Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and information about some of the electronic, electrical and electrotechnical Obsolete technology relics that the Frank Sharp Private museum has accumulated over the years .
Premise: There are lots of vintage electrical and electronic items that have not survived well or even completely disappeared and forgotten.

Or are not being collected nowadays in proportion to their significance or prevalence in their heyday, this is bad and the main part of the death land. The heavy, ugly sarcophagus; models with few endearing qualities, devices that have some over-riding disadvantage to ownership such as heavy weight,toxicity or inflated value when dismantled, tend to be under-represented by all but the most comprehensive collections and museums. They get relegated to the bottom of the wants list, derided as 'more trouble than they are worth', or just forgotten entirely. As a result, I started to notice gaps in the current representation of the history of electronic and electrical technology to the interested member of the public.

Following this idea around a bit, convinced me that a collection of the peculiar alone could not hope to survive on its own merits, but a museum that gave equal display space to the popular and the unpopular, would bring things to the attention of the average person that he has previously passed by or been shielded from. It's a matter of culture. From this, the Obsolete Technology Tellye Web Museum concept developed and all my other things too. It's an open platform for all electrical Electronic TV technology to have its few, but NOT last, moments of fame in a working, hand-on environment. We'll never own Colossus or Faraday's first transformer, but I can show things that you can't see at the Science Museum, and let you play with things that the Smithsonian can't allow people to touch, because my remit is different.

There was a society once that was the polar opposite of our disposable, junk society. A whole nation was built on the idea of placing quality before quantity in all things. The goal was not “more and newer,” but “better and higher" .This attitude was reflected not only in the manufacturing of material goods, but also in the realms of art and architecture, as well as in the social fabric of everyday life. The goal was for each new cohort of children to stand on a higher level than the preceding cohort: they were to be healthier, stronger, more intelligent, and more vibrant in every way.

The society that prioritized human, social and material quality is a Winner. Truly, it is the high point of all Western civilization. Consequently, its defeat meant the defeat of civilization itself.

Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

OLD, but ORIGINAL, Well made, Funny, Not remotely controlled............. and not Made in CHINA.

MIVAR 25S5 CHASSIS 1086 STEREO INTERNAL VIEW.












 

 

MIVAR 25S5 CHASSIS 1086 STEREO  PHILIPS TDA8843 I2C-bus controlled PAL/NTSC/SECAM TV processor: 

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The various versions of the PHILIPS TDA 884X/5X series are

I2C-bus controlled single chip TV processors which are
intended to be applied in PAL, NTSC, PAL/NTSC and
multi-standard television receivers. The N2 version is pin
and application compatible with the N1 version, however,
a new feature has been added which makes the N2 more
attractive. The IF PLL demodulator has been replaced by
an alignment-free IF PLL demodulator with internal VCO
(no tuned circuit required). The setting of the various
frequencies (33.4, 33.9, 38, 38.9, 45,75 and 58.75 MHz)
can be made via the I2C-bus.
Because of this difference the N2 version is compatible
with the N1, however, N1 devices cannot be used in an
optimised N2 application.
Functionally the IC series is split up is 3 categories, viz:
· Versions intended to be used in economy TV receivers
with all basic functions (envelope: S-DIP 56 and QFP
64)
· Versions with additional features like E-W geometry
control, H-V zoom function and YUV interface which are
intended for TV receivers with 110° picture tubes
(envelope: S-DIP 56)
· Versions which have in addition a second RGB input
with saturation control and a second CVBS output
(envelope: QFP 64)

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Vision IF amplifier
The IF-amplifier contains 3 ac-coupled control stages with
a total gain control range which is higher then 66 dB. The
sensitivity of the circuit is comparable with that of modern
IF-IC’s.
The video signal is demodulated by means of an
alignment-free PLL carrier regenerator with an internal
VCO. This VCO is calibrated by means of a digital control
circuit which uses the X-tal frequency of the colour
decoder as a reference. The frequency setting for the
various standards (33.4, 33.9, 38, 38.9, 45.75 and 58.75
MHz) is realised via the I2C-bus. To get a good
performance for phase modulated carrier signals the
control speed of the PLL can be increased by means of the
FFI bit.
The AFC output is generated by the digital control circuit of
the IF-PLL demodulator and can be read via the I2C-bus.
For fast search tuning systems the window of the AFC can
be increased with a factor 3. The setting is realised with the
AFW bit. The AFC data is valid only when the horizontal
PLL is in lock (SL = 1)
Depending on the type the AGC-detector operates on
top-sync level (single standard versions) or on top sync
and top white- level (multi standard versions). The
demodulation polarity is switched via the I2C-bus. The
AGC detector time-constant capacitor is connected
externally. This mainly because of the flexibility of the
application. The time-constant of the AGC system during
positive modulation is rather long to avoid visible variations
of the signal amplitude. To improve the speed of the AGC
system a circuit has been included which detects whether
the AGC detector is activated every frame period. When
during 3 field periods no action is detected the speed of the
system is increased. For signals without peak white
information the system switches automatically to a gated
black level AGC. Because a black level clamp pulse is
required for this way of operation the circuit will only switch
to black level AGC in the internal mode.
The circuits contain a video identification circuit which is
independent of the synchronisation circuit. Therefore
search tuning is possible when the display section of the
receiver is used as a monitor. However, this ident circuit
cannot be made as sensitive as the slower sync ident
circuit (SL) and we recommend to use both ident outputs
to obtain a reliable search system. The ident output is
supplied to the tuning system via the I2C-bus.
The input of the identification circuit is connected to pin 13
(S-DIP 56 devices), the “internal” CVBS input (see Fig.6).
This has the advantage that the ident circuit can also be
made operative when a scrambled signal is received
(descrambler connected between pin 6 (IF video output)
and pin 13). A second advantage is that the ident circuit
can be used when the IF amplifier is not used (e.g. with
built-in satellite tuners).
The video ident circuit can also be used to identify the
selected CBVS or Y/C signal. The switching between the
2 modes can be realised with the VIM bit.

Video switches
The circuits have two CVBS inputs (internal and external
CVBS) and a Y/C input. When the Y/C input is not required
the Y input can be used as third CVBS input. The switch
configuration is given in Fig.6. The selection of the various
sources is made via the I2C-bus.
For the TDA 884X devices the video switch configuration
is identical to the switch of the TDA8374/75 series. So the
circuit has one CVBS output (amplitude of 2 VP-P for the
TDA 884X series) and the I2C-bus control is similar to that
of the TDA 8374/75. For the TDA 885X IC’s the video
switch circuit has a second output (amplitude of 1 VP-P)
which can be set independently of the position of the first
output. The input signal for the decoder is also available on
the CVBS1-output.
Therefore this signal can be used to drive the Teletext
decoder. If S-VHS is selected for one of the outputs the
luminance and chrominance signals are added so that a
CVBS signal is obtained again.
Sound circuit
The sound bandpass and trap filters have to be connected
externally. The filtered intercarrier signal is fed to a limiter
circuit and is demodulated by means of a PLL
demodulator. This PLL circuit tunes itself automatically to
the incoming carrier signal so that no adjustment is
required.
The volume is controlled via the I2C-bus. The deemphasis
capacitor has to be connected externally. The
non-controlled audio signal can be obtained from this pin
(via a buffer stage).
The FM demodulator can be muted via the I2C-bus. This
function can be used to switch-off the sound during a
channel change so that high output peaks are prevented.
The TDA 8840/41/42/46 contain an Automatic Volume
Levelling (AVL) circuit which automatically stabilises the
audio output signal to a certain level which can be set by
the viewer by means of the volume control. This function
prevents big audio output fluctuations due to variations of
the modulation depth of the transmitter. The AVL function
can be activated via the I2C-bus.
Synchronisation circuit
The sync separator is preceded by a controlled amplifier
which adjusts the sync pulse amplitude to a fixed level.
These pulses are fed to the slicing stage which is operating
at 50% of the amplitude. The separated sync pulses are
fed to the first phase detector and to the coincidence
detector. This coincidence detector is used to detect
whether the line oscillator is synchronised and can also be
used for transmitter identification. This circuit can be made
less sensitive by means of the STM bit. This mode can be
used during search tuning to avoid that the tuning system
will stop at very weak input signals. The first PLL has a
very high statical steepness so that the phase of the
picture is independent of the line frequency.
The horizontal output signal is generated by means of an
oscillator which is running at twice the line frequency. Its
frequency is divided by 2 to lock the first control loop to the
incoming signal. The time-constant of the loop can be
forced by the I2C-bus (fast or slow). If required the IC can
select the time-constant depending on the noise content of
the incoming video signal.
The free-running frequency of the oscillator is determined
by a digital control circuit which is locked to the reference
signal of the colour decoder. When the IC is switched-on
the horizontal output signal is suppressed and the
oscillator is calibrated as soon as all sub-address bytes
have been sent. When the frequency of the oscillator is
correct the horizontal drive signal is switched-on. To obtain
a smooth switching-on and switching-off behaviour of the
horizontal output stage the horizontal output frequency is
doubled during switch-on and switch-off (slow start/stop).
During that time the duty cycle of the output pulse has such
a value that maximum safety is obtained for the output
stage.
To protect the horizontal output transistor the horizontal
drive is immediately switched off when a power-on-reset is
detected. The drive signal is switched-on again when the
normal switch-on procedure is followed, i.e. all
sub-address bytes must be sent and after calibration the
horizontal drive signal will be released again via the slow
start procedure. When the coincidence detector indicates
an out-of-lock situation the calibration procedure is
repeated. The circuit has a second control loop to generate
the drive pulses for the horizontal driver stage. The
horizontal output is gated with the flyback pulse so that the
horizontal output transistor cannot be switched-on during
the flyback time.
Via the I2C-bus adjustments can be made of the horizontal
and vertical geometry. The vertical sawtooth generator
drives the vertical output drive circuit which has a
differential output current. For the E-W drive a single
ended current output is available. A special feature is the
zoom function for both the horizontal and vertical
deflection and the vertical scroll function which are
available in some versions. When the horizontal scan is
reduced to display 4:3 pictures on a 16:9 picture tube an
accurate video blanking can be switched on to obtain well
defined edges on the screen.

Overvoltage conditions (X-ray protection) can be detected
via the EHT tracking pin. When an overvoltage condition is
detected the horizontal output drive signal will be
switched-off via the slow stop procedure but it is also
possible that the drive is not switched-off and that just a
protection indication is given in the I2C-bus output byte.
The choice is made via the input bit PRD. The IC’s have a
second protection input on the j2 filter capacitor pin. When
this input is activated the drive signal is switched-off
immediately and switched-on again via the slow start
procedure. For this reason this protection input can be

used as “flash protection”.
The drive pulses for the vertical sawtooth generator are
obtained from a vertical countdown circuit. This countdown
circuit has various windows depending on the incoming
signal (50 Hz or 60 Hz and standard or non standard). The
countdown circuit can be forced in various modes by
means of the I2C-bus. During the insertion of RGB signals
the maximum vertical frequency is increased to 72 Hz so
that the circuit can also synchronise on signals with a
higher vertical frequency like VGA. To obtain short
switching times of the countdown circuit during a channel
change the divider can be forced in the search window by
means of the NCIN bit. The vertical deflection can be set
in the de-interlace mode via the I2C bus.
To avoid damage of the picture tube when the vertical
deflection fails the guard output current of the TDA
8350/51 can be supplied to the beam current limiting input.
When a failure is detected the RGB-outputs are blanked
and a bit is set (NDF) in the status byte of the I2C-bus.
When no vertical deflection output stage is connected this
guard circuit will also blank the output signals. This can be
overruled by means of the EVG bit.
Chroma and luminance processing
The circuits contain a chroma bandpass and trap circuit.
The filters are realised by means of gyrator circuits and
they are automatically calibrated by comparing the tuning
frequency with the X-tal frequency of the decoder. The
luminance delay line and the delay for the peaking circuit
are also realised by means of gyrator circuits. The centre
frequency of the chroma bandpass filter is switchable via
the I2C-bus so that the performance can be optimised for
“front-end” signals and external CVBS signals. During
SECAM reception the centre frequency of the chroma trap
is reduced to get a better suppression of the SECAM
carrier frequencies. All IC’s have a black stretcher circuit
which corrects the black level for incoming video signals
which have a deviation between the black level and the
blanking level (back porch). The timeconstant for the black
stretcher is realised internally.
The resolution of the peaking control DAC has been
increased to 6 bits. All IC’s have a defeatable coring
function in the peaking circuit. Some of these IC’s have a
YUV interface (see table on page 2) so that picture
improvement IC’s like the TDA 9170 (Contrast
improvement), TDA 9177 (Sharpness improvement) and
TDA 4556/66 (CTI) can be applied. When the CTI IC’s are
applied it is possible to increase the gain of the luminance
channel by means of the GAI bit in subaddress 03 so that
the resulting RGB output signals are not affected.
Colour decoder
Depending on the IC type the colour decoder can decode
PAL, PAL/NTSC or PAL/NTSC/SECAM signals. The
PAL/NTSC decoder contains an alignment-free X-tal
oscillator, a killer circuit and two colour difference
demodulators. The 90° phase shift for the reference signal
is made internally.
The IC’s contain an Automatic Colour Limiting (ACL)
circuit which is switchable via the I2C-bus and which
prevents that oversaturation occurs when signals with a
high chroma-to-burst ratio are received. The ACL circuit is
designed such that it only reduces the chroma signal and
not the burst signal. This has the advantage that the colour
sensitivity is not affected by this function.
The SECAM decoder contains an auto-calibrating PLL
demodulator which has two references, viz: the 4.4 MHz
sub-carrier frequency which is obtained from the X-tal
oscillator which is used to tune the PLL to the desired
free-running frequency and the bandgap reference to
obtain the correct absolute value of the output signal. The
VCO of the PLL is calibrated during each vertical blanking
period, when the IC is in search or SECAM mode.
The frequency of the active X-tal is fed to the Fsc output
(pin 33) and can be used to tune an external comb filter
(e.g. the SAA 4961).
The base-band delay line (TDA 4665 function) is
integrated in the PAL/SECAM IC’s and in the NTSC IC
TDA 8846A. In the latter IC it improves the cross colour
performance (chroma comb filter). The demodulated
colour difference signals are internally supplied to the
delay line. The colour difference matrix switches
automatically between PAL/SECAM and NTSC, however,
it is also possible to fix the matrix in the PAL standard.
The “blue stretch” circuit is intended to shift colour near
“white” with sufficient contrast values towards more blue to
obtain a brighter impression of the picture.

Which colour standard the IC’s can decode depends on
the external X-tals. The X-tal to be connected to pin 34
must have a frequency of 3.5 MHz (NTSC-M, PAL-M or
PAL-N) and pin 35 can handle X-tals with a frequency of
4.4 and 3.5 MHz. Because the X-tal frequency is used to
tune the line oscillator the value of the X-tal frequency
must be given to the IC via the I2C-bus. It is also possible
to use the IC in the so called “Tri-norma” mode for South
America. In that case one X-tal must be connected to pin
34 and the other 2 to pin 35. The switching between the 2
latter X-tals must be done externally. This has the
consequence that the search loop of the decoder must be
controlled by the m-computer. To prevent calibration
problems of the horizontal oscillator the external switching
between the 2 X-tals should be carried out when the
oscillator is forced to pin 34. For a reliable calibration of the
horizontal oscillator it is very important that the X-tal
indication bits (XA and XB) are not corrupted. For this
reason the X-tal bits can be read in the output bytes so that
the software can check the I2C-bus transmission.

RGB output circuit and black-current stabilisation
The colour-difference signals are matrixed with the
luminance signal to obtain the RGB-signals. The TDA
884X devices have one (linear) RGB input. This RGB
signal can be controlled on contrast and brightness (like
TDA 8374/75). By means of the IE1 bit the insertion
blanking can be switched on or off. Via the IN1 bit it can be
read whether the insertion pin has a high level or not.
The TDA 885X IC’s have an additional RGB input. This
RGB signal can be controlled on contrast, saturation and
brightness. The insertion blanking of this input can be
switched-off by means of the IE2 bit. Via the IN2 bit it can
be read whether the insertion pin has a high level or not.
The output signal has an amplitude of about 2 volts
black-to-white at nominal input signals and nominal
settings of the controls. To increase the flexibility of the IC
it is possible to insert OSD and/or teletext signals directly
at the RGB outputs. This insertion mode is controlled via
the insertion input (pin 26 in the S-DIP 56- and pin 38 in the
QFP-64 envelope). This blanking action at the RGB
outputs has some delay which must be compensated
externally.
To obtain an accurate biasing of the picture tube a
“Continuous Cathode Calibration” circuit has been
developed. This function is realised by means of a 2-point
black level stabilisation circuit. By inserting 2 test levels for
each gun and comparing the resulting cathode currents
with 2 different reference currents the influence of the
picture tube parameters like the spread in cut-off voltage
can be eliminated. This 2-point stabilisation is based on
the principle that the ratio between the cathode currents is
coupled to the ratio between the drive voltages according
to:
The feedback loop makes the ratio between the cathode
currents Ik1 and Ik2 equal to the ratio between the
reference currents (which are internally fixed) by changing
the (black) level and the amplitude of the RGB output
signals via 2 converging loops. The system operates in
such a way that the black level of the drive signal is
controlled to the cut-off point of the gun so that a very good
grey scale tracking is obtained. The accuracy of the
adjustment of the black level is just dependent on the ratio
of internal currents and these can be made very accurately
in integrated circuits. An additional advantage of the
2-point measurement is that the control system makes the
absolute value of Ik1 and Ik2 identical to the internal
reference currents. Because this adjustment is obtained
by means of an adaption of the gain of the RGB control
stage this control stabilises the gain of the complete
channel (RGB output stage and cathode characteristic).
As a result variations in the gain figures during life will be
compensated by this 2-point loop.

An important property of the 2-point stabilisation is that the
off-set as well as the gain of the RGB path is adjusted by
the feedback loop. Hence the maximum drive voltage for
the cathode is fixed by the relation between the test
pulses, the reference current and the relative gain setting
of the 3 channels. This has the consequence that the drive
level of the CRT cannot be adjusted by adapting the gain
of the RGB output stage. Because different picture tubes
may require different drive levels the typical “cathode drive
level” amplitude can be adjusted by means of an I2C-bus
setting. Dependent on the chosen cathode drive level the
typical gain of the RGB output stages can be fixed taking
into account the drive capability of the RGB outputs (pins
19 to 21). More details about the design will be given in the
application report.
The measurement of the “high” and the “low” current of the
2- point stabilisation circuit is carried out in 2 consecutive
fields. The leakage current is measured in each field. The
maximum allowable leakage current is 100 mA
When the TV receiver is switched-on the RGB output
signals are blanked and the black current loop will try to set
the right picture tube bias levels. Via the AST bit a choice
can be made between automatic start-up or a start-up via
the m-processor. In the automatic mode the RGB drive
signals are switched-on as soon as the black current loop
has been stabilised. In the other mode the BCF bit is set to
0 when the loop is stabilised. The RGB drive can than be
switched-on by setting the AST bit to 0. In the latter mode
some delay can be introduced between the setting of the
BCF bit and the switching of the AST bit so that switch-on
effects can be suppressed.
It is also possible to start-up the devices with a fixed
internal delay (as with the TDA 837X and the TDA884X/5X
N1). This mode is activated with the BCO bit.
The vertical blanking is adapted to the incoming CVBS
signal (50 Hz or 60 Hz). When the flyback time of the
vertical output stage is longer than the 60 Hz blanking time
the blanking can be increased to the same value as that of
the 50 Hz blanking. This can be set by means of the LBM
bit.
For an easy (manual) adjustment of the Vg2 control voltage
the VSD bit is available. When this bit is activated the black
current loop is switched-off, a fixed black level is inserted
at the RGB outputs and the vertical scan is switched-off so
that a horizontal line is displayed on the screen. This line
can be used as indicator for the Vg2 adjustment. Because
of the different requirements for the optimum cut-off
voltage of the picture tube the RGB output level is
adjustable when the VSD bit is activated. The control
range is 2.5 ± 0.7 V and can be controlled via the
brightness control DAC.
It is possible to insert a so called “blue back” back-ground
level when no video is available. This feature can be
activated via the BB bit in the control2 subaddress.


CRT Line Output Stage Operation Principle:

I'll examine the operation of the line output stage, whose basic job is to generate a sawtooth current in the line scan coils so that the beams are deflected horizontally across the picture tube's screen. The beams are deflected from the left-hand side to the right-hand side to give the forward line scan: this is followed by a rapid, blanked flyback to the left-hand side ready to trace out the next viewed line. Because of the way in which the flyback is achieved, the line output transformer generates various pulse voltages which are rectified to produce the e.h.t. required by the tube and other supplies. The line output stage is not just any sort of amplifier. The active device, almost always a transistor though valves, thyristors and gate -controlled switches have been used in the past, operates as a switch, the inductive components in the stage being mainly responsible for generating the sawtooth current waveform. Tuning is used to generate and control the flyback. The line drive waveform controls the output transistor's on/off switching and thus determines the timing of the cycle of operations, keeping them phase synchronised with the transmitted picture signal.
Basic Operation

Fig. 1 shows in most basic form the main elements in the line output stage, the active device (transistor) being shown as a switch. When the switch is closed, capacitor C and diode D are shorted out and the 150V supply is connected across coil L. Now it's a basic law of inductance that when a d.c. voltage is connected across a coil the current flowing through the coil builds up linearly from zero. Fig. 2(a) shows this as a positive -going ramp that starts at time t 1 , when the switch is closed. After about 26psec (t2), roughly the time required to deflect the beams from screen centre flows via the large -value capacitor CR, charging the tuning capacitor C with the result that the voltage at its 'upper' plate (the one connected to the coil) rises to a relatively high positive value. When all the energy in coil L has been transferred to capacitor C (time t3) the latter begins to discharge, passing the energy back the other way to L via CR which, as far as the circuit's a.c. operation is concerned, can be regarded as a short-circuit. At time t4 the capacitor has discharged, having transferred the energy back to the coil. This to-and-fro interchange of energy between L and C, which from the a.c. point of view are in parallel (CR representing a short-circuit), is the normal action of a tuned/resonant/oscillatory circuit. The resonant frequency is determined by the values of L and C. These are selected so that when time t4 is reached, i.e. after a half cycle of oscillation, the sawtooth current has passed through zero to a negative point on the ramp and the beams have been deflected to the left-hand side of the screen ready for the next active line scan. To complete the oscillatory cycle (the normal resonant circuit action) the voltage at the upper plate of capacitor C would have to move negatively with respect to chassis. It can't do so because of the presence of diode D, which is called the efficiency diode - we'll explain that in a minute. When the voltage at the cathode of D tries to swing negatively it conducts, i.e. switches on, providing a discharge path for the coil. Once again because of the inductance in the circuit there's a gradual, linear current discharge, the enegery being returned to the supply's reservoir capacitor CR. During this discharge, the beams are deflected back towards the centre of the screen (times t4 to t5). At this point the magnetic flux (energy) in L has been dissipated. C is still in its discharged state, being shorted out by diode D. So at time t5, with the beams at screen centre (zero deflection), the switch has to be closed so that the cycle of operation can be repeated. The action of diode D has, with the inductance in the circuit, provided half the scan power while in the process returning the energy (minus inevitable circuit losses) to the reservoir capacitor. No wonder it's called the efficiency diode. It's important to note that the beam flyback period t2 to t4 is governed by the time -constant of L and C, consisting of one half cycle of oscillation. To achieve a flyback time of 12μsec the duration of one cycle needs to be 24μsec: so the resonant frequency of L and C works out at 41.67kHz. Fig. 3 illustrates the four phases in the operation of the line output stage. Now the voltage developed across an inductor is propor- tional to the rate of change of the current flowing through it. Thus the voltage across L is relatively low during the forward scan period but correspondingly high during the flyback, when the current flow is faster because of the circuit resonance. The voltage developed at the positive plate of capacitor C is shown in Fig. 2(b), typically peaking at 1,200V. Both the line output transistor and the efficiency diode must be capable of withstanding this high reverse voltage. As we've seen, the circuit action is highly efficient as the energy stored in L is returned to the supply during the first half of the forward scan: indeed with 'perfect' components there would be no net demand on the power supply at all! In practice because of the resistance of the inductor and the losses in the diode, switch and capacitor the circuit takes out a little more than it puts back, while the practice of loading the transformer with rectifier circuits to provide power for other sections of the set increases the stage's current demand. To make up for these losses, the line output transistor is switched on slightly before instead of at the centre of the forward scan. In a practical circuit L is the primary winding of the line output transformer and the deflection coils are connected across it via a d.c. blocking capacitor, CB, as shown in Fig. 4. This coupling capacitor also provides scan -correction (often referred to as S -correction). Why is this required? If a linear deflection current was used to control the scanning with a relatively flat -faced picture tube the sides of the picture would be stretched out in comparison with the centre section. Hence S -correction: the value of the coupling capacitor is chosen so that it resonantes with the inductance of the scan coils at about 5kHz. This has the effect of adding a sinewave component to the sawtooth current, as shown in Fig. 5. Thus the deflection power is tailored to suit the length of the beam paths as the screen is scanned, correcting the horizontal linearity of the display. At the line scanning frequency the scan coils behave as an almost perfect inductor, but their small d.c. resistance is in series with the fixed voltage that should be present across the coil. It has the effect of introducing an asymmetric sensitivity loss during the forward scan. To counteract it a further component is added in series with the scan coils - an inductor with a saturable magnetic core, biased by a permanent magnet so that its inductance falls as the scan current increases. The voltage drop across this inductor, which is known as the linearity coil, varies in the opposite sense to that produced by the resistance of the coils, thus providing an equal -but -opposite cancellation effect. In some TV sets the permanent magnet can be adjusted to trim the linearity correction, though many modern sets use components with such tight tolerances that a sealed linearity -correction coil can be used. With some very small -screen sets the horizontal non -linearity effect is small enough to be ignored.

Practical Line Output Stage
Fig. 6 shows a relatively simple line output stage circuit used with a 90° -deflection tube. Tr5 is the line output transistor, which incorporates the efficiency diode in the same package. The primary winding of the line output trans- former T4 is the section between pins 2 and 10, C95 being the flyback tuning capacitor. Scan coil coupling and S - correction are provided by C94, the line linearity coil L14 being connected in series on the chassis side of the scan current path. L14 is damped by R110 to prevent it ringing when the line flyback pulse occurs - the effect of an undamped linearity coil is velocity modulation of the beams at the beginning of their sweeps, showing up as black -and - white vertical striations at the left-hand side of the screen. C92 is the reservoir capacitor, the h.t. feed being via 8105. 8106 and R109 feed pulses to the second phase -locked loop (APC2) in the sync chip - we dealt with this in last month's instalment. A second pulse feed from the same point goes to the colour decoder chip to provide line blanking, burst gating and PAL switch drive - this particular set doesn't use the sandcastle pulse approach.

Secondary Supplies

So much for the generation and control of the sawtooth scanning current. The rest of the components in this circuit are used to harness the energy in the transformer to provide power supplies for other sections of the receiver. The winding between pins 4 and 8 pulse energises the picture tube's heaters at 6.3V r.m.s. The other supplies make use of the transformer as the heart of a d.c.-to-d.c. converter system, by means of secondary windings that provide pulse feeds to diode/capacitor rectifier circuits. Small -value (0.680) resistors in the 25V and 200V supplies provide surge limiting and protection (by going open -circuit) in the event of a short-circuit in one of these supplies. The most significant supply is obtained from the diode - split winding that starts at pin 9. Although not shown in full detail it consists of several 'cells', each of which consists of an electrically isolated secondary winding, a built-in high - voltage rectifier diode and, as the reservoir capacitor, the carefully contrived capacitance that's present between adjacent, highly -insulated winding layers. These cells are connected in series to form a voltage -multiplier system capable of providing an e.h.t. supply for the tube's final anode of typically 24kV - it may be as high as 30kV in some designs. There's a built-in surge limiter resistor at the output end of the chain of cells. An important part of the e.h.t. multiplier system is the final reservoir capacitor that split chain provides about 8kV to a built-in potential -divider chain that contains two presets: the one at the top provides the supply for the tube's focus electrode while the one near the bottom provides its first anode supply of about 800V. The bottom of the diode -split chain (pin 9) is returned to chassis via a diode/capacitor/resistor network (not shown here). The voltage developed across this network is proportional to the total beam current, since this flows from the tube's cathodes via the e.h.t. connector and the diode -split chain to chassis. Above a certain threshold the voltage at pin 9 reduces the picture brightness and/or contrast via the colour decoder/matrixing chip, limiting the beam current and hence the dissipation in the tube's shadowmask to safe levels. The winding between pins 10 and 7 of the transformer produces 50-70V pulses that sit on the h.t. voltage present at pin 10. When rectified by D23 and C100 a 200V supply is provided for the RGB output stages that drive the tube's cathodes. Secondary winding 4-6 feeds D24 and C99 which provide a 25V supply for the field timebase. In some designs supplies for the audio output stage and the signal sections of the receiver are also obtained from the line output transformer: in this particular chassis they are obtained from the chopper transformer in the power supply instead. Incidentally there have been one or two designs, the Ferguson/philco TX10 chassis being a well-known example, where the e.h.t. is also obtained from the chopper transformer, the line output transformer then acting mainly as a load for the line output transistor. In earlier designs a separate diode - capacitor multiplier unit (tripler) was fed from a single line output transformer overwiding to provide the e.h.t.

Scan Rectification

The e.h.t., focus and 200V supplies derived from the transformer are relatively lightly loaded, i.e. no great current demand is placed on them. They can therefore be obtained by rectifying the pulses present during the flyback period (time t2 -t4 in Fig. 2), which is about twenty per cent of the scan cycle. Where the current demand is greater, e.g. in a supply for the field timebase or an audio output stage, the phasing of the relevant transformer winding is often arranged so that the rectifier diode conducts during the scan rather than the flyback period. Although the voltage available is much lower, it's present for a longer period (about eighty per cent of the scan/duty cycle). As a result the output regulation is much better. The relatively high peak reverse voltage has to be taken into account in the rectifier diode's specification.

EHT Regulation

The internal impedance of a diode -split e.h.t. supply is typically about 1MOhm. Thus with a total beam current of lmA, present when a bright picture is being displayed on a 22in. picture tube, the e.h.t. voltage will drop by about 1kV or five per cent. The result of this is some ballooning, i.e. increase in picture size. Compensation can be provided by reducing the line scanning power. Careful choice of the value of the resistor that feeds the line output transformer - R105 in Fig. 6 - gives automatic compensation in the horizontal direction, while deriving the supply for the field output stage from the line output transformer tends to cancel out the ballooning in the vertical plane. Various 'anti -breathing' arrangements are used in TV receiver design. Most operate via the diode -modulator circuit we'll come to shortly. With any line output stage circuit the picture width and e.h.t. voltage depend on the stage's h.t. supply, so this must be well regulated and set up correctly. In the circuit shown in Fig. 6 the h.t. voltage has to be 119V with a 20in. tube and 145V with a 22in. tube.


Pincushion Distortion

The raster produced on an almost -flat faced picture tube by constant -amplitude scan currents has pincushion distortion at all four sides. This is because of the disparity between the image plane and the screen's profile -  . As a general rule the deflection yokes used with modern 90° tubes have built-in correction for both NS (vertical) and EW (horizontal) pincushion distortion while 110° tubes (generally above 22in. screen size) have in -yoke correction for NS distortion but cannot fully compensate for the pincushion effect at the sides of the screen. Thus with these the line scan current has to be amplitude -modulated by a parabolic waveform at field frequency as shown in Fig. 7. With present-day tube designs a modulation depth of about seven per cent is required. the peak -to -peak scan current being typically 4.1A at the top and bottom of the screen and 4.4A towards the centre of the screen, where the deflection power is greatest. Amplitude modulation of the line scan current can be achieved by including a saturable -reactance transformer in series with the scan coils, but this is expensive. You could put a suitably -shaped ripple on the supply to the line output stage, but the parabola would be superimposed on any secondary supplies derived from the line output transformer. The most widely used solution is to employ a diode -modu- lator circuit, since this gives full control of the raster shape and scan amplitude while providing a constant load current and flyback time.

The Diode Modulator
Fig. 8 shows the essence of a diode -modulator arrange- ment. The efficiency diode is split in two, DI and D2, which perform the same clamping action as before. The flyback tuning capacitor is also split in two, Cl and C2: the upper one tunes the transformer and scan coils (L1) as before while the lower one tunes a bridge coil, L2, via C4 to the same flyback frequency of about 42kHz. C3 is the scan coupling capacitor, which corresponds with CB in Fig. 4. Modulation is achieved by using transistor Tr2, whose conduction governs the scan width, to vary the load across C4. When Tr2 is off, the scan energy is shared between the the two series LC combinations C3/L1 and L2/C4. The charge on C3 and C4 is in the ratio of about 7:1, the scan current being reduced in proportion. When Tr2 is fully conductive, C4 is effectively shorted out and acquires no charge. Thus a greater proportion of the energy is present in C3/L1 and the scan current and picture width are increased. By varying the conduction of Tr2 during the forward scan in a parabolic manner, EW pincushion correction is achieved. The basic picture width can be controlled by varying Tr2's standing bias. Choke L3 and the large -value capacitor C5 filter the line -frequency energy so that it doesn't reach Tr2. And because both sections of the load (L 1/C1 and L2/C2) are individually tuned to the flyback frequency the flyback time, and hence the e.h.t. and the other line output transformer -derived supplies, remain constant over the field period despite the line scan current variation. There are several different versions of the diode -modu- lator arrangement. Some tube/yoke combinations have a scan -geometry characteristic such that when the line scan current is modulated by a simple parabolic waveform as described above the raster has inner pincushion distortion as shown in Fig. 9.
 Because of this. the EW-correction system also has to modulate the S -correction. Fig. 10 shows, in skeleton circuit form. how this can be done. There are two coupling/S-correction capacitors. C3 and C3A. C3 is the usual S -correction capacitor, but C3A has an increasing influence as the diode modulator begins to have maximum effect towards the centre of the screen. Critical choice of the value of C3A ensures that the inner curved verticals shown in Fig. 9 are straightened out to give a raster completely free from geometric distortion. Although all diode modulators work on the same basic principle, in some designs a transformer is used in place of the bridge coil to give better impedance matching and balance. Fig. 11 shows such an arrangement, used by Bang and Olufsen. The EW correction waveform is applied to transformer T6. whose winding 1-2 takes the place of L2 in Figs. 8 and 10. This circuit also provides inner -pincushion distortion correction as just described, the supplementary S - correction capacitor being C36.

Diode Modulator Drive

The parabolic EW drive waveform required is easily obtained by feeding the field -scan sawtooth waveform to a double integrator. By adding a sawtooth component the shape of the parabolic waveform can be tilted in either direction to give keystone -distortion correction if required - this is not generally necessary with modern tube/yoke designs. These EW correction characteristics are adjustable by preset resistors or, in the case of bus -programmable sets, remote control commands to the deflection processor. Very often the EW modulator is used to correct the previously mentioned picture breathing effect: this is done by feeding to the EW modulator's control circuit a voltage that's proportional to beam current.


 MIVAR 25S5 CHASSIS 1086 STEREO    TEA2261 SWITCH MODE POWER SUPPLY CONTROLLER: MIVAR CS1086.
The control means IP1 provide a soft start for a safe start-up after switching on the line power. This is accomplished via a resistor R5 charging slowly a capacitor C14 with a high capacitance which provides the necessary power for the integrated circuit IP1 at pins 15 and 16.
Additionally the SMPS starts with a low oscillating frequency to avoid a current build-up in the switching transistor T1. A current build-up can arise when the energy stored in the primary inductance is not fully transferred to the secondary side before a new conduction period is initiated. This will lead to operation in continuous mode and the switching transistor T1 may leave therefore his safe operating area. To reduce the oscillating frequency during start-up, the SMPS includes a resistor R511 and a diode D9 in series which connect the capacitor C26 with a capacitor C12 which is charged by the feed-back winding W2. The capacitor C12 is not charged up initially when the SMPS is switched on. Therefore, the diode D9 disconnects capacitor C26 from capacitor C12. The operating frequency is then fixed by R13 and C26, which is a low frequency (a few kHz). After a certain time capacitor C12 is charged up and then D9 will be conducting and an additional current will charge C26 via R511, thus the oscillating frequency increases to its normal operating frequency (about 22 kHz). This ensures that the SMPS starts safely in discontinuous mode, i.e. the energy stored in the primary inductance is always fully transferred to the secondary side before a new conduction period of transistor T1 is initiated.
The start-up of this known SMPS is depending on the charge-up time of capacitor C14 via resistor R5, therefore, depending on the voltage value of the AC mains input voltage. This leads to a quite long start-up time at a low mains input voltage.

The invention relates to a switch mode power supply (SMPS) comprising control means which include an oscillator for generating a pulse width modulated signal.
It is the object of the invention to provide a SMPS as previously described having a fast start-up time over a wide input voltage range. This object is accomplished with a switch mode power supply according to claim 1. The subclaims relate to preferred embodiments.
According to the invention, the switch mode power supply comprises a network which provides in case of a high input voltage a start-up with a low oscillation frequency only for the start-up time. After start-up, the oscillation frequency changes to the normal oscillating frequency. In case of a low input voltage, the network provides a start-up with essentially the normal oscillation frequency. This can be done without safety risk for the switching transistor because the operating voltages are low in this case. Even if a slight current build-up phenomenon occurs during start-up, the switching transistor stays in the safe operating area because of the low voltages. The network, therefore, includes means which change the oscillating frequency only in case of a high mains input voltage. No soft start is provided in case of a low mains input voltage. The frequency control of the oscillation frequency can be done advantageously by frequency control means including a transistor stage which change in case of a high mains input voltage the time constant of the oscillator network which determines the oscillation frequency.
In a special embodiment the network comprises a transistor used in inverse mode as a switching element. With this circuit arrangement an additional diode is not necessary. This utilizes the fact that the maximum collector base breakdown's voltage is distinctly higher than the maximum emitter base breakdown's voltage. The SMPS can be used especially for a TV receiver which works in a mains input voltage range of 90 V to 270 V, in a TV receiver the start-up time of the picture tube has to be considered additionally.

DESCRIPTION
The TEA2260/61 is a monolithic integrated circuit
for the use in primary part of an off-line switching
mode power supply.
All functions required for SMPS control under normal
operating,transient or abnormal conditions are
provided.
The capability of working according to the ”masterslave”
concept, or according to the ”primary regulation”
mode makes the TEA2260/61 very flexible
and easy to use. This is particularly true for TV
receivers where the IC provides an attractive and
low cost solution (no need of stand-by auxiliary
power supply).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TEA2260/61 is an off-line switch mode power
supply controller. The synchronization functionand
the specificoperationin stand-bymodemake itwell
adapted to video applications such as TV sets,
VCRs, monitors, etc...
The TEA2260/61 can be used in two types of
architectures :
- Master/slave architecture. In this case, the
TEA2260/61 drives the power transistor according
to the pulse width modulated signals generated
by the secondary located master circuit. A
pulse transformer provides the feedback (see
Figure 1).
- Conventional architecture with linear feedback
signal (feedback sources : optocoupler or transformer
winding) (see Figure 2).


Using the TEA2260/61, the stand-by auxiliary
power supply, often realized with a small but costly
50Hz transformer, is no longer necessary. The
burst mode operation of the TEA2260/61 makes
possible the control of very low output power (down
to less than 1W) with the main power transformer.
When used in a master/slave architecture, the
TEA2260/61and also the power transistor turn-off
can be easily synchronized with the line transformer.
The switching noise cannot disturb the
picture in this case.
As an S.M.P.S.controller, the TEA2260/61features
the following functions :
- Power supply start-up (with soft-start)

- PWM generator
- Direct power transistor drive (+1.2A, -2.0A)
- Safety functions : pulse by pulse current limitation,
output power limitation, over and under voltage
lock-out.
S.M.P.S. OPERATING DESCRIPTION
Starting Mode - Stand By Mode
Power for circuit supply is taken from the mains
through a high value resistor before starting. As
long as VCC of the TEA2260/61 is below VCC start,
the quiescent current is very low (typically 0.7mA)
and the electrolytic capacitor across VCC is linearly
charged. When VCC reaches VCC start (typically
10.3V), the circuit starts, generating output pulses
with a soft-starting. Then the SMPS goes into the
stand-bymode and the output voltage is a percentage
of the nominal output voltage (eg. 80%).
For this the TEA2260/61 contains all the functions
required for primary mode regulation : a fixed frequency
oscillator, a voltage reference, an error
amplifier and a pulse width modulator (PWM).
For transmission of low power with a good efficiency
in stand-by, an automatic burst generation
system is used, in order to avoid audible noise.
Normal Mode (secondary regulation)
The normal operating of the TV set is obtained by
sending to the TEA2260/61regulation pulses generated
by a regulator located in the secondary side
of the power supply.
This architectureuses the ”Master-slave Concept”,
advantages of which are now well-known especially
the very high efficiency in stand-bymode, and
the accurate regulation in normal mode.
Stand-by mode or normal mode are obtained by
supplying or not the secondary regulator. This can
be ordonneredfor exemple by a microprocessor in
relation with the remote control unit.
Regulation pulses are applied to the TEA2260/61
through a small pulse-transformer to the IN input
(Pin 2). This input is sensitive to positive square
pulses. The typical threshold of this input is 0.85V.
The frequency of pulses coming from the secondary
regulator can be lower or higher than the
frequency of the starting oscillator.
The TEA2260/61has no soft-starting system when
it receives pulses from the secondary. The softstarting
has to be located in the secondary regulator.
Due to the principle of the primary regulation,
pulses generated by the starting system automatically
disappear when the voltage delivered by the
SMPS increases.
Stand-by Mode - Normal Mode Transition
During the transition there are simultaneously
pulses coming from the primary and secondary
regulators.
These signals are not synchronizedand some care
has to betaken toensure the safety of theswitching
power transistor.
Avery sure and simple way consist in checking the
transformer demagnetization state.
- A primary pulse is taken in account only if the
transformer is demagnetized after a conduction
of the power transistor required by the secondary
regulator.
- A secondary pulse is taken in account only if the
transformer is demagnetized after a conduction
of the power transistor required by the primary
regulator.
With this arrangement the switching safety area of
the power transistor is respected and there is no
risk of transformer magnetization.
The magnetization state of the transformer is
checked by sensing the voltage across a winding
of the transformer (generally the same which supplies
the TEA2261). This is made by connecting a
resistor between this winding and the demagnetization
sensing input of the circuit (Pin 1).



SECURITY FUNCTIONS OF THE TEA2261 (see flow-chart below)
- Undervoltage detection. This protection works
in association with the starting device ”VCC
switch” (see paragraph Starting-mode - standby
mode). If VCC is lower than VCCstop (typically
7.4V) output pulses are inhibited, in order to avoid
wrong operation of the power supply or bad
power transistor drive.
- Overvoltage detection. If VCC exceedsVCCmax
(typically 15.7V) output pulses are inhibited. Restarting
of the power supply is obtained by reducing
VCC below VCCstop.
- Current limitation of the power transistor. The
current is measured by a shunt resistor. Adouble
threshold system is used :
- When the first threshold (VIM1) is reached, the
conduction of the power transistor is stopped
until the end of the period : a new conduction
signal is needed to obtain conduction again.
- Furthermore as long as the first threshold is
reached (it means during several periods), an

external capacitor C2 is charged. When the
voltage across the capacitor reaches VC2 (typically
2.55V) the output is inhibited.This is called
the ”repetitive overload protection”. If the overload
diseappears before VC2 is reached, C2 is
discharged, so transient overloads are tolerated.
- Second current limitation threshold (VIM2).
When this thresholdis reached the output of the
circuit is immediatly inhibited. This protection is
helpfull in case of hard overload for example to
avoid the magnetization of the transformer.
- Restart of the power supply. After stopping due
to VC2, VIM2, VCCMax or VCCstop triggering, restart
of the power supply can be obtained by the
normal operating of the ”VCC switch” but thanks
to an integrted counter, if normal restart cannot
be obtained after three trials, the circuit is definitively
stopped. In this case it is necessary to
reduce VCC below approximately 5V to reset the
circuit. From a practical point of view, it means
that the power supply has to be temporarily disconnected
from any power source to get the
restart.

 
PHILIPS TDA8358J
Full bridge vertical deflection output circuit in LVDMOS with east-west amplifier


FEATURES
• Few external components required
• High efficiency fully DC coupled vertical bridge output circuit
• Vertical flyback switch with short rise and fall times
• Built-in guard circuit
• Thermal protection circuit
• Improved EMC performance due to differential inputs
• East-west output stage.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8358J is a power circuit for use in 90° and 110° colour deflection systems for 25 to 200 Hz field frequencies, and for 4 : 3 and 16 : 9 picture tubes. The IC contains a vertical deflection output circuit, operating as a high efficiency class G system. The full bridge output circuit allows DC coupling of the deflection coil in combination with single positive supply voltages. The east-west output stage is able to supply the sink current for a diode modulator circuit. The IC is constructed in a Low Voltage DMOS (LVDMOS) process that combines bipolar, CMOS and DMOS devices. DMOS transistors are used in the output stage because of absence of second breakdown.


FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Vertical output stage
The vertical driver circuit has a bridge configuration. The deflection coil is connected between the complimentary driven output amplifiers. The differential input circuit is voltage driven. The input circuit is specially designed for direct connection to driver circuits delivering a differential signal but it is also suitable for single-ended applications. The output currents of the driver device are converted to voltages by the conversion resistors RCV1 and RCV2 (see Fig.3) connected to pins INA and INB. The differential input voltage is compared with the voltage across the measuring resistor RM, providing internal feedback information. The voltage across RM is proportional with the output current. The relationship between the differential input current and the output current is defined by: 2 × Ii(dif)(p-p) × RCV = Io(p-p) × RM The output current should measure 0.5 to 3.2 A (p-p) and is determined by the value of RM and RCV. The allowable input voltage range is 100 mV to 1.6 V for each input. The formula given does not include internal bondwire resistances. Depending on the value of RM and the internal bondwire resistance (typical value 50 mΩ) the actual value of the current in the deflection coil will be about 5% lower than calculated.

Flyback supply
The flyback voltage is determined by the flyback supply voltage VFB. The principle of two supply voltages (class G) allows to use an optimum supply voltage VP for scan and an optimum flyback supply voltage VFB for flyback, thus very high efficiency is achieved. The available flyback output voltage across the coil is almost equal to VFB, due to the absence of a coupling capacitor which is not required in a bridge configuration. The very short rise and fall times of the flyback switch are determined mainly by the slew-rate value of more than 300 V/μs.

Protection
The output circuit contains protection circuits for:
• Too high die temperature
• Overvoltage of output A.

Guard circuit
A guard circuit with output pin GUARD is provided. The guard circuit generates a HIGH-level during the flyback period. The guard circuit is also activated for one of the following conditions: • During thermal protection (Tj ≈ 170 °C) • During an open-loop condition. The guard signal can be used for blanking the picture tube and signalling fault conditions. The vertical synchronization pulses of the guard signal can be used by an On Screen Display (OSD) microcontroller.

Damping resistor compensation
HF loop stability is achieved by connecting a damping resistor RD1 (see Fig.4) across the deflection coil. The current values in RD1 during scan and flyback are significantly different. Both the resistor current and the deflection coil current flow into measuring resistor RM, resulting in a too low deflection coil current at the start of the scan. The difference in the damping resistor current values during scan and flyback have to be externally compensated in order to achieve a short settling time. For that purpose a compensation resistor RCMP is connected between pins OUTA and COMP. The value of RCMP is calculated by: ( VFB – Vloss ( FB ) – VP ) × R D1 × ( RS + 300) RCMP = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ( V FB – Vloss ( FB ) – I coil (peak ) × Rcoil) × RM where: • Rcoil is the coil resistance • Vloss(FB) is the voltage loss between pins VFB and OUTA at flyback.

East-west amplifier
The east-west amplifier is a current driver sinking the current of a diode modulator circuit. A feedback resistor REWF (see Fig.4) has to be connected between the input and output of the inverting east-west amplifier in order to convert the east-west correction input current into an output voltage. The output voltage of the east-west circuit at pin OUTEW is given by: Vo ≈ Ii × REWF + Vi The maximum output voltage is Vo(max) = 68 V, while the maximum output current of the circuit is Io(max) = 750 mA.

Power dissipation calculation for the east-west stage
In general the shape of the east-west output wave form is a parabola. The output voltage will be higher at the beginning and end of the vertical scan compared to the voltage at the scan middle, while the output current will be higher at the scan middle. This results in an almost uniform power dissipation distribution during scan. Therefore the power dissipation can be calculated by multiplying the average values of the output voltage and the output current of pin OUTEW. When verifying the dissipation also the start-up and stop dissipation should be taken into account. Power dissipation during start-up can be 3 to 5 times higher than during normal operation.

Heatsink calculation
The value of the heatsink can be calculated in a standard way with a method based on average temperatures. The required thermal resistance of the heatsink is determined by the maximum die temperature of 150 °C. In general we recommend to design for an average die temperature not exceeding 130 °C. It should be noted that the heatsink thermal resistance Rth(h-a) found by performing a standard calculation will be lower then normally found for a vertical deflection stand alone device, due to the contribution of the EW power dissipation to this value.

The TDA9870A is a single-chip Digital TV Sound Processor (DTVSP) for analog multi-channel sound systems in TV sets and satellite receivers.


 

2.1
 Supported standards
The multistandard/multi-stereo capability of the TDA9870A is mainly of interest in Europe, but also in Hong Kong/Peoples Republic of China and South East Asia. This includes B/G, D/K, I, M and L standard. In other application areas there exists only subsets of those standard combinations otherwise only single standards are transmitted. M standard is transmitted in Europe by the American Forces Network (AFN) with European channel spacing (7 MHz VHF, 8 MHz UHF) and monaural sound. Korea has a stereo sound system similar to Europe and is supported by the TDA9870A. Differences include deviation, modulation contents and identification. It is based on M standard. An overview of the supported standards and sound systems and their key parameters is given in Table 1. The analog multi-channel sound systems (A2, A2+ and A2*) are sometimes also named 2CS (2-Carrier Systems).

 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
6.1
6.1.1
Description of the demodulator and decoder
section
SIF INPUT
Two input pins are provided, SIF1 e.g. for terrestrial TV and SIF2 e.g. for a satellite tuner. For higher SIF signal levels the SIF input can be attenuated with an internally switchable −10 dB resistor divider. As no specific filters are integrated, both inputs have the same specification giving flexibility in application. The selected signal is passed through an AGC circuit and then digitized by an 8-bit ADC operating at 24.576 MHz.
6.1.2

 AGC
The gain of the AGC amplifier is controlled from the ADC output by means of a digital control loop employing hysteresis. The AGC has a fast attack behaviour to prevent ADC overloads and a slow decay behaviour to prevent AGC oscillations. For AM demodulation the AGC must be switched off. When switched off, the control loop is reset and fixed gain settings can be chosen (see Table 14; subaddress 0). The AGC can be controlled via the I2C-bus. Details can be found in the I2C-bus register definitions (see Chapter 10).

6.1.3
 MIXER
The digitized input signal is fed to the mixers, which mix one or both input sound carriers down to zero IF. A 24-bit control word for each carrier sets the required frequency. Access to the mixer control word registers is via the I2C-bus.

6.1.4
 FM AND AM DEMODULATION
An FM or AM input signal is fed via a band-limiting filter to a demodulator that can be used for either FM or AM demodulation. Apart from the standard (fixed) de-emphasis characteristic, an adaptive de-emphasis is available for encoded satellite programs. A stereo decoder recovers the left and right signal channels from the demodulated sound carriers. Both the European and Korean stereo systems are supported.

6.1.5
 FM IDENTIFICATION
The identification of the FM sound mode is performed by AM synchronous demodulation of the pilot signal and narrow-band detection of the identification frequencies. The result is available via the I2C-bus interface. A selection can be made via the I2C-bus for B/G, D/K and M standard and for three different modes that represent different trade-offs between speed and reliability of identification.

6.1.6
 CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
The crystal oscillator (XO) is illustrated in Fig.8 (see Chapter 12). The circuitry of the XO is fully integrated, only the external 24.576 MHz crystal is needed.

6.1.7
 TEST PINS
Both test pins are active HIGH, in normal operation of the device they are connected to VSSD1. Test functions are for manufacturing tests only and are not available to customers. Without external circuitry these pads are pulled down to LOW level with internal resistors.

6.1.8
 POWER FAIL DETECTOR
The power fail detector monitors the internal power supply for the digital part of the device. If the supply has temporarily been lower than the specified lower limit, the power-on reset bit POR, transmitter register subaddress 0 (see Section 10.4.1), will be set to HIGH. The CLRPOR bit, slave register subaddress 1 (see Section 10.3.2), resets the power-on reset flip-flop to LOW. If this is detected, an initialization of the TDA9870A has to be performed to ensure reliable operation.

6.2.1
 LEVEL SCALING
All input channels to the digital crossbar switch (except for the loudspeaker feedback path) are equipped with a level adjust facility to change the signal level in a range of ±15 dB. It is recommended to scale all input channels to be 15 dB below full scale (−15 dB full scale) under nominal conditions.

6.2.2
 FM (AM) PATH
A high-pass filter suppresses DC offsets from the FM demodulator, due to carrier frequency offsets, and supplies the monitor/peak function with DC values and an unfiltered signal, e.g. for the purpose of carrier detection. The de-emphasis function offers fixed settings for the supported standards (50 μs, 60 μs and 75 μs). An adaptive de-emphasis is available for Wegener-Panda 1 encoded programs. A matrix performs the dematrixing of the A2 stereo, dual and mono signals.

6.2.3
 MONITOR
This function provides data words from a number of locations of the signal processing paths to the I2C-bus interface (2 data bytes). Signal sources include the FM demodulator outputs, most inputs to the digital crossbar switch and the outputs of the ADC. Source selection and data read-out is performed via the I2C-bus. Optionally, the peak value can be measured instead of simply taking samples. The internally stored peak value is reset to zero when the data is read via the I2C-bus. The monitor function may be used, for example, for signal level measurements or carrier detection.

6.2.4
 LOUDSPEAKER (MAIN) CHANNEL
The matrix provides the following functions; forced mono, stereo, channel swap, channel 1, channel 2 and spatial effects. There are fixed coefficient sets for spatial settings of 30%, 40% and 52%. The Automatic Volume Level (AVL) function provides a constant output level of −23 dB full scale for input levels between 0 and −29 dB full scale. There are some fixed decay time constants to choose from, i.e. 2, 4 and 8 s. Pseudo stereo is based on a phase shift in one channel via a 2nd-order all-pass filter. There are fixed coefficient sets to provide 90 degrees phase shift at frequencies of 150, 200 and 300 Hz. Volume is controlled individually for each channel ranging from +24 to −83 dB with 1 dB resolution. There is also a mute position. For the purpose of a simple control software in the microcontroller, the decimal number that is sent as an I2C-bus data byte for volume control is identical to the volume setting in dBs (e.g. the I2C-bus data byte +10 sets the new volume value to +10 dB). Balance can be realized by independent control of the left and right channel volume settings. Contour is adjustable between 0 and +18 dB with 1 dB resolution. This function is linked to the volume setting by means of microcontroller software. Bass is adjustable between +15 and −12 dB with 1 dB resolution and treble is adjustable between ±12 dB with 1 dB resolution. For the purpose of a simple control software in the microcontroller, the decimal number that is sent as an I2C-bus data byte for contour, bass or treble is identical to the new contour, bass or treble setting in dBs (e.g. the I2C-bus data byte +8 sets the new value to +8 dB). Extra bass boost is provided up to 20 dB with 2 dB resolution. The implemented coefficient set serves merely as an example on how to use this filter. The beeper provides tones in a range from approximately 400 Hz to 30 kHz. The frequency can be selected via the I2C-bus. The beeper output signal is added to the loudspeaker and headphone channel signals. The beeper volume is adjustable with respect to full scale between 0 and −93 dB with 3 dB resolution. The beeper is not effected by mute. Soft mute provides a mute ability in addition to volume control with a well defined time (32 ms) after which the soft mute is completed. A smooth fading is achieved by a cosine masking.

6.2.5
 HEADPHONE (AUXILIARY) CHANNEL The matrix provides the following functions; forced mono, stereo, channel swap, channel 1 and channel 2 (or C and S in Dolby Surround Pro Logic mode). Volume is controlled individually for each channel in a range from +24 to −83 dB with 1 dB resolution. There is also a mute position.

 For the purpose of a simple control software in the microcontroller, the decimal number that is sent as an I2C-bus data byte for volume control is identical to the volume setting in dB (e.g. the I2C-bus data byte +10 sets the new volume value to +10 dB). Balance can be realized by independent control of the left and right channel volume settings. Bass is adjustable between +15 and −12 dB with 1 dB resolution and treble is adjustable between ±12 dB with 1 dB resolution. For the purpose of a simple control software in the microcontroller, the decimal number that is sent as an I2C-bus data byte for bass or treble is identical to the new bass or treble setting in dB (e.g. the I2C-bus data byte +8 sets the new value to +8 dB). The beeper provides tones in a range from approximately 400 Hz to 30 kHz. The frequency can be selected via the I2C-bus. The beeper output signal is added to the loudspeaker and headphone channel signals. The beeper volume is adjustable with respect to full scale between 0 and −93 dB with 3 dB resolution. The beeper is not effected by mute. Soft mute provides a mute ability in addition to volume control with a well defined time (32 ms) after which the soft mute is completed. A smooth fading is achieved by a cosine masking.

 6.2.6
 FEATURE INTERFACE The feature interface comprises two I2S-bus input/output ports and a system clock output. Each I2S-bus port is equipped with level adjust facilities that can change the signal level in a range of ±15 dB with 1 dB resolution. Outputs can be disabled to improve EMC performance. The I2S-bus output matrix provides the following functions; forced mono, stereo, channel swap, channel 1 and channel 2. One example of how the feature interface can be used in a TV set is to connect an external Dolby Surround Pro Logic DSP, such as the SAA7710, to the I2S-bus ports. Outputs must be enabled and a suitable master clock signal for the DSP can be taken from pin SYSCLK. A stereo signal from any source will be output on one of the I2S-bus serial data outputs and the four processed signal channels will be entered at both I2S-bus serial data inputs. Left and right could then be output to the power amplifiers via the Main channel, centre and surround via the Auxiliary channel.

 6.2.7
 CHANNEL FROM THE AUDIO ADC The signal level at the output of the ADC can be adjusted in a range of ±15 dB with 1 dB resolution. The audio ADC itself is scaled to a gain of −6 dB.

 6.2.8
 CHANNEL TO THE ANALOG CROSSBAR PATH Level adjust with control positions 0 dB, +3 dB, +6 dB and +9 dB.

 6.2.9
 DIGITAL CROSSBAR SWITCH (see Fig.6) Input channels to the crossbar switch are from the audio ADC, I2S1, I2S2, FM path and from the loudspeaker channel path after matrix and AVL. Output channels comprise loudspeaker, headphone, I2S1, I2S2 and the audio DACs for line output and SCART. The I 2S1 and I2S2 outputs also provide digital outputs from the loudspeaker and headphone channels, but without the beeper signals.

 6.2.10
 GENERAL
There are a number of functions that can provide signal gain, e.g. volume, bass and treble control. Great care has to be taken when using gain with large input signals in order not to exceed the maximum possible signal swing, which would cause severe signal distortion. The nominal signal level of the various signal sources to the digital crossbar switch should be 15 dB below digital full scale (−15 dB full scale). This means that a volume setting of, say, +15 dB would just produce a full scale output signal and not cause clipping, if the signal level is nominal. Sending illegal data patterns via the I2C-bus will not cause any changes of the current setting for the volume, bass, treble, bass boost and level adjust functions.

6.2.11
 EXPERT MODE The TDA9870A provides a special expert mode that gives direct write access to the internal Coefficient RAM (CRAM) of the DSP. It can be used to create user-defined characteristics, such as a tone control with different corner frequencies or special boost/cut characteristics to correct the low-frequency loudspeaker and/or cabinet frequency responses by means of the bass boost filter. However, this mode must be used with great care. More information on the functions of this device, such as the number of coefficients per function, their default values, memory addresses, etc., can be made available on request.
 

 SCART OUTPUTS The SCART outputs employ amplifiers with two gain settings. The gain can be set to 3 dB or to 0 dB via the I2C-bus. The 3 dB position is needed to compensate for the 3 dB attenuation at the SCART inputs should SCART-to-SCART copies with 0 dB gain be preferred [under the condition of 1.4 V (RMS) maximum input level]. The 0 dB position is needed, for example, for an external-to-SCART copy with 0 dB gain.


 6.3.5
 LINE OUTPUT The line output can provide an unprocessed copy of the audio signal in the loudspeaker channels. This can be either an external signal that comes from the dual audio ADC, or a signal from an internal digital audio source that comes from the dual audio DAC. The line output employs amplifiers with two gain settings. The 3 dB position is needed to compensate for the attenuation at the SCART inputs, while the 0 dB position is needed, for example, for non-attenuated external or internal digital signals (see Section 6.3.4).

 6.3.6
 LOUDSPEAKER (MAIN) AND HEADPHONE (AUXILIARY) OUTPUTS Signals from any audio source can be applied to the loudspeaker and to the headphone output channels via the digital crossbar switch and the DSP.

 6.3.7
 DUAL AUDIO DAC The TDA9870A contains three dual audio DACs, one for the connection from the DSP to the analog crossbar switch section and two for the loudspeaker and headphone outputs. Each of the three dual low-noise high-dynamic range DACs consists of two 15-bit DACs with current outputs, followed by a buffer operational amplifier. The audio DACs operate with four-fold oversampling and noise shaping.

 6.3.8
 DUAL AUDIO ADC There is one dual audio ADC in the TDA9870A for the connection of the analog crossbar switch section to the DSP. The dual audio ADC consists of two bitstream 3rd-order sigma-delta audio ADCs and a high-order decimation filter.

 6.3.9
 STANDBY MODE The standby mode (subaddress 1, bit 5) disables most functions and reduces power dissipation. The analog crossbar switch and the SCART section remains operational and can be controlled by the I2C-bus to support copying of analog signals from SCART-to-SCART. Unused internal registers may lose their information in standby mode. Therefore, the device needs to be initialized on returning to normal operation. This can be accomplished in the same way as after a power-on reset.

 6.3.10
 SUPPLY GROUND
The different supply grounds VSSX are internally connected via substrate. It is therefore recommended to connect all ground pins externally close to the pins by a copper plane.

PHILIPS TDA7057AQ2 x 5 W stereo BTL audio output amplifier with DC volume control.


FEATURES
• DC volume control
• Few external components
• Mute mode
• Thermal protection
• Short-circuit proof
• No switch-on and switch-off clicks
• Good overall stability
• Low power consumption
• Low HF radiation
• ESD protected on all pins.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA7057AQ is a stereo BTL output amplifier with DC volume control. The device is designed for use in TV and monitors, but are also suitable for battery-fed portable recorders and radios. Missing Current Limiter (MCL) A MCL protection circuit is built-in. The MCL circuit is activated when the difference in current between the output terminal of each amplifier exceeds 100 mA (typical 300 mA). This level of 100 mA allows for headphone applications (single-ended).

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA7057AQ is a stereo output amplifier with two DC volume control stages. The device is designed for TV and monitors, but are also suitable for battery-fed portable recorders and radios. In conventional DC volume control circuits the control or input stage is AC coupled to the output stage via external capacitors to keep the offset voltage low. In the TDA7057AQ the two DC volume control stages are integrated into the input stages so that no coupling capacitors are required and a low offset voltage is still maintained. The minimum supply voltage also remains low.

The BTL principle offers the following advantages;
• Lower peak value of the supply current
• The frequency of the ripple on the supply voltage is twice
the signal frequency. Consequently, a reduced power supply with smaller capacitors can be used which results in cost reductions. For portable applications there is a trend to decrease the supply voltage, resulting in a reduction of output power at conventional output stages. Using the BTL principle increases the output power. The maximum gain of the amplifier is fixed at 40.5 dB. The DC volume control stages have a logarithmic control characteristic. Therefore, the total gain can be controlled from +40.5 dB to −33 dB. If the DC volume control voltage falls below 0.4 V, the device will switch to the mute mode. The amplifier is a short-circuit protected to ground, VP and across the load. A thermal protection circuit is also implemented. If the crystal temperature rises above +150 °C the gain will be reduced, thereby reducing the output power. Special attention is given to switch-on and switch-off clicks, low HF radiation and a good overall stability.
