GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8722 is a programmable modulator which
generates an RF TV channel from a baseband video
signal and a baseband audio signal in the event of
negative video and FM sound standards (PAL B/G, I, D/K
and NTSC).
It is especially suited for satellite receivers, video
recorders and cable converters. The video carrier
frequency is set exactly to the correct channel frequency
by a PLL synthesizer which is programmed in accordance
with the I

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8722 is a programmable modulator which can be
divided into two main blocks:
• A modulator for negative video modulation and
FM sound TV standards
• A programmable PLL frequency synthesizer.
The video part of the modulator consists of a clamping
circuit which sets the internal reference voltage to the
bottom of the synchronizing pulse, followed by a white clip
which avoids over modulation in case the video signal is
too strong. Typically, the IC starts to clip the video signal
when the voltage at the video input (pin 19) is
>560 mV (p-p) while the normal voltage at the video input
is 500 mV (p-p). This clipping function ensures that the
video modulation depth is not too high. The modulation
depth is adjusted in the application between at least
65 and 90% by changing the resistor value between pin 17
and ground (R17). The value can change between 47 kΩ
and infinite (R17 removed); see Fig.10.
1995 Mar 215
The video part also contains a test pattern signal generator
to simplify the adjustment of the receiving channel of the
TV set to the required channel of the modulator. The
pattern consists of a synchronization pulse and two
vertical white bars on screen (see Fig.3).
The audio part of the modulator contains an FM sound
modulator. The frequency of the sound subcarrier is set in
the application by external components (C3, L3 and R3).
The difference between the video carrier level and the
sound subcarrier level is adjusted in the application by
changing the value of the capacitor between pin 17 and
ground (C17). The value can change between
0 and 47 pF. The distance between the video carrier and
the sound subcarrier can be adjusted between at least
−10 and −18 dB (see Fig.11).
To bias the audio input it is necessary to put a resistor in
the application between pin 1 and ground. The resistor has
a typical value of 12 kΩ.

The RF part of the oscillator consists of:
• An oscillator which operates at the required video carrier
frequency. The range of the oscillator is determined in
the application by C5, C6, L5 and D5.
• An RF mixer. It first combines the video signal and the
sound subcarrier to build a baseband TV channel. Then
the baseband signal is mixed with the oscillator signal to
get the RF TV channel. The mixer has two outputs
which can be used as two independent asymmetrical
outputs, or as one symmetrical output. In the event of
asymmetrical use, the unused output must be loaded
with a 75 Ω resistor (see Fig.7).
The oscillator frequency is set by a programmable PLL
frequency synthesizer in accordance with equation:
f
=8×N×f
osc
Where:
f
is the local oscillator frequency.
osc
N is a 12-bit dividing number (10 bits are programmable
by the I2C-bus).
f
is the crystal frequency (4 MHz) divided by 128
ref
(31.25 kHz).

TDA8722
The circuit allows a step of 250 kHz but because only
10 bits are programmable, the programming steps are
1 MHz.
When the PLL loop is locked, both inputs of the phase
comparator are equal, which gives equation:

Software information
The synthesizer is controlled via a two-wire I
receiver. For programming, the address byte (C8 HEX)
has to be sent first. Then one or two data bytes are used
to set the 10 programmable bits of the dividing number N,
the test bits (see Table 1) and the output Port state. Note
that after power-up of the IC, the two data bytes must be
sent.

It is possible to change only one data byte. The circuit will recognize which one is received with the value of MSB
(0 for data byte 1 and 1 for data byte 2). It is possible to change the frequency by 1 MHz with data byte 2. It is easy to
increment the channel frequency when its frequency width is 8 MHz by simply incrementing data byte 1.
The bits T0 to T2 are available for test purposes and the possibilities are shown in Table 5.
1. In ‘TPSG on’ mode the video carrier is modulated by the test signal consisting of a synchronization pulse and two
vertical white bars on a black screen. This mode should be selected to adjust the TV set receiving the modulated
signal to the right frequency.
2. In ‘RF oscillator off’ mode, the RF oscillator and the RF mixer are switched-off and there is no RF carrier coming out
of the device. This mode can be selected to avoid RF radiation to other parts when the modulator output is not used.
3. In ‘balance test’, the video carrier is over modulated. This simplifies residual carrier measurements.

5. The ‘high-impedance test’ mode may be used to inject an external tuning voltage to the RF tank circuit, to test the
oscillator. In this mode, the phase detector is disabled and the external transistor of the tuning amplifier is
switched-off. The AMP output (pin 7) is LOW (<200 mV).
6. In the ‘phase detector disabled’ mode, it is possible to measure the leakage current at the input of the tuning amplifier,
on the CP pin. In this mode the RF oscillator is off, and the baseband TV channel signal is present on the RF outputs
for testing the audio and video parts.
