The following table gives an overview on all jumper and switches of the TVTEXT PRO Evaluation
Board. The setting recommended in the last column is used for operation with ext. ROM, e.g. for
running the demo software P090VXXX and a television connected via the SCART connector.

4.1. RGB Buffer Stage and TVTEXT PRO Design Step V0.1
The RGB buffer stage of the TVTEXT PRO Evaluation Board is designed for the specified RGB
voltage offset of 0.3V and a gain adjustment of 1.2V. Due to a bug (see Errata Sheet V1.0, H8) in the
DAC module of the first test chip of TVTEXT PRO (V0.1) the RGB buffer stage of the TVTEXT PROEvaluation Board is not working well. Colour will not be displayed correctly. Especially if the board is
used together with TEDIpro (OSD and Font Editor) and the first design step of TVTEXT PRO (V0.1)
the RGB buffer stage should be reworked to get the right colours at the SCART connector.

4.2. COR/BLANK Decoder
The COR/BLANK decoder circuit is used to separate the BLANK signal and the COR signal (contrast
reduction) out of the combined COR/BLANK signal provided by the TVTEXT PRO. The on-board
COR/BLANK decoder connected to pin 60 (MQFP100 package) of the TVTEXT PRO as shown in the
circuit diagram cannot be used, because it is working much to slow. Furthermore the COR function of
the TVTEXT PRO in the first test chip V0.1 is not working (see Errata Sheet V1.0, H2).
4.3. BLANK Signal and TVTEXT PRO Design Step V0.1
Due to a malfunction of the BLANK pin (TVTEXT PRO Errata V1.0, H2) an external pull-up resistor is
required to generate the BLANK high level if TVTEXT PRO design step V0.1 is used. This resistor
(200 Ohms) is already applied in all Evaluation Boards with TVTEXT PRO samples design step V0.1.
This resistor must be removed if other design steps of TVTEXT PRO than V0.1 are used.
4.4. 2.5V Power Supply and TVTEXT PRO Design Step V0.1
Due to a short between the 3.3V and 2.5V power domain on-chip of the TVTEXT PRO V0.1 (see
Errata Sheet V1.0, H11) the 2.5V voltage on-board is increased. This can be avoided by
disconnecting the 3.3V power from pin 40 (MQFP100 package) and connecting 2.5V to this pin. Doing
this will also decrease the output voltage of Port 3 and Port 4.2-3 to 2.5V. This should only be done if
accurately converted values of the ADC modules are needed or the slicer performance is measured.
The labelling of the switches SW02, SW03 and SW04 is inverted.
SW02 (selection of CVBS source for the Slicer):
If the jumper is set to ‘CVBS-BNC’ the slicer is supplied with the CVBS signal from the SCART
connector. If the jumper is set to ‘SCART’ the slicer is supplied with the CVBS signal from the BNC
connector.
SW03 (selection of CVBS source for the sync separator):
If the jumper is set to ‘CVBS-BNC’ the sync separator is supplied with the CVBS signal from the
SCART connector. If the jumper is set to ‘SCART’ the sync separator is supplied with the CVBS
signal from the BNC connector.
SW04 (selection of sync source for the HS/SC input pin):
If the jumper is set to ‘SSC’ the HS/SC input pin of the TVTEXT PRO is supplied with the H-sync
signal from the sync separator. If the jumper is set to ‘HSYNC’ the HS/ SC input pin of the TVTEXT
PRO is supplied with the Sandcastle signal from the sync separator.
5.2. Voltage Level of H-Sync and Sandcastle Signal
The horizontal synchronisation signal (H-sync) or Sandcastle signal connected to pin 29 (MQFP100
package) of the TVTEXT PRO may not exceed a voltage level of 2.5V. Some boards delivered in the
first weeks could have a wrong H-sync/sandcastle level. This will cause disturbance on the 2.5V
power domain and can influence the slicer performance. Hence we recommend to decrease the level
of the H-sync and Sandcastle signal to max. 2.5V. Therefore the hot end of R40 and R43 must be
disconnected from the 3.3V power domain and connected to 2.5V power supply. R41 has to be
replaced by a 2k7 Ohm resistor.
5.3. Address Lines to SRAM
Some address lines between TVTEXT PRO and SRAM are connected in a wrong way. Following
address lines have to be connect as follow (only used for more than 10 page acquisition software):
Pin 31 of IC05 (W# pin of Flash ROM) must be pulled high (to 3.3V) permanently by a resistor (100
kOhm) or short connection to 3.3V. Otherwise the Flash device is not working stable. Most boards are
already delivered with a 100-kOhm pull-up resistor.
5.5. Pull-up Resistor for Infrared Receiver
The output of the on-board infrared receiver needs a 2k7 Ohm pull-up resistor connected to 3.3V for
correct operation. This resistor is already drawn in the circuit diagram (R34) but there is no position on
the PCB. Most boards are already delivered with a pull-up resistor.
