INTERFACE CONSIDERATIONS
Figure 4 shows a typical interface circuit of the SPT5230 in
normal circuit operation.
SUPPLY AND GROUND CONSIDERATIONS
SPT suggests that all power supply pins (AVDD) be tied
together and decoupled using a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor in
parallel with a 10 µF tantalum capacitor.
EXTERNAL REFERENCE VOLTAGE (V
A +3 V (±10%) voltage reference should be externally generated for the V
pin using the simple voltage divider shown
REF1
in figure 4. Connect a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor between
V
and AVSS as close to the pin as possible.
REF1
EXTERNAL REFERENCE VOLTAGE (V
V
needs to be externally connected to AVDD through a
REF2
1.2 kΩ (5%) resistor. Connect a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor
between V
and AVSS as close to the pin as possible.
REF2
CONTROL VOLTAGE DECOUPLING (V
This is a decoupling pin for the control voltage internal
circuitry. An external 0.1 µF capacitor should be connected
between V

and AVSS as close to the pin as possible.

voltage. The voltage output swings between AVDD (+5 V) and
a value controlled by V

CURRENT OUTPUTS
Each red, green and blue current output should have a load
resistor connected to AVDD. The resistors are typically 75 Ω
and should be kept in the 72 Ω to 85 Ω range. The outputs
should drive a high impedance load such as a voltage
follower.
OUTPUT LEVEL SHIFTING CIRCUIT
The SPT5230 voltage output will swing from +3.0 V to +4.99
V for V
= 2.1 V as shown in table I. If level shifting of the
CS2
output is desired, SPT recommends use of the circuit shown
in figure 5. The desired –FS voltage is fed into the collector of
the emitter to achieve the desired level shift. (Note the phase
inversion that will occur due to the common emitter.) Choose
any appropriate video op amp with adequate power supply
head room.

Assuming that an output load resistor of 75 Ω is connected
between the output and AVDD, figure 2 shows what the output
voltage will be for the digital inputs all equal to logic 0, as V
CS2
is varied from 2 V to 4 V. Figure 3 shows the peak-to-peak
output voltage versus V
which V
is equal to 2.1 V.
