III.2 - I2C Con tr ol Adjustmen ts
S and C correction shapes can then be added to
this ramp. These frequency independent S and C
corrections are generated internally. Their ampli-
tudes are adjust able by their respective I2C regis-
ters. They can also be inhibited by their select bits.
Finally, the amplitude of this S and C corrected
ramp can be adjusted by the vertical ramp amp li-
tude control regist er.
The adjusted ramp is available on Pin 23 (V OUT) to
drive an external power stage.
The gain of this stage can be adjusted (±25%)
depending on its register value.
The mean value of this r amp is driven by its own
I2C register (vertical position). Its value is
VP OS = 7/16 ⋅ VREF-V ± 300mV.
Usually VOU T is sent through a resistive divider to
the inverting input of the booster. Since VPOS
derives from VREF-V, the bias voltage sent to the
non-inverting input of the bo oster should also de-
rive from VREF-V to optimize the accuracy (see Ap-
plication Diagram).
III.3 - V ertical Moiré
By using the vertical moiré, VPOS can be modu-
lated from frame to frame. This function is intended
to cancel the fringes which appear when line to line
interval is very close to the CRT vertical pitch.
The amplitude of the modulation is controlled by
register VMOIRE on sub-address 0C and can be
switched-off via the control bit D7.
III.4 - Basic Equations
In first approximation, the amplitude of the ramp on
Pin 23 (VOUT) is :
VOUT - VPOS = (VOSC - VDCMID) ⋅ (1 + 0. 25 (VAMP))
with :
-V
DCMID = 7/16 ⋅ VREF (middle value of the ramp
on Pin 22, typic ally 3.5V)
-V
OSC = V22 (ramp w ith fixed amplitude)
-V
AMP = -1 for minimum vertical amplitude register
value and +1 for maximum
- VPOS is calculated by : VPOS = VDCMID + 0.3 VP
with VP equals -1 for minimum vertical position
register value and +1 for maximum
The current available on Pin 22 is :
IOSC = 3
8 ⋅ VREF ⋅ COSC ⋅ f

f : synchronization frequency.
III.5 - Geometric Corrections
The principle is represented in Figure 16.
Starting from the v ertical ramp, a parabola-shaped
current is generated for E/W correction (also known
as Pin Cushion correction), dynamic horizontal
phase control correction, and vertical dynamic Fo-
cus correction.
The parabola generator is made by an analog
multiplier, the output current of which is equal to :
∆I = k ⋅ (VOUT - VDCMID)2
where VOUT is the ver tical output ramp (typically be-
tween 2 and 5V) and VDCMID is 3.5V (for VREF-V = 8V).
One more multiplier provides a current proportional
to (VOUT - VDCMID)4 for corner correction.
The VOUT sawtooth is typicall y centered on 3. 5V.
By changing the vertical position, the sawtooth
shifts by ±0.3V.
In order to have good screen geometry for any end
user adjustment, the TDA9109/S has the "geome-
try tracki ng" feature, whi c h allows generation of a
dissymetric parabola depending on the vertical
position.
Due to the large output stage voltage range (E/W,
Keystone, Corner), the combination of tracking
function with maximum vertical amplitude, maxi-
mum or minimum vertical position and maximum
gain on the DAC control may lead to the output
stage saturation. This must be avoided by limiting
the output voltage with apropriate I2C registers
values.
For the E/W part and the dynamic horizontal phase
control part, a sawtooth-shaped differential curr ent
in the following form is generated :
∆I’ = k’ ⋅ (VOUT - VDCMID)
Then ∆I and ∆I’ are added and converted into
voltage for the E/W part.
Each of the three E/W components, and the two
dynamic horizontal phase controls may be inhibited
by their own I2C select bit.
The E/W parabola is available on Pin 24 via an
emitter follower output stage which has to be bi-
ased by an external resistor (10kΩ to ground).
Since stable in temperature, the device can be DC
coupled with an external cir cuitry.
The vertical dynamic focus is available on Pin 10.
The dynamic horizontal phase control drives inter-
nally the H-position, moving the HFLY position on
the horizontal sawtooth in the range of ± 1.4% TH
