FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The RGB input signals 0.7 V (p-p) are capacitively coupled
into the TDA4884 (pins 2, 5 and 8) from a low ohmic
source and are clamped to an internal DC voltage (artificial
black level). Composite signals will not disturb normal
operations because an internal clipping circuit cuts all
signal parts below black level. All channels have a
maximum total voltage gain of 7 dB (maximum contrast
and maximum individual channel gain). With the nominal
channel gain of 1 dB and nominal contrast setting the
nominal black-to-white output amplitude is 0.79 V (p-p).
DC voltages are used for contrast and gain control.
7.1
Contrast control
Contrast control is achieved by a voltage at pin 6 and
affects the three channels simultaneously. To provide the
correct white point, an individual gain control (pins 3, 1 and
11) adjusts the signals of channels 1, 2 and 3.
7.2
Output stages
Each output stage provides a current output (pins 20, 17
and 14) and a voltage output (pins 19, 16 and 13). External
cascode transistors reduce power consumption of the IC
and prevent breakdown of the output transistors. Signal
output currents and peaking characteristics are
determined by external components at the voltage outputs
and the video supply. The channels have separate internal
feedback loops which ensure large signal linearity and
marginal signal distortion irrespective of output transistor

variation.
7.3
Input clamping
The clamping pulse (pin 10) is used for input clamping
only. The input signals have to be at black level during the
clamping pulse and are clamped to an internal artificial
black level. The coupling capacitors are used in this way
for black-level storage. Because the threshold for the
clamping pulse is higher than that for vertical blanking
(pin 10) the rise and fall times of the clamping pulse need
