GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA4882 is an 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
TDA485X monitor deflection IC
family.

The RGB input signals 0.7 V (p-p) are
capacitively coupled into the
TDA4882 (pins 2, 5 and 8) from a low
ohmic source and are clamped to an
internal DC voltage (artificial black
level). Composite signals will not
disturb normal operations because an
internal clipping circuit cuts all signal
parts below black level. Channels 1
and 3 have a maximum total voltage
gain of 7 dB (maximum contrast and
maximum individual channel gain),
Channel 2 of 4.4 dB (maximum
contrast and nominal gain). With the
nominal channel gain of 1 dB and
nominal contrast setting the nominal
black-to-white output amplitude is
0.79 V (p-p).
DC voltages are used for brightness,
contrast and gain control.
Brightness control yields a
simultaneous signal black level shift
of the three channels relative to a
reference black level. For nominal
brightness (pin 1 open-circuit) the
signal black level is equal to the
reference black level. Contrastcontrol is achieved by a voltage at
pin 6 and affects the three channels
simultaneously. To provide the
correct white point, an individual gaincontrol (pins 3 and 11) adjusts the
signals of Channels 1 and 3
compared to the reference
Channel 2. Gain setting changes
contrast as well as brightness to
achieve correct grey scale tracking.
Eachoutput stage provides a current
output (pins 20, 17 and 14) and a
voltage output (pins 19, 16 and 13).
External cascode transistors reduce
power consumption of the IC and
prevent breakdown of the output
transistors. Signal output currents
and peaking characteristics are
determined by external components
at the voltage outputs and the video
supply. The channels have separate
internal feedback loops which ensure
large signal linearity and marginal
signal distortion in spite of output
transistor thermal V
variation.

The clamping pulse (pin 10) is used
for input clamping only. The input
signals have to be at black level
during the clamping pulse and are

clamped to an internal artificial black
level. The coupling capacitors are
used in this way for black level
storage. Because the threshold for
the clamping pulse is higher than that
for vertical blanking (pin 10) the rise
and fall times of the clamping pulse
have to be faster than 75 ns/V during
transition from 1 V to 3.5 V.
The vertical blanking pulse will be
detected if the input voltage (pin 10) is
higher than the threshold voltage for
approximately 320 ns but does not
exceed the threshold for the clamping
pulse in the time between. During the
vertical blanking pulse the input
clamping is disabled in order to avoid
misclamping in the event of
composite input signals. The input
signal is blanked and the artificial
black level is inserted instead.
Additionally the brightness is
internally set to its nominal value, thus
the output signal is at reference black
level. The DC value of the reference
black level will be adjusted by cut-off
stabilization (see below).
During horizontal blanking (pin 9)
the output signal is set to reference
black level as previously described
and output clamping is activated. If
the voltage at pin 9 exceeds the
switch-off threshold the signal is
blanked and switched to ultra black
level for screen protection and spot
suppression during V-flyback. Ultra
black level is the lowest possible
output voltage (at voltage outputs)
and does not depend on cut-off
stabilization.
For cut-off stabilization (DC
coupling to the CRT) respectively
black level stabilization (AC
coupling) the video signal at the
cathode or the coupling capacitor is
divided by an adjustable voltage
divider and fed to the feedback inputs
(pins 18, 15 and 12). During
horizontal blanking time this signal is
compared with an internal DC voltage
of approximately 5.8 V. Any
difference will lead to a reference
black level correction by charging or
discharging the integrated capacitor
which stores the reference black level
information between the horizontal
blanking pulses.
For OSD fast switching of control
pin 6 to less than 1 V (e.g. 0.7 V)
blanks the input signals. The OSD
signals can easily be inserted to the
external cascode transistor
(see Fig.3).
During test mode (pins 9 and 10
connected to VP) the black levels at
the voltage outputs (pins 19, 16 and
13) are internally set to typical 0.5 V
nominal brightness, 3 V DC at signal
inputs (pins 2, 5 and 8).

Notes
1. Signal amplitude of 50 mA black-to-white is possible if the average current (including blanking times and signal
variation against time) does not exceed 50 mA. The maximum power dissipation of 1200 mW has to be considered.
2. Equivalent to discharging a 200 pF capacitor through a 0 Ω series resistor.
