STV2248 video processor is essential for realizing all small signal functions for a color TV receiver.
2.1 Vision IF amplifier
The vision IF amplifier can demodulate signals with positive and negative modulation. The PLL demodulator is completely
alignment-free. Although the VCO (Toko-coil) of the PLL circuit is external, yet the frequency is fixed to the required
value by the original manufacturer thus the Toko-coil does not need to be adjusted manually. The setting of the various
frequencies (38.9 or 33,8 MHz) can be made via changing the coil itself.

2.2 QSS Sound circuit (QSS versions)
The sound IF amplifier is similar to the vision IF amplifier and has an external AGC de-coupling capacitor. The single
reference QSS mixer is realised by a multiplier. In this multiplier the SIF signal is converted to the inter-carrier frequency
by mixing it with the regenerated picture carrier from the VCO. The mixer output signal is supplied to the output via a
high-pass filter for attenuation of the residual video signals. With this system a high performance hi-fi stereo sound
processing can be achieved. The AM sound demodulator is realised by a multiplier. The modulated
sound IF signal is multiplied in phase with the limited SIF signal. The demodulator output signal is supplied to the output
via a low-pass filter for attenuation of the carrier harmonics. The AM signal is supplied to the output via the volume
control.

2.3 AM Demodulator
The AM demodulated signal results from multiplying the input signal by itself, it is available on AM/FM output.
2.4 FM demodulator and audio amplifier (mono versions)
The FM demodulator is realized as narrow-band PLL with external loop filter, which provides the necessary selectivity
without using an external band-pass filter. To obtain a good selectivity a linear phase detector and constant input signal
amplitude are required. For this reason the inter-carrier signal is internally supplied to the demodulator via a gain
controlled amplifier and AGC circuit. The nominal frequency of the demodulator is tuned to the required frequency (4.5/
5.5/6.0/6.5 MHz) by means of a calibration circuit that uses the clock frequency of the µ-controller/Teletext decoder as
a reference. The setting to the wanted frequency is realized by means of the software. It can be read whether the PLL
frequency is inside or outside the window and whether the PLL is in lock or not.
With this information it is possible to make an automatic search system for the incoming sound frequency. This is
realized by means of a software loop that alternate the demodulator to various frequencies, then select the frequency
on which a lock condition has been found. De-emphasis output signal amplitude is independent of the TV standard and
has the same value for a frequency
deviation of ±25 kHz at the 4.5 MHz standard and for a deviation of ±50 kHz for the other standards. When the IF circuit
is switched to positive modulation the internal signal on deemphasis pin is automatically muted. The audio control
circuit contains an audio switch and volume control. In the mono inter-carrier sound versions the Automatic Volume
Leveling (AVL) function can be activated. The pin to which the external capacitor has to be connected depends on the
IC version. For the 90° types the capacitor is connected to the EW output pin (pin 20). When the AVL is active it
automatically stabilizes the audio output signal to a certain level.

2.5 Video switching
The video processor (STV2248C) has three CVBS inputs and two RGB inputs. The first CVBS input is used for external
CVBS from SCART 1, the second is used for external CVBS from FAV, and the third one is used for internal video. The
selection between both external video inputs signals is realized by means of software and hardware switches.

2.6 Synchronization circuit
The video processor (STV224X) performs the horizontal and vertical processing. The external horizontal deflection
circuit is controlled via the Horizontal output pulse (HOUT). The vertical scanning is performed through an external
