Advanced monitor video controller TDA4881
FEATURES
• Fully DC controllable
• 3 separate video channels
• Input black level clamping
• White level adjustment for 2 channels only
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA4881 is a monolithic integrated RGB amplifier for
colour monitor systems with super VGA performance,
intended for DC or AC coupling of the colour signals to the
cathodes of the CRT. With special advantages the circuit
can be used in conjunction with the TDA4851.
• Brightness control with correct grey scale tracking
• Contrast control for all 3 channels simultaneously
• Cathode feedback to internal reference for cut-off
control, which allows unstabilized video supply voltage
• Current outputs for RGB signal currents
• RGB voltage outputs to external peaking circuits
• Blanking and switch-off input for screen protection
• Sync on green operation possible
