Front-End
The Front-End consist of the following key components:
•
Tuner HD1816AF
•
IF demodulator DRX3926K
•
AGC amplifier UPC3221GV
•
SAW filter 36M125.
Below find a block diagram of the front-end application.

The DRX3926K is a multi-standard demodulator supporting
DVB-C, DVB-T and analogue standards. The demodulated
digital stream is fed into the parallel transport stream data ports
of the PNX8543. The demodulated analogue signal in the form
of CVBS is connected to the analogue video CVBS/Y input
channel, while the SIF is connected via the SSIF2 positive input
port.

HDMI
In this platform, the TDA9996 HDMI multiplexer is
implemented. The EDID contents are no longer stored in a
separate EEPROM, but directly in the multiplexer. Each input
has its own physical sub address: the first 253 bytes are
common, where the last 3 bytes define the specific input. The
EDID contents are, at +5V power-up, downloaded to RAM. The
following figures show the HDMI input configuration and EDID
control.

Some delta's w.r.t. TDA9996 compared to earlier chassis/
platforms are:
•
+5V detection mechanism
•
stable clock detection mechanism
•
integrated EDID
•
RT control
•
HPD control
•
TMDS output control
•
CEC control
•
new hot-plug control for PNX8543 for 5th HDMI input
•
new EDID structure: EDID stored in TDA9996, therefore
there are no EDID pins on the SSB. Only in the event of a
5th HDMI input, an additional EEPROM is foreseen, as
was implemented in previous platforms.
Some delta's with respect to PNX8543 compared to earlier
chassis/platforms are:
•
2 HDMI inputs (A & B)
•
HDMI deep colour RGB/YCbCr 4:4:1 10/12 bit detection.
After replacement of the TDA9996 HDMI multiplexer, the
2
default I
and the HDMI EDIDs should be reprogrammed as well. Both
actions should be executed via ComPair.
