FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Horizontal sync separator and polarity correction
HSYNC (pin 15) is the input for horizontal synchronization signals, which can be DC-coupled TTL signals (horizontal or composite sync) and AC-coupled negative-going video sync signals. Video syncs are clamped to 1.28 V and sliced at 1.4 V. This results in a fixed absolute slicing level of 120 mV related to top sync.
For DC-coupled TTL signals the input clamping current is limited. The slicing level for TTL signals is 1.4 V.
The separated sync signal (either video or TTL) is integrated on an internalcapacitor to detect and normalize the sync polarity.
Normalized horizontal sync pulses are used as input signals for the vertical sync integrator, the PLL1 phase detector and the frequency-locked loop.
The presence of equalization pulses is allowed for correct function of the PLL1 phase detector only in TV mode.
MGM067
Fig.4 Pin configuration for TDA4854.
Vertical sync integrator
Normalized composite sync signals from HSYNC are integrated on an internal capacitor in order to extract vertical sync pulses. The integration time is dependent on the horizontal oscillator reference current at HREF (pin 28). The integrator output directly triggers the vertical oscillator.
Vertical sync slicer and polarity correction
Vertical sync signals (TTL) applied to VSYNC (pin 14) are sliced at 1.4 V. The output signal of the sync slicer is integrated on an internalcapacitor to detect and normalize the sync polarity. The output signals of vertical sync integrator and sync normalizer are disjuncted before they are fed to the vertical oscillator.

Video clamping/vertical blanking generator
The video clamping/vertical blanking signal at CLBL (pin 16) is a two-level sandcastle pulse which is especially suitableforvideoICs such as the TDA488x family, but also for direct applications in video output stages.
The upper level is the video clamping pulse, which is triggeredbythehorizontalsyncpulse.Either the leading or trailing edge can be selected by setting control bit CLAMP via the I2C-bus. The width of the video clamping pulse is determined by an internal single-shot multivibrator.
The lower level of the sandcastle pulse is the vertical blanking pulse, which is derived directly from the internal oscillator waveform. It is started by the vertical sync and stopped with the start of the vertical scan. This results in optimum vertical blanking. Two different vertical blanking times are accessible, by control bit VBLK, via the I2C-bus.
Blanking will be activated continuously if one of the following conditions is true:
Soft start of horizontal and B+ drive [voltage at HPLL2 (pin 30) pulled down externally or by the I2C-bus]
PLL1 is unlocked while frequency-locked loop is in search mode or if horizontal sync pulses are absent
No horizontal flyback pulses at HFLB (pin 1) X-ray protection is activated Supply voltage at VCC (pin 10) is low (see Fig.25).
Horizontal unlock blanking can be switched off, by control bit BLKDIS, via the I2C-bus while vertical blanking and protection blanking is maintained.
TDA4853; TDA4854
The internal frequency detector then starts tuning the oscillator. Very small DC currents at HPLL1 (pin 26) are usedtoperformthis tuning with a well defined change rate. When coincidence between horizontal sync and oscillator frequency is detected, thesearch mode is first replaced by a soft-lock mode which lasts for the first part of the next vertical period. The soft-lock mode is then replaced by a normal PLL operation. This operation ensures smooth tuning and avoids fast changes of horizontal frequency during catching.
In this concept it is not allowed to load HPLL1. The frequency dependent voltage at this pin is fed internally to HBUF (pin 27) via a sample-and-hold and buffer stage. The sample-and-hold stage removes all disturbances caused by horizontal sync or composite vertical sync from the buffered voltage. An external resistorconnected between pins HBUF andHREF defines the frequency range.
Out-of-lock indication (pin HUNLOCK)
Pin HUNLOCK is floating during search mode if no sync pulses are applied, or if a protection condition is true. All this can be detected by the microcontroller if a pull-up resistor is connected to its own supply voltage.
For an additional fast vertical blanking at grid 1 of the picture tube a 1 V signal referenced to ground is available at this output. The continuous protection blanking (see Section“Videoclamping/verticalblankinggenerator”) is also available at this pin. Horizontal unlock blanking can be switched off, by control bit BLKDIS via the I2C-bus while vertical blanking is maintained.
Frequency-locked loop
The frequency-locked loop can lock the horizontal oscillatorover a wide frequencyrange. This is achievedby a combined search and PLL operation. The frequency range is preset by two external resistors and the
recommended maximum ratio is
This can, for instance, be a range from 15.625 to 90 kHz with all tolerances included.
Without a horizontal sync signal the oscillator will be free-running at f detected by the internal coincidence detector. A deviation of more than 4% between horizontal sync and oscillator frequency will switch the horizontal section into search mode.This means that PLL1control currents are switched off immediately.

TV mode
In applications with TV signals the standard frequency-to-voltage converter operation will be disturbed by equalizing sync pulses and phase jumps occurring in VCR signals. To avoid this, a TV mode has been implemented. It can be accessed by choosing the horizontal TV sync frequencies of 15.625 or 15.75 kHz as the minimum frequency for the horizontal oscillator. Applying TV signals will cause the frequency-to-voltage converter to scan down to this frequency in normal operation. If the control bit TVMOD is sent by the I2C-bus, the HBUF output is clamped to 2.5 V and an internally defined PLL1 control range of ±10% is established. To return to standard operation of the frequency-to-voltage converter the bit TVMOD has to be reset. For an optimal operation with VCR signals the RC combination at pin HPLL1 has to be switched externally.

Horizontal oscillator
The horizontal oscillator is of the relaxation type and requires a capacitor of 10 nF to be connected at HCAP (pin 29).For optimum jitter performance the valueof10 nF must not be changed.
The minimum oscillator frequency is determined by a resistor connected between pin HREF and ground. A resistor connected between pins HREF and HBUF defines the frequency range.
The reference current at pin HREF also defines the integration time constant of the vertical sync integration.

PLL1 phase detector
The phase detector is a standard type using switched current sources, which are independent of the horizontal frequency. It compares the middle of the horizontal sync with a fixed point on the oscillator sawtooth voltage. The PLL1 loop filter is connected to HPLL1 (pin 26).
See also Section “Horizontal position adjustment and corrections”.
Horizontal position adjustment and corrections
A linear adjustment of the relative phase between the horizontal sync and the oscillator sawtooth (in PLL1 loop) is achieved via register HPOS.Once adjusted, the relative phase remains constant over the whole frequency range.
Correctionof pin unbalance and parallelogramis achieved by modulating the phase between the oscillator sawtooth and horizontal flyback (in loop PLL2) via registers HPARAL and HPINBAL. If those asymmetric EW corrections are performed in the deflection stage, both registers can be disconnected from the horizontal phase via control bit ACD. This does not change the output at pin ASCOR.

Horizontal moire cancellation
To achieve a cancellation of horizontal moire (also known as ‘video moire’), the horizontal frequency is divided-by-two to achieve a modulation of the horizontal phase via PLL2. The amplitude is controlled by register HMOIRE. To avoid a visible structure on screen the polarity changes with half of the vertical frequency. Control bit MOD disables the moire cancellation function.
Philips Semiconductors Product specification
I2C-bus autosync deflection controllers for PC/TV monitors
PLL2 phase detector
The PLL2 phase detector is similar to the PLL1 detector and compares the line flyback pulse at HFLB (pin 1) with the oscillator sawtooth voltage. The control currents are independent of the horizontal frequency. The PLL2 detector thus compensates for the delay in the external horizontal deflection circuit by adjusting the phase of the HDRV (pin 8) output pulse.
For the TDA4854 external modulation of the PLL2 phase is not allowed, because this would disturb the start advance of the horizontal focus parabola.
Soft start and standby
If HPLL2 is pulled to ground by resetting the register SOFTST, the horizontal output pulses, vertical output currents and B+ control driver pulses will be inhibited. This means that HDRV (pin 8), BDRV (pin 6), VOUT1 (pin 13) and VOUT2 (pin 12) are floating in this state. If HPLL2 is pulled to ground by an external DC current, vertical output currents stay active while HDRV (pin 8)andBDRV(pin 6)areinfloatingstate.Inbothcases the PLL2 and the frequency-locked loop are disabled, CLBL (pin 16) provides a continuous blanking signal and HUNLOCK (pin 17) is floating.
This option can be used for soft start, protection and power-down modes. When the HPLL2 pin is released again, an automatic soft start sequence on the horizontal drive as well as on the B+ drive output will be performed (see Figs 26 and 27).
A soft start can only be performed if the supply voltage for the IC is a minimum of 8.6 V.
The soft start timing is determined by the filter capacitor at HPLL2 (pin 30), which is charged with a constant current during soft start. If the voltage at pin 30 (HPLL2) reaches
1.1 V,thevertical output currents are enabled. At 1.7 Vthe horizontaldriverstage generates very small output pulses. The width of these pulses increases with the voltage at HPLL2 until the final duty cycle is reached. The voltage at HPLL2increasesfurtherandperformsa soft start at BDRV (pin 6)as well. The voltage at HPLL2 continuestorise until HPLL2 enters its normal operating range. The internal charge current is now disabled. Finally PLL2 and the frequency-locked loop are activated. If both functions reachnormaloperation, HUNLOCK (pin 17) switches from the floating status to normal vertical blanking, and continuous blanking at CLBL (pin 16) is removed.
TDA4853; TDA4854
Output stage for line drive pulses [HDRV (pin 8)]
An open-collector output stage allows direct drive of an inverting driver transistor because of a low saturation voltage of 0.3 V at 20 mA. To protect the line deflection transistor, the output stage is disabled (floating) for a low supply voltage at VCC (see Fig.25).
The duty cycle of line drive pulses is slightly dependent on the actual horizontal frequency. This ensures optimum drive conditions over the whole frequency range.
X-ray protection
TheX-rayprotectioninputXRAY(pin 2)providesavoltage detector with a precise threshold. If the input voltage at XRAY exceeds this threshold for a certain time then control bit SOFTST is reset, which switches the IC into protection mode. In this mode several pins are forced into defined states:
HUNLOCK (pin 17) is floating The capacitor connected to HPLL2 (pin 30) is
discharged Horizontal output stage (HDRV) is floating B+ control driver stage (BDRV) is floating Vertical output stages (VOUT1 and VOUT2) are floating CLBL provides a continuous blanking signal.
There are two different methods of restarting the IC:
1. XSEL (pin 9) is open-circuit or connected to ground. The control bit SOFTST must be set to logic 1 via the I2C-bus. The IC then returns to normal operation via soft start.
2. XSEL (pin 9) is connected to VCC via an external resistor.Thesupplyvoltage of the IC must be switched off for a certain period of time before the IC can be restarted again using the standard power-on procedure.

This special application mode can be used when the vertical sync pulses are serrated (shifted); this condition is found in some display modes, e.g. when using a 100 Hz up converter for video signals.

Adjustment of vertical size, VGA overscan and EHT compensation
The amplitude of the differential output currents at VOUT1 and VOUT2 can be adjusted via register VSIZE. Register VOVSCN can activate a +17% step in vertical size for the VGA350 mode.
VSMOD (pin 21) can be used for a DC controlled EHT compensation of vertical size by correcting the differential output currents at VOUT1 and VOUT2. The EW waveforms, (vertical focus), pin unbalance and parallelogram corrections are not affected by VSMOD.
The adjustments for vertical size and vertical position also affect the waveforms of the horizontal pincushion, vertical linearity (S-correction), vertical linearity balance, focus parabola, pin unbalance and parallelogram correction. The result of this interaction is that no re-adjustment of these parameters is necessary after an adjustment of vertical picture size or position.
Adjustment of vertical position, vertical linearity and vertical linearity balance
Register VPOS provides a DC shift at the sawtooth outputs VOUT1 and VOUT2 (pins 13 and 12) and the EW drive output EWDRV (pin 11) in such a way that the whole picture moves vertically while maintaining the correct geometry.
Register VLIN is used to adjust the amount of vertical S-correction in the output signal. This function can be switched off by control bit VSC.
Register VLINBAL is used to correct the unbalance of the vertical S-correction in the output signal. This function can be switched off by control bit VLC.
Adjustment of vertical moire cancellation
To achieve a cancellation of vertical moire (also known as ‘scanmoire’)theverticalpicturepositioncanbemodulated by half the vertical frequency. The amplitude of the modulation is controlled by register VMOIRE and can be switched off via control bit MOD.
Application hint: VAGC (pin 22) has a high input impedance during scan. Therefore, the pin must not be loaded externally otherwise non-linearities in the vertical output currents may occur due to the changing charge current during scan.

Horizontal pincushion (including horizontal size, corner correction and trapezium correction)
EWDRV(pin 11) provides a complete EW drive waveform. The components horizontal pincushion, horizontal size, corner correction and trapezium correction are controlled by the registers HPIN, HSIZE, HCOR and HTRAP. HTRAP can be set to zero by control bit VPC.
The pincushion (EW parabola) amplitude, corner and trapezium correction track with the vertical picture size (VSIZE) and also with the adjustment for vertical picture position(VPOS). The corner correctiondoes not track with the horizontal pincushion (HPIN).
Further the horizontal pincushion amplitude, corner and trapezium correction track with the horizontal picture size, which is adjusted via register HSIZE and the analog modulation input HSMOD.
If the DC component in the EWDRV output signal is increasedviaHSIZEorI trapezium component of the EWDRV output will be
reduced by a factor of
The value 14.4 V is a virtual voltage for calculation only. The output pin can not reach this value, but the gain (and DCbias)oftheexternalapplicationshouldbesuchthatthe horizontal deflection is reduced to zero when EWDRV reaches 14.4 V.
HSMOD can be used for a DC controlled EHT compensation by correcting horizontal size, horizontal pincushion, corner and trapezium. The control range at this pin tracks with the actual value of HSIZE. For an increasing DC component V signal, the DC component V

Two different modes of operation can be chosen for the EW output waveform via control bit FHMULT:
1. Mode 1 Horizontal size is controlled via register HSIZE and
causesaDCshift at the EWDRV output. The complete waveform is also multiplied internally by a signal proportional to the line frequency [which is detected via the current at HREF (pin 28)]. This mode is to be used for driving EW diode modulator stages which require a voltage proportional to the line frequency.
2. Mode 2 The EW drive waveform does not track with the line
frequency. This mode is to be used for driving EW modulatorswhich require a voltage independent ofthe line frequency.
Output stage for asymmetric correction waveforms [ASCOR (pin 20)]
This output is designed as a voltage output for superimposed waveforms of vertical parabola and sawtooth. The amplitude and polarity of both signals can be changed via registers HPARAL and HPINBAL.
Application hint: The TDA4854 offers two possibilities to control registers HPINBAL and HPARAL.
1. Control bit ACD = 1 The two registers now control the horizontal phase by
means of internal modulation of the PLL2 horizontal phase control. The ASCOR output (pin 20) can be left unused, but it will always provide an output signal because the ASCOR output stage is not influenced by the control bit ACD.
2. Control bit ACD = 0 The internal modulation via PLL2 is disconnected.
In order to obtain the required effect on the screen, pin ASCORmust now be fedtothe DC amplifier which controls the DC shift of the horizontal deflection. This option is useful for applications which already use a DC shift transformer.
Ifthe tube does notneed HPINBAL and HPARAL,then pin ASCOR can be used for other purposes, i.e. for a simple dynamic convergence.

TDA4854: dynamic focus section [FOCUS (pin 32)]
Thissectiongeneratesacompletedrivesignalfordynamic focus applications. The amplitude of the horizontal parabola is internally stabilized, thus it is independent of the horizontal frequency. The amplitude can be adjusted via register HFOCUS. Changing horizontal size may require a correction of HFOCUS. To compensate for the delay in external focus amplifiers a ‘pre-correction’ for the phase of the horizontal parabola has been implemented. The amplitude of the vertical parabola is independent of frequency and tracks with all vertical adjustments. The amplitude can be adjusted via register VFOCUS. FOCUS (pin 32) is designed as a voltage output for the superimposed vertical and horizontal parabolas.
B+ control function block
The B+ control function block of the TDA4853; TDA4854 consists of an Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA), a voltage comparator, a flip-flop and a discharge circuit. This configuration allows easy applications for different B+ control concepts. See also Application Note AN96052:
Deflection and EHT with TDA4855/58”
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The non-inverting input of the OTA is connected internally
toa high precision referencevoltage. The inverting inputis connectedto BIN (pin 5). Aninternal clamping circuit limits the maximum positive output voltage of the OTA. The output itself is connected to BOP (pin 3) and to the inverting input of the voltage comparator. The non-inverting input of the voltage comparator can be accessed via BSENS (pin 4).

.
TDA4853; TDA4854
Boost converter in feedback mode (see Fig.23)
In this application the OTA is used as an error amplifier witha limited output voltagerange. The flip-flop isset on the rising edge of the signal at HDRV. A reset will be generated when the voltage at BSENS, taken from the current sense resistor, exceeds the voltage at BOP.
If no reset is generated within a line period. The rising edgeof the next HDRV pulseforces the flip-flop to reset. The flip-flop is set immediately after the voltage at BSENS has dropped below the threshold voltage V
RESTART(BSENS)
Buck converter in feed forward mode (see Fig.24)
This application uses an external RC combination at BSENS to provide a pulse width which is independent from the horizontal frequency. The capacitor is charged via an external resistor and discharged by the internal discharge circuit. For normal operation the discharge circuit is activated when the flip-flop is reset by the internal voltage comparator. The capacitor will now be discharged with a constant current until the internally controlled stop level V willbe maintained until therising edge of thenext HDRV pulse sets the flip-flop again and disables the discharge circuit.
If no reset is generated within a line period, the rising edge of the next HDRV pulse automatically starts the discharge sequence and resets the flip-flop. When the voltage at BSENS reaches the threshold voltage V

is reached. This level
B+ drive pulses are generated by an internal flip-flop and fed to BDRV (pin 6) via an open-collector output stage. This flip-flop is set at the rising edge of the signal at HDRV (pin 8). The falling edge of the output signal at BDRV has a defined delay of t pulse (see Fig.23). When the voltage at BSENS exceeds the voltage at BOP, the voltage comparator output resets the flip-flop and, therefore, the open-collector stage at BDRV is floating again.
An internal discharge circuit allows a well defined discharge of capacitors at BSENS. BDRV is active at a LOW-level output voltage (see Figs 23 and 24), thus it requires an external inverting driver stage.
The B+ function block can be used for B+ deflection modulators in many different ways. Two popular application combinations are as follows:

Supply voltage stabilizer, references, start-up procedures and protection functions
The TDA4853; TDA4854 provides an internal supply voltage stabilizer for excellent stabilization of all internal references.Aninternalgap reference, especially designed for low-noise, is the reference for the internal horizontal andverticalsupplyvoltages.Allinternalreference currents and drive current for the vertical output stage are derived from this voltage via external resistors.
If either the supply voltage is below 8.3 V or no data from the I2C-bus has been received after power-up, the internal softstart and protection functions do not allowanyof those outputs [HDRV, BDRV, VOUT1, VOUT2 and HUNLOCK (see Fig.25)] to be active.
Philips Semiconductors Product specification
I2C-bus autosync deflection controllers for PC/TV monitors
For supply voltages below 8.3 V the internal I2C-bus will not generate an acknowledge and the IC is in standby mode. This is because the internal protection circuit has generated a reset signal for the soft start register SOFTST. Above 8.3 V data is accepted and all registers can be loaded. If the register SOFTST has received a set from the I2C-bus, the internal soft start procedure is released, which activates all mentioned outputs.
If during normal operation the supply voltage has dropped below 8.1 V, the protection mode is activated and HUNLOCK(pin 17)changesto the protection status and is floating. This can be detected by the microcontroller.
This protection mode has been implemented in order to protect the deflection stages and the picture tube during start-up, shut-down and fault conditions. This protection mode can be activated as shown in Table 3.
Table 3 Activation of protection mode
TDA4853; TDA4854
When the protection mode is active, several pins of the TDA4853; TDA4854 are forced into a defined state:
HDRV (horizontal driver output) is floating BDRV (B+ control driver output) is floating HUNLOCK (indicates, that the frequency-to-voltage
converter is out of lock) is floating (HIGH via external pull-up resistor)
CLBL provides a continuous blanking signal VOUT1 and VOUT2 (vertical outputs) are floating The capacitor at HPLL2 is discharged.
If the soft start procedure is activated via the I2C-bus, all of these actions will beperformed in a well defined sequence (see Figs 25 and 26).
