The device generates composite sync, vertical sync, back porch and odd/even field signals. The GS4881 is identical to the GS1881 but features a noise immune back porch pulse which maintains a constant H rate during the vertical interval. The GS4981 is identical to the GS4881, except that it provides horizontal sync in place of the odd/even output. All three devices feature a self-adjusting windowing circuit for noise immunity, which synchronizes to H rate. This windowing circuit determines the odd or even field in the GS1881 and GS4881, gates the back porch pulse in the GS4881 and GS4981, and generates the horizontal sync output in the GS4981. The devices feature an improved input stage which ensures that the input signal is sliced at a predictable point due to well-controlled input clamp discharge current and sync slicing level. A missing pulse detector enables the devices to recover quickly from impulse noise disturbances by temporarily increasing the clamp discharge current by roughly ten times. The input stage will operate with signals from 0.5 to 4Vp-p with a 5V supply. The GS1881, GS4881 and GS4981 also feature a predictable vertical output pulse width with a default trigger for non-standard video signals. All three are available in commercial and industrial temperature ranges and are packaged in both DIP and SOIC. www.gennum.com 1 of 29 Proprietary & Confidential Revision History Version Date Changes and/or Modifications 5 November 2009 4 July 2004 3 - Revisions made. 2 - Revisions made. 1 March 1991 New document.

Circuit Description The block diagrams for the GS1881, GS4881 and GS4981, are shown in Figure 4-5 through Figure 4-7, with timing diagrams for the devices shown in Figure 4-8. When stimulated by a composite input signal, the GS1881 and GS4881 sync separators output composite sync, vertical sync, back porch, and odd/even field information. The GS4981 substitutes the odd/even output of the GS4881 with a horizontal output. An external resistor on Pin 6 is used to define internal currents allowing the devices to accommodate horizontal scan rates from 15kHz to 130kHz. 4.1 Composite Video Input (Pin 2) and Composite Sync Output (Pin 1) Composite video is AC coupled via an external coupling capacitor to Pin 2. The device clamps the sync tip of the input video to 1.5V (Vclamp) and then slices at 77mV above the clamp voltage (Vslice). The resultant signal, provided at Pin 1, is a reproduction of the input signal with the active video portion removed. As Vclamp and Vslice are supply and input signal independent, for 0.5Vp-p signals (sync height of 143mV) slicing will occur at just above the 50% point and for 2Vp-p signals (sync height of 572mV) slicing will occur at approximately 13% of sync height. The video signal path and composite sync slicing circuitry have been optimized and compensated to achieve a low propagation delay that is stable over temperature. The typical delay is 60ns with less than 3ns drift over the commercial temperature range. The typical input clamp discharge current is 11A. This current is optimal under normal operating circumstances but needs to be increased when the clamp is trying to recover from negative going impulse noise. The device improves the recovery time by raising a NOSYNC flag when there has not been a sync pulse for approximately 1 1/2 horizontal lines. When this flag is raised the discharge current is increased by 85A so that the recovery time is sped up by nearly 10 times. Figure 4-1 shows a comparison between the recovery times with and without the increased discharge current.

The device generates a negative going pulse on Pin 5 during this time. It is delayed typically 500ns from the rising edge of sync and has a typical width of 2.5s. Both of these times are set by the external RSET resistor. During the pre-equalizing, vertical sync, and post-equalizing periods, composite sync doubles in frequency. The GS4881 and GS4981 maintain the back porch output at the horizontal rate due to Back Porch Enable (BPEN), generated by the internal windowing circuit, which forces back porch to be asserted at the horizontal rate. This gating circuit is also the reason for the excellent impulse noise immunity of the back porch output as shown in Figure 4-2. Video Input Impulse Noise Back Porch Output GS4881 GS4981 Figure 4-2: Back Porch Noise Immunity GS1881, GS4881, GS4981 Monolithic Video Sync Separators Data Sheet 6926 - 5 November 2009 15 of 29 Proprietary & Confidential The GS1881 does not gate the Back Porch which allows for total pin compatibility with the LM1881. 4.3 Vertical Sync Output (Pin 3) The vertical sync interval is detected by integrating the composite sync pulses. The first broad vertical sync pulse causes an internal capacitor to charge past a fixed threshold and raises an internal vertical flag. Once the vertical flag is raised, the positive edge of the next serration clocks out the vertical output. When the vertical sync interval ends, the first post equalizing pulse is unable to charge the capacitor sufficiently, causing the internal vertical flag to go high. The rising edge of the second post-equalizing pulse then clocks out the high flag to end the vertical sync pulse. The vertical output is clocked in and out and therefore is a fixed width of 197.7s (3H + 4.7s + 2.3s). In the case of a non-standard vertical interval that has no serrations, a second internal capacitor is charged and clocks the vertical pulse out after typically 65s. In this case the end of the vertical pulse will still be the rising edge of the second post-equalizing pulse. As the vertical detector is designed as a true integrator, it provides improved noise immunity. 4.4 Odd/Even Field Output (Pin 7 GS1881, GS4881) NTSC PAL and SECAM composite video standards are interlaced video schemes and therefore have odd and even fields. For odd fields the first broad vertical sync pulse is coincident with the start of horizontal, while for even fields the first broad vertical sync pulse starts in the middle of a horizontal line. Therefore by comparing the vertical sync with an internally generated horizontal sync the odd/even field information is determined. This output is clocked out by the falling edge of vertical sync. The odd/even output is low during even fields and high during odd fields. This method of detecting odd and even fields is very noise tolerant. Noise during the pre-equalizing pulses does not affect the output since the field decision is made at the beginning of the vertical interval. This noise immunity is displayed in Figure 4-3 in which an extra pre-equalizing pulse has been added to the video input with no negative effect on the odd/even field information. Video Input Impulse Noise Even Odd Odd/Even Output Figure 4-3: Odd/Even Output GS1881, GS4881, GS4981 Monolithic Video Sync Separators Data Sheet 6926 - 5 November 2009 16 of 29 Proprietary & Confidential 4.5 Horizontal Output (Pin 7 GS4981) As mentioned above, the odd/even field output of the GS1881 and GS4881 is generated by comparing vertical sync with an internal horizontal sync signal. This horizontal sync signal is a true horizontal signal (i.e. maintained during the vertical interval) and is outputted on Pin 7 for the GS4981. A delay of 190ns from the video input and a width of 6.5s are typically characteristics for this signal. The windowing circuit which generates horizontal provides excellent impulse noise immunity as shown in Figure 4-4. This output buffer is an open collector stage with an internal 10k pull up resistor.

Application Notes 5.1 Choosing the Appropriate Input Capacitor to Optimize Slicing Level and Hum Rejection The video designer can adjust the slicing level by choosing the value of the input coupling capacitor. The relationship between slicing level and input coupling capacitor is described by the following equation: VSLICE = where: IDIS CC T = VDROOP IDIS = clamp discharge current = 11 A T = TLINE - TSYNC = (63.5 s - 4.7 s) CC = input coupling capacitor Figure 5-1 is a graphical representation of this equation and Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3 show the input video waveforms for 0.1F and 0.01F input capacitors respectively. The advantage in choosing a smaller input coupling capacitor, is increased hum rejection as the following analyses illustrates. 137 SLICING LEVEL (mV) 127 117 107 97 87 77 0.01 0.02 0.03 0.04 0.05 0.06 0.07 0.08 0.09 0.10 INPUT COUPLING CAPACITOR (F) Figure 5-1: Slicing Level vs Input Coupling Capacitor GS1881, GS4881, GS4981 Monolithic Video Sync Separators Data Sheet 6926 - 5 November 2009 20 of 29 Proprietary & Confidential CH2 CH1 8 VIDEO 2 0.1F 6 75W 4 680k 0.1 Figure 5-2: Test Circuit 1 and Video Waveforms for 0.1F CH1 CH2 8 VIDEO 2 0.01F 75W 6 4 680k 0.1 Figure 5-3: Test Circuit 2 and Video Waveforms for 0.01F The interfering hum component is defined by: vHUM(t) = V Pcos(2 HUMt) where: VP = Peak voltage of AC hum HUM = Frequency of hum (50Hz or 60Hz) The maximum rate of change of this hum signal occurs at the zero crossing points and is: dv HUM dt t= 3 , 2 2 = V P2 HUM Since the horizontal scan period is much faster than the period of the interference (63.5ms << 1/HUM) a good approximation is to assume that the maximum line to line voltage change resulting from the interfering hum is: VHUM = V P2 HUM TLINE where: TLINE = 63.5s GS1881, GS4881, GS4981 Monolithic Video Sync Separators Data Sheet 6926 - 5 November 2009 21 of 29 Proprietary & Confidential The total line to line voltage change (VT) can then be calculated by adding the hum component (VHUM) and the droop component (VDROOP). This calculation results in two cases: VT VT Case A Case B VT = VHUM + V DROOP To correct for VT in case A, the input stage must be able to charge the input capacitor VT volts in 4.7s. This is not a constraint as the typical clamping current of 650A can accomplish this for practical values of coupling capacitor. The only way to compensate for VT in case B is to make VDROOP >VHUM. VDROOP is increased by decreasing the input coupling capacitor value. Therefore the video designer can increase hum rejection by decreasing the value of this capacitor. The following is a numerical example: choosing Cc ... VDROOP = = 0.022F 11 (63.5 - 4.7) = 29.4mV 0.022 the maximum amount of 60 Hz hum that could be rejected would be when: VDROOP = VHUM = VP 2HUM TLINE ... VP = VDROOP 2 HUMTLINE 29.4mV = = 1.23V PEAK HUM 2(60) (63.5) verifying that there is enough clamping current Vt = 29.4mV + 29.4 mV = 58.8mV ... i = 0.022 ( 58.8mV ) = 275A 4.7 which is less than 650A. 5.2 Filtering In order to keep the input to output delay small and temperature stable, no chrominance filtering is done within the device. External filtering may be necessary if the input signal contains large chrominance components (less than 77mV from sync tip) or has significant amounts of high frequency noise. This filter can be a simple low pass RC network constructed by a resistance (RS) in series with the source and a capacitor (C) to ground. A single pole low pass filter having a corner frequency of approximately 500kHz will provide ample bandwidth for passing sync pulses with almost 18dB attenuation at 3.58MHz. Care should be taken in choosing the value of the series resistor in the filter since the source resistance seen by the sync separator affects its performance. See Figure 5-4. GS1881, GS4881, GS4981 Monolithic Video Sync Separators Data Sheet 6926 - 5 November 2009 22 of 29 Proprietary & Confidential As the source resistance rises, the video input sync tip starts to be clipped due to the clamping current during the sync. This clamping current is relatively large due to the non-symmetric duty cycle of video. To a good approximation the amount of sync clamp current can be calculated as follows: ( I CLAMP ) (TSYNC) = (I DIS) (TLINE - TSYNC) AVG (4.7 s) = (11A) (63.5s - 4.7s) ICLAMP AVG ... I CLAMP = 137.6A AVG This clamp current flows in the source resistance causing a voltage drop equal to: VCLIP = ( I CLAMP ) (RS) AVG = (137.6) (R S) I CLAMP VIDEO INPUT RS - 8 2 + VCLIP CC 75 C 4 6 680k 0.1 Figure 5-4: Simple Chrominance Filtering Figure 5-5 shows the amount of sync clipping for a 560 source resistor. A graph of VCLIP versus RS is shown in Figure 5-6, and Figure 5-7 shows the corresponding capacitor value for a particular series resistor to provide a corner frequency of 500kHz. In applications where signal levels are small the amount of attenuation should be minimized. It follows from Figure 5-6 and Figure 5-7 that in order to minimize attenuation a small series resistor and a larger capacitor to ground should be chosen. This however, increases the capacitive loading of the signal source.

A PNP emitter follower works well to drive the sync separator, and does not require much DC current because the transistor provides the current when it is needed during sync. Figure 5-9 is a typical application circuit that minimizes sync tip clipping.

The horizontal output is used as the D input and the vertical output as the clock, as shown in Figure 5-10. At the start of an odd field the vertical output ends in the middle of the horizontal line and a high will be latched. At the start of an even field, the vertical output ends near the beginning of the horizontal line and since the horizontal output is low, a low will be latched.
