The coupling capacitors are used in this way for black level storage. Because the threshold for the clamping pulse is higher than that for vertical blanking (pin 10) the rise and fall times of the clamping pulse have to be faster than 75 ns/V (1 V to 3.5 V). FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION RGB input signals (0.7 V(p-p)) are capacitively coupled into the TDA4881 (pins 2, 5 and 8) from a low ohmic source and are clamped to an internal DC voltage (artificial black level). Composite signals will not disturb normal operations because an internal clipping circuit cuts all signal parts below black level. Channels 1 and 3 have a maximum total voltage gain of 6 dB (maximum contrast and maximum individual channel gain), Channel 2 of 4 dB (maximum contrast and nominal channel gain). With the nominal channel gain of 1 dB and nominal contrast setting the nominal black-to-white output amplitude is 0.8 V(p-p). DC voltages are used for brightness, contrast and gain control. The vertical blanking pulse will be detected if the input voltage (pin 10) is higher than the threshold voltage for approximately 300 ns but does not exceed the threshold for the clamping pulse in the time between. During the vertical blanking pulse the input clamping is disabled to avoid misclamping in the event of composite input signals. The input signal is blanked and the artificial black level is inserted instead. Additionally the brightness is internally set to its nominal value, thus the output signal is at reference black level. The DC value of the reference black level will be adjusted by cut-off stabilization. Brightness control yields a simultaneous signal black level shift of the three channels relative to a reference black level. For nominal brightness (pin 1 open-circuit) the signal black level is equal to the reference black level. During horizontal blanking (pin 9) the output signal is set to reference black level as previously described and output clamping is activated. If the voltage at pin 9 exceeds the switch off threshold the signal is blanked and switched to ultra black level for screen protection and spot suppression during V-flyback. Ultra black level is the lowest possible output voltage (at voltage outputs) and does not depend on cut-off stabilization. Contrast control is achieved by a voltage at pin 6 and affects the three channels simultaneously. To provide the correct white point, an individual gain control (pins 3 and 11) adjusts the signals of Channels 1 and 3 compared to the reference Channel 2. Gain setting effects contrast and brightness to achieve correct grey scale tracking. Each output stage provides a current output (pins 20, 17 and 14) and a voltage output (pins 19, 16 and 13). External cascode transistors reduce power consumption of the IC and prevent breakdown of the output transistors. Signal output currents and peaking characteristics are determined by external components at the voltage outputs and the video supply. The three channels have separate internal feedback loops which ensure large signal linearity and marginal signal distortion in spite of output transistor thermal VBE variation. For cut-off stabilization (DC coupling to the CRT) respectively black level stabilization (AC coupling) the video signal at the cathode or the coupling capacitor is divided by an adjustable voltage divider and fed to the feedback inputs (pins 18, 15 and 12). During horizontal blanking time this signal is compared with an internal DC voltage of approximately 5.8 V. Any difference will lead to a reference black level correction by charging or discharging the integrated capacitor which stores the reference black level information between the horizontal blanking pulses. The clamping pulse (pin 10) is used for input clamping only. The input signals have to be at black level during the clamping pulse and are clamped to an internal artificial November 1992 5 Philips Semiconductors Preliminary specification Advanced monitor video controller TDA4881 Fig.3 Internal circuits.

Typical range is 1 to 6 V, the range can be increased (e.g. 0 to 7 V) to slightly increase the control range. 2. Open contrast control pin leads to undefined contrast setting. 3. The internal reference voltage can be measured at pins 18, 15 and 12 during output clamping in closed feedback loop. 4. Minimum guaranteed control range, the typical minimum black level voltage is 0.1 V. 5. The signal-to-noise ratio is calculated by the formula (frequency range 1 to 70 MHz): peak-to-peak value of the nominal signal output voltage -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------RMS value of the noise output voltage 6. The external RC combinations at pins 19, 16 and 13 enables peak currents during transients. 7. The internal threshold voltages are derived from an internally stabilized voltage. The internal pulses are generated if the input pulses are higher than the thresholds. Fig.4 Timing of pulses at pin 10.

SOLDERING Introduction The device may be mounted up to the seating plane, but the temperature of the plastic body must not exceed the specified maximum storage temperature (Tstg max). If the printed-circuit board has been pre-heated, forced cooling may be necessary immediately after soldering to keep the temperature within the permissible limit. There is no soldering method that is ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and surface mounted components are mixed on one printed-circuit board. However, wave soldering is not always suitable for surface mounted ICs, or for printed-circuits with high population densities. In these situations reflow soldering is often used. Repairing soldered joints This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology. A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in our “IC Package Databook” (order code 9398 652 90011). Apply a low voltage soldering iron (less than 24 V) to the lead(s) of the package, below the seating plane or not more than 2 mm above it. If the temperature of the soldering iron bit is less than 300 °C it may remain in contact for up to 10 seconds. If the bit temperature is between 300 and 400 °C, contact may be up to 5 seconds. Soldering by dipping or by wave The maximum permissible temperature of the solder is 260 °C; solder at this temperature must not be in contact with the joint for more than 5 seconds.
