2. FUNCTION OF EACH BLOCK
In the US, TV audio signals are broadcast in FM modulation. The stereo (L–R), Sub Audio Program (SAP) and
telemetry signals are multiplexed in a higher frequency band than the monaural (L+R) signal (50 Hz to 15 kHz).
The US MTS system base-band spectrum is described before:

µPC1876
2.1 Stereo Demodulation Block
(1) Stereo LPF
Filter eliminates the Sub Audio Program (SAP) signal (5 fH) and telemetry signal (6.5 fH) residing anywhere around
5 to 6 fH.
The internal L–R demodulator, which uses the double-balanced circuit, demodulates L–R signal by multiplication
of L–R signal with the signal at L–R carrier frequency (2 fH). The L–R signal tends to be interfered by the 6 fH
signal because a square waveform is used as the switching carrier in this method. To eliminate the interference,
the µPC1876 incorporates 5 fH and 6 fH traps.
Adjust the current value output from the FLTA pin for the filter response.
(2) Stereo phase comparator
The 8 fH signal generated at the stereo VCO is divided by 8 (4 × 2) and then multiplies it with the pilot signal passed
through the stereo LPF. The two signals differ from each other by 90 degrees in terms of phase.
The resistor and capacitor connected to the φ D1 and φ D2 pins form a filter which smoothes the phase error signal
output from the phase comparator, converting the error signal to the DC voltage. When the voltage difference
between the φ D1 and φ D2 pins becomes 0 V (strictly speaking, not 0 V by the internal offset voltage), the stereo
VCO runs at 8 fH.
The lag/lead filter externally connected to the φ D1, φ D2 pins determines the capture range.
(3) Stereo VCO
Runs at 8 fH with the internal capacitor. Adjust the current value output from the STVA pin for the frequency.
(4) Divider (Flip-flop)
Produces the inphase fH signal and the fH signal which is different 90 degrees from the input pilot signal by dividing
the 8 fH frequency by 4 × 2 from the stereo VCO.
(5) Pilot discrimination phase comparator (Level detector)
Multiplies the pilot signal from the COM pin with the inphase fH signal from the divider. The produced signal is
applied to the external filter connected to the PD1, PD2 pins. The signal is smoothed out to make DC voltage
for judging whether to turn on or off the stereo LED.
(6) Pilot canceller
The fH signal from the divider is added in the stereo signal at the resistor matrix depending on the level of the
input pilot signal to cancel the pilot signal.
(7) L+R LPF
This LPF, having traps at fH and 24 kHz each, allows only the monaural signal to pass through. The filter response
is adjusted by the current value output from the FLTA pin.
(8) De-emphasis
75 µs de-emphasis filter for the monaural signal. The filter response is adjusted by the current value output from
the FLTA pin.
(9) L–R AM demodulator
Demodulates the L–R AM-DSB modulated signal by multiplying with the 2fH signal which is synchronized to the
pilot signal. The 2 fH square wave is used as the switching carrier.

Data Sheet S11666EJ4V0DS00
µPC1876
2.2 SAP Demodulation Block
(1) SAP BPF
Picks up the SAP signal by the 50 kHz and 102 kHz traps, and response peak at 5 fH.
Adjust the current value output from the FLTA pin for the filter response.
(2) Noise BPF
The µPC1876 monitors signals picked up by noise BPF (fO ≅ 180 kHz), and distinguish noises from signals. By
this method, the µPC1876 prevents misoperating on SAP detection in a weak electric field.
Adjust the current value output from the FLTA pin for the filter response.
(3) Noise detector
Performs full-wave rectification of noise which has passed through noise BPF to change it to the DC voltage and
input it to comparator. When the noise level exceeds the reference level, the stereo LED and SAP LED are turned
off, and the stereo and SAP demodulation are stopped.
Adjust the value of the resistor and capacitor connected to the NDT pin for the sensitivity and time constant of
the noise detection circuit.
(4) SAP detector
Performs synchronized detection of the SAP signal which has passed through the SAP BPF, and smoothes it
with the SDT pin and input it to the comparator. When receiving the SAP signal, the SAP LED is turned on.
(5) SAP demodulator
The SAP demodulator consists of the phase detector, loop filter, and SAP VCO (PLL detection circuit).
The SAP VCO oscillates at 10 fH, and performs phase comparison between the signal divided by 2 of the SAP
VCO frequency and the SAP signal to make the PLL loop. Adjust the current value output from the SAPVA pin
for the frequency of the SAP VCO.
(6) SAP LPF
Eliminates the SAP carrier and higher frequency buzz. The filter consists of a secondary LPF and fH trap filter.
Adjust the current value output from the FLTA pin for the filter response.
2.3 dbx Noise Reduction Block
All the filters required for the TV-dbx noise reduction are incorporated. Adjust the current value output from the
FLTA pin for these filter responses.
(1) LPF
The LPF has traps at fH and 24 kHz each. The fH trap filter minimizes interference to the dbx noise reduction
by the fH signal which is not synchronized with the pilot signal (e.g. leakage of the synchronous idle and buzz
from the video signal).

to the DC voltage. The timing (release time) is determined by the current inside the µPC1876 (IT) and the
capacitance of the external capacitor connected to the WTI pin. Set IT by the current value output from ITI pin
for the setting of IT.
2.4 Matrix Block
(1) Matrix
Adds L+R signal and L–R signal to output L signal and subtracts L+R signal from L–R signal to output R signal.
(2) Mode selector
Selects the user selected mode among the monaural, stereo, SAP signals, and mute, and outputs it from the ROT
and LOT pins.

L CHANNEL OUTPUT
15 Ω
Scattering rate of impedance is about ±30%.
4.2 Output Load Impedance
If the L CHANNEL OUTPUT pin and the R CHANNEL OUTPUT pin are connected to GND through 10 kΩ resistor,
they can drive 700 Ω load impedance.
And, when connecting a load capacitance over 100 pF to the L/R CHANNEL OUTPUT pins, parasitic oscillation
can cause. In this case, insert a resistor between the L/R CHANNEL OUTPUT pins and the load capacitance. Note
that the load capacitance changes by printed-wiring pattern of set.
Caution To insert the DC load resistor (RL) between the L/R CHANNEL OUTPUT pins and GND, the RL should
be equal or more than 3 kΩ. Note that the DC current increments 4.5/RL [A] per one output pin when
inserting the RL, because the medium potential is 4.5 V (VCC = 9 V).
If the RL is less than 3 kΩ, the distortion rate may become worse extremely.

4.3 Cautions on External Components
For stable temperature characteristics of stereo VCO, SAP VCO and filter, use the following for external
components.
Pin name
External parts
SAP VCO SETTING
Metal film resistor (±1%),
FILTER ADJUSTMENT
Cermet (Variable resistor) (±10%)
STEREO VCO SETTING
According to the license contract with THAT Corporation, use the following for external components.
With regard to the use of other external components, please contact to THAT Corporation.
Pin name
External parts
TIMING CURRENT SETTING
Metal film resistor (±1%)
WIDE BAND RMS TIMING
Tantalum capacitor (±10%)
SPECTRAL RMS TIMING
4.4 Change of Electrical Characteristics Depending on External Components
• SAP sensitivity can be down by inserting a resistor between the SAP DISCRIMINATION FILTER pin and GND.
• Stereo sensitivity can be down by inserting a resistor between the STEREO VCO FREE-RUN MONITOR SWITCH
pin and GND.
• Noise sensitivity can be changed by changing a resistor between the NOISE DETECTION FILTER pin and GND.
• Capture range can be changed by changing capacitor between the PHASE COMPARATOR FILTER pins φD1 and
φD2. The smaller capacitor is, the wider capture range is, and the larger capacitor is, the narrower capture range
is. Please be careful because stereo distortion rate become worse if capacitor is too small.
• In case noise detection circuit doesn’t operate with stereo, it is necessary that capacitor between the PILOT
DISCRIMINATION FILTER pins is about 2.2 µF (Protection for miss operation in the weak electric field). The time
for changing to stereo, become longer if capacitor is too large.
4.5 BIAS (1.5 V) Pin
The BIAS (1.5 V) pin is the bias pin when adjusting the SAP VCO SETTING, the FILTER ADJUSTMENT, the
STEREO VCO SETTING, the WIDE BAND RMS SETTING, and the SPECTRAL RMS SETTING pins with lasertrimming.

5. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Precise alignment of the dbx decoder is absolutely critical for optimum performance. Where possible, the alignment
should be performed after the µPC1876 is mounted in the chassis and with the video system active.
5.1 Stereo VCO Adjustment
Perform this adjustment with no signal applied.
(1) Set the STEREO VCO FREE-RUN MONITOR SWITCH pin “H” by connecting it to the VCC.
(2) Measure the frequency of the STEREO LED DRIVER/STEREO VCO FREE-RUN MONITOR pin with a frequency
counter, and adjust the variable resistor connected to the STEREO VCO SETTING pin for a measured frequency
of 15.734 kHz ±50 Hz.
(3) Set the STEREO VCO FREE-RUN MONITOR SWITCH pin unconnected.
5.2 Filter Adjustment
Perform this adjustment with the MATRIX MUTE pin “L” and the STEREO VCO FREE-RUN MONITOR SWITCH
pin unconnected.
(1) Short the capacitor across the PILOT DISCRIMINATION FILTER (PD1 and PD2) pins by connecting these pins
together directly.
(2) Apply a 15.734 kHz sin wave signal to the COMPOSITE SIGNAL INPUT pin at a level greater than 30 mVr.m.s.
(100 mVr.m.s. is recommended).
(3) Adjust the variable resistor connected to the FILTER ADJUSTMENT pin so that the AC output level at the RMS
OFFSET ABSORPTION pin is minimized. This signal is best monitored through a band-pass filter (15.734 kHz).
A recommended circuit is shown in 7. MEASURING CIRCUIT.
(4) Disconnect the short circuit across the PILOT DISCRIMINATION FILTER (PD1 and PD2) pins after adjustment.
5.3 Separation Adjustment
Perform this adjustment with the MATRIX MUTE pin “L”, the STEREO VCO FREE-RUN MONITOR SWITCH pin
unconnected, and the F-MONAURAL SELECTION pin “H”.
Verify that a L+R signal (100% modulation, 300 Hz, without noise reduction, pilot signal off) results in approximately
150 mVr.m.s. at the COMPOSITE SIGNAL INPUT pin, and that a pilot-only signal results in approximately 30 mVr.m.s.
at the COMPOSITE SIGNAL INPUT pin.
(1) Apply a composite signal (30% modulation, 300 Hz, L-only, with noise reduction) to the COMPOSITE SIGNAL
INPUT pin.
(2) Adjust the variable resistor connected to the WIDE-BAND RMS SETTING pin so that the output at the R CHANNEL
OUTPUT pin is minimized.
(3) Apply a composite signal (30% modulation, 3 kHz, L-only, with noise reduction) to the COMPOSITE SIGNAL
INPUT pin.
(4) Adjust the variable resistor connected to the SPECTRAL RMS SETTING pin so that the output at the R CHANNEL
OUTPUT pin is minimized.
(5) Repeat steps (1) and (2).
Caution Be sure to perform step (5).

µPC1876
5.4 SAP VCO Adjustment
Perform this adjustment with the filter unless otherwise recommended.
Be sure to adjust SAP VCO after 5.2. Filter adjustment.
Usually, the filter and SAP VCO are adjusted simultaneously. For this reason, when this adjustment is performed,
the applications of the SAP VCO SETTING pin and the FILTER ADJUSTMENT pin are modified to add variable
resistor.
(1) Input no signal to the COMPOSITE SIGNAL INPUT pin and measure the DC voltage of the SAP SINGLE OUTPUT
pin.
(2) Input SAP signal (5 fH, no modulation) to the COMPOSITE SIGNAL INPUT pin. Adjust the variable resistor
connected to the SAP VCO SETTING pin so that the DC voltage of the SAP SINGLE OUTPUT pin may match
with the DC voltage measured in step (1).

redundancy, fire-containment, and anti-failure features.
• NEC semiconductor products are classified into the following three quality grades:
"Standard", "Special" and "Specific". The "Specific" quality grade applies only to semiconductor products
developed based on a customer-designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The
recommended applications of a semiconductor product depend on its quality grade, as indicated below.
Customers must check the quality grade of each semiconductor product before using it in a particular
application.
"Standard": Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, audio
and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic equipment
and industrial robots
"Special": Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster
systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed
for life support)
"Specific": Aircraft, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
support systems and medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC semiconductor products is "Standard" unless otherwise expressly specified in NEC's
data sheets or data books, etc. If customers wish to use NEC semiconductor products in applications not
intended by NEC, they must contact an NEC sales representative in advance to determine NEC's willingness
to support a given application.
(Note)
(1) "NEC" as used in this statement means NEC Corporation and also includes its majority-owned subsidiaries.
(2) "NEC semiconductor products" means any semiconductor product developed or manufactured by or for
NEC (as defined above).
