Circuit Description
The bipolar circuit TDA4483 enables high quality sound
IF processing for multistandard applications in TV-sets
and VCR. This circuit has separate inputs for the soundand picture carrier. The sound carrier signal (single or
dual carrier, modulated with AM, FM or NICAM) from
the SAW filter will be fed into a 3-stage, gain controlled,
IF amplifier (Pin 1 and 2).
The following two mixer stages operate using different
standards. In the case of AM, the first mixer works as a
quasi-synchronous detector providing the audio
frequency at Pin 12. Furthermore, the first mixer supplies
a regulation voltage to control the gain of the 3-stage IF
amplifier (AGC).
The second mixer stage works as a intercarrier mixer in
FM/NICAM mode and supplies the intercarrier signal at
Pin 8 (difference signal between picture and sound
carrier) independent of the picture carrier to sound carrier
ratio. In standard B/G the 5.5/5.74 MHz subcarrier is
6
7
available at Pin 8. The required picture carrier for the
intercarrier mixer will be coupled out from the tuned
demodulator circuit of the vision-IF IC (e.g. TDA4453 or
equivalent components). The selective and prelimited
picture carrier has to be applied symmetrically to the
picture carrier input (Pin 5 and Pin 6). An additional
limiting amplifier delivers the regenerated picture carrier
to the intercarrier mixer.
Possible modes of operation (FM/NICAM or AM) are
determined by the voltage level that is applied to Pin 10
(standard switch). Without external control voltage at
Pin 10, the FM/NICAM operation is automatically
selected. In the case of AM, the intercarrier output Pin 8
is switched off, however DC output voltage remains. In
corresponding with FM/NICAM operation, the AF output
Pin 12 is switched off.
