GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The RDS/RBDS demodulator is a CMOS device with
integrated filtering and demodulating of RDS/RBDS
signals coming from a multiplexed input data stream. Data
signal RDDA and clock signal RDCL are provided as
outputs for further processing by a suitable
microcomputer, for example CCR921 and CCR922.
The SAA6581T replaces SAA6579 in function and
pin-compatibility.

APPLICATIONS
SAA6581
The RDS/RBDS system offers a large range of
applications from the many functions that can be
implemented. For car radios the most important are:
•
Program Service (PS) name
•
Traffic Program (TP) identification
•
Traffic Announcement (TA) signal
•
Alternative Frequency (AF) list
•
Program Identification (PI)
•
Enhanced Other Networks (EON) information.

RDS/RBDS demodulator
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
RDS/RBDS signal demodulation
B
ANDPASS FILTER
The bandpass filter has a centre frequency of 57 kHz. It
selects the RDS/RBDS sub-band from the multiplex signal
MPX and suppresses the audio signal components. The
filter block contains an analog anti-aliasing filter at the
input followed by an 8th order switched capacitor
bandpass filter and a reconstruction filter at the output.
C
LOCKED COMPARATOR
The comparator digitizes the output signal from the 57 kHz
bandpass filter for further processing by the digital
RDS/RBDS demodulator. To attain high sensitivity and to
avoid phase distortion, the comparator input stage has
automatic offset compensation.
D
EMODULATOR
The demodulator provides all functions of the SAA6579
and improves performance under weak signal conditions.
Demodulator functions include:
•
57 kHz carrier regeneration from the two sidebands
(Costas loop)
•
Symbol integration over one RDS clock period
•
Bi-phase symbol decoding
•
Differential decoding
•
Synchronization of RDS/RBDS output data.
The RDS/RBDS demodulator recovers and regenerates
the continuously transmitted RDS/RBDS data stream in
the MPX signal and provides clock RDCL for the output
signals and data output RDDA for further processing by an
RDS/RBDS decoder, for example CCR921 or CCR922.
ARI
CLAMP
The demodulator checks the input signal for presence of
RDS only, or RDS plus ARI transmissions. After a fixed
test period, if the SYNC input is set HIGH the demodulator
locks in the ‘verified’ condition (see Table 1). If SYNC is set
LOW, the ARI clamping is reset (disabled). After SYNC
returns to HIGH, the demodulator resumes checking the
input signal.

IGNAL QUALITY DETECTION
Output QUAL indicates the safety of the regenerated RDS
data (HIGH = ‘good’ data; LOW = ‘unsafe’ data).
Oscillator and system clock generator
For good performance of the bandpass and demodulator
stages, the demodulator requires a crystal oscillator with a
frequency of 4.332 or 8.664 MHz. The demodulator can
operate with either frequency (see Table 2), so that a radio
set with a microcontroller can run, in this case, with one
crystal only. The demodulator oscillator can drive the
microcontroller, or vice versa.

The clock generator generates the internal 4.332 MHz
system clock and timing signal derivatives.
The demodulator has separate power supply inputs for the
digital and analog parts of the device. For the analog
functions an additional reference voltage (

) is
internally generated and available via the output pin V

The demodulator requires a defined reset condition. The
demodulator generates automatically a reset signal after
the power supply V

is switched on, or at a voltage-drop.
