FSK_DEMODULATOR_WITH_CARRIER_DETECT

Published:2009/7/14 5:00:00 Author:May

Exar XR-2211 FSK demodulator operating with PLL provides choice of outputs when carder is present; pin 5 goes low and pin 6 goes high when carrier is detected. With pins 6 and 7 connected, output from these pins provides data when FSK is applied but is low when no carrier is present. Circuit performance is independent of input signal strength over range of 2 mV to 3 VRMS. Center frequency is 1/C1R4 Hz, with values in farads and ohms. Choose frequency to fall midway between mark and space frequencies. Used in transmitting digital data over telecommunication I inks.- Phase-Locked Loop Data Book, Exar Integrated Systems, Sunnyvale, CA, 1978, p 57-61.   (View)

SYNC_SEPARATOR

Published:2009/7/15 4:55:00 Author:Jessie

Input video having negative synchronizing pulses is applied to Q1 through 3.58-MHz notch filter Lt-Ct to remove color subcarrier components. Circuit is set up to conduct only on negative peaks, when Q1 Q2, and CR1 are all on, so feedback is 100% at this time. Negative peaks of output then follow input exactly. C2 acts as memory for negative peaks, storing their level between sync pulses.-W. Jung, An Operational Approach to Sync Separation, EDN/EEE Magazine, July 15, 1971, p 48-49.   (View)
