Integrated car radio Functional description
7.1 FM mixer 1

The FM quadrature mixer 1 converts FM RF (65 MHz to 108 MHz) to an IF frequency of
10.7 MHz. The FM mixer provides image rejection and a large dynamic range. Low and
high injection Local Oscillator (LO) can be selected via the I2 C-bus.
7.2 FM RF AGC

AGC detection at the FM front-end mixer input with programmable threshold. When the
threshold is exceeded, the PIN diode drive circuit sources a current to an external PIN
diode circuit, keeping the RF signal level constant. Keyed AGC function is selectable via
the I2 C-bus and uses the in-band level information derived from the limiter. The AGC PIN
diode drive circuit can optionally deliver a fixed current; this local mode can be used for
search tuningon absolute RF levels.In AM mode, the FM AGC PIN diode drive circuit can
be set to source a fixed current into the external FM PIN diode circuitry.
7.3 FM mixer 2

The FM quadrature mixer 2 converts 10.7 MHz IF1 to 450 kHz IF2 and includes image
rejection with the integrated channel filter. Two gain settings can be selected to
compensate for high ceramic filter insertion loss.
7.4 FM IF2 channel filter

The order and dynamic range of the FM IF2 channel filter is designed for operation with
only one external ceramic filter. The filter characteristic is optimized to combine high
selectivity with low distortion. The bandwidth of the filter can be set to a range of fixed
settingsor automatically via the bandwidth control algorithm. When the automatic modeis
selected the bandwidth depends on the signal conditions.

7.5 FM limiter and level detection

The limiter amplifies theIF filter output signal, removes AM modulations from theIF signal
and suppliesa well defined signalfor the FM demodulator. From the limiter also the Radio
Signal Strength Information (RSSI)is derived whichis convertedtoa suitable level voltage
with minimum temperature drift.
7.6 FM demodulator

The fully integrated FM demodulator converts the IF signal from the limiter to the multiplex output signal with low distortion.
7.7 Center frequency and bandwidth tuning and center frequency DAA

The center frequency as well as the bandwidth of both the IF filter and demodulator are
coupled to the crystal reference frequency. A coarse alignment (IFCAP) sets the circuit
operating range and the center frequency fine adjustment is achieved with a 6-bit
alignment (IFCF).
7.8 Bandwidth control algorithm

The bandwidth of the IF filter can be selected with 5 bits, directly via I2 C-bus or
automatically via the bandwidth control algorithm. The bandwidth control algorithm
detects the amount of adjacent channel interference, the deviation of the desired signal,
detuning, multipath and signal strength to define the optimum bandwidth setting of the filter. Flexibility on the algorithm settings is provided via the I2 C-bus control.
7.9 VCO and dividers

The varactor tuned LC oscillator together with the dividers provides the local oscillator
signal for both AM and FM front-end mixers. The VCO has an operating frequency of
approximately 160 MHzto 250 MHz.In FM mode the VCO frequencyis dividedby2or3.
These dividers generate in-phase and quadrature-phase output signals used in the front-end mixerfor image rejection.In AM mode the VCO frequencyis dividedby6,8,
10,16or20 dependingon the selected AM band. The amplitudeof the VCOis controlled
by a digital AGC to ensure a safe oscillation start-up at a wide range of the loaded Q.
7.10 Crystal oscillator

The crystal oscillator provides a 20.5 MHz signal. A divider-by-two generates in-phase
and quadrature-phase mixer frequencies for the conversion from IF1 to IF2 including
image rejection. The reference divider generates from the crystal frequency various
reference frequencies for the tuning PLL. Also timing signals for the sequential machine
as well as references for the integrated FM channel filter, the stereo decoder and the
integrated audio filters and the RDS demodulator are derived from the crystal reference.
7.11 Tuning PLL

The tuning PLL locks the VCO frequency dividedby the programmable divider ratioto the
reference frequency. Due to the combination of different charge pump signals in the
PLL loop filter, the loop parameters are adapted dynamically. T uning to different frequencies is done by changing the programmable divider ratio. The tuning step size
is selected with the reference frequency divider setting.
NXP Semiconductors TEF6901A
Integrated car radio
7.12 Antenna DAA

For FM operation the antenna Digital Auto Alignment (DAA) measures the VCO tuning
voltage and multipliesit witha factor definedby the 7-bit DAA settingto generatea tuning
voltage for the FM antenna tank circuit (RF selectivity). In AM mode the DAA setting
controls a fixed voltage.
7.13 AM RF AGC control

The AM front-end is designed for the application of an external Junction Field Effect
Transistor (JFET) low noise amplifier with cascode AGC and PIN diode AGC both
controlledbyan integrated AGC control circuit. Four AGC thresholdsof the detectorat the
first mixer input are selectable via I2 C-bus. Detectors at the RF mixer input and at the
AMIF2 input prevent undesired overload (see Figure 40). AGC information can be read
out via I2 C-bus. The PIN diode current drive circuit includes a pull-up current source for
reverse biasing of the PIN diode, when the AGC is not active to achieve a low parasitic
capacitance.
7.14 AM mixer 1

The large dynamic range AM mixer converts AM RF (144 kHz to 26.1 MHz) to an IF
frequency of 10.7 MHz.
7.15 AM IF noise blanker

The spike detectionfor the AMIF noise blankerisat the outputof the AM front-end mixer.
Blanking is realized at the second AM mixer.
7.16 AM IF AGC amplifier and demodulator

The 450 kHz IF2 signal after the ceramic channel selection filter is amplified by the AGC amplifier and demodulated.
7.17 AM level detection

The IF2 signal usedfor AMIF AGC and demodulationis also usedin the limiter circuitfor
in-band level detection.
7.18 AM and FM level DAA

The start and slope of the level detector output are programmable to achieve level
information independent of gain spread in the signal channel.
7.19 AM and FM IF counter

The output signal from the limiter is used for IF counting in both AM and FM.
7.20 Tuning mute

A soft slope tuning mute is controlled by the sequential machine for different tuning
actions to eliminate audible effects of tuning and band switching.
NXP Semiconductors TEF6901A
Integrated car radio
7.21 FM stereo decoder

A low-pass filter provides additional suppression of high frequency interferences at the
stereo decoder input and the necessary signal delay for FM noise blanking.
The MPX signal is decoded in the stereo decoder part. An integrated oscillator and pilot
PLL is used for the regeneration of the 38 kHz subcarrier. The required 19 kHz
and38 kHz signals are generated by division of the oscillator output signal in logic
circuitry.
By means of a 19 kHz quadrature detector the pilot PLL oscillator frequency is locked to
the incoming 19 kHz stereo pilot. A pilot level voltage derived from a 19 kHz in-phase
detector is used for stereo detection and for generation of an anti-phase 19 kHz signal to
remove the pilot tone from the audio signal.
The signalis then decodedin the decoder part. The L-R side signalis demodulated using
the 38 kHz subcarrier and combined with the main signal to the left and right audio
channel.A fine adjustmentis doneby adjusting the gainof the L-R signal.A smooth mono
to stereo takeover is achieved by controlling the efficiency of the matrix by the Stereo
Noise Control (SNC) signal from the weak signal processing block.
7.22 FM and AM AF noise blanker

The FMor AM tuner operation selects between two noise blanker operations optimizedfor
FM or AM ignition noise suppression.
In FM mode the noise blanker operates as a modified sample and hold circuit with
ultrasonic noise detection on MPX and detection of noise spikes on level. AM mode the audio signalis muted during the interference pulse triggeredby slew-rate
detection of the audio signal.
7.23 Fixed high cut and high cut control

The high cut part is a low-pass filter circuit with seven bandwidth settings. The cut-off
frequenciesof the filter curves canbe selectedto match different application requirements
(fixed high cut).
The high cut circuit also provides a dynamic control of the filter response, the High Cut
Control (HCC). This function is controlled by the HCC signal from the weak signal
processing.
7.24 De-emphasis

The signal passes the low-pass filter de-emphasis block and is then fed to the source
selector. The de-emphasis time constant canbe selected between the standardsof50μs
and 75 μs.
7.25 Weak signal processing

The weak signal processing block detects quality degradationsin the incoming signal and
controls the processingof the audio signal accordingly. The weak signal processing block
has three different quality criteria: The average valueof the level voltage, AM components
on the level voltage (WAM = wideband AM) and high frequency components in the MPX
signal (USN = ultrasonic noise).
NXP Semiconductors TEF6901A
Integrated car radio
the weak signal processing block these signals are combinedin specific ways and used
for the generation of control signals for soft mute, stereo blend (SNC= stereo noise
control) and HCC. Detector time constants of soft mute, HCC and SNC can be selected
independently.
In AM mode, soft mute and HCC are controlled by the average value of the level voltage.
7.26 Audio step interpolation

The tone/volume blocks of source selector, volume/balance, bass/loudness, fader and
output mute include the Audio Step Interpolation (ASI) function. This minimizes audible
pops by smoothing the transitions in the audio signal during the switching of the controls.
7.27 Source selector

The source selector selects one out of several input sources: One internal stereo signal (AM/FM tuner) Seven input pins allow many combinations of external sources by means of flexible
input selection
Three of the seven input pins can connect to: 1 stereo signal with ground input for common mode rejection (CD) 1 stereo signal and 1 mono signal
Four more input pins can connect to: 1 stereo signal (AUX) and 1 mono signal with common mode rejection or
differential input (PHONE) 1 stereo signal (AUX) and 2 mono signals (e.g. NAV and BEEP) 2 stereo signals (AUX and AUX-2) 1 stereo signal with common mode rejection (CD-2) and 1 mono signal (e.g.
BEEP) 1 stereo signal with differential input (CD-symmetrical)
7.28 VU-meter read

The input audio level of external sources can read out via the I2 C-bus. Audio level
information is available on a logarithmic scale. In radio mode the AM or FM modulation
index is available in the same way.
7.29 Volume and balance

The volume/balance control is used for volume setting and also for balance adjustment.
The control range of the volume/balance control is between +20 dB and −75 dB in steps
of 1 dB.
7.30 CD compression

Dynamic volume compression is available for external input sources. This option is
generally usedfor audio from CDor other digital formatsto reduce the very high dynamic
range of these signals into a range suitable for the car environment.
NXP Semiconductors TEF6901A
Integrated car radio
7.31 Bass

The bass tone control stage controls the low audio frequencies with a modified shelve
curve response. The control range is between +14 dB and −14 dB in steps of 2 dB. Four
different filter cut-off frequencies can be selected.
7.32 Treble

The treble tone control stage controls the high audio frequencies with a shelve curve
response. The control range is between +14 dB and −14 dB in steps of 2 dB. Four
different filter cut-off frequencies can be selected.
7.33 Loudness
integrated loudness function canbe activated which controls bass and treblein relation
to the user volume setting. The control range of the bass frequencies is limited to 20 dB
and the optional treble range to 4 dB. Different volume ranges can be selected for the
loudness control.
7.34 Fader

The fader is located at the end of the tone/volume chain. The balance between the front
and rear channel can be controlled by attenuation of either the front or the rear channel.
Control range is 0 dB to −64 dB with a step size of 1 dB. Optionally the fader attenuation
can be activated for front and rear channels together.
7.35 RDS/RBDS demodulator

The RDS demodulator recovers and regenerates the continuously transmitted RDS or
RBDS data stream that maybe partof the FM MPX signal and provides the signals clock
(RDCL) and data (RDDA)for further processingbya hardwareor software RDS decoder.
Unbuffered demodulator output and buffered 16-bit output mode are available. The output
modes are compatible with stand-alone demodulator devicesas wellas digital and analog
signal processor standards. In case of buffered output mode additional RDS Quality
(RDQ) demodulation quality information is available optional. I2 C-bus protocol
SDA and SCL HIGH and LOW internal thresholds are specified according to both 2.5 V
and 3.3VI2 C-bus, however also SDA and SCL signals froma5Vbus are supported. The
maximum I2 C-bus communication speed is 400 kbit/s in accordance with the I2 C-bus fast
mode specification.

8.1 Read mode
Application restriction to use the read mode: Read transmissions should not be

stopped after read byte 4 (IFBW) since this will disturb level read-out, weak signal
processing and bandwidth control. Read transmission can be stopped after any of the
other read bytes0to 3, 5 or 6.
The read datais loaded into theI2 C-bus output registerat the ACK clock pulse preceding
the data byte.

After a tuning action, which is activated by the state machine, the IF counter is reset at
that moment when tuning is established (PLL in-lock). The first counter result is available
from2 ms after reset. For FM further results canbe obtained from4 ms,8 ms,16 ms and ms after reset, the increasing count time attenuates influenceof FM modulationon the
counter result. After this, the counter continuesat the maximum count timeof32 ms (see

After AF update sampling the level read value is held (indicated by IFCM = 10) for easy2 C-bus read-out. The level detector remains activein the background. The LEV data hold
is released after I2 C-bus read.
To reduce the influence of modulation in AM mode the LEV information is additionally
filtered by a slow 60 ms detector. Fast level information is made available during update and check tuning.
For standard operation the following level alignment (byte LEVELALGN; see Table 43) is
used:

8.2 Write mode

The device is controlled by the I2 C-bus. After the Integrated Circuit (IC) address the MSA
byte contains the control of the tuning action via the bits MODE[2:0] and subaddressing
via bits SA[4:0] (see Figure8).
All circuits are controlled by the CONTROL register. Any data change in the CONTROL
register has immediate effect and will change the operationof the circuit accordingly. The
subaddress range 00h to 05h includes data that may lead to audible disturbance when
changed. Therefore the subaddress range 00h to 05h is not loaded in the CONTROL
register directly but loaded in a BUFFER register instead. This allows the IC to take care tuning actions and mute control, freeing the microcontroller from cumbersome controls
and timings. The subaddress range of 06h onwards does not contain such critical data.2 C-bus information in this range will be loaded in the CONTROL register directly (at
acknowledge of each byte).
Controlled by a state machine the BUFFER data will be loaded in the CONTROL register
for new settings. Howeverat the same time the CONTROL datais loadedin the BUFFER
register. This register swap action allowsa fast returnto the previous setting because the
previous data remains available in the BUFFER register (see Figure 10, Figure 11 and
Figure 12).
Via MODE several operational modes canbe selectedfor the state machine. MODE offers
all standard tuning actions as well as generic control for flexibility. The state machine
controls the tuner directly by controlling the I2 C-bus data. Internal circuits like the IF
counter, mute and weak signal processing are controlled complementary to the tuner
action. The state machine operation startsat the endof transmission(P= STOP).In case
a previous action is still active this is overruled and the new action defined by MODE is
started immediately.
When only the address byteis transmittedno actionis started andno settingis changed,
this can be used to test the presence of the device on the bus. To minimize the I2 C-bus
transmission time only bytes that include data changes need to be written. Following the
MSA byte the transmission can start at any given data byte defined by the subaddress
(SA) bits. In case of MODE = preset, search or load the value of buffered data that is not
overwrittenby the new transmission will equal the control register content, i.e. the current
tuner state. Instead in case of MODE = buffer, AF update, jump, check or end any not
overwritten BUFFER data remains to be the existing BUFFER register content, i.e. the
previous tuner state.

After power-on reset, all registers, including the reserved registers, should be initialized
with their default settings (see Table 22) usinga preset mode tuning action (see Table 25).
The tuning mute circuitis muted. An actionof the state machineis requiredto de-mute the
circuit, for this purpose preset mode (bits MODE[2:0] = 001) is best fitted since it assures
fast settling of all parameters before mute is released.

Since buffer mode (bits MODE[2:0] = 000) does not change any tuner action or register
other then those defined by the I2 C-bus write transmission it generally is the mode used
for writing outside the buffered subaddress range (i.e. bits SA[4:0] = 06h to 1Fh). Writing
in the subaddress range of 06h to 1Fh is executed immediately and is not controlled by
the state machine. Load mode does not interrupt a state machine process, the preload
action changes the content of the BUFFER register which may interfere with a tuner
action in progress.
When a new state machine tuning action is started during a mute state of the state
machine, the new action skips the unnecessary activationof mute and starts immediately
with the actions that follow the mute period in the standard sequence. In this way fastest
timing is possible e.g. for search tuning (see Figure 14, Figure 16, Figure 20 and
Figure 22). When AF update mode is started during a mute state only the return tuning
action will be performed; in combination with check mode an AF update can be created
with the AF sampling time defined by I2 C-bus control (see Figure 18).
The FM IF2 signal path contains a digital controlled AGC function with a maximum AGC
decay time of 13 ms to realize sufficient AM suppression during changing signal
conditions and high modulation situations. During the settling of the AGC (e.g. after a
tuning action), the gain of the FM path and the level detection can be affected. To get
correct signal quality information, a minimum time of 13 ms should be used between two
tuning actions.

8.2.8 Write mode: data byte LEVELALGN

For I2 C-bus reading of the level voltage and standard alignment see read data byte 1
(see Table 10).
Level alignment should begin with slope alignment (LSL): the level slope does not change
with level start alignment (LST) or broadcast band; therefore a single LSL alignment
setting can be used for all FM and AM band selections.
Level start may change between broadcast bands; therefore generally a separate LST
alignment and setting is used for every broadcast band.

The fully integrated IF2 filter of the TEF6901A has to be aligned in order to achieve the
optimum performance at all ambient conditions.
8.2.10.1 Factory alignment of bits IFCAP[3:0]

FM IF filter operation point alignment: data byte IFCAP: a single alignment of the FM IF
filter operation range secures an accurate and continuous frequency setting over the full
temperature range and all FM bands. Set bit IFCAPA to logic 1 to disable internal IFCAP control Decrease IFCAP from 15 downwards until I2 C-bus read bit IFCAPG (read byte 5; ID)
changes from logic 1 to logic0 Save this IFCAP setting as alignment value Set bit IFCAPA to logic 0 to return to normal operation
8.2.10.2 Initialization of the radio

During radio initialization bit IFCAPA (is logic 1) is used for writing the stored IFCAP[3:0]
value. Afterwards set bit IFCAPA to a logic 0 to start normal operation. Writing of the
IFCAP byte with the alignment value is allowed during radio operation but requires a
setting of bit IFCAPA to logic 0.
8.2.10.3 Factory alignment of IFCF

FM IF filter center frequency alignment: data byte IFCF: to correct IF frequency errors
causedbyan errorin the crystal frequency the alignmentis preferably performedfor every
FM band in use. A test frequency in the center of the band is preferred. An accurate
alignment result is realized by testing for symmetrical filter attenuation. Set RF generator level VRF= 200 μV Set bit IFCFA to logic 1 to enable fast settling of the filter frequency Set bit IFNBW to logic 1 for accuracy (filter is set to narrow 57 kHz bandwidth) Test high side of filter curve: tune to fRF − 50 kHz (Europe/USA) or fRF + 33.3 kHz
(Japan/OIRT) Change IFCF from 0 to 63 and note the level read result (level voltages) Test low side of filter curve: tune to fRF + 50 kHz (Europe/USA) or fRF − 33.3 kHz
(Japan/OIRT) Change IFCF from 0 to 63 and note the level voltages Find the IFCF value where both level curves cross (lowest difference) and save this
IFCF value
