TDA9209
SHRINK DIP24
(Shrink Plastic Package)
ORDER CODE: TDA9209
The RGB incoming signals are amplified and
shaped todrive any commonlyused videoamplifiers without intermediate follower stages. Even
though encapsulated in a 24-pin package only,
this IC allows any kind of CRT Cathode coupling :
– AC coupling with DC restore,
– DC coupling with Feed-back from Cathodes,
– DC coupling with Cut-Off controls of the Video
amplifier (ST Amplifiers TDA9533/9530).
As forany STVideo pre-amplifier, theTDA9209 is
able to drive a real load without any external interface.
One of the main advantages of ST devices is their
ability to sink and source currents while most of
the devices from our competitors have problems
to sink largecurrents.
These driving capabilities combined with an original outputstage structuresuppress any static current on the output pins and therefore reduce dramatically the power dissipation of the device.
Extensive integrationcombined with high performance and advanced features make the TDA9209
one of the best choice for any CRT Monitor in the
14” to 17” range.
Perfectly matched with the ST Video Amplifiers
TDA9530/33, these 2 products offer a complete
solution for high performance and cost-optimized
Video Board Application.

4 - FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
4.1 RGB Input
The three RGB inputs have to be supplied through
coupling capacitors (100 nF).
The maximum input peak-to-peakvideo amplitude
is 1 V.
The input stage includes a clamping function. The
clamp uses the input serial capacitor as a ”memory capacitor”.
To avoid a discharge of the serial capacitor during
the line (due to leakage current), the input voltage
is referenced to the ground.
The clamp is gated by an internally generated
”Back Porch Clamping Pulse” (BPCP). Register 8
allows to choose the way to generate this BPCP
(see Figure 1).
When bit 0 is set to 0, the BPCP is synchronized
on the trailing or leading edge of HSYNC (Pin 23)
(bit 1 = 0: trailing edge, bit 1 = 1: leading edge).
3/22
TDA9209
Additionally, the IC automatically works with either
positive or negative HSYNC pulses.
– When bit 0 is set to 1,BPCP is synchronized on
the leading edge of the blanking pulse BLK
(Pin 24).One can use a positive or negative
blanking pulse by programming bit 0 in
Register 9 (See I2C Table 3).
– BPCPwidth can be adjusted with bit2 and3 (see
Register 8, I2C table 2).
– If the application already provides the Back
Porch Clamping Pulse, bit 4 must be set to 1
(providing a direct connection between Pin 23
and internal BPCP).
4.2 Synchro Clipping Function
This function is available on channel 2 (Green
Channel). When using the Sync On Green (SOG)
(Synchro pulse included in the green channel in-
Figure 1.

put) the synchro clipping function must be activated (bit 7 set to 1 in register 9) in order to keep the
right green output levels and avoid unbalanced
colours.
4.3 Blanking Input
The Blanking pin (FBLK) isTTL compatible.
The Blanking pulse can be:
– positive or negative
– line or Composite-type (but not Frame-type).
4.4 Contrast Adjustment (8 bits)
The contrast adjustment is made by controlling simultaneously the gain ofthe three internal amplifiers through the I2C bus interface. Register 1 allows the adjustment in arange of 48 dB.

4.5 ABL Control
The TDA9209 includes an ABL (automatic beam
limitation) input to attenuate the RGB Video signals depending on the beam intensity.
The operating rangeis 2 V (from3 V to1 V). A typical 15 dB maximum attenuation is applied to the
output signal whatever the contrast adjustment is.
(See Figure 2 ).
When the ABL feature is not used, the ABL input
(Pin 2) must be connectedto a5V supplyvoltage.

4.6 Brightness Adjustment (8 bits)
Brightness adjustment is controlled by the I2C Bus
via Register 2. It consists of adding the same DC
voltage to thethreeRGBsignals, after contrastadjustment. When the blanking pulse equals 0, the
DC voltageis set to a value which canbe adjusted
between 0 and2V with 8mVsteps (see Figure 3).
The DC output level is forced to the ”Infra Black”
level (VDC) when the blanking pulse is equal to 1.
4.7 Drive Adjustment (3 x 8 bits)
In order to adjust the white balance, the TDA9209
offers the possibility of adjusting separately the
overall gain ofeach channel thanks to the I2C bus
(Registers 3, 4 and 5).
The very large drive adjustment range (48 dB) allows different standards or custom color temperatures.
It can also be usedto adjust the output voltages at
the optimum amplitude to drive the CRT drivers,
keeping the whole contrast control for the enduser only.
The drive adjustment is locatedafter theContrast,
Brightness and OSD switch blocks, so it does not
affect the white balance setting when the BRT is
adjusted. It also operates on the OSD portion of
the signal.
4.8 OSD Inputs
The TDA9209 allows to mix the OSD signals into
the RGB main picture. The four pins dedicated to
this function are the following:
– Three TTL RGB inputs (Pins 9, 10, 11) connect-
ed tothethree outputsofthe corresponding OSD
processor.
– One TTL fast blanking input (Pin 12) also con-
nected to the FBLK output of theOSDprocessor.
When a high level is present on the FBLK, the IC
acts as follows:
– The three main picture RGB input signals (IN1,
IN2, IN3) are internally switched to the internal
input clamp referencevoltage.
– The three outputsignals are setto the voltage
corresponding to the three OSD input logic
states (0 or 1). (See Figure 3).
If the OSD input is at low level, the output and
brightness voltages (V
) are equal.
BRT
If theOSD inputis athigh level, the output voltage
is V
, where V
OSD
OSD=VBRT
+ OSD and OSD is
an I2C bus-controlled voltage.
OSD varies between0 V to4.9 V by 320 mV steps
via Register 7 (4 bits). The same variation is applied simultaneously to the three channels providing the OSD contrast.
The grey color can be obtained on output signals
when:
– OSD1 = 1, OSD2 = 0 and OSD3 = 1,
– A special bit (bit 5 or 6) in Register 9 is set to 1.
If R9b5 is setto 1, light grey is obtained on output.
If R9b6is setto 1, dark grey is obtained on output.
In thecase where R9b5and R9b6 are set to 0, the
normal operation is provided on output signals.
4.9 Output Stage
The overall waveforms of the output signal are
shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4. The three output
stages, which are large bandwidth output amplifiers, are able todeliver upto 4.4 VPPfor0.7 VPPon
input.
When a high level is applied on the BLK input
(Pin 24), the three outputs are forced to ”Infra
Black” level (VDC)thanks toa sample and hold circuit (described below).
The black level (which is the output voltage outside the blanking pulse with minimum brightness
and no Video input signals) is 400 mV higher than
VDC.
The brightness level (V
) is then obtained by
BRT
programming register 2 (see I2C table 1).
The sample and hold circuit is used to control the
”Infra Black” level in the range of 0.5 V to 2.5 V via
Register 6 (in case of AC coupling) or Registers
10, 11, 12 (in case of DC coupling) .
This sampling occurs during an internal pulse
(OCL) generated inside the blanking pulse window.
Refer to “CRT cathode coupling” part for further
details.

4.10 Bandwidth Adjustment
A new feature: Bandwidth adjustment, has been
implemented on the TDA9209.
This function has several advantages:
– Depending on the external capacitive load and
on thepeak-to-peak output voltage, the bandwidth can be adjusted to avoid any slew-rate
phenomenon.
– The preamp bandwidth can be adjusted inorder
to reduce electromagnetic radiation, since it is
possible to slow down the signal rise/falltime at
the CRT driver input without too much affecting
the rise/fall time at the CRT driver output.
– It is possible to optimize the ratio of the frequen-
cy response versus the CRT driver power consumption forany kind of chassis, as the preamp
bandwidth adjustment also allows theadjustment of therise/falltime onthe cathode(through
the CRT driver).

– In still picture mode, when a high Video swing
voltage is of greater interest than rise/fall time,
bandwidth adjustmentis used to avoid any slewrate phenomenon attheCRTdriveroutputand to
meet electromagnetic radiation requirements.
4.11 CRT Cathode Coupling
The powerfull multiplex capability of the TDA9209
allows touse the device with several kinds of CRT
cathode coupling.
4.11.1 AC coupling with DC restore ( Figure 5)
In this mode the output DC level (VDC) is adjusted
simultaneously for the 3 channels from 0.5 V to
2.35 Vvia Register 6 (4bits). The cut-offvoltage is
programmed independentlyfor each channel from
0.17 V to 4.6 V using registers 10, 11, 12 (8 bits
each, see I2C Table 1).

4.11.2 DC Coupling with cut-off controls on
Video Amplifier (with TDA9533/ 9530, Figure 6)
The functioningand programming of the TDA9209
are the same as for the previous mode, except for
4.11.3 DC Coupling Mode (Figure 7)
This is the most commonly used configuration en-
abling to build a powerful video system on a small
PCB Board and giving a substantial cost saving
compared with any other solutionavailable on the
market.
The preamplifieroutputs control directlythe cut-off
levels.
The output DC level (VDC) is adjusted independently for each channel from 0.5V to 2.5 V via registers 10, 11 and 12.
In DC coupling mode, bit 2 must be set to 1 and
bit3 to 0 in Register 9.

the cut-off control which is now performed via the
Video amplifier cut-off input .
In AC coupling and DC coupling with cut-off control, bits 2, 3 and 4 in Register 9 must be set to 1.
4.11.4 DC Couplingwith feedback mode (Fig. 8)
In thismode, the feedback voltageissued from the
cathode is sent to the TDA9209. This voltage is
compared to a reference from the cut-off DC level
DAC bythe sample and hold circuit whoalso controls the DC voltage of the feedback input in a
range of 0.5 V to 2.5 V.
Each channelis independently controlled via Registers 10, 11 and 12.
In DC couplingwith feedback mode, bit 2 and bit 4
must be set to 0 in Register 9.

4.12 Stand-by Mode
The TDA9209 has a stand-by mode. As soon as
the VCCpower (Pin 20) gets lower than 3V (typ.),
the device is set in stand-by mode whatever the
voltage on analog V
(Pin 7) is. The analog
CCA
blocks are internally switched-off while the logic
parts (I2C bus, power-on reset) are still supplied.
In stand-by mode, the power consumption is below 20 mW.
4.13 Serial Interface
The 2-wire serial interface is an I2C interface. The
slave address of TDA9209 is DC hex.
A6A5A4A3A2A1A0W
11011100
The host MCU can write into the TDA9209 registers. Readmode is not available.
In orderto write data into the TDA9209, after the
“start” message, the MCU must send thefollowing
data (see Figure 9):
– theI2C addressslave bytewith alowlevel forthe
R/W bit,
– the byte to the internal register address where
the MCU wants to write data,
– the data.
All bytes aresent with MSB bit first. Thetransfer of
written data is ended with a “stop” message.
When transmitting several data, the register ad-
dresses and data can be written with no need to
repeat the startand slave addresses.
