MICRONAS INTERMETALL

2. Functional Description

2.1. Analog Front End

This block provides the analog interfaces to all video in-

puts and mainly carries out analog-to digital conversion

for the following digital video processing. A block dia-

gram is given in figure 2–1.

Most of the functional blocks in the front end are digitally

controlled (clamping, AGC and clock-DCO). The control

loops are closed by the Fast Processor (‘FP’) embedded

in the decoder.

2.1.1. Input Selector

Up to four analog inputs can be connected. Three inputs

are for input of composite video or S–VHS luma signal.

These inputs are clamped to the sync back porch and

are amplified by a variable gain amplifier. One input is

for connection of S–VHS carrier–chrominance signal.

This input is internally biased and has a fixed gain ampli-

fier.

2.1.2. Clamping

The composite video input signals are AC coupled to the

IC. The clamping voltage is stored on the coupling ca-

pacitors and is generated by digitally controlled current

sources. The clamping level is the back porch of the vid-

eo signal. S-VHS chroma is also AC coupled. The input

pin is internally biased to the center of the ADC input

range.

2.1.3. Automatic Gain Control

A digitally working automatic gain control adjusts the

magnitude of the selected baseband by +6/–4.5 dB in 64

logarithmic steps to the optimal range of the ADC .

The gain of the video input stage including the ADC is

213 steps/V for all three standards (PAL/NTSC/SECAM/

Y/C), with the AGC set to 0 dB.

2.1.4. Analog-to-Digital Converters

Two ADCs are provided to digitize the input signals.

Each converter runs with 20.25 MHz and has 8 bit reso-

lution. An integrated bandgap circuit generates the re-

quired reference voltages for the converters.

The two ADCs are of a 2-stage subranging type.

2.1.5. ADC Range

The ADC input range for the various input signals and

the digital representation is given in table 2–1 and figure

2–2.

2.1.6. Digitally Controlled Clock Oscillator

The clock generation is also a part of the analog front

end. The crystal oscillator is controlled digitally by the

control processor; the clock frequency can be adjusted

within

±150 ppm.
