FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Vision IF amplifier
The vision IF amplifier consists of three AC-coupled
differential amplifier stages. Each differential stage
comprises a feedback network controlled by emitter
degeneration to control the IF gain.
VCO, Travelling Wave Divider (TWD) and AFC
The VCO operates with a resonance circuit (with L and C
in parallel) at double the IF frequency plus symbol
frequency. The VCO is controlled by integrated variable
capacitors. The control voltage required to tune the VCO
from its free-running frequency to its actual frequency is
fed to the capacitors. This control voltage is amplified and
converted into a current which represents the AFC output
signal. At centre frequency the AFC output current is equal
to zero.
The oscillator signal is divided-by-two with a TWD which
generates a differential output signal for downconverting
the IF signal.
DVB mixer
The gain controlled DVB-IF signal is downconverted to the
symbol frequency by use of a four quadrant multiplier.
The conversion signal is provided by the VCO and TWD.
DVB AGC and tuner AGC
The AGC detector charges/discharges the AGC capacitor
to the required voltage for setting the IF and tuner gain in
order to keep the DVB signal at a constant level.
A peak detector is used for the DVB AGC. The peak value
of (digital) the QAM signal is detected and controlled to a
constant value by the variable gain IF amplifier.
The detector bandwidth is adapted to the symbol
frequency (3 to 11 MHz). The external AGC time constant
is given by the IF AGC capacitor at pin 18.
The AGC capacitor voltage is transferred to an internal IF
control signal, and is fed to the tuner AGC to generate the
tuner AGC output current (open-collector output).
The tuner AGC takeover point can be adjusted. This
allows the tuner and the SWIF filter to be matched to
achieve the optimum IF input level.
The DVB output signal (V
of ±3 dB by a control voltage (∆V
) can be adjusted in a range
oDVB
) at pin 9. The internal
adj
AGC can be switched off at pin 6 and the IF gain can be
controlled by an external voltage at pin 8. The tuner AGC
is active in both instances.
DVB output amplifier
The output amplifier for the DVB signal has a high
bandwidth and delivers a 2 V (p-p) signal. The amplifier
can be switched to a mute state forced by the signal at
pin 20.
Internal voltage stabilizer
A band gap circuit internally generates a voltage of
approximately 1.25 V, independent of supply voltage and
temperature. A voltage regulator circuit, connected to this
voltage, produces a constant voltage of 3.6 V which is
used as an internal reference voltage.
LIMITING VALUES
In accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 134).
