Theory of Operation
Theory of Operation
This section describes the basic operation of the major circuit blocks or modules
in the RTX100A. The Diagrams section, beginning on page 7-1, includes a block
diagram and an interconnect diagram.
A12 Main Board
The A12 Main board consists of the following blocks:
PCI Interface
Mega FIFO
TS Controller
The PCI interface consists of a PCI target and a PCI master. The PCI target has
three base address register areas. The PCI master has two DMA controllers used
to transfer data from the A12 Main board to the system memory or from the
system memory to the A12 Main board.
The Mega FIFO has 32 MB for playing and 32 MB forrecording a stream data. It
consists of two 256 megabit synchronous DRAM and FPGA. This FIFO is used
to compensate for non-realtime operation of Windows XP.
The TS controller consists of the following blocks:
TS Packet Type Controller. This controller sets a packet size of 188, 204, 208, and
Non TS (free length) as a TS packet type. For a Non TS format, the controller
also sets a packet length (16-255) and data length (16-255). The data length
shows an effective data length in one TS packet.
Data Valid Controller. This block generates a data valid signal that synchronizes
with the first byte of a TS packet when stream output is started.
Psync Controller. Psync is a signal to identify the sync byte in a transport stream.
When the controller is not in the Psync Regeneration mode, Psync is recognized
as the first byte of a transport stream. In this case, Psync is output in the constant
interval even when the sync byte is rewritten in the value except for 47h. For the
Super Frame mode, Psync is output only once in 384 packets.
Psync Regenerator. This block becomes active when the Psync Regeneration
mode is set. The block detects the sync byte (47h) in a data stream and regenerates a Psync signal. The psync generator supports 188, 204, 208 TS packets only.
RTX100A ISDB-T RF Signal Generator Service Manual
2-1
Theory of Operation
PCR/DTS Updater. This block consists of a PCR counter and update logic. The
PCR counter is a complex counter, which consists of a 9-bit counter (range
0-299) and 33-bit counter. The counter counts the 27 MHz standard frequency.
The update logic replaces the PCR and PTS/DTS values in a transport stream
with the sum of the original value and the PCR counter value.
Receive Rate Counter. This 24-bit counter is used for receive-rate calculation on
recording process. When using a data valid signal (DVALID), the counter counts
byte data rate. When not using DVALID, the counter counts receive clock.
Transmit Byte Counter. This 32-bit counter counts transmitted bytes. This counter
can be read by the control software.
Interrupt Controller
TS Clock Generator
Reference Clocks
The interrupt controller sends the following interruption signals to the CPU: Play
FIFO empty, Record FIFO full, external trigger, 10 Hz, Playout DMA transfer
finished, and Record DMA transfer finished. These interruptions can be disabled
by the RTX100A application software. At power on, all interruptions are
disabled.
The TS clock generator consists of a VCO (Voltage Control Oscillator), phase
detector, frequency divider. The VCO is used for generating a TS clock, and it
covers frequencies of 400 MHz to 800 MHz. The frequency divider divides the
clock by 65536 to 1.
The reference clocks consist of 27 MHz TCXO and half-divided output of
54 MHz clock generator. These clocks are used to compare the frequency of the
TS Clock Generator.

A20 PCI Backplane Board
The A20 PCI Backplane board consists of the following connectors and
circuitries:
Theory of Operation
PCI and ISA Connectors
ATX Power Control Circuit
Interconnect Circuit
The J100, J110, and J120 connectors are PCI slots for 5 V. The J130 connector is
a P CI slot for 3.3 V and is reserved in the future. The J100 connector is the
system slot and is used to install the CPU board (single board computer: SBC).
The J110 and J120 connectors are used to install the A12 Main board and the
A150 ISDB-T RF Output board.
The PWR_Button line (Pins 9 and 10 of J310) of the SBC is connected to the
power switch on the A35 Power Switch board through the A30 Front Panel
board. When the power switch is pressed, the SBC causes the PSON# signal to
go low. When the PSON# signal becomes low, Q10 turns on and +12 V main
power is also on. When the power switch is pressed again, its status is sent to
BIOS and the PSON# signal turns high. This circuit includes a +12 V to +5 V
DC-DC converter, a +12 V to +3.3 V converter, and a + 12 V to --12 V converter.
There are four connectors in the interconnect circuit: J230, J240, J290, and J310.
J230 is used to connect the board to the LCD interface on the CPU board. J290
is used to connect the board to COM2 on the CPU board. J310 is used to connect
the board to the hard disk drive LED and reset/power button on the C PU board.
J240 is used to connect the board to the A30 Front Panel board. This circuit also
has an RS-232C level converter.

The A150 ASI ISDB-T RF Output board consists of the following blocks:
Local Bus Interface
ASI RX and ASI Decoder
ASI Encoder and ASI TX
PCI Interface FPGA
Channel Coding FPGA
OFDM Modulation FPGA
The local bus interface communicates with the A12 Main board. There are two
sets of 16-bit signal lines for Rx and Tx: 8-bit data lines for single-end connection, 4-bit control lines for single-end connection, and 4-bit control lines for
differential connection. These lines are connected to the A12 Main board in
one-on-one.
This block changes an ASI signal received from the ASI In connector into
parallel transport stream data.
This block changes parallel transport stream data into an ASI signal and output
the signal.
This block consists of an FPGA of ALTERA. It is the interface for PCI and
interchange of an incoming transport stream signal. It also generates an interrupt
signal when an IIP of a transport stream is decoded and Mode is changed.
This block performs coding of ISDB-T. It has four synchronous SRAMs as
buffers for interleaving.
This block performs OFDM modulation using IFFT.
Digital PLL FPGA
RF Carrier Synthesizer
Quadrature Modulator
2-4
RF DAC
This is a digitally controlled PLL, which synchronizes the reference clock
(VCXO) with an internal reference clock or an external clock. This block has a
feature to pass the U600 output to U1100.
This block converts OFDM modulated data to an analog signal. It has an oversampling circuit and digital filter for reducing spurious events. The block also
has two A/D converters for I and Q signals.
This block generates a carrier signal for the RF output. It directly generates a
career frequency of UHF.
This block performs I/Q modulation to a carrier signal from the A/D converter
output.

and matches the impedance with 75 Ω.
The A30 Front Panel board consists of the front panel processor circuit, LVDS
receiver for FPD (flat panel display) link, video inverter circuit, rubber contact
switches, three connectors, and three LEDs.
The state of the front-panel keys are read by the one chip processor on the board
and any setting changes are reported to the SBC through COM2. The processor
also controls the LED on/off state.
The LVDS receiver converts the four L VDS data streams back into 28 parallel
bits of CMOS/TTL data (24 bits of RGB and 4 bits of Hsync, Vsync, DE, and
CNTL).
The video inverter circuit consists of an FPGA and SRAM. The circuit converts
the display data upside down because the LCD display is attached to the chassis
upside down.
A35 Power Switch Board
The A35 Power Switch board is connected to the A20 PCI Backplane board
through the A30 Front Panel board. There are two USB connectors on the board
that are directly connected to the USB2.0 interface connector on the CPU board.
The board also has the power supply module for the LCD back light.

Inspection and Cleaning
Inspection and Cleaning describes how to inspect for dirt and damage. It also
describes how to clean the exterior and interior of the RTX100A. Inspection and
cleaning are done as preventive maintenance. Preventive maintenance, when
done regularly, may prevent the RTX100A from malfunctioning and enhance its
reliability.
Preventive maintenance consists of visually inspecting and cleaning the
RTX100A and using general care when operating it.
How often preventative maintenance should be performed depends on the
severity of the environment in which the RTX100A is used. A proper time to
perform preventive maintenance is just before the RTX100A adjustment.
Maintenance
General Care
Inspection and Cleaning
Procedures
The cabinet helps keep dust out of the RTX100A, and is needed to meet EMI and
cooling requirements. The cabinet should be in place when operating the
RTX100A. The front cover protects the front panel and display from dust and
damage. Install the front cover when storing or transporting the RTX100A.
Inspect and clean the RTX100A as often as operating conditions require. The
collection of dirt on components inside can cause them to overheat and breakdown. (Dirt acts like an insulating blanket, preventing efficient heat dissipation.)
Dirt also provides an electrical conduction path that could cause an RTX100A
failure, especially under high-humidity conditions.
CAUTION. Avoid the use of chemical cleaning agents that might damage the
plastics used in this RT X100A. Use only deionized water when cleaning the
menu buttons or front-panel buttons. Use an ethyl alcohol solution as a cleaner
and rinse with deionized water.
Inspection — Exterior. Inspect the outside of the RTX100A for damage, wear, and
missing parts, using Table 5-1 as a guide. An RTX100A that appears t o have
been dropped or otherwise abused should be checked thoroughly to verify correct
operation and performance. Immediately repair defects that could cause personal
injury or lead to further damage to the RTX100A.
