TDA9115
9 - OPERATING DESCRIPTION
9.1 SUPPLY AND CONTROL
9.1.1 Power supply and voltage references
The device is designed for a typical value of power
supply voltage of 12 V.
In order to avoid erratic operation of the circuit at
power supply ramp-up or ramp-down, the value of
VCC is monitored. See Figure 1 and electrical
specifications. At switch-on, the device enters a
“normal operation” as the supply voltage exceeds
VCCEn and stays there until it decreases below
VCCDis. The two thresholds provide, by their differ-
ence, a hysteresis to bridge potential noise. Out-
side the “normal operation”, the signals on HOut,
BOut and VOut outputs are inhibited and the I2C
bus interface is inactive (high impedance on SDA,
SCL pins, no ACK), all I2C bus control registers
being reset to their default values (see chapter I2C
BUS CONTROL REGISTER MAP on page 20).

Internal thresholds in all parts of the circuit are de-
rived from a common internal reference supply
VRefO that is lead out to RefOut pin for external fil-
tering against ground as well as for external use
with load currents limited to IRefO. The filtering is
necessary to minimize interference in output sig-
nals, causing adverse effects like e.g. jitter.
9.1.2 I2C Bus Control
The I2C bus is a 2 line bi-directional serial commu-
nication bus introduced by Philips. For its general
description, refer to corresponding Philips I2C bus
specification.
This device is an I2C bus slave, compatible with
fast (400kHz) I2C bus protocol, with write mode
slave address of 8C. Integrators are employed at
the SCL (Serial Clock) input and at the input buffer
of the SDA (Serial Data) input/output to filter off the
spikes of up to 50ns.
The device supports multiple data byte messages
(with automatic incrementation of the I2C bus sub-
address) as well as repeated Start Condition for
I2C bus subaddress change inside the I2C bus
messages. All I2C bus registers with specified I2C
bus subaddress are of WRITE ONLY type.
For the I2C bus control register map, refer to chap-
ter I2C BUS CONTROL REGISTER MAP on
page 20.
9.2 SYNC. PROCESSOR
9.2.1 Synchronization signals
The device has two inputs for TTL-level synchroni-
zation signals, both with hysteresis to avoid erratic
detection and with a pull-down resistor. On H/
HVSyn input, pure horizontal or composite hori-
zontal/vertical signal is accepted. On VSyn input,
only pure vertical sync. signal is accepted. Both
positive and negative polarities may be applied on
either input, see Figure 2. Polarity detector and
programmable inverter are provided on each of
the two inputs. The signal applied on H/HVSyn pin,
after polarity treatment, is directly lead to horizon-
tal part and to an extractor of vertical sync. pulses,
working on principle of integration, see Figure 3.
The vertical sync. signal applied to the vertical de-
flection processor is selected between the signal
extracted from the composite signal on H/HVSyn
input and the one applied on VSyn input. The se-
lector is controlled by VSyncSel I2C bus bit.
Besides the polarity detection, the device is capa-
ble of detecting the presence of sync. signals on
each of the inputs and at the output of vertical
sync. extractor. The device is equipped with an au-
tomatic mode (switched on or off by VSyncAuto
I2C bus bit) that uses the detection information.
