GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SAA7283 is a NICAM receiver solution, developing
the well established high quality Terrestrial Digital Sound
decoder family from Philips Semiconductors.
This innovative IC with analog front-end, offers more
impressive features and flexibility with minimum external
circuitry.
C-bus (up to 400 kHz
SAA7283
The SAA7283 takes, as input, a second IF (intercarrier)
Terrestrial TV PAL signal, and performs all the Differential
Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK) demodulation,
digital decoding and digital-to-analog conversion
necessary to produce a complete NICAM receiver on a
single integrated circuit.
The demodulator function includes integrated baseband
filters for pulse shaping and unwanted signal rejection,
automatic gain control, a low jitter integrated VCO, digital
monostable for precise data sampling points and a
multi-standard controller to enable automatic locking to
either a PAL system I or PAL system BGH input signal
(including French NICAM L system).
The decoder function performs the descrambling,
de-interleaving and reformatting operations required to
recover the original data words.
The data words are processed through a stereo digital
filter, digital de-emphasis network, second order noise
shaper and 256 times oversampling Bitstream audio DAC.
The SAA7283 then provides a switching output buffer for
selecting between FM, NICAM and daisy-chain inputs, and
a programmable level attenuation matrix for matching
levels of the FM and NICAM audio sources at the output of
the device. An additional feature is the inclusion of a Digital
Audio Interface (DAI) output IEC 958, which may be
disabled if required.

The DQPSK signal is fed into two differential input mixers,
where it is mixed with quadrature phases generated by the
carrier-loop quadrature VCO. The quadrature signals
modulated onto the NICAM carrier are thus recovered.
The mixers can be driven by either a single-ended or
differential source. In single-ended mode, the device is
driven directly from the sound IF down-converter into the
DQPSK input pin, with the MIXREF pin decoupled.
In differential mode, the signal is applied between the
DQPSK and MIXREF pins.
The outputs from the mixers are then fed into a
pulse-shaping filter, and FM/vision filter stage which filters
out all interference components, including AM carrier for
French NICAM L system. The signal from the filtering
stages is then fed into the AGC, which ensures that the
phase comparator gain remains constant, irrespective of
the input signal level. This is important to maintain the
stability of Costas loop PLL.
CONTROLLER
AGC
The AGC controller monitors the I and Q channel signals
at the input to the carrier loop-phase comparator and
generates a reference voltage to set the AGC output level.
E
YE BUFFER
A differential to the single-ended converter provides the
baseband signal as an output at the pins CEYE and SEYE
for the I and Q channels respectively for eye-height
monitoring.
IT RATE CLOCK RECOVERY
B
The I and Q channels are processed using edge detectors
and monostables, which generate a signal with a coherent
component at the data symbol rate. The outputs from the
I and Q channel monostables are each compared with the
clock derived from PCLK (364 kHz nominal), the resultant
output is used to derive a 3-state control signal used to
control two current sources at the CLKLPF output.
This error signal is loop filtered and used to control the
master clock oscillator. The bit rate clock, PCLK, and
symbol clock are derived from the master clock.
NICAM 728 decoding
D
ECODING FUNCTIONS
The device performs all decoding functions in accordance
with the EBU NICAM 728 specification. After locking to the
frame alignment word, the data is de-scrambled by
application of the defined pseudo random binary
sequence, and the device synchronizes to the periodic
frame flag bit C0.
The relevant control information and scale factor word is
extracted, and with the integrated RAM the data is
de-interleaved and the scale factor word is extracted, and
expanded to 14 bits. Parity checking on the eleventh bit of
each sample word is carried out to reveal any sound
sample errors, which if detected are flagged, with the last
good sample being held.
Automatic muting
Enable when AMDIS = LOW. The I
2
C-bus section has two
registers which define an upper and lower limit for the
automatic muting function. When the number of errors
within a 128 ms period exceeds the number stored in the
upper error limit register, then the automatic muting will
switch the device output to the FM input, (dependent on
the relevant control bits in the I2C-bus) and mute
(set to zero) the data input to the filter (in that order).
When the error count in a 128 ms period is less than the
value stored in the lower error limit register then the data
into the filter is uninterrupted, and the device output is
switched back to the DAC (dependent on the value of the
relevant control bits in the I2C-bus). During the muting
operation the open-drain pin MUTE is pulled LOW and the
AM bit in the status-byte is set HIGH. Figure 4 shows the
dependency of the automatic muting function on
error_count, RSSF, C4OV, output state and application
mode. The automatic muting function, if enabled, will
override user mute via the MUTE pin/bit.
When the transmission is DATA format or currently
undefined format (C3 = logic 1) the device will
automatically switch to the FM inputs regardless of
RSSF/C4OV states, and whether the automatic muting
function AMDIS is enabled or disabled.

User mute
The error counter is an 8-bit counter which locks at
count 255. The counter is reset and its output sent to the
I2C-bus every 128 ms. This enables the user to interrogate
the number of errors occurring within a 128 ms period.
The user can then mute the device by pulling pin MUTE
LOW (this function is also provided by the MUTE bit in the
I2C-bus) or setting SILENCE bit LOW in I2C-bus to switch
input of audio switching buffers to analog ground.
Switching buffers
The analog switches select between the output of the
DACs, the FM input and an external input (EXT).
Switching is controlled by bits in the I
2
C-bus and internal
switching function. The external analog inputs should be
≤1.1 V (RMS) at the input pin, and the output buffers have
a voltage drive of 1 V (RMS).
NICAM/FM audio level matching
Differing audio headroom and alignment levels occur
between systems I and BGH, due to the differing systems
and broadcast standards. In order to match the NICAM
and FM audio output levels without requiring application
changes, the device will automatically switch in 4.6 dB
attenuation network in the NICAM path for system BGH
(this can be disabled by setting the NICLEV bit LOW in
2
C-bus). A programmable attenuation network in the FM
I
path only, controlled by bits in I2C-bus, provides additional
flexibility for user to match FM and NICAM audio levels
(see Table 9).
Power-on reset state
Two pins control the initial set-up of the device during
power-on reset.
PORA (Power-On Reset Audio)
When pulled LOW the device will be configured with a
12 dB gain in the oversampling filter and the
C4OV bit in
the I2C-bus will be set HIGH. This pin when HIGH will
configure the device with a 6 dB gain in the
oversampling filter and will set C4OV bit in the I2C-bus
LOW.
PORM (Power-On Reset Mute)
This pin when LOW will mute the output of the device at
power-on by setting the SILENCE bit in the I2C-bus
LOW. To put the device back into a normal mode of
operation the SILENCE bit in the I2C-bus must be set
HIGH.
