2-2 IF 
 
The TDA936x has an alignment free IF PLL demodulator. The fully integrated oscillator is automatically 
calibrated, using the 12 MHz crystal as a frequency reference. The IF frequency is simply set in TV-
Processor by I2C bus. 
The AFC information is available via I2C bus from the TV-Processor status bytes. The controlling 
software uses this information for tuner frequency tracking ( automatic following ). The AFC windows is 
typically 125Khz wide. The minimum frequency step of the tuner is 62.5 KHz. 
This AFC function is disabled when a program is tuned using the direct frequency entry or after fine 
tuning adjustment. Therefore it is recommended to tune channel with the TV search function ( manual or 
ATSS ) or using the direct channel entry to enable the Automatic Frequency Control.

Features
K3953M B/G - D/K - I - L/L’ - IF filter for video application
- TV IF filter with Nyquist slopes at 33.9 MHz and 
38.9 MHz 
- Constant group delay 
K9650M B/G - D/K - I - L/L’ - IF filter for audio application
- TV IF audio filter with two channels 
- Channel 1 (L’) with one pass band for sound 
carrier at 40.40 MHz 
- Channel 2 ( L, D/K, I, B/G) with one pass band for 
sound carriers between 32.40 MHz and 33.40 MHz 
 
For SECAM L and L’ the TDA936x is switched to positive modulation via I2C bus. SECAM L’ only 
occur in VHF band I and have their picture and sound carrier interchanged, compared to SECAM L and 
PAL B/G channels. For SECAM L’ the picture carrier is situated at 33.9 MHz and the AM sound carrier 
at 40.40 MHz. The IF PLL reference is tuned from 38.9 to 33.9 MHz, this is done via I2C Bus and the SIF 
filter is switched from channel 2 to channel 1 ; this is done by pin 4 of TDA 936x. The tuner AGC time 
constant is slower than for negative modulation, because the TDA936x reduces its AGC current. To even 
slower the AGC time constant an extra series resistor R103 is added. To prevent IF overload when 
jumping from a very strong transmitter to a weak transmitter a diode D101 has been added 
The SAW filter ( SF1 ) has a double Nyquist slope at 38.9 MHz and 33.9 MHz needed for this 
multistandard application. The disadvantage of this choice is that a 5.5 MHz trap filter ( Z501 ) is needed 
to suppress the residual sound carrier in the video for B/G signals.
