The LM2202 is a very high frequency video amplifier system
intended for use in high resolution monochrome or RGB
color monitor applications. In addition to the wideband video
amplifier theLM2202contains a gated differential input black
level clamp comparator for brightness control, a DC controlled attenuator for contrast control and a DC controlled
sub contrast attenuator for drive control. The DC control for
the contrast attenuator is pinned out separately to provide a
more accurate control system for RGB color monitor applications. All DC controls offer a high input impedance and operate over a 0V to 4V range for easy interface to bus controlled
alignment systems. The LM2202 operates from a nominal
12V supply but can be operated with supply voltages down
to 8V for applications that require reduced IC package power
dissipation characteristics.

Circuit Description
Figure 2
shows a block diagram of the LM2202 video amplifier along with contrast and brightness (black level) control.
Contrast control is a DC-operated attenuator which varies
the AC gain of the amplifier. Signal attenuation (contrast) is
achieved by varying the base drive to a differential pair and
thereby unbalancing the current through the differential pair.
As shown in
www.national.com4
Figure 2
, pin 20 provides a 5.3V bias voltage for
the positive input of the attenuator (pin 1). Pin 3 provides a
control voltage for the negative input (pin 2) of the attenuator.
The voltage at pin 3 varies as the voltage at the contrast control input (pin 8) varies thus providing signal attenuation. The
gain is maximum (0 dB attenuation) if the voltage at pin 8 is
4V and is minimum (maximum attenuation) if the voltage at
pin 8 is 0V. The 0V to 4V DC-operated drive control at pin 9

providesa6dBgain adjustment range. This feature is necessary for RGB applications where independent gain adjustment of each channel is required.
The brightness or black level clamping requires a “sample
and hold” circuit which holds the DC bias of the video amplifier constant during the black level reference portion of the
video waveform. Black level clamping, often referred to as
DC restoration, is accomplished by applying a back porch
clamp signal to the clamp gate input pin (pin 14). The clamp
comparator is enabled when the clamp signal goes low during the black level reference period (see
clamp comparator is enabled, the clamp capacitor connected to pin 12 is either charged or discharged until the voltage at the minus input of the comparator matches the voltage set at the plus input of the comparator. During the video
portion of the signal, the clamp comparator is disabled and
the clamp capacitor holds the proper DC bias. In a DC
coupled cathode drive application, picture brightness function can be achieved by varying the voltage at the comparator’s plus input. Note that the back porch clamp pulse width

and level shift the contrast voltage to the base of Q36. The

at pin 8 is greater than 2V then Q36’s collector current increases, thus pulling Q38’s collector node lower and consequently moving Q38’s base below 5.3V.With pin 2 at a lower
