VDS, either a Dolby® Digital or a Pro Logic® (or Pro Logic II®) decoder is mandatory
respectively.
This chip performs automatic multistandard analog TV stereo sound identification and demodulation (no specific I²C programming is required). It offers various audio processing
functions such as equalization, loudness, beeper, volume, balance, and surround effects. It provides
a cost-effective solution for analog and digital TV designs.
The STV82x7 is perfectly suited to current and future digital TV platforms, based on audio/video
digital chips (STD2000, (DTV100 platform) and the future WorldWide iDTV one chip) which
include an internal digital decoder (MPEG, Dolby® Digital...). In the case where a Dolby® Digital
decoder is embedded in the audio/video digital chip, Virtual Dolby® Digital could be obtained.
For the CTV100/120 platform, the device is offered as an alternative solution to the first-generation
chassis that uses the STV82x6.

1.1.4Electrical Features
Multi Power Supply: 1.8 V, 3.3 V and 8 V.
Power Consumption:
● lower than 1 W in Functional mode (full features)
● 200 mW in Loop-through mode corresponding to Switch-off of all digital blocks
1.2Typical Applications
The STV82x7 is specified to enable flexible, analog and digital TV chassis design (refer to Figure 2,
Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5).
The main considerations are:
● all necessary connections between devices can be provided through the TV set,
● pseudo stand-by mode used to copy to VCR or the DVD sources when the TV set is OFF,
● possible application compatibility with STV82x6 (TQFP80 package) TV design,
● pin-to-pin compatibility with STV82x8 (TQFP80 package) TV design.
The STV82x7 is used to process a single audio source (analog or digital). However, it is possible to
process two audio sources simultaneously using an STV82x7 interconnection (two chips can be
easily connected).
In the case of a single audio source, it is possible to hear and record in the same time: the same
audio stream can be simultaneously output on headphone, loudspeakers, S/PDIF and the SCART
connectors.
Note:Headphone and loudspeakers can be used simultaneously for dual-language purposes or for
different sound settings (e.g. volume). In this case, certain restrictions occur (see Section 4.2: Audio
Processing).
For more connections, the SCART-to-SCART path can be used. The use of these full analog paths
implies that the sound is not digitally processed.
Note : components with * are only mandatory in case of Dolby certification
19/149
System ClockSTV82x7
2System Clock
The System Clock integrates 2 independent frequency synthesizers.
The first frequency synthesizer can be used in one of two modes:
● In Mode 1, it is used by the demodulator, and the frequecy is 49.152 MHz.
● In Mode 2, it is used by the I²S input and is synchronous with the input frequency
or 48 kHz) and the frequency is 49.152 MHz (for f
= 32 or 48 KHz) or 45.1584 MHz (for fS =
S
44.1 KHz).
The second frequency synthesizer is used by the DSP core and can be adjusted between 100 and
150 MHz depending on the application (around 106 MHz at reset value).
The default values are designed for a standard 27-MHz reference frequency provided by a stable
single crystal or an external differential clock signal (for example, from the STV35x0) depending on
the CLK_SEL pin configuration (CLK_SEL = 1 means a single crystal, 0 means an external
differential clock). The 27-MHz value is the recommended frequency for minimizing potential RF
interference in the application. The sinusoidal clock frequency, and any harmonic products, remain
outside the TV picture and sound IFs (PIF/SIF) and Band-I RF.
Note:A change in the reference frequency is compatible with other default I²C programming values,
including those of the built-in Automatic Standard Recognition System.

20/149
STV82x7 Digital Demodulator
3Digital Demodulator
The Digital Demodulator (see Figure 10) is composed of two channels. The first channel
demodulates an FM or an AM signal. The second channel demodulates FM 2-carrier or NICAM
signals (stereo demodulation).
All channel parameters are programmed automatically by the built-in Automatic Standard Recognition System (Autostandard) in order to find the correct sound standard. Channels can also
be programmed manually via the I²C interface for very specific standards not included among the
known standards.
The Analog Sound Carrier IF is connected to the STV82x7 via the SIF pin. Before Analog-to-Digital
Conversion (ADC), an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is performed to adjust the incoming IF signal
to the full scale of the ADC. A preliminary video rejection is recommended to optimize conversion
and demodulation performances. The AGC system provides a gain value allowing for a wide range
of SIF input levels and is activated for all standards, except L/L’. In this particular case, the sound
carrier is AM-modulated and an automatic level adjustment would only damage the transmitted
audio signal. A preset I²C parameter is provided to define the gain of the AGC used in Manual mode
(Registers AGC_CTRL and AGC_GAIN).
Note:For optimum AM demodulation performance, it is recommended to use the MONO Input.
21/149
Digital DemodulatorSTV82x7
3.2Demodulation
The demodulation system operates by default in Automatic mode. In this mode, the STV82x7 is able
to identify anddemodulate any TV sound standard including NICAM and A2 systems (see
Ta bl e 4 ) without any external control via the I²C interface. It consists of the two demodulation
channels (Channel 1 = Mono Left and Channel 2 = Mono Right/Stereo) to simultaneously process
two sound carriers in order to handle all transmission modes (stereo and up to three mono
languages). The built-in Automatic Standard Recognition System (Autostandard) automatically
programs the appropriate bits in the I²C registers which are forced to Read-only mode for users (see
Section 12.1). The programming is optimized for each standard to be identified and demodulated.
Each mono and stereo standard can be removed (or added) from the List of Standards to be
recognized by programming registers AUTOSTD_STANDARD_DETECT and
AUTOSTD_STEREO_DETECT, respectively. The identified standard is displayed in register
AUTOSTD_STATUS and any change to standard is flagged to the host system via pin IRQ. This flag
must be reset by re-programming the MSBs of register AUTOSTD_CTRL while checking the
detected standard status by reading registers AUTOSTD_STATUS, NICAM_STAT and ZWT_STAT.
Moreover, the detection of Stereo mode during demodulation is also flagged in register
AUTOSTD_STATUS.
Important: L/L’ and D/K standards cannot be automatically processed because the same frequency
is used for the MONO carrier. An exclusive L/DK selection must programmed in register
AUTOSTD_CTRL. This may be externally controlled by detecting the RF modulation sign, which is
negative for all TV standards except L/L’.
To recover out-of standard FM deviations or the Sound Carrier Frequency Offset, additional I²C
controls are provided without interfering with the Automatic Standard Recognition System
(Autostandard).
DK-NICAM Overmodulation Recovery: Four different FM deviation ranges can be selected (via
register AUTOSTD_CTRL) for the DK standard while the Autostandard system remains active. The
maximum FM deviation is 500 kHz in DK Mono mode and 350 kHz in DK NICAM mode (limited by
overlapping FM and NICAM spectrum values). The demodulated signal peak level (proportional to
the FM deviation) is detected by the Peak Detector and written to registers PEAK_DET_L and
PEAK_DET_R. This value is used to implement Automatic Overmodulation Detection via an
external I²C control.
Important: Only the selection of the 50 kHz FM deviation standard is compatible with the other DKA2* standards (DK1, DK2 or DK3). These standards must be removed from the list of standards
(registers AUTOSTD_STANDARD_DETECT and AUTOSTD_STEREO_DETECT) when
programming larger FM deviations reserved only for DK-NICAM standards.

For Chinese TV transmissions (DK-NICAM) which are subject to overmodulation, different FM
deviations are proposed for sound demodulation.
Sound Carrier Frequency Offset Recovery: Both Mono and Stereo IF Carrier frequencies can be
adjusted independently (registers CAROFFSET1 and CAROFFSET2) within a large range (up to
120 kHz for standard mono FM deviations) while the Automatic Standard Recognition System
remains active. The frequency offset estimation is written in registers DC_REMOVAL_L and
DC_REMOVAL_R (Mono Left / Channel 1 and Mono Right / Channel 2, respectively) and can be
used to implement the Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) via an external I²C control.
Manual Mode: If required, the Automatic Standard Recognition System system can be disabled
(Manual mode) and the user can control all registers including those only controlled by the
Automatic Standard Recognition System function when active. Manual mode is selected in register
AUTOSTD_STANDARD_DETECT (bit LDK_SCK, I_SCK, BG_SCK and MN_SCK set to 0).

Dedicated Digital Signal Processor (DSP)STV82x7
4Dedicated Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
A dedicated Digital Signal Processor (DSP) takes charge of all audio processing features and the
low frequency signal processing features of the demodulator. The internal 24-bit architecture will
ensure a high quality signal treatment and an excellent dynamic.
4.1Back-end Processing
The “back-end” processing corresponds to the low frequency signal processing (32 kHz or higher
frequencies) of the demodulator and other inputs (I²S, ADC).
Figure 11 shows a flowchart of the back-end processing tasks. However, the figure shows that the
processing is only a SINGLE SOURCE PROCESSING flow (no processing is possible with
“Demod + SCART” and I²S inputs simultaneously) and that the selection of a headphone output
restricts the loudspeakers configuration to 2+1 instead of 5+1.

4.3ST WideSurround
STV82x7 offers three preset ST WideSurround Sound effects on the Loudspeakers path:
● Music, a concert hall effect
● Movie, for films on TV
● Simulated Stereo, which generates a pseudo-stereo effect from mono source
“ST WideSurround Sound” is an extension of the conventional stereo concept which improves the
spatial characteristics of the sound. This could be done simply by adding more speakers and coding
more channels into the source signal as is done in the cinema, but this approach is too costly for
normal home use. The ST WideSurround system exploits a method of phase shifting to achieve a
similar result using only two speakers. It restores spatiality by adding artificial phase differences.
The Surround/Pseudo-stereo mode is automatically selected by the Automatic Standard
Recognition System (Autostandard) depending on the detected stereo or mono source. By default,
“Movie” is selected for Surround mode. This value may be changed to “Music” by the
STSRND_MODE bit in the STSRND_CONTROL register.
Additional user controls are provided to better adapt the spatial effect to the source. The ST
WideSurround Gain (STSRND_LEVEL) and ST WideSurround Frequency (STSRND_FREQ)
registers can be used to enhance Music Predominancy in Music mode and Theater effect and Voice
Predominancy in Movie mode.
4.4ST OmniSurround
STV82x7 offers a spatial virtualizer to output any multi-channel input in stereo on the Loudspeakers
path:
“ST OmniSurround” will recreate a multi-channel spatial sound environment using only the Left and
Right front speakers. It can be adapted to any input configuration (OMNISRND_INPUT_MODE).
ST Voice will allow you to enhance the voice content of your program to increase the intellegibility
and the presence of the sound.
4.5Dolby Pro Logic II Decoder
Dolby® Pro Logic II® is a matrix decoder that decodes the five channels of surround sound that
have been encoded onto the stereo sound tracks of Dolby® Surround program material such as
DVD movies and TV shows.
It is even possible to decode standard stereo signals like music or non encoded movies.
Furthermore, it is an active process designed to enhance sound localization through the use of very
high-separation decoding techniques.
The Dolby® Pro Logic II® decoder is also able to emulate the former Dolby® Pro Logic® decoder
in a specific mode.
4.6Bass Management
This processing will generate the subwoofer signal and adjust all loudspeakers channels gain and
bandwidth.
Speakers capable of reproducing the entire frequency range will be referred to as “full range
speakers”, then signals sent to full range speaker will be full bandwidth (no filtering).
28/149
STV82x7 Dedicated Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
Speakers that have limited bass handling capabilities will be referred to as “satellite speakers”, then
signals sent to satellite speaker will be high-pass filtered to remove bass information below 100 Hz.
In the STV82x7, five output configuration modes have been implemented according to “Dolby
Digital Consumer Decoder” specifications. They are described below.
4.6.1Bass Management Configuration 0
In some cases, the bass management filters are available in the decoder itself, so there is no need
to reproduce these filters. The output configuration shown in Figure 13 offers this possibility.

Configuration 1, shown in Figure 14, assumes that all five speakers are not full range and that all of
the bass information will be redirected to and reproduced by a single subwoofer. This configuration
is intended for use with 5 satellite speakers.
To prevent signal overload, the five main channels are attenuated by 15 dB, while the LFE channel
is attenuated by 5dB to maintain the proper mixing ratio.
