New In Car Entertainment (NICE) car radio
Preliminary specification
TEA6840H
FEATURES
• FM mixer for conversion of FM RF from 65 to 108 MHz
to IF of 10.7 MHz; the mixer provides inherent image
rejection
• FM RF mixer can be set to receive weather band radio
up to 162.55 MHz; weather band radio flag output
• AM mixer 1 for conversion of AM RF to AM IF1
10.7 MHz
• LC tuner oscillator providing mixer frequencies for FM
mixer and AM mixer 1
• AM mixer 2 for conversion of AM IF1 to AM IF2 450 kHz
• Crystal oscillator providing mixer frequencies for AM
mixer 2 and reference for synthesizer PLL, IF count,
timing for Radio Data System (RDS) update and
reference frequency for car audio signal processor IC
• Fast synthesizer PLL tuning system with local control for
inaudible RDS updating
• Timing function for RDS update algorithm and control
signal output for car audio signal processor ICs
(TEA688x, SAA77xx)
• Digital alignment circuit for conversion of LC oscillator
tuning voltage to controlled alignment voltage of FM
antenna tank circuit
• AGC pin diode drive circuit for FM RF AGC; AGC
detection at FM mixer input; the AGC pin diode drive can
be activated by the I2C-bus as a local/distance function;
AGC threshold is a programmable and keyed function
switchable via the I2C-bus
• FM IF linear amplifiers with high dynamic input range
• FM quadrature demodulator with automatic centre
frequency adjustment and Total Harmonic Distortion
(THD) compensation
• Level detector for AM and FM with temperature
compensated output voltage; starting point and slope of
level output is programmable via the I2C-bus
• AM RF pin diode drive circuit; AGC threshold detection
at AM mixer 1 and IF2 AGC input; threshold is
programmable via the I2C-bus; AM IF2 AGC and
demodulator
• AM AF output switchable to provide AM IF2 for AM
stereo decoder
• AM noise blanker with blanking at AM IF2
• Several test modes available for fast IC and system
tests.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TEA6840H is a single chip car radio tuner for AM and
FM intended for microcontroller tuning with the I2C-bus
providing the following functions:
• AM double conversion receiver for LW/MW/SW (31 m,
41 m and 49 m bands) with IF1 = 10.7 MHz and
IF2 = 450 kHz
• FM single conversion receiver with integrated image
rejection for IF = 10.7 MHz capable of selecting US FM,
US weather, Europe FM, East Europe FM and Japan
FM bands.
