TDA 5667-5
Circuit Description
Oscillator
The RF-oscillator is available at pins 3-7. The oscillator operates as a symmetrical
Colpitts circuit. The oscillator chip ground, pin 5, should be connected to ground at the
resonance circuit shielding point. An external oscillator can be injected inductively or
capacitively via pins 3 and 7. The layout of the PCB should be such as to provide a
minimum shielding attenuation between the oscillator pins 3-7 and modulator output pins
13-15 of approximately 80 dB.
For optimal residual carrier suppression, the symmetrical mixer outputs at pins 13, 15
should be connected to a matched balanced-to-unbalanced broadband transformer, e.g.
a Guanella transformer with good phase precision at 0^o and 180^o. The transmission loss
should be less than 3 dB. In addition, an LC-low pass filter combination is required at the
output. The cut-off frequency of the low pass filter combination must exceed the
maximum operating frequency.
Video
The video signal with the negative synchronous level is capacitively connected to pin 10.
The internal clamping circuit is referenced to the synchronizing level. Should the video
signal change by 6 dB, this change will be compensated by the resonance circuit which
is set by the peak white value. At pin 11, the current pulses of the peak white detector are
filtered through the capacitor which also determines the control time constant. The RF-
carrier switches from negative to positive video modulation, when pin 12 is connected
to ground. By varying the value of resistance R at pin 12 between ∞ ... 0 Ω the
modulation depth can be increased from 70% to 100% when the modulation is negative
and decreased from 100% to 70% when the modulation is positive.
Audio
Via pin 1, the audio signal is capacitively coupled to the AF-input for the FM-modulation
of the oscillator. A parallel resonance circuit is connected to the audio carrier oscillator at
pins 17, 18. The unloaded Q of the resonant circuit must be Q = 25 and the parallel
resistor R_T = 8.2 kΩ to ensure a video to audio carrier ratio of 12.5 dB. At the same time,
the capacitative and/or inductive reactance for the resonance frequency should have a
value of X_C ≈ X_L ≈ 800 Ω.
Via pin 16, the audio signal is capacitively coupled to the AF-input for the AM-modulation
of the oscillator. This signal is forwarded to a mixer which is influenced by the AM-
modulation input of pin 16. The video to audio carrier ratio can be changed by connecting
an external voltage to pin 16, which deviates from the internal reference voltage.
Through an additional external dc voltage at pin 16, the set AM-modulation index can be
changed by overriding the internally adjusted control voltage for a fixed AM-modulation
index.
At the output of the above described mixer the FM and/or AM modulated audio signal is
added to the video signal and mixed with the oscillator signal in the RF-mixer.
Source
The internal reference voltage is available at pin 2 and has to be capacitively blocked
there.
