III.2 - I2C Control Adjustments
S and C correction shapes can then be added to
this ramp. These frequency independent S and C
corrections are generated internally. Their amplitudes are adjustable by their respective I
2
C regis-
ters. They can also be inhibited by their select bits.
Finally, the amplitude of this S and C corrected
ramp can be adjusted by the vertical ramp amplitude control register.
The adjusted ramp is available on Pin 23 (V
OUT
) to
drive an external power stage.
The gain of this stage can be adjusted (±25%)
depending on its register value.
The mean value of this ramp is driven by its own
I
2
C register (vertical position). Its value is
VPOS = 7/16 ⋅ V
REF-V
± 300mV.
Usually VOUT is sent through a resistive divider to
the inverting input of the booster. Since VPOS
derives from V
REF-V
, the bias voltage sent to the
non-inverting input of the booster should also derive from V
REF-V
to optimize the accuracy (see Ap-
plication Diagram).
III.3 - Vertical Moiré
By using the vertical moiré, VPOS can be modulated from frame to frame. This function is intended
to cancel the fringes which appear when line to line
interval is very close to the CRT vertical pitch.
The amplitude of the modulation is controlled by
register VMOIRE on sub-address 0C and can be
switched-off via the control bit D7.

III.5 - Geometric Corrections
The principle is represented in Figure 16.
Starting from the vertical ramp, a parabola-shaped
current is generated for E/W correction (also known
as Pin Cushion correction), dynamic horizontal
phase control correction, and vertical dynamic Focus correction.
The parabola generator is made by an analog
multiplier, the output current of which is equal to :
∆
I = k ⋅ (V
OUT
- V
DCMID
)
2
where VOUT is the vertical output ramp (typically between 2 and 5V) and V
DCMID
is 3.5V (for V
REF-V
= 8V).
One more multiplier provides a current proportional
to (V
OUT
- V
DCMID
)4 for corner correction.
The VOUT sawtooth is typically centered on 3.5V.
By changing the vertical position, the sawtooth
shifts by ±0.3V.
In order to have good screen geometry for any end
user adjustment, the TDA9109/S has the "geometry tracki ng" feature, which allows generation of a
dissymetric parabola depending on the vertical
position.
Due to the large output stage voltage range (E/W,
Keystone, Corner), the combination of tracking
function with maximum vertical amplitude, maximum or minimum vertical position and maximum
gain on the DAC control may lead to the output
stage saturation. This must be avoided by limiting
the output voltage with apropriate I
2
C registers
values.
For the E/W part and the dynamic horizontal phase
control part, a sawtooth-shaped differential current
in the following form is generated :
∆
I’ = k’ ⋅ (V
OUT
- V
DCMID
)
Then ∆I and ∆I’ are added and converted into
voltage for the E/W part.
Each of the three E/W components, and the two
dynamic horizontal phase controls may be inhibited
by their own I
2
C select bit.
The E/W parabola is available on Pin 24 via an
emitter follower output stage which has to be biased by an external resistor (10kΩ to ground).
Since stable in temperature, the device can be DC
coupled with an external circuitry.
The vertical dynamic focus is available on Pin 10.
The dynamic horizontal phase control drives inter-
nally the H-position, moving the HFLY position on
the horizontal sawtooth in the range of ± 1.4% T
H
both for sid e pin balanc e and par allelo gram.
