description
The SN28837 is a monolithic integrated circuit
designed to supply timing signals for the Texas
Instruments (TI) 8-mm-diagonal TC276 (PAL
color) and TC277 (P AL monochrome) CCD image
sensors. The SN28837 supplies both CCD-drive
signals and PAL-television synchronization
signals at standard video rates. It requires a
single 5-V supply voltage and a 13.37-MHz
crystal-oscillator input. The SN28837 provides the
user with several options including multiple
antiblooming modes, variable-integration time,
external synchronization, clamp-pulse selection,
and delayed horizontal transfer.
The SN28837 is designed to drive the CCD image sensor through intermediary level-shifting devices such as
the TI TMS3473B parallel driver and the SN28846 serial driver. It also supplies sample-and-hold signals for the
TI TL1593 3-channel sample-and-hold circuit and multiplex signals for the TI TL1051 video preprocessor. In
color applications, the SN28837 interfaces with the SN28838 color-subcarrier generator to generate the PAL
color subcarrier.
The SN28837 is supplied in a 60-pin plastic flat package and is characterized for operation from –20°C to 45°C.
This device contains circuits to protect its inputs and outputs against damage due to high static voltages or electrostatic fields. These
circuits have been qualified to protect this device against electrostatic discharges (ESD) of up to 2 kV according to MIL-STD-883C,
Method 3015; however, precautions should be taken to avoid application of any voltage higher than maximum-rated voltages to these
high-impedance circuits. During storage or handling, the device leads should be shorted together or the device should be placed in
conductive foam. In a circuit, unused inputs should always be connected to an appropriate logic voltage level, preferably either VCC or ground.
Specific guidelines for handling devices of this type are contained in the publication
Guidelines for Handling Electrostatic-Discharge-Sensitive
(ESDS) Devices and Assemblies
available from Texas Instruments.

variable-integration-time mode
In addition to the normal TV mode of operation, the SN28837 timing generator offers an optional
variable-integration mode for use with the TC276 and TC277 CCD area-array image sensors. The
variable-integration mode is selected by applying a low-logic level to GPS. This low-logic level disables the
vertical-drive (VD) signal from controlling, internal to the timer, the image-area and storage-area parallel transfer
signal (GP).
Prior to the start of a new integration period, the charge that has accumulated in the image area must be
transferred out. To flush this previous signal or dark-current charge from the image area, GP is pulsed low two
times. Each low pulse generates 302 pulses image-area and storage-area gate and transfer signals that shift
the unwanted charge into the clearing drain. This clearing function should be performed during the high time
of the VD signal (see Figure 3 through Figure 13).
The new integration period continues as long as GP remains high. GPS must be held at a low-logic level to
prevent VD from controlling GP internally . The integration ceases and the readout occurs when VD and GP are
pulsed low simultaneously; this is accomplished by taking GPS to a high-logic level. The readout timing is
dependent on the vertical-drive pulse; this means that the total-integration time is a multiple of 1/50 of a second
plus the time interval between the last GP low pulse and the next VD low pulse. The image readout occurs within
the normal 1/50-second readout interval. If the integration time is less than 1/50 of a second, normal output
operation occurs; if the integration time is greater than 1/50 of a second, a frame buffer may be required to
capture the image.
Integration times greater than 1/50 of a second result in image degradation at temperatures greater than 25°C
due to dark-current generation. The degradation is seen as a decrease in dynamic range (contrast) and an
increase in noise. It is recommended that the image sensor be cooled for long-exposure operation. The
dark-current generation is reduced by a factor of two for each 7°C temperature decrease. The sensor operates
at –30°C. Cooling can be accomplished by using a thermoelectric or Peltier cooler attached to the image sensor .
Condensation on the header must be prevented by isolating the cooled sensor from moist air. V acuum isolation
is preferred; however, the continual flushing of dry nitrogen across the header can also prevent condensation.

MECHANICAL DATA
This plastic package consists of a circuit mounted on a lead frame and encapsulated within an electrically
nonconductive plastic compound. The compound withstands soldering temperatures with no deformation, and circuit
performance characteristics remain stable when operated in high-humidity conditions. The package is intended for
surface mounting, and leads are spaced on 1,0-mm centers with a 0,8-mm foot length. Leads require no additional
cleaning or processing when used in soldered assembly.
