9.17.2 Normal Scavem
Figure 9-31 Normal Scavem
With normal Scavem (as used in the EM3E), the RGB signals
are added together and differentiated before they drive the
Scavem coil. The coring block prevents that Scavem
processing is done on low signal levels.
9.17.3 Auto Scavem (Diagram SC)
Figure 9-32 Auto Scavem
This new Auto Scavem circuit includes some extra blocks:
• Clipper
• Parabola modulation
Auto Scavem is fully software controlled, by means of I
2
C. The
speed, at which Auto Scavem is adapted, is controlled by the
Auto TV algorithm. This adaptation takes place together with
the FBX initialisation, and takes about 1 second. The different
circuit stages are controlled via a DAC (item 7500, TDA8444).
The new Auto Scavem circuitry also produces higher Scavem
currents, which results in sharper pictures. For the circuit
description, the circuit is split in eight stages.
Matrix and Differentiator
Figure 9-33 Auto Scavem: Stage 1 and 2
The 2fH RGB signals are added on the SSB (see diagram B4),
and presented to the emitter of transistor 7006.
The next circuit is the differentiator. The combined signal
enters this circuit at the base of transistor 7008. The DC-level
of this transistor is controlled by the DAC7 line, which is
dependent of the “sharpness meter” reading in the Auto TV
algorithm. By means of this control signal, the voltage and
capacity of varicap diode 6000 is altered, which will adapt the
differentiator.
The slope of the differentiator is controlled by this DC-level.
The differentiation itself is done by varicap diode 6000. Output
signal goes from the collector of transistor 7010 via emitter
follower (= buffer) 7012, to the next stage.
Coring/Clipping and Gain
Figure 9-34 Auto Scavem: Stage 3 and 4
The coring circuit (items 7014 and 7016) prevent Auto Scavem
on the lowest signal levels (= noise), while the clipper circuit
(items 7018 and 7020) always give the same amount of
Scavem above a certain level.
The levels at which this must happen, are controlled by the
DAC4 and DAC5 lines, and are dependent of the “noise meter”
reading in the Auto TV program.
The input signal enters this circuit at emitter follower 7022, and
is strongly attenuated via voltage divider R3062 and R3064.
This, because the gain of transistor 7024 is set with the
adjustable voltage divider of R3066, R3068 and R3070. The
level at which this happen, is controlled by the DAC6 line, and
is dependent of the “sharpness meter” reading in the Auto TV
program, the picture tube size, and the sharpness setting by
the customer.
