Abstract: For frequency change, the VCO is controlled through a sub-charge pump circuit to make a determination as to whether or not a difference of dividing data between before and after the change is within a predetermined range. When it is determined that the difference is outside the predetermined range, the loop filer is forcibly charged in a charge time which is determined proportional to the difference in the dividing data, to thereby control an oscillation frequency of the VOC. A large VOC oscillation frequency change can be swiftly realized. Also, while the frequency change circuit is controlling the oscillation frequency, a time constant of the loop filter in the PLL circuit is preferably set at a small value, so that frequency change by the frequency change circuit can be swiftly achieved.

Abstract: Superimposed FM data is demodulated to digital data. A synchronism reproducing circuit (data block detecting section) detects the front of blocks in the digital data to generate a block head signal (a station change timing signal), which is supplied to a control section of a station selecting microcomputer. When a station selecting key requests a change of the received station, station data corresponding to a requested station is supplied to the control section (a station selecting control section). When the block head signal is inputted after requesting the change of the station, the control section begins to output station change data to a PLL frequency synthesizer in order to change the frequency signal in a front end. This prevents a latter part of a block in received superimposed FM data from being NG data.

Abstract: A master (1) and a slave (3) are connected via a transmission line (5) for sending a clock CL; another transmission line (6) for bidirectionally sending data DT; and still another transmission line (7) for sending a control signal CE. Having turned a control signal CE into "L," the master (1) transmits an address code as data DT to the slave (3). Referring to the content of the transmitted address code, the slave (3) detects whether it is a data transmission from the master (1) to the slave (3) or vice versa. While a control signal CE remains "H," data transmission takes place. Data output from the slave (3) to the data line (6) is managed by a bus driver (22). The bus driver (22) is turned off during a period from when the clock CL became "H" to when a control signal CE becomes "L" after data transmission so that data transmission from the master (1) will not be adversely affected.

Abstract: A scrambling key is generated from demodulated and error-corrected FM demodulation data for use in descrambling. During this process, if error correction has not been normally conducted to an object data packet, a subsequent descrambling operation is not executed to that data packet. In addition, a descrambling operation is not carried out if the object data packet is a parity packet.

Abstract: In a packet analyzing circuit, first and second key data are detected and stored in respective first and second key data registers. First and second key generation circuits generate first and second keys from the first and second key data. An exclusive OR operation is carried out to both keys so as to generate a scrambling key. Using the scrambling key as an initial value, a random number generator generates a PN code used for scrambling, so that scrambled data is descrambled by adding the PN code to the data. The first key generation circuit, which receives a control signal CON from a timing generation circuit, is controlled by the control signal CON such that a scrambling key is generated only when the random number generator needs an initial value.

Abstract: In accordance with the operation of an operating section 14, a control section 12 performs a reception control operation and demodulates a signal passing through a band pass filter 7 for extracting a multiplex signal using a multiplex signal demodulating section 8 when receiving a broadcast signal. A block synchronization circuit 16 of a synchronization circuit 9 carries out block synchronization processing on the demodulated signal. When block synchronization is established, a synchronization determination signal is supplied to a detecting section DET and the detecting section DET determines that a broadcasting station whose radio waves are currently being received is a multiplex broadcasting station.

Abstract: In a decoding processing circuit of a digital signal receiver, a first comparison circuit detects that a prefix of packet data is inputted in a shift register on the basis of a count value of a counter circuit. In response to the result of detection, a pseudo-random binary sequence generation circuit outputs a pseudo-random binary sequence on the basis of a data group number and a data packet number outputted from the shift register and key data previously extracted by a key data fetch circuit. When a second comparison circuit detects that block data in the data packet is inputted in the shift register, an exclusive OR circuit exclusively ORs the pseudo-random binary sequence with receive data, so that decoded data is inputted in the shift register.

Abstract: In multiplex FM broadcasting, a digital signal is composed of a frame which consists of a predetermined number of blocks in the vertical direction, a block consisting of a predetermined number of bits in the horizontal direction and having a horizontal parity (error correcting code) for correcting errors in the horizontal direction and a vertical parity for correcting errors in the vertical direction. The block also has a control bit for determining whether the error correction in the horizontal direction is to be carried out only once. A decoding identification detector (20) detects the content of the control bit, a controller (12) controls the re-writing of the digital signal into a frame buffer (13) after the error correction of the digital signal in the vertical direction by an error corrector (14).

Abstract: An SI judging circuit in a service detecting section detects a service identification code included in a block included in received superimposed FM data. When the block represents an unnecessary service, the SI judging circuit generates a predetermined service detecting signal, which is supplied to a station selecting microcomputer. A user operates a station selecting key to request the change of the broadcasting station. When the change is requested, and also the service detecting signal indicating that the service included in the received block is not needed is supplied to the station selecting microcomputer by the SI judging circuit, a control section of the station selecting microcomputer outputs station data corresponding to the requested station to a PLL synthesizer, and then the frequency signal (tuning frequency) is changed at a front end.
