Summary
This report describes the video amplifier board with 150 MHz video controller TDA4885 and 140 MHz hybrid
active load output amplifier CR6927. The printed circuit board is designed to drive both 15" and 17" colour
monitors with 100 MHz bandwidth. AC-coupling to the cathodes is used, which enables a low supply voltage.
Together with the choice for the active load module with low static power dissipation, this results an economical
board with a small heatsink. This AC-coupling does need additional circuitry, such as a buffer, negative supply
for the CR6927 inputs as well as DC-restoration at the cathodes. With the included I2C-software, functions such
as contrast, brightness, OSD contrast, individual gain and individual black-level control are available. The board
is capable of receiving signals for beam current limiting and gain modulation. A system description with highlights
of TDA4885 and CR6927 is given. Block diagram and schematics of the system is explained. Also, measuring
data and various design hints are included. For a description of an DC-coupled application, see Application Note
AN96074: ’Video Amplifier Board with TDA4885 and CR1296’.

INTRODUCTION
This report describes the video amplifier demo board with video controller TDA4885 and output amplifier
CR6927. It is designed to drive both 15" and 17" colour monitors with 100 MHz. A separate On Screen Display
(OSD) generator is present on the board. AC-coupling to the cathodes is used, which means a low output
amplifier supply voltage and therefore, a low power dissipation. A DC-restore circuit is implemented with a simple
diode clamp and an amplifier with only four transistors for three channels. The active load amplifier CR6927 has
a low static power dissipation, but requires a buffer between TDA4885 and its inputs in order to yield a 100MHz
bandwidth. Also, a negative supply voltage is needed to drive the CR6927 inputs.

Video controller IC TDA4885 and output amplifier hybrid CR6927 are the core of the video board, the rest of the
circuitry serves as drive or interface for these devices. The two following subparagraphs will be devoted to the
TDA4885 and CR6927. OSD generator PCB8517 will be described in the third subparagraph.
2.1
Video Controller TDA4885
The TDA4885 is a 150 MHz RGB pre-amplifier for colour monitor systems with On Screen Display (OSD) and
I2C-bus. It can drive discrete stages as well as hybrid video modules. The pre-amplifier is used with positive
feedback from output (or buffer output) for AC-coupling with fixed black-level output. Black-level restore at the
cathodes is possible with the aid of three external DAC reference voltages. I2C-bus control software is being
delivered on diskette with the video board, appendix 1 shows the software menu with the options mentioned
above.

Block Diagram
In appendix 2, the internal block diagram of the TDA4885 is depicted. Diagram sections and their functioning are
listed in the paragraphs below.
2.1.3
Signal Input Stage
The RGB signal inputs (0.7 V) must be capacitively coupled (10 nF recommended) to the TDA4885 from a lowohmic source (75 Ω recommended). These AC-coupling capacitors allow level shift and clamping of the input
signals to reference black level. Missing input clamping pulses will result in black output signals because internal
leakage currents discharge the coupling capacitor. A clipping circuit cuts all signal parts below black level. Video
signals can be enabled or disabled by I2C-bus.
2.1.4
Electronic Potentiometer Stages
Three electronic potentiometer stages are present as 6-bit, I2C-driven, DACs with the following functions:
CONTRAST CONTROL
This DAC simultaneously adjusts all three input signals related to reference black level with a range of 25 dB.
BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
Video black level can be shifted in relation to reference black level for all three channels simultaneously. A
negative setting will shift dark signal parts in ultra black and a positive setting will change background from black
to grey.

GAIN CONTROL
Gain is an individually controlled white point adjustment, that controls video signals related to reference black
level over a range of 7 dB. It affects the complete grey scale. It is used to compensate for the sensitivity of the
R/G/B guns and phosphors (the three colours need a different drive for a white picture). With gain control, Accu
Colour can be implemented.
2.1.5
Output Stage
The output RGB signals are amplified to 2.8 Vpp (12 dB) at nominal contrast and maximum gain. At maximum
contrast and gain settings, output voltage is 4.5 Vpp (16 dB). Reference black level is controllable from
0.5 to 2.5 V. Total output voltage range is limited from 0.5 to Vp-2.0 V.
2.1.6
Pedestal Blanking
Output signals can be blanked to ultra black level by setting pedestal blanking (bit PEDST=1), which adds 0.45 V
during clamping. This is necessary for AC-coupling applications with a passive clamp diode circuit as DCrestoration to prevent unwanted clamping during video overshoots. With pedestal blanking, the clamping pulse
surely is the highest voltage, and black level is restored during clamping only.
2.1.7
Output Clamping, Feedback References and DAC Outputs
Output clamping stabilises the reference black level at the output. Without clamping pulses, output signals will go
to switch-off voltage because the integrated storage capacitors will discharge. In case of AC-coupling, the buffer
output (emitter) voltage is fed back to the IC. Without the buffer, the TDA4885 output is directly connected to its
feedback pin. During output clamping, this feedback voltage is compared to 0.7 V. Output control range during
clamping is 0.5 V to 2.5 V. Figure 2 depicts output signal with variable gain, contrast and brightness.
2.1.8
Horizontal Clamping and Vertical Blanking Pulses
Threshold for input line clamping is 3 V and for vertical blanking 1.4 V. Vertical blanking is only enabled when the
input signal is present for a certain minimum time between 1.4 V and 3 V. During vertical blanking, signal and
brightness blanking are activated and possible pedestal blanking. Input signals have to be at black level during
the input clamping pulse. Figure 3 gives a timing diagram for clamping/blanking pulses.
2.1.9
Horizontal Flyback Pulses
Horizontal flyback pulse HFB has two levels: 1.4 V at which signal blanking, brightness blanking and possible
pedestal blanking are activated and 3 V at which additionally the output clamped feedback loop is activated.

OSD and OSD Contrast
If fast blanking input at pin FBL rises above its 1.4 V threshold, video input signals are blanked and OSD signals
enabled. Amplification of inserted signals OSD1 to -3 can be controlled by a 4-bit I2C-driven DAC ’OSD contrast’
with a range of 12 dB. OSD signals track with brightness and gain control as normal signals, but is independend
of video contrast. It is possible to enable/disable OSD signals by I2C-bus.
2.1.11
Beam Current Limiting
Beam current limiting by means of contrast reduction is possible with an external voltage at pin LIM. Maximum
overall voltage gain of contrast and OSD contrast control can be reduced by 26 dB (4.5 V: start of reduction,
2.0 V: maximum reduction).
2.1.12
Gain Modulation
Gain modulation is possible in order to achieve brightness uniformity over the screen by applying appropriate
waveforms to the input pins GM1, GM2 and GM3.
Open-circuit pins are at 2.0 V and yield a gain reduction of 20%. A symmetrical gain modulation is achieved by a
signal input of 1.0 to 3.0 V. This will modulate the open-circuit gain with -18% to +18%. If this feature is not used,
the pins should be grounded for maximum voltage gain. Figure 4 clarifies the effect of the gain modulation input
range.

The video output amplification is achieved by hybrid module CR6927. This is a three channel (class AB active
load) amplifier with a small-signal bandwidth of 140 MHz and an open loop voltage gain of 180. A feedback
resistor Rfb is applied internally, which means the closed loop gain can adjusted by the input resistor Rin (see

SYSTEM SCHEMATICS
This paragraph will explain the depicted schematics of the video board. The two main building blocks of the
board are the TDA4885 and CR6927 with peripheral components that will be described first. Supply will be
treated in more detail in paragraph 5.2 on design hints. PCB lay-out will be explained and finally power and
heatsink calculations for the CR6927 are given.
3.1
Application Circuit
Schematics of the circuit around the TDA4885 and CR6927 is depicted in appendix 3. The video board also
interconnects the horizontal and vertical sync pulses from monitor input to deflection board and signals like
heater, Vg1 etc. from deflection board to picture tube. The monitor alignment procedure is included (adjusting
black-level, white point etc.) in appendix 4.
3.1.1
TDA4885 Application
* OSD inputs: generated by the separate OSD-generator PCB8517. These inputs are coupled via a 100 Ω
resistor to PCB8517.
* Clamping and blanking inputs, connected via 100 Ω to CON2. These signals are generated on the deflection
board.
* RGB-inputs: these signals are 0-0.7 V and connected via a 75 Ω cable, which means a 75 Ω terminator must
be present at the input on the video board. A 10 nF capacitor with a 33 Ω series resistor connects the
incoming signal to the input pins.
* Supply voltage 8 V from voltage stabilizer uA7808 (IC3), decoupled locally with a chip capacitor.
* Gain modulation inputs, connected via 100 Ω to connector CON3. If this feature is unused, the pins can
grounded.
* SDA/SCL I2C-bus inputs, generated by I2C-controller on deflection board. Pull-up resistors are present on
deflection board. Signals come in via connector CON1 and 220 Ω series resistors.
* Beam Current Limiter (BCL), generated on deflection board from CON2 via 100 Ω. This signal must force the
open-pin voltage of 5 V down to a range of 4.5 to 2.0 V when beam current must be limited. A 10 nF capacitor
is used to filter possible noise that might cause interference. A pull-up resistor ensures a voltage greater than
4.5 V in case beam current limiting must not be activated.
* Channel outputs: coupled to the CR6927 via a buffer (BFG35). All channels have separate ground and supply
voltage.
* Feedback from emitter of BFG35 buffer. The TDA4885 is set to positive feedback (AC-coupling) and feedback
black level during the clamp pulse is controlled at 0.7 V.
* External feedback reference voltages, used for the DC-restoration circuit in AC-coupling applications.
3.1.2
CR6927 Application
* RGB channel inputs, require a voltage swing of about 3-4 Vpp (dependent on closed loop gain) around 1.5 V,
connected through Rin, that will determine the closed loop gain (see equation 1). In order to shift the input
signals to the levels, delivered by the pre-amp, pull-down resistors R*08 haven been added.

* Output pins, connected via coupling capacitor and a flash resistor to the cathodes. A clamping diode pulls the
cathode voltage to a DC-restore value every horizontal flyback. This diode also leads possible flashes on the
cathodes away from the video amplifier’s outputs. The diode (BAV21) must be able to withstand the flash
current that is limited by the flash resistor (47 Ω, for calculations see appendix 5).
* Supply voltage (78 V) from deflection board and ground for each channel, decoupled locally by a chip
capacitor.
3.1.3
PCB8517
* High speed serial bus with enable, clock and data line, driven by the microcontroller on deflection board via
100Ω. Pull-up resistors (4k7) are also applied.
* H/V sync pulse inputs, connected via 100Ω to the H/V connectors.
* Phase Locked Loop (PLL) filter input and BIAS input for the Voltage Controlled Oscillator.
* 5 V analog and digital supply voltage and ground, separately decoupled.
* RGB and Fast Blanking (FB) outputs, connected via 100Ω to TDA4885 OSD inputs.
3.1.4
Buffer
A buffer transistor (BFG35) is used to increase the sink and source current for the output stage. The feedback
pin of the TDA4885 must be connected to the emitter of this emitter follower in order to minimize smearing. Since
the buffer is connected to a negative supply, the feedback pin must be set to > 300mV during start-up to avoid
latch-up. This is done by connecting a divider to the feedback pin of the TDA4885 with a pull-up resistor to +8 V
and a resistor to the emitter of the buffer.
3.1.5
DC-Restoration Circuit
The DC-restoration circuit must be a temperature independent DC-amplifier. This amplifier is fed by the
TDA4885 reference voltages (range 4.0-5.8 V). These voltages are amplified to the desired black-levels at the
cathodes (with a range of the maximum 17" tube cut-off voltage difference of 25 V). This is implemented by
creating a temperature-dependent voltage at the emitter of the three amplifiers. The DC-amplifiers are closed
loop connected transistors in order to achieve a stabile DC output. With only four transistors, it is possible to
achieve a three-channel temperature-stabile accurate DC-amplifier.
3.1.6
Heater and grid voltages
Voltages for heater and grids 1 and 2 of the CRT are generated on the deflection board. The grid voltages Vg1
and Vg2 are coupled to the CRT by a 2.7 kΩ series resistor and a 1 nF high-voltage capacitor is connected to
ground. Heater voltage is via a 1 Ω resistor and a 10 µH inductor connected to the heater, heater ground is
connected by a 10 µH series inductor. Both heater and heater ground are decoupled by a 1.5 nF capacitor to
ground. Spikes are caused by fast voltage swings on the cathodes and are, without decoupling capacitors,
picked up by the heater and grids. The inductors and 2.7 kΩ resistors ensure that this is the route of least
impedance.

Note: The Vg1 voltage, applied to pin 8 of connector 2 must be approximately -50 V, with a superimposed
vertical blanking pulse of at least 10 V.
3.2
Printed Circuit Board
In designing the video Printed Circuit Board (PCB), care has to be taken that all connections are as short as
possible and connectors have to be placed close to the ICs’ input pins. All channel inputs of the TDA4885 are
placed at one side (pins 1-16) and outputs at the other (pins 17-32), which makes layout design easy: the inputs
enter on one side of the board, followed by TDA4885 that drives CR6927 and at the other side the CRT-socket.
The choice was made for a double-sided board to avoid oscillations. With a double-sided board, one side is used
as ground plane. This enables short ground returns, reducing EMI. The use of SMD components in combination
with leaded components ensures the shortest connection possible between inputs, ICs and outputs. Especially
the local decoupling of supply voltages with capacitors 10-100 nF must be close to the corresponding pins, which
means it is best to use SMD components. Lay-out of the board is depicted in appendix 6, followed by the
components list in appendix 7.
3.3
Heatsink CR6927
The video hybrid module dissipates too much power to conduct to free air. This means a heatsink must be fixed
to its mounting base. Figure 6 shows the thermal resistances and corresponding local temperatures.

The maximum power dissipated by the CR6927 is 16.8 Watts (appendix 8 includes calculations that lead to this
value). The thermal resistance between mounting base and heatsink is assumed 0.2 °C\W. It is specified that the
operating temperature of the CR6927 mounting base is ≤ 100 °C, in order to keep the junction temperatures of
the internal transistors within safe limits. The required thermal resistance is specified in equation 2.

is not likely to occur. If necessary, a larger heatsink can be chosen.

MEASURING DATA
Video Performance
Video performance is specified by rise/fall times and DC-voltages at the cathodes. Measurements have been
carried out in an actual monitor (15" Mk 2, see Ref. 4). Load capacitance is defined by:
Equ. 4
The (reference) black-levels on the cathodes can be adjusted between 50 V and 75 V (measured) with the three
DAC registers of the TDA4885. This range is sufficient to compensate for the difference of cut-off voltages of one
tube.
Figure 8 shows the cathode waveform of a 50 Vpp voltage swing at nominal brightness (an Astro video generator
is used as a signal source).
Fig.8 Cathode Voltage Video Board
Rise and fall times (time between 10% and 90% of voltage swing) at the cathodes are measured with a Tektronix
TDS520 500MHz oscilloscope using a high-frequency calibrated Tektronix P5100 100x 2.4 pF probe. The
corresponding input signal of the TDA4885 is generated by a PM585 pulse generator with rise/fall times smaller
than 1 ns. These conditions yield a rise time of 4.4 ns and a fall time of 3.5 ns, at a voltage swing from 15 to 65 V.
Overshoot of the white to black transition is below 5%, overshoot from black to white is more than 10%.
Bandwidth of this system is calculated by B = 0.35\tfall. Fall time (black to white transition) is the most critical
transition time, because it is best visible on screen. Overall system bandwidth is:
Bsystem = 0.35\(3.5*10-9) = 100 MHz. The board can be used for pixel rates up to 200 MHz.

Temperature
Measurements have proved that most power is dissipated in CR6927 when displaying a 100 MHz pixel on/off
picture. Temperature measurements have been carried out with the heatsink construction and size as described
in paragraph 3.3. The first row of table 4 shows data with a pixel on/off picture at maximum contrast
(Vpp = 50.4 V) and nominal brightness. The ∆T of this measurement remains the same at a higher ambient
temperature. The second row of this table shows the mounting base temperature of CR6927 at the maximum
ambient temperature of 65°C, which is the internal monitor temperature.

It appears from table 4 that the heatsink is sufficiently large for this worst case situation when placed inside a
monitor. It should be noted that it takes the heatsink about half an hour to heat up. This means this worst case
temperature of 98.7 °C is not likely to occur, because an on/off picture is hardly ever displayed for half an hour.

DESIGN HINTS
When developing a printed circuit board for the TDA4885 and/or the CR6927, certain design rules and hints
have to be taken into account. The most critical items are highlighted in the following subparagraphs.
5.1
Ground Routing
A printed circuit video amplifier board that has to operate at frequencies higher than 40 MHz, a double-sided
board is needed. The copper in this second side should be used as much as possible as a ground plane. If only
ground tracks are used, signal loops will be created. Through these loops, ground currents flow that can easily
cause oscillations. In case of a ground plane on one board side, there are hardly any loops which means the
chance on ground currents to cause oscillations is limited. The plane also shields the board from electromagnetic radiation from and to the environment (EMI). This plane, however, does create parasitic capacitance to
the signal paths. In order to avoid parasitic capacitance to high-frequency video signal paths, the plane area
directly near these signal paths should be cleared.
5.2
Supply
Low voltage supplies (+11 V and -18 V) must enter the board via a series resistor (about 1-10 Ω) and be
controlled by a voltage stabilizer or zener diode. The stabiliser should be decoupled by a capacitor (100-330 nF)
on both input and output. Output must be stabilised by an elcap of 10 - 68 µF. From this point, the supply voltage
must be led to the corresponding voltage pins via a 1-10 Ω series resistor. These supply pins must be locally
decoupled by a (chip) capacitor of about 100 nF, placed as close as possible to the pin itself.
For the high voltage supply of 78 V of the CR6927, similar rules must be followed, only for the series resistors, it
is recommended to use 1 Ω. This is necessary in order to reduce supply variations by high peak currents. This is
not necessary for the +185 V supply, it enters the board via 100Ω, because high peak currents do not occur.
5.3
Buffer
A buffer between pre- and output amplifier is applied, because the maximum sink and source current of the
TDA4885 outputs are 12 and 15 mA respectively. The CR6927 needs a higher current in order to achieve its
maximum rise and fall times. The necessary current can be calculated by equation 5, based on the fall time
(video black to white transition), which is best visible on screen.
Equ. 5
More information on the internal capacitance (2.4 pF) is given in appendix 8.
A fall time of 3.5 ns (measured from 10% to 90% of the voltage swing) and a maximum voltage swing of 50 Vpp
(40 V 10%-90%), this yields:
The buffer is an emitter follower (npn transistor BFG35) with an emitter resistor to -8 V supply, that will determine
the sink and source current. During white video level of the TDA4885 output, the buffer current must be at least
26.3 mA. Video white level for a 50 Vpp output swing is:
Vclamp+Vpedestal+Vsignal = 0.7+0.45+4.0 = 5.15 V. The emitter resistor value has to be:
25
Philips Semiconductors
Video Amplifier Board
with TDA4885 and CR6927
Application Note
AN97039
Equ. 7
This minimal value could be experimentally increased (current decreased) until a noticeably slower fall time is
reached.
If it is chosen not to implement a buffer in trade of slower transition times, this feedback pin can be connected
directly to the TDA4885 output pin.
Note: If the emitter of this buffer is fed back to the TDA4885 and is connected to a negative supply (via a
resistor), this may cause a latch-up situation. Therefore, the feedback pin must be set to > 300mV during startup. This is achieved by a divider from +8 V (resistors R*24/R*11) to the buffer’s emitter, which sets the feedback
pin to about 1 V during start-up.
5.4
Black Level Control
Black level (at the cathodes) control is achieved by a clamp diode DC-restore circuit. The clamp diode restores
the cathode voltage to a defined black level during the clamp pulse. The defined black level is created by Three
DC-amplifiers, driven by the external reference voltages Vref of the TDA4885. A range of 50 V-75 V is chosen,
because the lowest level may not be negative during video, but the level should also be as low as possible, in
order to allow Vg1 to be as little negative as possible. The three DC-amplifiers (T*02, where ’*’ stands for channel
1, 2 or 3) receive a temperature-compensated voltage at their emitters. The transistors are connected in a
feedback circuit, in which ∆Vref is approximately amplified by Rfb\Rin = R*20\R*21 = 91k\5k6 = 16 times. The
output voltage range must cover the maximum cut-off voltage difference of the cathodes, which is 25 V for 17"
tubes. Cathode voltage will be 8-10 V lower, because the emitter voltage of T*02 is set at 8-10 V. The resistors
R*19 at the collector are applied to limit the collector-emitter voltage of T*02.
5.5
Speed-up
In order to achieve the best possible rise and fall times, a speed-up circuit has to be applied over Rin of the
CR6927. The input circuit consists of two series RC-combinations. The value of Rin is divided in a large and small
part. Speed-up capacitors C*03 and C*04 speed up the slope of the CR6927 output signal by increasing the
high-frequency gain. Start values for C*03/C*04 can be calculated by first measuring the CR6927 output time
constant (τo ≈ 20-25 ns), this is done by only connecting a resistor as input network. The time constant, created
by C*03 * R*09 and C*04 * R*10 must then be made equal to this value (where τo2 ≈ {(C*03*R*09)2 +
(C*04*R*10)2}).
Mostly, the created time constant(s) must be decreased in order to limit overshoot. The optimized values for this
application are:
- R*09/C*03 = 270E/68pF;
- R*10/C*04 = 56E/82pF.
Note: The calculations above are just a guideline and optimal values are obtained experimentally.

Application Note

Accu Colour
With Accu Colour, white colour temperature is adjustable. This colour temperature is adjustable by the gain
setting of the three R/G/B channels. The TDA4885 has individual gain control with a range of 7 dB. This is
needed for three functions:
1- Absolute sensitivity channels: proportion beam current that is necessary for the separate R/G/B guns in
order to achieve white with a certain colour temperature.
2- Spread sensitivity channels: spread on the absolute sensitivity mentioned above.
3- Accu Colour.
The first function could be implemented in hardware by applying different input resistors at the input pins of the
CR6927 three colour channels. This enables an individually adjustable gain. If the gain modulation pins are not
used, gain adjustment can be applied at these pins (see paragraph 5.6 here below).
The second function of gain adjustment of the TDA4885 is the compensation for the spread on channel
sensitivity. This function needs 3 dB at maximum.
The third function is Accu Colour and for this, the TDA4885 leaves a 4 dB control range. This range will be
sufficient for adjusting colour temperature from, for instance, 3500 K to 7000 K or 5000 K to 10,000 K.
5.7
Gain Modulation
Some picture tubes have a relatively large decrease of light output towards the edges. By applying a dynamic
waveform to the gain modulation inputs (pin 12, 13 and 14 of TDA4885), this light output decrease can be
compensated. In a simple application, a parabolic waveform of horizontal frequency can be applied to the three
pins simultaneously. For this, the HFOCUS signal from deflection controller TDA4855 is suitable. Only the
left/right loss on the display is then compensated. In a high performance application, top/bottom losses can also
be compensated by applying three separately adjustable signals from an X/Y wave form generator or a parabola
generator, such as deflection controller TDA4854.
If brightness uniformity is not implemented, the gain modulation pins can be used for gain adjustment. This can
be achieved by either a DC-potentiometer or an external DAC (for instance from Pulse Width Modulation output
of µC). In this way, the gain adjustment DAC’s of the TDA4885 are free for an enlarged Accu Colour user range.
5.8
Smearing Compensation
If the video board is applied without any compensation networks, it shows some visual smearing. Therefore, two
smearing compensation networks are implemented on the board:
- An RC-series network, parallel to the input network of the CR6927, for the compensation of the TDA4885
smearing. This is a smearing that shows an undershoot (D≈7-8%) with time constant
τs,1≈50 ns. The value of compensation resistor R*23 is calculated in equation 8.

Equ. 8
The value for C*11 must be: τs,1\R*23 = 50ns\4k3 = 12pF.
- An RC-series network, from output to input of the CR6927 in order to compensate its own smearing. This is an
overshoot smearing (D≈2%) with time constant τs,2≈15µs. The value for compensation resistor R*14 must be
calculated by equation 9:
Equ. 9
The RC-combination must match the smearing time constant:
C*07 = τs,2\R*14 = 15µs\220k = 68pF.
Note: These compensation values are start values, the final values must be obtained experimentally.

APPENDIX 4: MONITOR ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
The cut-off voltage of the three R/G/B guns is different and the monitor must be aligned to compensate for this
voltage difference. Most of the following alignment procedure can be done by the TDA4885 software, except
Vg2. It is specified for a video board with AC-coupling to the cathodes. Figure 15 clarifies what the several
adjustments do to the cathode voltages.
- Set Vg2 to minimum, so that the three CRT cut-off levels are too low;
- Set the three black level DAC’s at maximum with positive feedback and with pedestal blanking (DAC=FF,
FPOL=1, PEDST=1). Check: Vcath ≈ 75 V.
- Set Contrast and Brightness to nominal values (Contrast: 26hex, Brightness: 10hex);
- Apply video signal test pattern and disable video (DISV=1). The output will be at reference black;
- Increase Vg2 slowly until one colour becomes just visible;
- Decrease cathode voltage of remaining colours by decreasing the corresponding black level DAC until these
colours also become just visible;
- Enable video (DISV=0);
- Adjust the three gain DAC’s until the desired white point (colour temperature) luminance is obtained.

APPENDIX 5: CALCULATIONS FLASH RESISTOR
Purpose of the flash resistor from coupling capacitor to cathode is to limit flash diode current when a flash occurs
without limiting the video bandwidth of the system. Maximum non-repetitive diode current (BAV21) is 1 A for a
pulse ≤ 1 s and 5 A for a pulse ≤ 1 µs. If a flash occurs, it is led away from the video stage by the spark-gap and
flash diode to the DC-amplifier elcap. The RC-filter that is formed by the flash resistor and the load capacitance
(tube) is the limiting factor. Assuming a video bandwidth of 100 MHz, the cross-over frequency of the RC-filter
must by larger than 300 MHz. The influence of the RC-filter is then limited to 5%. Load capacitance is about 9 pF
(see equation 4), which yields a maximum flash resistor value of:
Equ. 10
A flashover consists of two phases:
- Before ignition of the spark-gap, a voltage of 2 kV is present for a time < 50 ns. The maximum flash resistor
value of 60 Ω limits the diode current to 2 kV\60 Ω ≈ 30 A. This is clearly more then the specified maximum of
5 A. In practice, the inductance of wires and print tracks limits the diode current to less than 30 A and the
BAV21 can withstand this very short pulse.
- After ignition of the spark-gap, a voltage of 150 V is present for a time < 1 µs. Now, a current from the voltage
of 150 V - 50 V (minimum elcap voltage) = 100 V must be limited to ≤ 5 A. This means the flash resistor must
have a minimum value of 100 \ 5 = 20 Ω. A value of 47 Ω is chosen (safety margin).

APPENDIX 8: POWER DISSIPATION CR6927
In order to calculate the necessary heatsink size for the video module, the maximum power dissipation of the
video module has to be calculated. The power dissipation of an active load amplifier can be calculated by adding
static and dynamic power. Static power is dissipated in the emitter resistors, the bias resistors R1, R2 and R3
(see figure 5) and Rfb. The DC current IDC is specified in its data sheet to be 30mA (Vsup = 78 V) for one channel.
Equation 11 below calculates static power of one channel:
Dynamic power is mainly dissipated in the buffer transistors and depends on output voltage swing, load and
internal capacitance and switching frequency. Equation 12 defines dynamic power dissipation of one colour
channel.
Equ. 12
Where b is the blanking factor, during this part of a line time, there is no video signal. Power dissipating load
capacitance is defined in equation 4 of paragraph 4.1 and internal (of buffer transistors CR6927) capacitance is
2.4 pF, adding up to: 8.95pF + 2.4pF = 11.35 pF. Maximum voltage swing is 50 V, Cload,dissipating = 11.35 pF and
fswitch = 100 MHz. Equation 13 specifies the maximum dynamic power for one channel:
Equ. 13
Total maximum power dissipation is the sum of static and dynamic power dissipation, yielding:
3 * (2.3+3.3) = 16.8 W.
