OPERATING DESCRIPTION (continued)
II - HORIZONTAL PART
II.1 - Internal Input Conditions
Horizontal part is internally fed by synchro proces-
sor with a digital signal. corresponding to horizontal
synchro pulses or to TTL composite input.
Concerning the duty cycle of the input signal, the
following signals (positive or negative) may be
applied to the circuit.
Using internal integration, both signals are recog-
nized on condition that Z/T < 25%. Synchronization
occurs on the leading edge of the internal sync
signal. The minimum value of Z is 0.7µs.

system when PLL1 is locked avoiding Horizontal
too fast frequency change.
The dynamic behaviour of the PLL is fixed by an
external filter which integrates the current of the
charge pump. A “CRC” filter is generally used (see
Figure 8).

An other integration is able to extract vertical pulse
of composite synchroif duty cycle is more than 25%
(typically d = 35%).

The last feature performed is the equalizing pulses
removing to avoid parasitic pulses on phase com-
paratorinput which is intolerent to wrongor missing
pulse.
II.2 - PLL1
The PLL1 is composed of a phase comparator, an
external filter and a voltage controlled oscillator
(VCO).
The phase comparator is a “phase frequency”type
designed in CMOS technology. This kind of phase
detector avoids locking on false frequencies. It is
followed by a “charge pump”, composed of two
current sources sunk and sourced (I = 1mA Typ.
when locked, I = 140µA when unlocked). This
difference between lock/unlock permits a smooth
catching of horizontal frequency by PLL1. This
effectis reinforcedby an internal originalslow down
PLL1 is internally inhibited during extractedvertical
sync (if any) to avoid taking in account missing
pulses or wrong pulses on phase comparator.The
inhibition results from the opening of a switch lo-
cated between the charge pump and the filter (see
Figure 9). For particular synchro type, MCU can
drive Pin 3 to high level (TTL compatible input) to
inhibit PLL1. It can also be used to avoid PLL1
locking on synchro inputs if a “dangerous”mode is
detected by the MCU.
The VCO uses an external RC network. It delivers
a linear sawtooth obtained by charge and dis-
charge of the capacitor, by a current proportionnal
to the current in the resistor. Typical thresholds of
sawtooth are 1.6V and 6.4V. These two levels are
accessible to be filtered as on Figure 10 to improve
jitter.
The control voltage of the VCO is typically com-
prised between 1.33V and 6V (see Figure 10). The
theorical frequency range of this VCO is in the ratio
1 to 4.5, the effective frequency range has to be
smaller 1 to 4.2 due to clamp intervention on filter
lowest value. To avoid spread of external compo-
nents and the circuit itself, it is possible to adjust
free running frequency through I2C. This adjust-
ment can be made automatically on the manufac-
turing line without manual operation by using
Hlock/unlock information. The adjustment range is
0.8 to 1.3 F0 (where 1.3 F0 is the free running
frequency at power on reset).
The synchro frequency has to be always higher
than the free running frequency. As an example for
a synchro range from 24kHz to 100kHz, the sug-
gested free running frequency is 23kHz.
