Notes
1. The supply currents are specified for the maximum symbol frequency.
2. The implementation loss (IL) of the demodulator is defined as the distance between the measured and theoretical
BER curve as function of signal-to-noise ratio at a BER = 10
This performance depends on the chosen loop parameters (see

Figure 3 shows the application of the TDA8046
multi-mode QAM demodulator. The frequency of the IF
signal (IF
) is down converted to a frequency that
QAM
equals the symbol rate (rs) by a mixer which is driven from
a local oscillator with a frequency of f
CAR=fIF+rs
.
After low pass filtering this baseband signal is applied to an
external 8 or 9-bit ADC.
For 256-QAM, a 9-bit ADC is preferred, for the other
modes an 8-bit ADC is sufficient.
The multi-mode QAM demodulator has digital detectors for
AGC, carrier recovery and clock recovery. The on-chip
DACs translate the detector values to analog control

currents which are then integrated by a loop filter.
To perform this loop filtering, an operational amplifier is
integrated after each DAC.
The carrier recovery consists of a two-loop system.
The outer loop is shown in Fig.3, and controls both phase
and frequency at a low speed. The inner loop controls the
carrier phase at a high speed (wide loop bandwidth).
The AGC also consists of two loops; the outer loop is the
coarse AGC and one inner loop is the fine AGC.
The recovered symbols are converted into bits according
to a demapping scheme and represented at the output in
an 8-bit parallel output format. The QAM demodulator can

7.1Functional description of the individual blocks
The functional block diagram of the multi-mode QAM
demodulator is illustrated in Fig.1. This section describes
the individual blocks in the demodulator. After adaptation
for the used input format (2’s complement or binary), the
input signal is demodulated in the I and Q baseband
signals which are applied to the inputs of the half-Nyquist
filter (equals square root raised cosine). To avoid
overloading of the ADC, an AGC detector is placed after
the adaptation for the input format. The control value for
the clock recovery is generated after half Nyquist filtering.
The echoes created in the cable network are reduced
significantly in the equalizer.
The equalizer produces a ‘clean’ constellation diagram
from which the information for the carrier recovery is
derived. This constellation is also applied to the output
formatter which demaps the transmitted symbols in
corresponding bits. The carrier recovery and lock
detection functions are based on the equalizer output.
The output of the equalizer is applied to an output
formatter, which translates the symbol bits to a FEC input
format. The digital outputs of the clock recovery, AGC, and
carrier recovery section are converted into currents which
are integrated by the loop filters.
To make these loop filters active, operational amplifiers
are integrated on the chip.
The TDA8046 can handle five different digital modulation
schemes; 4, 16, 32, 64 and 256-QAM. These schemes
2
are selectable via the I
7.1.1Q
UADRATURE DEMODULATOR AND HALF NYQUIST
FILTER
C-bus interface.
Quadrature demodulation is accomplished after selection
of the appropriate input format via the I2C-bus.
The in-phase and quadrature components are both
applied to a half Nyquist filter. In default mode, this filter
gives a 20% roll-off half Nyquist shaping. The basic
schematic of the quadrature demodulator followed by the
half Nyquist filter is shown in Fig.4. The signs of the
multiplication factors in the Q-branch can be inverted
(I2C-bus bit INVD).
When using an 8-bit ADC the LSB of the 9-bit input word
should be connected to the positive supply (V
DDD
).
This ensures a symmetrical 2’s complement
representation which can be multiplied by −1 in a correct
(2’s complement) way. The overall transfer function of the
square root raised cosine filters is shown in Figs 5 and 6.
For characteristics see Chapter 10.

7.1.2EQUALIZER
This function is realized with a T spaced 12 or 14 taps
(selected via the I2C-bus) adaptive filter with a feedback
part. The equaliser is based on a Decision Feedback
Equalizer (DFE) structure with Least Mean Square (LMS)
coefficient updating algorithm. No training sequence is
required. The block schematic of the total equalizer is
shown in Fig.8. The main tap of the equalizer is adjustable
for fine AGC function (6 dB AGC range). The settings of
the equalizer taps can be read via the I2C-bus. If the
2
equalizer diverges, an alarm bit is set (I
C-bus bit ALEQ)
and an automatic reset of the taps can be performed
(I2C-bus bit EAR).
To improve acquisition time, the convergence steps of the
FFE/DFE parts of the equalizer are programmable via the
I2C-bus. When the system locks, the steps are
automatically modified for optimum performances.
Besides reading the equalizer tap values, the main tap of
the equalizer can also be programmed. After setting the
main tap, the other coefficients can be set to zero.
The equalizer settings can also be frozen via the I2C-bus.
The equalizer has been proven to work correctly under bad
channel conditions as indicated in Table 1. It is guaranteed
that all loops (including equalizer) converge at a SNR of
21 dB for a 64-QAM modulation format and 27 dB for a
256-QAM modulation format.

7.1.3LOCK DETECTOR
The lock detector indicates whether all algorithms in the
demodulator are converged or not. For a symbol error rate
(at the input of the demodulator) smaller than 2 × 10−2, the
detector will give the indication ‘LOCK’ (I2C-bus bit
LK = 1). For larger symbol error rates, the detector will
generate the ‘UNLOCK’ signal (I2C-bus bit LK = 0).
It should ne noted that this ‘UNLOCK’ signal is generated
before any other part of the demodulator loses lock.
The lock detector is part of the carrier recovery loop, see
Fig.9. The Lock Detector Threshold (LDT) can be changed
2
with the help of the I
C-bus. The estimation algorithm used
in the lock detector also provides information about the
SER ratio which can be read out via the I2C-bus interface.
For characteristics see Chapter 11.
7.1.4C
ARRIER RECOVERY
The carrier recovery detector consists of a
Phase-Frequency Detector (PFD) and Phase Detector
(PD). Depending on the mode of operation, the carrier
recovery is switched either between the phase frequency
(no lock) or the phase detector (lock). The carrier recovery
consists of the following two loops:

output
1. The outer loop; this loop controls the phase and
frequency of the incoming QAM signal at the IF
frequency in such a way that the constellation is
optimally positioned for detection.
2. The inner loop; the bandwidth of this loop can be large
and can therefore reduce the influence of large
bandwidth phase noise.
A fully digital carrier recovery function is also possible and
can be selected via the I
2
C-bus. Should this configuration
be used, then the external components of the loop filter will
not have to be implemented.
Four different maximum DAC output currents can be
selected via the I2C-bus. The output currents of the DAC
are defined in such a way that a VCO with a behaviour as
shown in Fig.9 can be connected directly to the output of
the integrated operational amplifier. Should the VCO slope
be negative then the sign of the current can be inverted by
the I2C-bus. Figure 10 defines the DAC output currents.
For characteristics see Chapter 12.

7.1.5CLOCK RECOVERY
The clock recovery function uses the unequalized I and Q
signals, i.e. the half Nyquist filter outputs (see Fig.4).
The clock recovery section generates a control value each
symbol period. As this algorithm is based on the energy
maximization, both main and mid symbols are required at
the input. Consequently, the input data rate is twice the
symbol rate. The schematic diagram of this detector is
illustrated in Fig.11.
