Integrated Circuits (ICs) in consumer equipment are a fact. In 1973 in excess of 40 million pieces will be used in TV sets and more than 25 million pieces will go into audio applications, to name only two consumer markets. The total number of consumer ICs available will exceed 180 million pieces. If they do not all work properly, there will be a certain number of disatisfied TV viewers, radio listeners, tape recorder owners, and other users of IC equipment. ICs are tested to prevent this occurrence. Testing schemes employed vary considerably and are covered in the following discussion. Test philosophies will be pointed out and a recommendation for specifications will be made.

The automotive radio industry is constantly working to develop radios that are more reliable, less costly to build, and physically smaller, while at the same time giving performance comparable with existing radios.

A notable characteristic of transistor power amplifiers using complementary pairs as applied to TV vertical deflection systems is unbalanced dissipation in the output devices. The reasons for this unbalance and some of the factors influencing it are discussed in this paper.

The design of new integrated circuits must be oriented to the cost and flexibility demanded by the function. This paper describes a new I/C which houses the horizontal APC system in only 8 pins while retaining excellent flexibility. Simple, yet sufficient circuits for the RC oscillator and balanced phase detector have all important parameters available externally. A special predriver circuit uses one pin to adjust the output for any type of horizontal driver. By modifying the external circuitry, the TV designer can tailor the I/C to meet a wide range of performance requirements in monochrome and color TV.

General Electric has developed and plans to introduce commercially in 1972 a large screen television receiver that features an RGB plug-in module with all input signals AC coupled. The RGB module utilizes a unique DC restoration technique and video amplifier design in conjunction with a passive matrixing network. The RBG video amplifiers will provide 150 volts of video drive, however the stress ratio on the components is such that the module has an estimated *MTBF of 56000 hours, (based on component failure rates published in MIL HDBK 217 A).

The wound section of a television receiver has seen several evolutions since 1966 and has been extensively described in the literature. 4 Although phase locked systems have been introduced, 5 the more classical approaches to the sound function have dominated both the TV and FM scenes. A block diagram of the TV sound function is shown in Figure 1.

Sylvania has long been actively engaged in the development of color television display systems, and during the past five years, studies have particularly and 1100 deflection systems both for delta and inline°gun arr°ys. This work has revealed that toroidal yokes are inherently precise magnetic deflection components which overcome the imperfections of saddle yokes in that they provide nearer to optimum beam landing, convergence, and consistency in production. As a majo consupplier of picture tubes, Sylvania believes it is in a position to optimize the combination of picture tube and yoke for better performance; the result of work to date has been the development of a family of toroidal yokes specifically designed to complement the characteristics of the present generation of color picture tubes.

Until comparatively recently the concept of using digital methods in consumer equipment was dismissed as impractical, unnecessary and prohibitively expensive. New developments in semiconductor technology, transmission systems and FCC regulations have brought about a situation where digital techniques are now not only economically and technically feasible but also necessary. Some of the factors involved include the availability of complex MOS LSI (Large Scale Integration) devices, the National Bureau of Standards time code transmission system and the UHF tuning parity regulations. This paper will endeavor to discuss these factors and how they may affect future TV receiver design.
