• clock oscillator
The clock frequency is generated around IC7600. Using 2 extra transistors (7602 and 7608) and 2 ceramic resonators it can be operated at
2 frequencies: 602.7kHz and 700kHz. The frequency is selected by the signal "FREQ_HOP" coming from connector 1301 pin 9.
When FREQ_HOP is low, the output of 7600-1 will be high. This switches transistor 7602 on, and connects resonator 1600 (602.7kHz) to inverter
7600-3. Similarly, when FREQ_HOP is high, resonator 1601 is connected to 7600-3.
The output frequency is divided by two by IC7607, resulting in 301.35kHz or 350kHz.
The purpose of a selectable clock frequency is related to the disturbance of the tuner which is built-in together with this amplifier. In MW, the
software of the set microprocessor will select the other clock frequency in case the amplifier clock interferes with the tuned station.
• Class-D amplifier TDA8920 and low-pass filter
The TDA8920 is a two channel audio power amplifier using class-D technology. The audio input signal is converted into a digital Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) signal via an analog input stage and PWM modulator. It is then fed to the power stage which outputs a high power PWM
signal which switches between the main supply lines.
The TDA8920 is followed by a 2nd-order low-pass filter. It has a cut-off frequency around 50kHz and converts the PWM signal into analog audio
signal across the loudspeaker.
The TDA8920 has a temperature protection and a current limiter built-in.
Furthermore, the IC can be put in active, mute and standby mode.
- Active mode (amplifier fully operational) with output signal.
- Mute mode; the amplifiers are operational, but the audio is muted
- Standby mode; with a very low supply current, the output stage is switched off.
• DC-detection
The DC-detection circuit monitors all 6 outputs for DC. Whenever one or more outputs contain DC for more than 1 second, the circuit will be
activated. A positive voltage will activate transistor 7710 and pin 10 of connector 1301 will be pulled down. In case of a negative voltage, transistor
7716 will be activated, which in turn activates 7710. The set microprocessor will take further action.
