBare done by a following resistive divider. This input is also configurable as two single-ended stereo inputs (see pin-out).
Full-differential stereo Input 2 (FD2)
The FD2-input has the same general structure as FD1, but with a programmable attenuation of 0 or 6dB embedded in the differential stage.
11/59
Page 12
TDA7402
Mono-differential Input 1 (MD1)
The MD1-input is designed as a basic differential stage with 56kΩ input-impedance. This input is configurable
as a single-ended stereo input (see pin-out).
Mono-differential Input 2 (MD2)
The MD2-input has the same topology as MD1, but without the possibility to configure it to single ended.
Single-endedstereo Input (SE1), single-ended mono input (AM) and FM-MPX input
All single ended inputs offer an input impedance of 100kΩ. The AM-pin can be connected by software to the
input of the stereo-decoder in order to use the AM-noiseblanker and AM-High-Cut feature.
1.2 AutoZero
The AutoZero allows a reduction of the number of pins as well as external components by canceling any offset
generated by or before the In-Gain-stage (Please notice that externally generated offsets, e.g. generated
through the leakage current of the coupling capacitors, are not canceled).
The auto-zeroing is started every time the DATA-BYTE 0 is selected and needs max.
To avoidaudible clicks the Audioprocessor is muted before the loudness stage during this time. The AutoZerofeature is only present in the main signal-path.
0.3ms for the alignment.
AutoZero for Stereodecoder-Selection
A special procedure is recommended for selecting the stereodecoder at the main input-selector to guarantee
an optimum offset-cancellation:
(Step 0: SoftMute or Mute the signal-path)
Step 1: Temporary deselect the stereodecoder at all input-selectors
Step 2: Configure the stereodecoder via IIC-Bus
Step 3: Wait 1ms
Step 4: Select the stereodecoder at the main input-selector first
The root cause of this procedure is, that after muting the stereodecoder (Step 1), the internal stereodecoder
filters have to settle in order to perform a proper offset-cancellation.
AutoZero-Remain
In some cases, for example if the µP is executing a refresh cycle of the IIC-Bus-programming, it is not useful
to start a new AutoZero-action because no new source is selected and an undesired mute would appear at the
outputs. For such applications the A619 could be switched in the
dress-byte). If this bit is set to high, the DATABYTE 0 could be loaded without invoking the AutoZero and the
old adjustment-value remains.

1.3 Pause Detector / MUX-Output
The pin number 40(Pause/MUX) is configurable for two different functions:
1. During Pause-Detector OFF this pin is used as a mono-output of the maininput-selector. This signal is often
used to drive a level-/equalizer-display on the carradio front-panel.
2. DuringPause-Detector ON the pin isused todefine the time-constant ofthe detector by an externalcapacitor.
The pause-detector is driven by the internal stereodecoder-outputs in order to use pauses in the FM-signal
for alternate-frequency-jumps. If the signal-level of both stereodecoder channels is outside the programmed
voltage-window, the external capacitor is abruptly discharged. Inside the pause-condition the capacitor is
slowly recharged bya constant current of 25µA. The pause information is also available via IIC-Bus (see IICBus programming).

1.5 SoftMute
The digitally controlled SoftMute stage allows muting/demuting the signal with a I2C-bus programmable slope.
The mute process can either be activated by the SoftMute pin or by the I
2
C-bus. This slope is realized in a spe-
cial S-shaped curve to mute slow in the critical regions (see Figure 5).
For timing purposes the Bit0 of the I
2
C-bus output register is setto 1 from the start ofmuting until the end of de-
muting.

Note: Please notice that a started Mute-action is always terminated and could not be interrupted by a change of the mute -signal.

1.6 SoftStep-Volume
When the volume-level is changed audible clicks could appear at the output. The root cause of those clicks
could either be a DC-Offset before the volume-stage or the sudden change of the envelope of the audiosignal.
With the SoftStep-feature both kinds of clicks could be reduced to a minimum and are no more audible. The
blend-time from one step to the next is programmable in four steps.

1.11Compander
Signal-Compression
A fully integrated signal-compressor with programmable Attack- and Decay-times is present in the A619 (see
Figure 15).
The compander consists of a signal-level detection, an A/D-Converter plus adder and the normal SoftStep-Volume-stage. Firstof all the left and the right InGain-signal is rectified, respectively, andthe logarithm isbuild from
the summed signal. The following low-pass smooth the output-signal of the logarithm-amplifier and improves
the low-frequency suppression. The low-pass output-voltage then isA/D-converted an added tothe current volume-word defined by the IIC-Bus. Assuming reference-level or higher at thecompander input,the output of the
ADC is 0. At lower levels the voltage is increasing with 1Bit/dB. It is obvious that with this configuration and a
0.5dB-step volume-stage the compression rate is fixed to 2:1 (1dB less at the input leads to 0.5dB less at the
output).
The internal reference-level of the compander is programmable in three steps from 0.5V
RMS
to 2V
proper behavior of the compression-circuit it is mandatory to have at a 0dB input-signal exactly the programmed
reference-level after the InGain-stage. E.g. ata configured reference-level of 0.5V
stage has to have also 0.5V
at 0dB source-signal (Usually the 0dB for CD is defined as the maximum pos-
RMS
the output of theInGain-
RMS
sible signal-level). To adapt the external level to the internal reference-level the programmable attenuation in
the differential-stages and the InGain can be used.

. For a
Anti-Clipping
In a second application the compander-circuit can be used for a Anti-Clipping or Limiting function. In this case
one of the dedicated inputs(AM or MPin) is connected directly to the Clip-Detector of the Power-Amplifier. If no
clipping is detected, the open-collector output of the Power-Amplifier is highohmic and the input-voltage of the
rectifier is V
. The level-detector interprets this as a very small signal and reacts with the maximum pro-
REF
grammed compander-gain. In the application this gain has to be compensated by decreasing the volume with

Page 21
TDA7402
the same valuein order to get the desired output-level. Inclipping situation the open-collector-current generates
a voltage-drop at the rectifier-input, which forces the compander to decrease the gain until the clipping disappears.
It is even possible to run the compression-mode and the Anti-Clipping mode in parallel. In this case the maximum Compander-Gain should be set to 29dB.
1.11.1Characteristic
To achieve the desired compression characteristic like shown below the volume has to be decreased by 4dB.

3.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF STEREODECODER
Figure 25. Block diagram of Stereodecoder
The stereodecoder-part of theA619 (see Fig. 25) contains all functions necessary to demodulate the MPX-signal like pilottone-dependent MONO/STEREO-switching aswell as ”stereoblend” and ”highcut”. Adaptations like
programmable input gain, roll-off compensation, selectable deemphasis time constant and a programmable
fieldstrength input allow to use different IF-devices.
3.1 Stereodecoder-Mute
The A619 has a fastandeasy to control RDS-Mute function which is a combination of the audioprocessor’s SoftMute and the high-ohmic mute of the stereodecoder. If the stereodecoder isselected and a SoftMute command
is sent (oractivated through the SM-pin)the stereodecoder will be set automatically to the high-ohmic mute condition after the audio-signal has been softmuted. Hence a checkingof alternate frequencies could be performed.
Additionally the PLL can be set to ”Hold”-mode, which disables the PLL input during the mute time. To release
the system from the mute condition simply the unmute-command must be sent: the stereodecoder is unmuted
immediately andtheaudioprocessor is softly unmuted. Fig. 26 shows the output-signal V
stereodecoder mutesignal. This influence of SoftMute onthe stereodecoder mute canbeswitched off bysetting
bit 3 of the SoftMute byte to ”0”. A stereodecoder mute command (bit 0, stereodecoder byte set to ”1”) willset
the stereodecoder
If any other source than the stereodecoder is selected the decoder remains muted and the MPX-pin is connected to V

The InGain stage allows to adjust the MPX-signal to a magnitude of about 1V
mended value. The 4.th order input filter has a corner frequency of 80kHz and is used to attenuate spikes and
noise and acts as an anti-aliasing filter for the following switch capacitor filters.

rms
3.3 Demodulator
In the demodulator block the left and the right channel are separated from the MPX-signal. In this stage also the
19-kHz pilottoneis cancelled. Forreaching a high channel separation the A619 offers anI
roll-off adjustment which is able to compensate the lowpass behavior of the tuner section. If the tuner’s attenuation at 38kHz is in a range from 7.2% to 31.0% the A619 needs no external network in front of the MPX-pin.
Within this range an adjustment to obtain at least 40dB channel separation is possible. The bits for this adjustment are located together with the fieldstrength adjustment in one byte. This gives thepossibility to perform an

optimization step during the production of the carradio where the channel separation and the fieldstrength control are trimmed. The setup of the Stereoblend characteristics which is programmable in a wide range is described in 2.8.
3.4 Deemphasis and Highcut
The deemphasis-lowpass allows to choose a time constant between 37.5 and 100µs. The highcut control range
will be 2 xτ
D7 of the hightcut-byte will shift timeconstant and range.
Inside the highcut control range (between VHCH and VHCL) the LEVEL signal is converted into a 5 bit word
which controls the lowpass timeconstant between τ
always 5 bits independently of the absolute voltage range between the VHCH- and VHCL-values. In addition
the maximum attenuation can be fixed between 2 and 10dB.
The highcut function can be switched off by I
The setup of the highcut characteristics is described in 2.9.
3.5 PLL and Pilottone-Detector
The PLL has the task to lock on the 19kHz pilottone during a stereo-transmission to allow a correct demodulation. The included pilottone-detector enables the demodulation if the pilottone reaches the selected pilottone

3.6 Fieldstrength Control
The fieldstrength input is used tocontrol the highcut- and the stereoblend-function. In addition the signalcan be
also used to control the noiseblanker thresholds and as input for the multipath detector. These additional functions are described in sections 3.3 and 4.
3.7 EVEL-Input and -Gain
To suppress undesired high frequency modulation on the highcut- and stereoblend-control signal the LEVEL
signal islowpass filtered firstly. The filter is a combination of a 1.st-orderRC-lowpass at 53kHz (working as antialiasing filter)anda1.st-order switched-capacitor-lowpass at 2.2kHz. The second stageis aprogrammable gain
stage to adapt the LEVEL signal internally to different IF-devices (see Testmode section 5: LEVELHCC). The
gain is widely programmable in 16 steps from 0dB to 6dB (step=0.4dB). These 4 bits are located together with
the Roll-Off bits inthe ”Stereodecoder-Adjustment”-byte to simplify a possible adjustment duringthe production
of the carradio. This signal controls directly the Highcut stage whereas the signal is filtered again (fc=100Hz)
before the stereoblend stage (see fig. 32).
3.8 Stereoblend Control
The stereoblend control block converts the internal LEVEL-voltage (LEVELSB) into an demodulator compatible
analog signal which is used to control the channel separation between 0dB and the maximum separation. Internally this control range hasa fixed upper limit which is the internal reference voltage REF5V. The lower limitcan
be programmed between 20 and 70% of REF5V in 3.3% steps (see figs.28, 29).
To adjust the external LEVEL-voltage to the internal range two values must be defined: the LEVEL gain L
and
G
VSBL (see fig. 29). At the point of full channel separation the external level signal has to be amplified that internally it becomes equal to REF5V. The second point (e.g. 10dB channel sep.) is then adjusted with the VSBL
voltage.

Figure 28. Internal stereoblend characteristics
The gain can be programmed through 4bits in the ”Stereodecoder-Adjustment”-byte. All necessary internal reference voltages like REF5V are derived from a bandgap circuit. Therefore they have a temperature coefficient
near zero.

3.9 Highcut Control
The highcut control set-up is similar to the stereoblend control set-up : the starting point VHCH can be set with
2 bits to be 42, 50, 58 or 66% of REF5V whereas the range can be set to be 17, 22, 28 or 33% of VHCH (see
fig. 30).

4.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE NOISEBLANKER
In the automotive environment the MPX-signal as well as the AM-signal is disturbed by spikes produced by the
ignition and other radiating sources like the wiper-motor. The aim of the noiseblanker part is to cancel the audible influence of the spikes. Therefore the output of the stereodecoder is held at the actual voltage for a time
between 22 and 38µs in FM (370 and 645µs in AM-mode). The blockdiagram of the noiseblanker is given in
fig.31.
Figure 31. Block diagram of the noiseblanker
In a first stage the spikes must be detected but to avoid a wrong triggering on high frequency (white) noise a
complex trigger control is implemented. Behind the triggerstage a pulse former generates the ”blanking”-pulse.
4.1 Trigger Path FM
The incoming MPX signal is highpass-filtered, amplified and rectified. This second order highpass-filter has a
corner-frequency of 140kHz. The rectified signal, RECT, is integrated (lowpass filtered) to generate a signal
called PEAK. The DC-charge/discharge behaviour can be adjusted as well as the transient behaviour(MP-discharge control). Also noise with a frequency 140kHz increases the PEAK voltage. The PEAK voltage is fed to
a threshold generator, which adds to the PEAK-voltage a DC-dependent threshold VTH. Both signals, RECT
and PEAK+VTH are fed to a comparator which triggers a re-triggerable monoflop. The monoflop’s output activates the sample-and-hold circuits in the signalpath for the selected duration.
4.2 Noise Controlled Threshold Adjustment (NCT)
There are mainly two independent possibilities for programming the trigger threshold:
1. the lowthreshold in 8 steps (bits D
2. and the noise adjusted threshold in 4 steps (bits D
The low threshold is activ in combination with a good MPX signal without noise; the PEAK voltage is less than
1V. The sensitivity in this operation is high.
If the MPX signal is noisy (low fieldstrength) the PEAK voltage increases due to the higher noise, which is also
rectified. With increasing of the PEAK voltage the trigger threshold increases, too. This gain is programmable
in 4 steps (see fig. 22).

4.3 Additional Threshold Control Mechanism
4.3.1 Automatic Threshold Control by the Stereoblend voltage
Besides the noise controlled threshold adjustment there is an additional possibility for influencing the trigger
threshold which depends on the stereoblend control.
The point where the MPX signal starts tobecome noisy isfixed by the RFpart. Therefore also the starting point
36/59
Page 37
TDA7402
of the normal noise-controlled trigger adjustment isfixed (fig.24). In some cases the behavior of the noiseblanker can be improved by increasing the threshold even in a region of higher fieldstrength. Sometimes a wrong
triggering occurs for the MPX signal often shows distortion in this range which can be avoided even if using a
low threshold. Because of the overlap of this range and the range of the stereo/mono transition it can be controlled by stereoblend. This increase of the threshold is programmable in 3 steps or switched off.
4.3.2 Over Deviation Detector
If the system is tuned to stations with a high deviation the noiseblanker can trigger on the higher frequencies
of the modulation or distortion. To avoid this behavior, which causes audible noise in the output signal, the
noiseblanker offers a deviation-dependent threshold adjustment. By rectifying the MPX signal a further signal
representing the actual deviation is obtained. It is used to increase the PEAK voltage. Offset and gain of this
circuit are programmable in 3 steps withthe bits D
off the detector, see fig. 23).
4.3.3 Multipath-Level
To react on high repetitive spikes caused by a Multipath-situation, the discharge-time of the PEAK voltage can
be decreased depending on the voltage-level at pin MPout. TheA619 offers a linear as well as a threshold driven control. The linear influence of the Multipath-Level on the PEAK-signal (D

AM mode of the Noiseblanker
The A619 noiseblanker is also suitable for AM noise cancelling. The detector uses in AM mode the 450kHz
unfiltered IF-output of the tuner for spike detection. A combination of programmable gain-stage and lowpassfilter forms an envelope detector which drivesthenoiseblanker’s input via a120kHz 1.st order highpass. Inorder
to blank the whole spike in AM mode the hold-times of the sample and hold circuit are much longer then in FM
(640µs to 1.2ms). All threshold controls can be used like in FM mode.

5.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE MULTIPATH-DETECTOR
Using the Multipath-Detector the audible effects of a multipath condition can be minimized. A multipath-condition is detected by rectifying the spectrum around 19kHz in the fieldstrength signal. An external capacitor is used
to define the attack- and decay-times for the Stereoblend (see blockdiagram, fig. 32). Due to the very small
charge currents this capacitor should be a low leakage current type (e.g ceramic). Using this configuration an
adaptation to the user’s requirement is possible without effecting the ”normal” fieldstrength input (LEVEL) for
the stereodecoder. This application is given in fig. 32. Another (internal) time constant is used to control the
Highcut through the multipath detector
Selecting the ”internal influence” in the configuration byte the Stereo-Blend and/or the Highcut is automatically
invoked during a multipath condition according to the voltage appearing at the MP_OUT-pin.

6.0 QUALITY DETECTOR
The A619 offers a quality detector output which gives a voltage representing the FM-reception conditions. To
calculate this voltage the MPX-noise and the multipath-detector output are summed according to the following
formula :

Qual
= 1.6 (V

).
The noise-signal is the PEAK-signal without additional influences (see noiseblanker description). The factor ’a’
can by programmed to 0.7 .... 1.15. The output is a low impedance output able to drive external circuitry as well
as simply fed to an AD-converter for RDS applications.
7.0 TESTMODE
During the Testmode, which can be activated bysetting bit D0and bit D1of the stereodecoder testing-byte, several internal signals are available at the FD2R+ pin. During this mode the input resistance of 100kOhm is disconnected from the pin. Theinternal signals available are shown in the Data-byte specification.

8.0 DUAL MPX USAGE
8.1 Feature Description
The A619 is able to support a twin tuner concept via the Dual-MPX-Mode. In this configuration the MPX-pin and
the MD2G-pin are acting as MPX1 and MPX2 inputs. The DC-Voltage at the MD2-pin controls whether one or
both MPX-signals are used to decode the stereo FM-signal. It is designed as a window-comparator with the
characteristic shown in Figure 1 (Please note that the thresholds have a hysteresis of 500mV).
In this mode the stereodecoder highohmic-mute mutes both inputs in parallel.
Figure 33.
8.2 Configuration
The Dual-MPX-Mode canbe easily configured bysetting bit 3 of subaddress 30 to LOW (seeByte30 description
and Application Diagram of fig. 35).
