Digital TV sound demodulator/decoder
Preliminary specification
TDA9874H
1 FEATURES
• SIF input switch e.g. to select between terrestrial TV SIF
and SAT SIF sources
• SIF AGC with 21 dB control range
• SIF 8-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
• DQPSK demodulation for different standards,
simultaneously with 1-channel FM demodulation
• NICAM decoding (B/G, I and L standard)
• Two-carrier multi-standard FM demodulation
(B/G, D/K and M standard)
• Decoding for three analog multi-channel systems
(A2, A2+ and A2*) and satellite sound
• Adaptive de-emphasis for satellite
• Programmable identification (B/G, D/K and M standard)
and different identification times
• Optional AM demodulation for system L, simultaneously
with NICAM
• Monitor selection for FM/AM demodulator outputs and
FM and NICAM signals
• Digital crossbar switch
• I2S serial audio output with matrix, level adjust and mute
• Dual audio Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) from
digital crossbar switch to analog crossbar switch,
bandwidth 15 kHz
• Analog crossbar switch with inputs for mono and stereo
• Output selection of mono, stereo, dual, dual A or dual B
• 20 kHz bandwidth for analog path
• Standby mode.
2.1 Supported standards
The multi-standard/multi-stereo capability of the
TDA9874H is mainly of interest in Europe, but also in
Hong Kong/PR China and South East Asia. This includes
B/G, D/K, I, M and L standard. In other application areas
there exist subsets of those standard combinations or only
single standards are transmitted.
Standard M is transmitted in Europe by the American
Forces Network with European channel spacing
(7 MHz VHF, 8 MHz UHF) and monaural sound.
The AM sound of L/L’ standard is normally demodulated in
the 1st sound IF. The resulting AF signal has to be entered
into the mono audio input of the TDA9874H. A second
possibility is to use the internal AM demodulator stage,
giving limited performance.
Korea has a stereo sound system similar to Europe and is
supported by the TDA9874H. 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 systems are sometimes also
named 2CS (2 carrier systems).
2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA9874H is a single-chip Digital TV Sound
Demodulator/Decoder (DTVSD1) for analog and digital
multi-channel sound systems in TV/VCR sets and satellite
receivers.
