MITSUBISHI MICROCOMPUTERS
(1) Clamping Circuit and Low-pass Filter
This filter attenuates the noise of the composite video signal input
from the CV
IN
pin. The CV
IN
pin to which composite video signal is
input requires a capacitor (0.1 μF) coupling outside. Pull down the
CV
IN
pin with a resistor of hundreds of kiloohms to 1 M . In addition,
we recommend to install externally a simple low-pass filter using a
resistor and a capacitor at the CV
IN
pin (refer to Figure 25).
(2) Sync Slice Circuit
This circuit takes out a composite sync signal from the output signal
of the low-pass filter. Figure 27 shows the structure of the sync slice
register.
(3) Synchronous Signal Separation Circuit
This circuit separates a horizontal synchronous signal and a vertical
synchronous signal from the composite sync signal taken out in the
sync slice circuit.
Horizontal synchronous signal (H
sep
)
A one-shot horizontal synchronous signal Hsep is generated at
the falling edge of the composite sync signal.
Vertical synchronous signal (V
sep
)
As a V
sep
signal generating method, it is possible to select one of
the following 2 methods by using bit 7 of the sync slice register
(address 00E3
16
).
Method 1
The “L” level width of the composite sync signal is
measured. If this width exceeds a certain time, a V
sep
signal is generated in synchronization with the rising
of the timing signal immediately after this “L” level.
Method 2
The “L” level width of the composite sync signal is
measured. If this width exceeds a certain time, it is
detected whether a falling of the composite sync
signal exits or not in the “L” level period of the timing
signal immediately after this “L” level. If a falling exists,
a V
sep
signal is generated in synchronization with
the rising of the timing signal (refer to Figure 28).
Figure 28 shows a V
sep
generating timing. The timing signal shown
in the figure is generated from the reference clock which the timing
generating circuit outputs.
Reading bit 5 of data slicer control register 2 permits determinating
the shape of the V-pulse portion of the composite sync signal. As
shown in Figure 29, when the A level matches the B level, this bit is
“0.” In the case of a mismatch, the bit is “1.”
For the pins RVCO and the HLF, connect a resistor and a capacitor
as shown in Figure 25. Make the length of wiring which is connected
to these pins as short as possible so that a leakage current may not
be generated.
Note:
It takes a few tens of milliseconds until the reference clock
becomes stable after the data slicer and the timing signal
generating circuit are started. In this period, various timing
signals, H
sep
signals and V
sep
signals become unstable. For
this reason, take stabilization time into consideration when
programming.
