THIS DOCUMENT IS FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS FEBRUARY 1994 DS3002-2.0 VP101 30/50MHz 8-BIT CMOS VIDEO DAC The VP101 is a CMOS 8-bit video DAC designed for use in high performance, high resolution colour graphics applications. The device uses video control inputs (BLANK, SYNC and REF WHITE) to provide the VP101 with the video pedestal levels required to generate RS-343A compatible video signals into a doubly-terminated 75Ω load, or alternatively to produce RS-170 video signals across a singly-terminated 75Ω load. Data and control inputs are fully pipelined to maintain synchronisation between the DAC outputs. The full scale output current is defined by a 1.2V reference and a single resistor. The reference voltage is included on-chip in the VP101, but may be supplied externally if required (see Fig. 2). Differential and integral linearity errors of the D-A converters are guaranteed to be a maximum of ±1LSB over the full operating temperature range.

On the rising edge of each clock cycle, (see Fig. 4), 24 bits of colour information (R0-R7, G0-G7, and B0-B7) are latched into the device and presented to the three 8-bit D-A converters. The REF WHITE input, also latched on the rising edge of each clock cycle, and will force the inputs of each DA converter to $FF. SYNC and BLANK are latched on the rising edge of the clock to maintain synchronisation with the colour data. These inputs add appropriately weighted currents to the analog outputs, producing the specific output levels required for video applications as shown in Fig. 3. Table 1 details how the SYNC, BLANK, and REFWHITE inputs modify the output levels. The ISYNC current output is typically connected directly to the IOG output and is used to encode sync information onto the IOG output. If ISYNC is not connected to the IOG output, sync information will not be encoded on the green channel, and the IOR, IOG and IOB outputs will have the same full scale output current. Full Scale output current is set by an external resistor (RSET) between the FS ADJUST pin and AGND. RSET has a typical value of 542Ω for generation of RS-343A video into a 37.5Ω load. The VP101 may be used in applications where an external 1.2V (typical) reference is provided, in which case the external reference should be temperature compensated and provide a low impedance output. The D-A converters on the VP101 use a segmented architecture in which bit currents are routed to either the output or AGND by a sophisticated decoding scheme.This architecture eliminates the need for precision component ratios and greatly reduces the switching transients associated with turning current sources on or off. Monotonicity and low glitch energy are guaranteed by using identical current sources and current steering their outputs. An on-chip operational amplifier stabilises the full scale output current against temperature and power supply variations. The analog outputs of the VP101 are capable of directly driving a 37.5Ω load, such as a doubly terminated 75Ω coaxial cable or interpolation filters.

A logic ‘0’ forces the IOR, IOG and IOB outputs to the blanking level, as illustrated in Table 1. It is latched on the rising edge of CLOCK. When BLANK is a logic zero, the R0-R7, G0G7, B0-B7, and REF WHITE inputs are ignored. SYNC Composite sync control input. A logic ‘0’ on this input switches off a 40 IRE current source on the ISYNC output. SYNC does not override any other control or data input as shown in Table 1; therefore it should be asserted only during the blanking interval. It is latched to the rising edge of CLOCK. REF WHITE Reference white level control input. A logic ‘1’ on this input forces the IOR, IOG and IOB outputs to the white level, regardless of the R0-R7, G0-G7 and B0-B7 inputs. It is latched on the rising edge of CLOCK. See table 1. R0-R7 G0-G7 B0-B7 Red, Green, and Blue data inputs. R0, G0, and B0 are the least significant data bits. They are latched on the rising edge of CLOCK. Coding is binary. Unused inputs should be connected to either the regular PCB power or ground plane. CLOCK Clock input. The rising edge of CLOCK latches the R0-R7, G0-G7 and B0-B7 SYNC, BLANK, and REFWHITE inputs. It is typically the pixel clock rate of the video system. It is recommended that the CLOCK input be driven by a dedicated CMOS buffer. IOR,IOG, IOB Red, Green, and Blue current outputs. these high impedance current sources are capable of directly driving a doubly terminated 75Ω co-axial cable. All outputs, whether used or not, should have the same output load (Note: A DC path to ground must be maintained). ISYNC Sync current output. Typically this current output is directly wired to the IOG output, and enables sync information to be encoded onto the green channel. A logic ‘0’ on the SYNC input results in no current being output to this pin, while logic ‘1’ results in the following current being output: VREF (V) ISYNC (mA) = 3468 X −−−−−−− ≡ 111 LSBs RSET (Ω) If sync information is not required on the green channel, this output may be connected to VAA and the SYNC input tied high, causing the ISYNC current source to be turned off, reducing the power consumption. FS ADJUST Full scale adjust control. A resistor (RSET) connected between this pin and AGND controls the magnitude of the full video signal (Fig. 3). The current flowing in the RSET resistor is equal to 32 LSBs. note that the IRE relationships in Fig. 3 are maintained, regardless of the full scale output current. The relationship between RSET and full scale current on IOG (assuming ISYNC is connected to IOG) is: VREF (V) IOG (mA) = 12082 X −−−−−−− ≡ 387 LSBs RSET (Ω) The full scale output current on IOR, IOB (mA) for a given RSET is defined as: VREF (V) IOR, IOB (mA) = 8624 X −−−−−−− ≡ 276 LSBs RSET (Ω) COMP Compensation pin. This pin provides compensation for the internal loop amplifier. A 0.01µF ceramic capacitor must be connected between this pin and the nearest VAA pin. Connecting the capacitor to VAA rather than to the AGND provides the highest possible power supply noise rejection. VREF Voltage reference output. The output from an internal reference circuit, providing 1.2V (typical) reference.A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor must be used to decouple this output to VAA. AGND VAA Analog ground. All AGND pins must be connected. Analog power. All VAA pins must be connected. 5 VP101 APPLICATION NOTES RS-343A and RS-170 Video Generation For generation of RS-343A compatible video levels it is recommended that a doubly terminated 75Ω load be used with an RSET resistor value of approximately 542Ω Similarly for generation of RS-170-compatible video, it is recommended that a singly terminated 75Ω load be used with an RSET value of about 774Ω. If the VP101 is not driving a large capacitive load, there will be negligible difference in video quality between doubly terminated 75Ω and singly terminated 75Ω loads.t If driving a large capacitive load (load RC >1/20IIfc) it is recommended that an output buffer with unloaded gain >2 be used to drive a doubly terminated 75Ω load. COMP Resistor To optimise the settling time of the VP101, a resistor may be added in series between the COMP capacitor and COMP pin. The series resistor damps inductive ringing on COMP, thus improving settling time. Non-Video Applications The VP101 may be used in non-video applications by disabling the video specific control inputs. REF WHITE should be a logic ‘0’ while BLANC and SYNC should be a logic ‘1’. ISYNC should be connected to VAA or AGND. All three outputs will have the same full scale output current. The relationship between RSET and full scale output current (IOUT) in this configuration is as follows: REF (V) ≡ 255 LSBs Iout (mA) = 7968 X V −−−−−−− RSET (Ω) VREF (V) 32 X RSET (Ω) With the data inputs at $00, there is a DC offset current (Imin) defined as follows: Note that 1 LSB ≡ Imin (mA) = 656 X V −−−−−−− REF (V) ≡ 21 LSBs RSET (Ω) Therefore the total full scale output current will be IOUT + Imin. The REF WHITE input may optionally be used as a ‘force to full scale’ control. TIMING WAVEFORMS Fig.4 Input/output timing NOTES 1.

This can be achieved by shielding the digital inputs and providing good decoupling. Power and Ground Planes The VP101 and its associated circuitry should have its own power/ground planes connected at a single point through a ferrite bead. It is important that the regular PCB and ground planes do not overlay any portions of the analog power or ground planes to minimise plane-to-plane noise coupling. Digital Signal Interconnect The digital signal lines to the VP101 should be isolated as much as possible from the analog circuitry. Due to the high clock rates used, the clock lines to the VP101 should be as short as possible to minimise noise pickup. Any pull-up resistors used on the inputs should be connected to the regular PCB power plane, not to the analog power plane. Supply Decoupling Noise on the analog power plane will be further reduced by the use of multiple decoupling capacitors (See Fig. 5). Optimum performance is obtained with 0.1µF chip ceramic capacitors placed as close as possible to the VAA pins, with the shortest leads possible to reduce lead inductance. It should be noted that while the loop amplifier circuitry of the VP101 will reject power supply noise, this rejection decreases with frequency. Any high frequency noise on the regular supply (such as produced by a switch mode power supplies) must be adequately suppressed, else the designer should consider using a three terminal regulator to supply the analog power plane. Analog Signal Interconnect For optimum performance the analog output connectors and source termination resistors should be as close as possible to the VP101 to minimise noise pickup and reflections due to impedance mismatch. The video out signals should overlay the ground plane and not the analog power plane, to maximise the high frequency power supply rejection.
