VDP 31xxB
PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET
Pin 6 – Half Contrast Switch Input, HCS (Fig. 4–16)
Via this input pin the output level of the analog RGB out-
put pins can be reduced by 3dB.
Pin 26, 27 – Range Switch for Measurement ADC,
RSW1, RSW2 (Fig. 4–19)
These pins are open drain pull-down outputs. RSW1 is
switched off during cutoff and whitedrive measurement.
RSW2 is switched off during cutoff measurement only.
Pin 7 – Front Sync Output, FSY (Fig. 4–13)
This pin supplies the front sync information
Pin 28 – Measurement ADC Input, SENSE (Fig. 4–15)
This is the input of the analog digital converter for the
picture and tube measurement.
Pin 8 – Composite Sync Output, CSY (Fig. 4–13)
This output supplies a standard composite sync signal
that is compatible to the analog RGB output signals.
Pin 29 – Ground (Measurement ADC Reference Input),
GND
M
This is the ground reference for the measurement A/D
converter.
Pin 9 – Main Sync Output, MSY (Fig. 4–13)
This pin supplies the main sync information.
Pin 30 – Ground (Vertical Sawtooth Output), GND (Fig.
V
4–20)
Pin 10 – Interlace Output, INTLC (Fig. 4–13)
This pin supplies the interlace information, 0 indicates
first field, 1 indicates second field.
This is the ground reference for the vertical outputs.
Pin 31 – Vertical Sawtooth Output, VERT (Fig. 4–20)
This pin supplies the drive signal for the vertical output
stage. The drive signal is generated with 15-bit precision
by the Fast Processor in the front-end. The analog volt-
age is generated by a 4-bit current-DAC with external re-
sistor and uses digital noise shaping.
Pin 11 – Vertical Protection Input, VPROT (Fig. 4–14)
The vertical protection circuitry prevents the picture tube
from burn-in in the event of a malfunction of the vertical
deflection stage. During vertical blanking, a signal level
of2.5Vissensed. Ifanegativeedgecannotbedetected,
the RGB output signals are blanked.
Pin 32 – East-West Parabola Output, EW (Fig. 4–20)
This pin supplies the parabola signal for the East-West
correction. The drive signal is generated with 15 bit pre-
cisionbytheFastProcessorinthefront-end. Theanalog
voltage is generated by a 4-bit current-DAC with exter-
nal resistor and uses digital noise shaping.
Pin 12 – Safety Input, SAFETY (Fig. 4–14)
This is a three-level input. Low level means normal func-
tion. At the medium level RGB signals are blanked and
at high level RGB signals are blanked and horizontal
drive is shut off.
Pin 33 – DAC Current Reference, XREF (Fig. 4–21)
ExternalreferenceresistorforDACoutputcurrents, typi-
cal 10 kΩ to adjust the output current of the D/A convert-
ers (see recommended operating conditions). This re-
sistor has to be connected to analog ground as closely
as possible to the pin.
Pin 13 – Horizontal Flyback Input, HFLB (Fig. 4–14)
Via this pin the horizontal flyback pulse is supplied to the
VDP 31xxB.
Pin 14 – Ground (Digital Circuitry Front-end), GND
DF
Pin 34 – Scan Velocity Modulation Output, SVMOUT
(Fig. 4–17)
This output delivers the analog SVM signal. The D/A
converter is a current sink like the RGB D/A converters.
At zero signal the output current is 50% of the maximum
output current.
Pin 15 – Supply Voltage (Digital Circuitry), VSUP
D
Pin 16 – Ground (Digital Circuitry Back-end), GND
DO
Pin 17, 18, 19 – Picture Bus Priority, PR[2:0] (Fig. 4–5)
The Picture Bus Priority lines carry the digital priority
selection signals. The priority interface allows digital
switching of up to 8 sources to the backend processor.
Switching for different sources is prioritized and can be
done from pixel to pixel.
Pin 35 – Ground (Analog Back-end), GND
O
Pin 36 – Supply Voltage (Analog Back-end), VSUP
O
Pin 37, 38, 39 – Analog RGB Outputs, ROUT, GOUT,
BOUT (Fig. 4–17)
ThisaretheanalogRed/Green/Blueoutputsoftheback-
end. The outputs sink a current of max. 8mA.
Pin 20...24 – Picture Bus Color Address, COLOR[4:0]
(Fig. 4–16)
The Picture Bus COLOR lines carry the digital RGB col-
or data. They are used as address for the color lookup
table.
Pin 40 – DAC Reference Decoupling, VRD (Fig. 4–21)
Via this pin the DAC reference voltage is decoupled by
an external capacitance. The DAC output currents de-
pend on this voltage, therefore a pull-down transistor
can be used to shut off all beam currents. A decoupling
capacitor of 3.3µF//100nF is required.
Pin 25 – Ground (Digital Shield), DSGND.
