OPERATING DESCRIPTION
1 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
1.1 Power Supply
The typical values of the power supply voltages
VCC an d VDD are 12 V a nd 5 V respe ctiv ely. Opti -
mum operation is obtained for VCC between 10.8
and 13.2 V and VDD between 4.5 and 5.5 V.
In order to avoid erratic operation of the circuit dur-
ing the transient phase of VCC switching on, or off,
the value of VCC is monitored: if VCC is less than
7.5 V typ., the outputs of the circuit are inhibited.
Similar ly, before VDD rea ches 4 V, all t he I2C re g-
ister are rese t to their defau lt value (see I2C Con-
trol Table).
In order to have very good power supply rejection,
the circui t is inte rnally supp lied b y sever al vol tage
references (typ. value: 8.2 V). Two of these volt-
age references are externally accessible, one for
the vertical and one for the horizontal part. They
can be used to bias external circuitry (if ILOAD is
less than 5 mA). It is necessary to filter the voltage
references by external capacitors connected to
ground, i n o rder to mi ni mize the noise a nd conse-
quently the “jitter” on vertical and horizontal output
signals.
1.2 I2C Control
TDA9109A belongs to the I2C controlled device
family. Ins tea d o f b ein g co ntr ol led by DC vol tag es
on dedicated control pins, each adjustment can be
done via the I2C Interface.
The I2C bus is a serial bus with a clock and a data
input. The general function and the bus protocol
are specified in the Philips-bus data sheets.
The interface (Data and Clock) is a comparator
whose threshold is 2.2 V with a 5 V supply. Spikes
of up to 50 ns ar e f il tered by a n i nte gr ator and the
maximum clock speed is limited to 400 kHz.
The data line (SDA) can be used bidirectionally. In
read-mode the IC sends reply information
(1 byte) to the micro-processor.
The bus protocol prescribes a full-byte transmis-
sion in all c ases. The first by te after the start co n-
dition is u se d t o tran smit the IC-ad dr es s (h ex a 8 C
for write, 8D for read).
1.3 Write Mode
In write mode the second byte sent contains the
subaddress of the selected function to adjust (or
controls to affect) and the third byte the corre-
sponding data byte. It is possible to send more
than one dat a byte to t he IC. If afte r the thi rd byte
no stop or start condition is detected, the circuit in-
crements automatically by one the momentary
subaddress in the subaddress counter (auto-incre-
ment mode). So it is possible to transmit immedi-
ately th e following d ata bytes without sending the
IC address or subaddress. This can be useful to
reinitialize all the controls very quickly (flash man-
ner). This procedure can be finished by a stop con-
dition.
The circuit has 18 adjustment capabilities: 3 for the
horizontal part, 4 for the vertical, 3 for the
E/W correction, 2 for the dynamic horizontal phase
contro l, 2 for the vertical and h orizontal Moir é op-
tions, 3 for the horizontal and the vertical dynamic
focus and 1 for the B+ reference adjustment.
18 bits are also dedicated to several controls (ON/
OFF, Horizo ntal Forced Frequ ency, Sync P riority,
Detection Refresh and XRAY reset).
1.4 Read Mode
During the read mode the second byte transmits
the reply information.
The reply byte c ont ain s th e ho rizo ntal and ve rti c al
lock/unlock status, the XRAY activation status
and, the horizontal and vertical polarity detection.
It also c ontains the sync de tection statu s which i s
used by the MCU to assign the sync priority. A
stop condition always stops all the activities of the
bus decoder and switches to high impedance both
the data and clock line (SDA and SCL).

1.5 Sync Processor
The internal sync processor allows the TDA9109A
to accept:
•separated hor i zontal & vertical TTL-
compatible sync signal
•composite horizontal & vertical TTL-
compatible sync signal
