P-DIP-24-2
Type Ordering Code Package
TDA 5940-2
Bipolar IC
TDA 5940-2 Q67000-A5144 P-DIP-24-2
Functional Description and Application
Video IF Section
Video IF-broadband amplifier followed by a quasi-synchronous demodulator for negative
modulated IF signals. A Full-SCART interface is included in the video section. A separate video
output after the demodulator permits the installation of one or more sound traps at the input of the
SCART switch. The tuner AGC threshold is set by means of a potentiometer, all other functions can
switched with open collector transistors.
Sound IF Section
FM-IF limiter with FM-PLL demodulator. The AF section has a Full-SCART switch followed by a
volume control. The volume is controlled by an analog voltage.
Application
The TDA 5940-2 is suitable for application in television receivers with Full-SCART.

Circuit Description
Video IF Section
The video IF section incorporates a four-stage, capacitively coupled, symmetrical and controlled
amplifier, a limiter with selection and a mixer for quasi-synchronous demodulation of negative
modulated IF signals followed by a video output amplifier. The video demodulator output and the
SCART-switch input are connected by means of a sound trap. The SCART switch has two inputs
(for signals from video demodulator and SCART socket) and two outputs (SCART socket and TV
output). Parallel to the video output amplifier the video signal is used for generating the AGC
voltage. The control circuit is designed on the integralaction AGC principle, employing a noise-free
peak value detector. A delayed tuner AGC voltage with positive control direction is derived from the
AGC -voltage via a threshold amplifier that is set by means of an external potentiometer.
Sound IF Section
The sound IF section incorporates a five-stage, symmetrical limiter amplifier followed by a PLL
demodulator. The AF section contains an analog switch for the Full-SCART interface and a volume
control with AF output.
