1 FEATURES
1.1 Demodulator and decoder section
• Sound IF (SIF) input switch e.g. to select between
terrestrial TV SIF and SAT SIF sources
• SIF AGC with 24 dB control range
• SIF 8-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
• Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK)
demodulation for different standards, simultaneously
with 1-channel FM demodulation
• Near Instantaneous Companded Audio Multiplex
(NICAM) decoding (B/G, I and L standard)
• Two-carrier multistandard FM demodulation
(B/G, D/K and M standard)
• Decoding for three analog multi-channel systems
(A2, A2+ and A2*) and satellite sound
• Optional AM demodulation for system L, simultaneously
with NICAM
• Programmable identification (B/G, D/K and M standard)
and different identification times.
1.2 DSP section
• Digital crossbar switch for all digital signal sources and
destinations
• Control of volume, balance, contour, bass, treble,
pseudo stereo, spatial, bass boost and soft mute
• Plop-free volume control
• Automatic Volume Level (AVL) control
• Adaptive de-emphasis for satellite
• Programmable beeper
• Monitor selection for FM/AM DC values and signals,
with peak detection option
• I2S-bus interface for a feature extension (e.g. Dolby Pro
Logic) with matrix, level adjust and mute.
1.3 Analog audio section
• Analog crossbar switch with inputs for mono and stereo
(also applicable as SCART 3 input), SCART 1
input/output, SCART 2 input/output and line output
• User defined full-level/−3 dB scaling for SCART outputs
• Output selection of mono, stereo, dual A/B, dual A or
dual B
• 20 kHz bandwidth for SCART-to-SCART copies
• Standby mode with function for SCART copies
• Dual audio Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) from DSP
to analog crossbar switch, bandwidth 15 kHz
• Dual audio ADC from analog inputs to DSP
• Two dual audio DACs for loudspeaker (Main) and
headphone (Auxiliary) outputs; also applicable for
L, R, C and S in the Dolby Pro Logic mode with feature
extension.
2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA9875A is a single-chip Digital TV Sound
Processor (DTVSP) for analog and digital multi-channel
sound systems in TV sets and satellite receivers.
2.1 Supported standards
The multistandard/multi-stereo capability of the
TDA9875A 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
standards. In other application areas there exists only
subsets of these 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 and 8 MHz UHF) and monaural sound.
The AM sound of L/L accent standard is normally
demodulated in the first sound IF. The resulting AF signal
has to be entered into the mono audio input of the
TDA9875A. A second possibility is to use the internal
AM demodulator stage, however this gives limited
performance.
Korea has a stereo sound system similar to Europe and is
supported by the TDA9875A. The 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 2-Carrier Systems (2CS).
