Signal Description
RED
C2
A
Red. Red analog output to the CRT. Connect 75
Ω load resistor to GNDR (RGB Return)
and connect to VGA connector through a series ferrite bead and 10pF capacitors to GNDR
on both input and output sides of the bead (see “Apollo ProMedia Design Guide”).
GRN
D3
A
Green. Green analog output to the CRT. Connect same as RED.
BLUE
D2
A
Blue. Blue analog output to the CRT. Connect same as RED.
HSYNC
E2
O
Horizontal Sync. Digital horizontal sync output to the CRT. Also used (with VSYNC)
to signal power management state information to the CRT per the VESA™ DPMS™
standard. Connect to VGA connector through a series 47
Ω resistor and 120pF capacitor
to ground (see “Apollo ProMedia Design Guide”).
VSYNC
E1
O
Vertical Sync. Digital vertical sync output to the CRT. Also used (with HSYNC) to
signal power management state information to the CRT per the VESA™ DPMS™
standard. Connect to VGA connector through a series 47
Ω resistor and 120pF capacitor
to ground (see “Apollo ProMedia Design Guide”).
SDA
F2
IO
DDC Data/Address. Serial I
2C protocol for VESA™ DDC2B signaling to the CRT.
Connect this pin to VCC5 through a 4.7K
Ω pullup. Connect to the VGA connector only
(pin 12 of the connector). Connect through a ferrite bead and 120pF capacitor to ground
(on the output side of the bead).
Refer to the “Apollo ProMedia Design Guide” for
additional information.
SCL
F3
IO
DDC Clock. Serial I
2C protocol for VESA™ DDC2B signaling to the CRT. Connect this
pin to VCC5 through a 4.7K
Ω pullup. Connect to the VGA connector only (pin 15 of the
VGA connector). Connect through a ferrite bead and 120pF capacitor to ground (on the
output side of the bead). Refer to the “Apollo ProMedia Design Guide” for additional
information.
