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 I
For the TDA 884X devices the video switch configuration
is identical to the switch of the TDA 8374/75 series. So the
circuit has one CVBS output (amplitude of 2 V
TDA 884X series) and the I
of the TDA 8374/75. For the TDA 885X IC’s the video
switch circuit has a second output (amplitude of 1 V
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.

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 I
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 I
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.

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.
