10.EXTERNAL IEC60958-3 TRANSMITTER COMPONENTS
This section details the external components required to interface the IEC60958-3 transmitter to cables and fiber-
optic components.
10.1
IEC60958-3 Transmitter External Components
The IEC60958-3 specifications call for an unbalanced drive circuit with an output impedance of 75
and an output drive level of 0.5 volts peak-to-peak ±20% when measured across a 75
load using no cable.
provides the proper output impedance and drive level using standard 1% re-
sistors. If VD is driven from +3.3 V, use resistor values of 243
in place of the 374
resistor and a 107
resistor in place of the 90.9
resistor. The standard connector for a consumer application is an RCA phono
socket.
The TXOUT pin may be used to drive TTL or CMOS gates as shown in
. This circuit may be used
for optical connectors for digital audio as they typically implement TTL or CMOS compatible inputs. This cir-
cuit is also useful when driving multiple digital audio outputs as RS422 line drivers typically implement TTL
compatible inputs.
