LM1283
140 MHz RGB Video Amplifier System with On Screen
Display (OSD)
General Description
The LM1283 is a full feature video amplifier with OSD inputs,
all within a 28-pin package. This part is intended for use in
monitors with resolutions up to 1280 x 1024. The video section of the LM1283 features three matched video amplifiers
with blanking. All of the video amplifier adjustments feature
high input impedance 0V to 4V DC controls, providing easy
interfacing to bus controlled alignment systems. The OSD
section features three TTL inputs and a DC contrast control.
The switching between the OSD and video section is controlled by a single TTL input. Although the OSD signals are
TTL inputs, these signals are internally processed to match
the OSD logic low level to the video black level. When adjusting the drive controls for color balance of the video signal, the color balance of the OSD display will track these
color adjustments. The LM1283 also features an internal
spot killer circuit to protect the CRT when the monitor is
turned off. For applications without OSD insertion please refer to the LM1205 or LM1208 data sheets.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Rating indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur.
Note 2: Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and
test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
Note 3: VCC supply pins 6, 9, and 22 must be externally wired together to prevent internal damage during VCC power on/off cycles.
Note 4: Human body model, 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor.
Note 5: Typical specifications are specified at +25˚C and represent the most likely parametric norm.
Note 6: Tested limits are guaranteed to National’s AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 7: The supply current specified is the quiescent current for VCC1 and VCC2 with RL = ∞, see Figure 5’s test circuit. The supply current for VCC2 (pin 22) also
depends on the output load. With video output at 1V DC, the additional current through VCC2 is 8 mA for Figure 5’s test circuit.
Note 8: Output voltage is dependent on load resistor. Test circuit uses RL = 390Ω.
Note 9: Measure gain difference between any two amplifiers. VIN = 635 mVPP.
Note 10: ∆AV track is a measure of the ability of any two amplifiers to track each other and quantifies the matching of the three attenuators. It is the difference in
gain change between any two amplifiers with the contrast voltage (V13) at either 4V or 2V measured relative to an AV max condition, V13 = 4V. For example, at AV
max the three amplifiers’ gains might be 17.1 dB, 16.9 dB, and 16.8 dB and change to 11.2 dB, 10.9 dB and 10.7 dB respectively for V13 = 2V. This yields the measured typical ± 0.1 dB channel tracking.
Note 11: When measuring video amplifier bandwidth or pulse rise and fall times, a double sided full ground plane printed circuit board without socket is recommended. Video amplifier 10 MHz isolation test also requires this printed circuit board. The reason for a double sided full ground plane PCB is that large measurement
variations occur in single sided PCBs.
Note 12: Adjust input frequency from 10 MHz (AV max reference level) to the −3 dB corner frequency (f−3 dB).
Note 13: Measure output levels of the other two undriven amplifiers relative to the driven amplifier to determine channel separation. Terminate the undriven amplifier
inputs to simulate generator loading. Repeat test at fIN = 10 MHz for Vsep 10 MHz.
Note 14: A minimum pulse width of 200 ns is guaranteed for a horizontal line of 15 kHz. This limit is guaranteed by design. If a lower line rate is used a longer clamp
pulse may be required.
Note 15: During the AC test the 4V DC level is the center voltage of the AC output signal. For example, if the output is 4 VPP the signal will swing between 2V DC
and 6V DC.
Note 16: When V1 = V2 = V3 = 0V and the video input is 0.7V, then tr (OSD) = 11 ns and tf (OSD) = 4 ns. The Video Output waveform will be inverted from the one
shown in Figure 3. Thus tr (OSD) is actually a fall time and tf (OSD) is actually a rise time in this condition.
Note 17: Machine Model ESD test is covered by specification EIAJ IC-121-1981. A 200 pF cap is charged to the specified voltage, then discharged directly into the
IC with no external series resistor (resistor of discharge path must be under 50Ω).

RGB Cutoff Adjust
Description
Sets the black level of the video outputs to all
three channels. Range is 0V to 4V. Minimum
black level is limited to about 300 mV.
The output stage is the −A2 amplifier. This stage is similar to
the LM1205 output stage, where the video output can be
blanked to a level below the video black level. A blacker than
black output during blanking provides the capability to blank
at the cathodes of the CRT. This eliminates the need for using high voltage transistors at G1 of the CRT to perform the
blanking function. When the outputs are blanked the
LM1283 can still DC restore the video output signal by using
the Clamp Gate. There is an internal feedback stage that
does the DC restoration. In order to maintain the correct
video levels based on this feedback loop, the video output of
the LM1283 must be terminated with a 390Ω impedance.
The required correction voltage for DC restoration is stored
on the clamp cap. A value of 0.1 µF is recommended for the
clamp cap. If the cap value is too small then there will be a tilt
(shift) in the DC level of the video output during the horizontal scan. If the cap value is too large, then the DC restoration
circuit may not be able to maintain the proper DC level of the
video signal. Since DC restoration is also done at the video
inputs, larger clamp cap values will be less of a problem with
the LM1283 than with most other video preamps. The reference level for the DC restoration circuit is set at the RGB
Cutoff Adjust pin (pin 25). Most monitor applications AC
couple the preamp output to the cathode drivers. Therefore
only one cutoff adjustment is provided, this is used primarily
to optimize the operation of the cathode drivers.
Note that the Blank and Clamp Gates are active low. These
pins are normally controlled by standard TTL signals. For
video applications the Clamp Gate must be used. There are
designs where the blank function may not be required. When
the Blank Gate is not used, it must be tied high by a pullup
resistor. A resistor value of 47k is acceptable, going to either
4V or 12V.
Gain of −A2 is controlled by the Drive Adjust pins. These are
also 0V to 4V control voltages. 4V results in no attenuation at
−A2, and 0V results in a −12 dB attenuation. The 12 dB adjustment range should provide more than enough adjustment for setting the white level. Note that a 12 dB range
gives a 4 to 1 range in the output levels between the three
channels.
Functional Description
Figure 1 on the front page shows the block diagram of the
LM1283 along with the pinout of the IC. Each channel receives both a video signal and an OSD signal at its input amplifier (−A1). The Video/OSD Switch signal also goes to the
input amplifiers, controlling whether the video or the OSD
signal passes through the LM1283. Both the OSD inputs and
the Video/OSD Switch accept standard TTL signals. If video
is selected then a TTL low is applied to pin 4, for OSD a TTL
high needs to be applied. When the OSD feature is not used,
then pin 4 needs to be connected to ground via a 47k resistor. Although the OSD input signal is a TTL signal, the input
amplifier processes this signal to match the video levels. A
TTL high signal will be at the video white level and a TTL low
signal will typically be within 100 mV of the video black level.
Note that by using the LM1283 the monitor designer connects the OSD input signals directly to the IC with NO signal
processing.
DC restoration is performed on the video inputs to the
LM1283. Remember video inputs are always AC coupled to
the video pre-amp. There is no DC standard for the video input, therefore AC coupling the video inputs is necessary for
proper operation of the monitor. A minimum capacitance of
1 µF is recommended at the video input pins. The preferred
value is 10 µF. Part of the signal processing of the TTL OSD
inputs is matching the black level of the OSD signal (TTL
low) to the black level of the video signal. With AC coupling
of the video inputs, DC restoration must be done at the input
to perform the black level matching.
The next stage in the LM1283 is the Contrast Attenuation.
Both the video and OSD contrast controls go to this stage.
For easy interfacing to 5V DACs all control inputs, including
these two controls, use a 0V to 4V range. Both contrast controls give no attenuation at 4V and full attenuation (over
−50 dB) at 0V. The video and OSD contrast adjustments are
completely independent of each other, allowing the user to
set the desired contrast of the OSD window without affecting
the video portion of the display. There is only one output from
this section, any adjustments on the signal path beyond the
contrast stage affects both the video signal and the OSD signal.
Applications of the LM1283
Following the Contrast Attenuation block is the Drive Attenuation. By having the Drive Attenuation past the contrast
stage, any adjustment made on the video signal will equally
affect the OSD signal. This configuration simplifies the white
level adjustment. When the white level of the video is adjusted then the OSD white level is automatically set. The
only OSD adjustment necessary when using the LM1283 is
the OSD contrast. Note that when performing the white level
adjustments the video portion of the display must be used,
because there are minor variations between the OSD levels
and the video levels.
A schematic for a demonstration board is shown in Figure 7.
This board was used for the characterization of the LM1283.
Note that a 33Ω resistor is in series with all inputs to the IC
that receive external signals. These resistors are necessary
to protect the IC from any sudden voltage surges that may
result during the power up and power down modes, or when
connecting the monitor to other equipment. The monitor designer must include these resistors in his design. If additional
protection against ESD at the video inputs is necessary, then
adding clamp diodes on the IC side of the 33Ω resistor is rec11

Applications of the LM1283
one point, ideally where the ground cable is connected to the
board ground. Yes, all grounds are connected internally, but
trace resistance can still allow for ground bounce, giving
enough feedback for oscillations. The output stage power
supply pin, pin 22, does not have an internal connection to
the other power supply pins. This pin must be connected to
the +12V supply, preferably with high frequency isolation.
This is easily done with a ferrite bead between pin 22 and the
+12V supply. Figure 8 and Figure 9 show the waveform obtained with the LM1283 using the single sided demo board
designed for this part.

ommended; one to VCC1 and one to ground. Normally a designer may want to increase the value of the 33Ω resistor at
pins 5, 8, and 11 for additional ESD protection at the video
inputs. Remember that the input capacitor to the video inputs
is also part of the DC restoration circuit. This circuit is depending on a maximum circuit resistance of about 110Ω. The
33Ω resistors should not be increased in value. The designer
does have the option of decreasing the 10 µF video input capacitors down to 1 µF. The internal ESD protection and the
external clamp diodes, one to +12V and the other to ground,
will provide excellent ESD protection.
Interfacing to the OSD inputs is quite easy since the signal
processing necessary to match the OSD signals to the video
levels is done internally by the LM1283. However, proper design techniques must be followed in assuring that a good
TTL signal is received at the LM1283. Ground bounce in the
TTL signal can cause improper switching times, possibly
with multiple switching. Such affects will result in degradation
in the quality of the displayed OSD window. The final TTL
stage needs to be located near the LM1283 to assure clean
TTL signals. Propagation delay is another source capable of
degrading the OSD display. The optimum condition is to
have all OSD signals originate from one register, keeping the
variation in the propagation delays under 5 ns. If the OSD
feature is not used, or the lines may be disconnected for
some testing operations, then the Video/OSD Switch pin (pin
4) must have a pull down resistor to ground to insure operation in the video mode. Using a 47k pull down resistor will
keep this pin low, and provide enough resistance to where
the pin can still be driven directly by a TTL signal. Pins 1
through 3 should also be terminated the same way, eliminating the potential to switch logic levels just from the noise at
the open pins.

FIGURE 8. LM1283 Rise Time
Figure 2 through Figure 4 show the timing diagrams for the
LM1283. When measuring propagation delays all TTL signals are measured at the time they cross 1.3V. The video
output is set to 4 VPP. Propagation delay is measured when
the output is half way in its transition (changed by 2V). Rise
and fall times of the video output are measured between the
10% and 90% points of the transitions.
Board layout is always critical in a high frequency application
such as using the LM1283. A poor layout can result in ringing
of the video waveform after sudden transitions, or the part
could actually oscillate. A good ground plane and proper
routing of the +12V are important steps to a good PCB layout. The LM1283 can operate on a single sided board with a
good layout. A ground plane is recommended and it is best to
isolate the output stage grounds from the rest of the circuit.
