Circuit Description
fier along with contrast and brightness (black level) control
Contrast control is a DC-operated attenuator which varies
the AC gain of the amplifier Signal attenuation (contrast) is
achieved by varying the base drive to a differential pair and
thereby unbalancing the current through the differential pair
As shown in Figure 2 pin 20 provides a 5 3V bias voltage for
the positive input of the attenuator (pin 1) Pin 3 provides a
control voltage for the negative input (pin 2) of the attenua-
tor The voltage at pin 3 varies as the voltage at the contrast
control input (pin 8) varies thus providing signal attenuation
The gain is maximum (0 dB attenuation) if the voltage at pin
8 is 4V and is minimum (maximum attenuation) if the voltage
at pin 8 is 0V The 0V to 4V DC-operated drive control at pin
9 provides a 6 dB gain adjustment range This feature is
necessary for RGB applications where independent gain ad-
justment of each channel is required
The brightness or black level clamping requires a ‘‘sample
and hold’’ circuit which holds the DC bias of the video ampli-
fier constant during the black level reference portion of the
video waveform Black level clamping often referred to as
DC restoration is accomplished by applying a back porch
clamp signal to the clamp gate input pin (pin 14) The clamp
comparator is enabled when the clamp signal goes low dur-
ing the black level reference period (see Figure 2 ) When
the clamp comparator is enabled the clamp capacitor con-
nected to pin 12 is either charged or discharged until the

voltage at the minus input of the comparator matches the
voltage set at the plus input of the comparator During the
video portion of the signal the clamp comparator is disabled
and the clamp capacitor holds the proper DC bias In a DC
coupled cathode drive application picture brightness func-
tion can be achieved by varying the voltage at the compara-
tor’s plus input Note that the back porch clamp pulse width
