DESCRIPTION
The TDA9206 is a digitaly controlled wideband
video preamplifier intended for use in high resolu-
tion color monitor. All controls and adjustments are
digitaly performed thanks to I
2
C serial bus. Con-
trast, brightness and DC output level of RGB sig-
nals are common to the 3 channels and drive
adjustment is separate for each channel. Three I
2
C
gain controlled OSD inputs can be switched with
RGB signals using fast blanking command. Clamp-
ing of RGB signals is performed thanks to a flexible
integrated system. The white balance adjustment
is effective on brightness, video and OSD signals.
The TDA9206works for application usingAC or DC
coupled CRT driver.
Because of its features and due to component
saving the TDA9206 leads to a very performantand
cost effective application.

TDA9206
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Input Stage
The R, G and B signals must be fed to the three
inputs through coupling capacitors (100nF).
The maximum input peak-to-peak video amplitude
is 1V.
The input stage includes a clamping function. This
clamp is using the input serial capacitor as ”mem-
ory capacitor” and is gated by an internally gener-
ated ”Back-Porch-Clamping-Pulse (BPCP)”.
The synchronization edge of the BPCP is selected
according bit 0 of register R8.
When B0R8 is set to 1, the BPCP is synchronized
on the leading edge of the blanking pulse BLK
inputs on Pin 14 (see Figure 1).

HSYNC
BPCP
9206-04.EPS

This DC-Offset is present only outside the blanking
pulse (see Figure 3).
The DC output level during the blanking pulse, is
forced to ”INFRA-BLACK” level (V
DC
).
Drive Adjustment
(3 x 8 bits)
In order to adjust the white balance , the TDA9206
offers the possibility to adjust separately the overall
gain of each complete video channel.
The gain of each channel is controlled by I
2
C (8bits
each).
The very large drive adjustment range (48dB) allows
different standard or custom color temperature.
It can also be used to adjust the output voltages at
the optimum amplitude to drive the C.R.T drivers,
keeping the whole contrast control for end-user only.
The drive adjustment is located after the CON-
TRAST, BRIGHTNESS and OSD switch blocks, so
that the white balance will remains correct when
BRT is adjusted, and will also be correct on OSD
portion of the signal.
OSD Inputs
The TDA9206 includes all the circuitry necessary
to mix OSD signals into the RGB main-picture. Four
pins are dedicated to this function as follow.
Three TTL RGB On Screen Display inputs
(Pin 2, 5 and 8). These three inputs are connected
to the three outputs of the corresponding ON-
SCREEN-DISPLAY processor (ex : STV942x).
One Fast Blanking Input (FBLK, Pin 13) which is
also connected to the FBLK output of the same
ON-SCREEN-DISPLAY processor.
When a high level is present on FBLK, the IC will
acts as follow :
- The three main picture RGB input signals are
internally switched to the internal input clamp
reference voltage.
- The three output signals are set to voltages
corresponding to the state (0 or 1) on the three
OSD inputs (see Figure 3).
Example :
If FBLK = 1 and OSD1, OSD2, OSD3) = 1, 0, 1
respectively.
Then OUT1, OUT2, OUT3 will be equal to V

PP
by step of 0.312V.
Semi-transparent function is controlled thanks to
Bit 6 of R8 register (see Table 1).
When semi-transparent mode is activated, video
signal is divided by 2 (CONT).

Internal pulse width is controlled by I
2
C
When B0R8 is clear to 0, the BPCP is synchronized
on the second edge of the horizontal pulse HSYNC
inputs on Pin 24. An automatic function allows to
use positive or negative horizontal pulse on Pin 24
(see Figure 2).

In both case BPCP width is adjustable by I

C, B1
and B2 of register R8 (see R8 Table P8).
Contrast Adjustment
(8 bits)
The contrast adjustment is made by controlling
simultaneously the gain of three internal variable
gain amplifiers through the I
2
C bus interface.
The contrast adjustment allows to cover a typical
range of 48dB.
Brightness Adjustment
(8 bits)
As for the contrast adjustment, the brightness is
controlled by I
2
C.
The brightness function consists to add the same
DC offset to the three R, G, B signals after contrast
amplification.

- The output CLAMP : The IC also incorporates
three internal output clamp (sample and hold
system) which allow to DC shift the three output
signals. The DC output voltage is adjustable
through I
2
C with 4 bits. Practicaly, the DC output
level allow to adjust the BLK level
(V

) from 0.9V to 2.9V
with 12 x 165mV.
The overall waveforms of the output signal ac-
cording to the different adjustment are shown in
Figures 3 and 4.

Notes :
1. All OSD colors are displayed.
2. One OSD color is displayed as semi-transparent video

Output Stage
The three output stages incorporate three functions
which are :
- The blanking stage : When high level is applied
to the BLK input (Pin 14), the three outputs are
switched to a voltage which is 400mV lower than
the BLACK level. The black level is the output
voltage with minimum brightness when input
signal video amplitude is equal to ”0”.
- The output stage itself : It is a large bandwidth
output amplifier which allow to deliver up to 5V
PP
on the three outputs (for 0.7V video signal on the
inputs). The typical bandwidth is 100MHz at -3dB
measured with 4V
PP
output signal on 12pF load.

Data Transfer
The host MCU can write data into the TDA9206
registers. Read mode is not available.
To write data into the TDA9206, after a start, the
MCU must send (see Figure 5) :
- The I
2
C address slave byte with a low level for the
R/W bit.
- The byte of the internal register address where
the MCU wants to write data(s).
- The data.
All bytes are sent MSB bit first and the write data
transter is closed by a stop.
