GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This document gives preliminary information about the
TDA8044 and TDA8044A, which are the successors of the
TDA8043. The TDA8044A is only specified where the
product deviates from the TDA8044, all other references
are the same. The TDA8044 is backwards compatible with
the TDA8043, regarding pinning and I2C software.
The TDA8044 is a DVB compliant demodulator and error
correction decoder IC for reception of QPSK and BPSK
modulated signals for satellite applications. It can handle
variable symbol rates in the range of 0.5 to 45 Msymbols/s
(0.5 to 30 Msymbols/s for TDA8044A) with a minimum
number of low cost and non-critical external components.
Typical applications for this device are MCPC (Multi
Channel Per Carrier), SCPC (Single Channel Per Carrier)
and Simulcast. In these applications one satellite
transponder contains respectively one broad
QPSK-carrier, several small QPSK-carriers and one small
QPSK-carrier together with one or two FM-carriers.

The TDA8044 has minimal interfaces with the tuner, it only
requires the demodulated analog I and Q baseband input
signals. Analog to digital conversion is done internally by
two matched 7-bit A-D converters. Since all the loops
(AGC, clock and carrier recovery) are internal, no
feedback to the tuner is needed. However for maximal
tuner flexibility, there is the possibility to close the AGC
and carrier recovery loop externally via the tuner.

The number of external components required for operation
of the TDA8044 is very low. Moreover the external
components are low cost and non-critical. This gives an
easy and low cost application. The TDA8044 runs on a low
frequency crystal which is upconverted to a clock
frequency by means of an internal PLL. With the PLL
different clock frequencies can be selected without
changing the crystal. This allows for maximal flexibility
concerning symbol rate range combined with minimal
power consumption.

Furthermore the TDA8044 has internal anti-alias filters,
which can cover a large range of symbol frequencies
(approximately one decade) without the need to switch
external (SAW) filters. To cover the whole range of

0.5 to 45 Msymbols/s switching of clock frequency

(internally) and filtering (externally) is necessary.
The TDA8044 has a double carrier loop configuration

which has excellent capabilities of tracking phase noise.
Synchronisation of the FEC-unit is done completely
internally, thereby minimizing I
The output of the TDA8044 is highly flexible, allowing
different output modes to interface to a
demultiplexer/descrambler/MPEG-2 decoder including a
3-state mode. For evaluation of the TDA8044,
demodulator and Viterbi outputs can be made available
externally.

The interfacing of the TDA8044 has been extended
compared to the TDA8043. Separate resets are available
for logic only, logic plus I2C and carrier loops. A power-on
reset module has been implemented which gives a reset
signal at power-up. This signal can be used to reset the
SDD in order to guarantee correct starting of the IC.
Two extra general purpose I/O pins (I/O expanders) have
been added. A switchable I2C loop-through to the tuner is
implemented to switch off the I2C connection to the tuner.
This reduces phase noise in the tuner in case of I2C
crosstalk. The transport stream outputs can be put in
3-state mode. Furthermore DiSEqC level 1.X support is
integrated for dish control applications. The power
consumption in stand-by mode has been decreased
considerably.

Pin compatibility

The TDA8044 is backwards pin compatible with the TDA8043, this means that the functional pins of the TDA8043 have
been left unchanged on the TDA8044. However due to extra functionality of the TDA8044, some of the not connected
pins of the TDA8043 will become functional pins on the TDA8044. The following table lists the modified pins of the
TDA8044.

If you want to replace the TDA8043 with the TDA8044 and you do not want to use the pins with extra functionality, then
the following measures on the PCB layout must be taken to avoid I/O conflicts in the TDA8044:

• pin numbers 4, 5, 26, 27, 36, 37, 47, 65, 92, 93 and 95 must be put to ground

• pin numbers 39, 64 and 91 must be left not connected.

With this measures it is possible to use the TDA8043 and the TDA8044 on the same PCB without any problems. In order
to use pins with the extra functionality of the TDA8044, PCB-layout changes are necessary.

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.

• 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

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:

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.

Notes

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

“Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages; Section: Packing Methods”

.

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.
