description
The TMS3471C is a monolithic integrated circuit
designed to supply timing signals for the Texas
Instruments (TI) 11-mm diagonal TC241 monochrome CCD image sensor. The TMS3471C
supplies both CCD drive signals and NTSC
television synchronization signals at standard
video rates. It requires a single 5-V supply voltage
and a 14.318-MHz crystal-oscillator input. The
TMS3471C provides several options, including
multiple antiblooming modes, clamp-pulse selection, and delayed horizontal transfer.

The TMS3471C is used in conjunction with
level-shifting devices such as the TI TMS3473B
parallel driver and the TI TMS3472A serial driver.
It also supplies sample-and-hold signals for the TI TL1593 three-channel sample-and-hold and multiplex signals
for the TI TL1051 video preprocessor. The TMS3471C NTSC synchronization-signal outputs include composite
sync, composite blank, clamp, subcarrier, subcarrier delayed by 90 degrees, and burst flag.
The TMS3471C is supplied in a 44-pin plastic flat package and is characterized for operation from – 20°C
to 45°C.
This device contains circuits to protect its inputs and outputs against damage due to high static voltages or electrostatic fields. These
circuits have been qualified to protect this device against electrostatic discharges (ESD) of up to 2 kV according to MIL-STD-883C,
Method 3015; however, precautions should be taken to avoid application of any voltage higher than maximum-rated voltages to these
high-impedance circuits. During storage or handling, the device leads should be shorted together or the device should be placed in
conductive foam. In a circuit, unused inputs should always be connected to an appropriate logic voltage level, preferably either VCC or ground.
Specific guidelines for handling devices of this type are contained in the publication Guidelines for Handling Electrostatic-Discharge-Sensitive
(ESDS) Devices and Assemblies available from Texas Instruments.

The levels on BCPS0 and BCPS1 determine the placement and duration of the BCP1 and BCP2 pulses
relative to the horizontal scan timing (see Figure 4 for the truth table for BCPS0 and BCPS1 and for the
corresponding BCP1 and BCP2 pulse placements).

A 0.1-µF capacitor is connected between SB and GND.
The VD output is fed back to GP.
The 256 CCD refresh pulses are generated on PI, PS, and T even if VD is not fed back to GP.
When SB is low, PI, PS, T, S1, S2,3, GT, and PD are all low and ABIN is high.

NOTES: A. When VD is low and GP goes low, 244 pulses are generated on PI, PS, and T.
B. If VD is high and not fed back to GP, then pulsing GP results in 256 pulses being generated on PI, PS, and T. This can be useful
in clearing the imager. An external logic circuit is used to pulse GP.
