CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Multidyne DVM1000 is a highly l inear low noise, low distortion fiber optic l ink.
The circuitry in the transmitter processes and digi tizes 3 analogue and 3 digital signals and,
through high speed time division multiplexing, serializes them into a single, self clocking bit
stream that modulates the output of an LED or a laser. At the receiving end a high speed
demultiplexer extracts the imbedded clock and then the data in a parallel format to be presented
to seven digital to anal ogue converter that reconstruct the 3 analogue signals.
Instruction Manual, DVM1000 FEATURES and OPERATION
DVM-1000-FTX TRANSMITTER DESCRIPTION
U22 is an AD8052 dual wide band operational amplifier. The first half is the input video
buffer. It interfaces video to the anti-aliasing low pass filter after some processing. Diodes D10 to
D13 suppress transients that could be harmful to the buffer. R60 adjusts the common mode
rejection of the buffer. Capacitors C89 to C92 together with resistors R65 to R68 form a 4 pole
variable cable equal izer that restores the phase and amplitudes of certain video frequency
components. LPF1 is an elliptical 11 pole low pass filter. It attenuates out of band signals that
would produce aliasing products at the output of U23, the video analogue to digital converter.
The second half of U22 is the video post amplifier that overcomes the filter losses and, through
the adjustment of C68 trims the high frequency response of the input video channel. R48 is
adjusted to 1VPP terminated in 75ω. Q1 is the video sync separator. Composite sync is present
at Q1’s collector. Q2 is a “box car” pulse former that generates a positive going pulse beginning
with the second edge of horizontal sync and ending approximately with the end of color burst.
The positive pulse i s AC coupled to the gate of Q3 a junction NFET that abruptly conducts during
burst time and dumps the average DC value plus any low frequency component into C57. U29, a
very high gain amplifier, applies the DC error in phase opposition to the input buffer thus
canceling its effects and clamping the video’s back porch to the level set by R7. U20 is a high
precision push-pull video driver. The analogue to digi tal converter wants to see video 4 volts (2
volts on each side) of push pull video centered on its +2V reference, U20 does just that. The
video channel is adjusted using full level modulated stair step as follows. Adjust the video front
panel controls for a well-equalized 1VPP at J9 then while monitoring video at the receiver’s
output adjust R70 for maximum gain and R7 to center the DC bias for not clipping of the chroma
or sync. It is very helpful to monitor U23 pin 14 for no pulses during this adjustment. U23 makes
a 12 bit measurement of the video at every tick of the clock supplied by a monolithic crystal
oscillator Y1. U24 is the high-speed monolithic serializer. It accepts 16 bits plus system clock
and serializes them into a single differential PECL bit stream that drives the laser or LED
module.
The audio section interfaces a well balanced audio signal to the audio analogue to digital
converters. U1, U5 and U9 are dual audio buffers. They convert balanced audio to single ended.
U2, U3, U6, U7, U10 and U11 convert single ended audio to accurately balanced audio ready to
be digitized by U4, U8 and U12 stereo analogue to di gital converters. U4 is the master that
supplies drive signals to U8 and U11. LEDs 1, 2 and 3 indicate overflow. U18 strobes the
registers where this overflow signals are being stored. They glow when the input audio goes over
+19bB. All measurements are performed at input level of +18dBm. U15 is a quadruple digital
multiplexer. It inserts external asynchronous data into the digital audio user bit location.
Normally only 2 channels are used for external data while the third one carries video presence
indication from the transmitter to the receiver. Alarms are provided at the transmitter end for
laser failure and for vi deo loss. At the receiver end there are alarms for remote video loss and
loss of optical input. The optical failure al arms on both sides are dry relay contacts grounding the
external connection, the video loss failure are on both sides open collectors sinking 40mA
positive DC to ground. U20 is an automatic reset generator.

DVM-1000-FRX RECEIVER SECTION
The data modulated light beam is transformed into a balanced PECL bit stream and
presented to U15, a monolithic high-speed deseriali zer. T he internal state machine of U1 driven
asynchronously by Y1 a monolithic crystal oscillator, recombines the data into a 16 bit parallel bit
stream. Internal phase lock loops regenerate the sending end sampling clock with an edge
stability of a few pico-seconds. The first 12 bits of the reconstituted data are presented to U16,
the video analogue to digi tal converter that reconstitutes the original video signal. R16, a front
panel control varies the converter’s DC reference thus adjusting the output gain. LPF1 is the
reconstitution low pass filter that removes the clock components from the video. U17 provides
gain and flatness adjustments while interfaci ng the video to the outside world. The audio portion
transforms the three audio bit stream again into audio. The associated operational amplifiers are
2 pole low pass filters and output drivers. U1 edge detects the audio channel pulse and triggers
monostable multivibrator U3 that produces a strobe pulse occurring at the center of the digital
audio’s user bit location. T he positive edge of U3’s output strobes that location recovering
external data and remote video presence indication. The whole audio system calibration reli es
just on 6, one per channel, output gains.
