EL1881C EL1881C Sync Separator, Low Power Features General Description • NTSC, PAL, SECAM, nonstandard video sync separation • Fixed 70mV slicing of video input levels from 0.5VP-P to 2VP-P • Low supply current - 1.5mA typ. • Single +5V supply • Composite, vertical sync output • Odd/even field output • Burst/back porch output • Available in 8-pin PDIP and SO packages The EL1881C video sync separator is manufactured using Elantec’s high performance analog CMOS process. This device extracts sync timing information from both standard and non-standard video input. It provides composite sync, vertical sync, burst/back porch timing, and odd/even field detection. Fixed 70mV sync tip slicing provides sync edge detection when the video input level is between 0.5VP-P and 2VP-P (sync tip amplitude 143mV to 572mV). A single external resistor sets all internal timing to adjust for various video standards. The composite sync output follows video in sync pulses and a vertical sync pulse is output on the rising edge of the first vertical serration following the vertical pre-equalizing string. For non-standard vertical inputs, a default vertical pulse is output when the vertical signal stays low for longer than the vertical sync default delay time. The odd/even output indicates field polarity detected during the vertical blanking interval. The EL1881C is plug-in compatible with the industry-standard LM1881 and can be substituted for that part in 5V applications with lower required supply current.

Back porch goes low for a fixed pulse width on the trailing edge of video input sync pulses. Note that for serration pulses during vertical, the back porch starts on the rising edge of the serration pulse (with propagation delay). * Signal 1a drawing reproduced with permission from EIA.

Sync Detail 9 EL1881C EL1881C Sync Separator, Low Power EL1881C EL1881C Sync Separator, Low Power Applications Information Video In The vertical cycle starts with a pre-equalizing phase of pulses with a duty cycle of about 93%, followed by a vertical serration phase that has a duty cycle of about 15%. Vertical Sync is clocked out of the EL1881C on the first rising edge during the vertical serration phase. In the absence of vertical serration pulses, a vertical sync pulse will be forced out after the vertical sync default delay time, approximately 60µS after the last falling edge of the vertical equalizing phase for RSET = 681kΩ. A simplified block diagram is shown following page. An AC coupled video signal is input to Video In pin 2 via C1, nominally 0.1µF. Clamp charge current will prevent the signal on pin 2 from going any more negative than Sync Tip Ref, about 1.5V. This charge current is nominally about 1mA. A clamp discharge current of about 10µA is always attempting to discharge C1 to Sync Tip Ref, thus charge is lost between sync pulses that must be replaced during sync pulses. The droop voltage that will occur can be calculated from IT = CV, where V is the droop voltage, I is the discharge current, T is the time between sync pulses (sync period - sync tip width), and C is C1. Odd/Even Because a typical television picture is composed of two interlaced fields, there is an odd field that includes all the odd lines, and an even field that consists of the even lines. This odd/even field information is decoded by the EL1881C during the end of picture information and the beginning of vertical information. The odd/even circuit includes a T-flip-flop that is reset during full horizontal lines, but not during half lines or vertical equalization pulses. The T-flip-flop is clocked during each falling edge of these half hperiod pulses. Even fields will toggle until a low state is clocked to the odd/even pin 7 at the beginning of vertical sync, and odd fields will cause a high state to be clocked to the odd/even pin at the start of the next vertical sync pulse. Odd/even can be ignored if using non-interlaced video, as there is no change in timing from one field to the next. An NTSC video signal has a horizontal frequency of 15.73kHz, and a sync tip width of 4.7µs. This gives a period of 63.6µs and a time T = 58.9µs. The droop voltage will then be V = 5.9mV. This is less than 2% of a nominal sync tip amplitude of 286mV. The charge represented by this droop is replaced in a time given by T = CV/I, where I = clamp charge current = 1mA. Here T = 590ns, about 12% of the sync pulse width of 4.7µs. It is important to choose C1 large enough so that the droop voltage does not approach the switching threshold of the internal comparator. Fixed Gain Buffer RSET The clamped video signal then passes to the fixed gain buffer which places the sync slice level at the equivalent level of 70mV above sync tip. The output of this buffer is presented to the comparator, along with the slice reference. The comparator output is level shifted and buffered to TTL levels, and sent out as Composite Sync to pin 1. An external RSET resistor, connected from RSET pin 6 to ground, produces a reference current that is used internally as the timing reference for vertical sync width, vertical sync default delay, burst gate delay and burst width. Decreasing the value of RSET increases the reference current, which in turn decreases reference times and pulse widths. A higher frequency video input necessitates a lower RSET value. Burst A low-going Burst pulse follows each rising edge of sync, and lasts approximately 3.5µs for an RSET of 681kΩ. Chroma Filter A chroma filter is suggested to increase the S/N ratio of the incoming video signal. Use of the optional chroma filter is shown in Figure 5. It can be implemented very simply and inexpensively with a series resistor of 620Ω and a parallel capacitor of 500pF, which gives a single Vertical Sync A low-going Vertical Sync pulse is output during the start of the vertical cycle of the incoming video signal. 10 15kHz sync signals without appreciable attenuation. A chroma filter will increase the propagation delay from the composite input to the outputs. pole roll-off frequency of about 500kHz. This sufficiently attenuates the 3.58MHz (NTSC) or 4.43MHz (PAL) color burst signal, yet passes the approximately Figure 5. Simplified Block Diagram * Note: RSET must be a 1% resistor.
