FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION (see Figs 1 and 16)
The IF amplifier consists of four balanced limiting amplifier stages, two separate inputs (AM and FM) and one output.
Software programming (see Table 2; Figs 4 and 5) allows the input signals (AM/FM) to be inserted on either input (pin
18 or 19). The output drives the frequency counter and via the mute stage, drives the quadrature detector. The output of
the quadrature detector is applied to an audio stage (which has a single-ended output). The AM/FM level amplifier, which
is driven by 5 IF level detectors, generates a signal dependent d.c. voltage. The level output voltage is used internally to
control the mute stage and, if required, the signal can be used externally to control the stereo channel separation and
frequency response of a stereo decoder. The signal is also feed to the analogue-to-digital converter (ADC). Due to the
front-end spread in the amplification, the level voltage is made adjustable (LADJ, pin 14). The level voltage amplifier
controls the mute stage and this insures the −3 dB limiting point remains constant, independent of the front-end spread.
AM and FM mode have different front-end circuitry, therefore LADJ must be adjustable for both inputs.
The output voltage of the level amplifier is dependent upon the field strength of the input signal. The multi-path of the FM
signal exists in the AM modulation of the input signal. The following method is used to determine the level information
and the amount of multi-path (as a DC voltage):
• the IF level detector detects the multi-path and feds the signal, via the level amplifiers, to the external bandpass filter
(pin 3) and ADC1
• the signal is then fed to an internal rectifier
• the rectified signal is then fed to an amplifier, so at pin 5 the DC level information is externally available and internally
used by ADC2
In the FM mode, the DC information concerning the multi-path is available at pin 5 and the level information is available
at pin 3.

In the AM mode, the level information at pin 3 cannot be directly used owing to AM modulation on the output signal of
the level amplifier. This signal requires filtering, which is achieved by the following method:
• the multiplexer is switched to a position which causes the signal to be applied to the attenuator
• after attenuation the signal is fed to an amplifier (the resultant gain of attenuator and amplifier is unity), after
amplification the signal is filtered by an internal resistor and external capacitor
• after filtering the signal is applied to ADC2 and is externally available
In AM mode pin 5 contains the level information.
The voltages on pin 3 and 5 are converted into two 3-bit digital words by the ADC, which can then be read out by the
I2C bus. The meaning of the 3- bit words is shown in Table 1.

The FM modulated signal is converted into an audio signal by the symmetrical quadrature detector. The main advantage
of such a detector is that it requires few external components.
POSITION
An FM signal requires good AM suppression, and as a result, the IF amplifiers must act as limiters. To achieve good
suppression on small input signals the IF amplifiers must have a high gain and thus a high sensitivity. High sensitivity is
an undesirable property when used in car radio applications, this problem is solved by having an externally adjustable
mute stage to control the overall sensitivity of the device.
The IF mute stage is controlled by the level amplifier (soft muting) and is only active in FM mode. If the input falls below
a predetermined level, the mute stage becomes active. To avoid the 'ON/OFF' effect of the audio signal due to
fluctuations of the input signal, the mute stage is activated rapidly but de-activated slowly. The mute stage is de-activated
slowly, via a current source and an external capacitor at pin 2, to avoid aggressive behaviour of the audio signal. It is
possible to adjust the '−3 dB limiting point' of the audio output via the level voltage due to the level signal being externally
adjustable. If hard muting is required then pin 2 must be switched to ground.
The 8-bit counter allows accurate stop information to be obtained, because exact tuning is achieved when the measured
frequency is equal to the centre frequency of the IF filter.
To measure the input frequency, the number of pulses which occur in a defined time must be counted. This defined time
is refered to as 'window'. A wide window indicates a long measuring time and therefore a high accuracy. The counter
resolution is defined as Hertz per count. Due to the TEA6100 having to measure the IF frequencies of AM and FM, the
counter resolution must be adjustable (different channel spacing). The counter resolution depends on the setting of
dividers 1 (N1), divider 2 (N2) and the reference frequency (F
software (see section PROGRAMMING INFORMATION). In Table 3 the window and counter resolution has been
calculated for a reference frequency of 40 kHz. The accuracy is controlled by bit 7 of the input word. Although the
resolution is the same for bit 7 = logic 0 and bit 7 = logic 1, the width of the window doubles when bit 7 = logic 1.
• bit 7 = 0, accuracy = ± counter resolution
• bit 7 = 1, accuracy = ± 1⁄2 counter resolution

Communication between TEA6100 and the microcomputer is via a two wire bidirectional I2C bus. The power supply lines
are fully isolated to avoid cross talk between the digital and analogue parts of the circuit.
Alignment of the circuit is obtained with an IF input signal > 200 µV. Tuning the circuit is performed by, detuning L2,
adjusting L1 to obtain a minimum distortion level and then adjusting L2 to obtain a minimum distortion level.

PROGRAMMING INFORMATION
Converting the read out of the counters into frequency
The counter resolution at the input is defined as:
• resolution = divider ratio of N2/window
For every increment of the counter the counted frequency increases relative to the resolution in Hertz, as shown in
example:
• window = 20 ms; N2 = 128; IF frequency = 10,7 MHz; resolution = 128/0,02 = 6,4 kHz per count
The counter consists of 8 bits. Therefore, the maximum frequency range that can be counted is
256 × resolution = 1,6384 MHz. In the example the frequency to be counted is 10,7 MHz, therefore, the counter will
overflow (in the example above, 7 times). The real measured frequency is:
• f
= (read out + overflow × 256) × resolution
real
The overflow indicates the off-set on the frequency scale which must be added to the read out. Due to the bandwidth of
the IF filter, the frequencies at the input to the TEA6100 are known, for example:
• IF filter for FM has a center frequency of 10,7 MHz and −3 dB bandwidth of 300 kHz. Only the frequencies of 10,7 MHz
± 150 kHz occur at the input of the TEA6100. For this reason it is not necessary to count the overflow.
The read out of the counter has to be translated into frequency. This translation depends upon the counter resolution.
The preferred way to calculate the input frequency is to:
• calculate the read out of the target IF frequency. Compare this value with that of the measured read out and multiply
the difference by the resolution.
The formulae for calculating the target IF read out and the resolution are as follows (A, D, E, F and G refer to the bits of
the I2C bus input data as shown in Fig.3 and 4 and to the counter/timer block diagram shown in Fig.6. An, Dn, En, Fn
and Gn are inverted values of the variables A, D, E, F and G. Table 3 shows the following formulae calculated for a
reference frequency of 40 kHz):
• N1 = (An × 4 + A × 5) × (En × 4 + E × 5) × 8 × (2
• Window (T) = N1/F
• N2 = (E × 16 × 8 + En × [Dn × 1 +D × 16]) × (G × 2 + Gn × 1)
• Target decimal read out (TDEC) = T × (TIFF/N2 + (E × 247 + En × 79). TIFF is the symbol for target IF frequency
• Target read out hexadecimal (THEX), convert the target decimal read out to hexadecimal and use the 2 least
significant digits (Do not use overflow value). The symbol for measured hexadecimal is MHEX
• Resolution (R) = N2/T
• Measured frequency (FI) = (TIFF) + R × (MHEX − THEX).
Note
Care should be taken if TIFF +
or if TIFF −1⁄2 filter bandwith is less than the frequency at read out for hexadecimal value 00.
• Counter accuracy (AW and AN), with bit 7 (G) the accuracy can be chosen with the same resolution. If bit 7 is logic 1
the accuracy is HIGH and if bit 7 is logic 0 then the accuracy is LOW.
bit 7 = 0, AN = ± (N2/T)
bit 7 = 1, AW = ± (1⁄2× N2/T)

Example
The example uses the following values:
TIFF = 10,7 MHz; accuracy = LOW (G = 0); F
resolution = N1 (F = 1) and counter mode = FM (E = 1)
N1 = (0 × 4 + 1 × 5) × (0 × 4 + 1 × 5) × 8 × (2
T = 800/40 = 20 ms
N2 = (1 × 16 × 8 + 0 × [1 × 1 + 0 × 16]) × (0 × 2 + 1 × 1) = 128
TDEC = 20 × 10,7/128 + (1 × 247 + 0 × 79) = 1919
THEX; 1919 is hexadecimal 77F and the least significant 2 digits are 7F, so THEX = 7 F
R = 128/20 = 6400 Hz/count
Assume the readout is '6E', the measured frequency will be:
= 10,7 + (6E − 7F) × 6400 = 10,59 MHz

Assume the readout is '83', the measured frequency will be:

SOLDERING
Introduction
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all IC
packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when
through-hole and surface mounted components are mixed
on one printed-circuit board. However, wave soldering is
not always suitable for surface mounted ICs, or for
printed-circuits with high population densities. In these
situations reflow soldering is often used.
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology.
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in
