3 Functional Description

3.1 Analog Front End

The TVP5150AM1 decoder has an analog input channel that accepts two video inputs that are

ac-coupled. The decoder supports a maximum input voltage range of 0.75 V; therefore, an attenuation of

one-half is needed for most input signals with a peak-to-peak variation of 1.5 V. The nominal parallel

termination before the input to the device is recommended to be 75 Ω. See the application diagram in

Figure 6-1 for the recommended configuration. The two analog input ports can be connected as either of

the following:

• Two selectable composite video inputs

• One S-video input

An internal clamping circuit restores the sync-tip of the ac-coupled video signal to a fixed dc level.

The programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and the automatic gain control (AGC) algorithm work together to

make sure that the input signal is amplified sufficiently to ensure the proper input range for the ADC.

The ADC has nine bits of resolution and runs at a nominal speed of 27 MHz. The clock input for the ADC

comes from the horizontal PLL.

3.2 Composite Processing Block Diagram

The composite processing block processes NTSC/PAL/SECAM signals into the YCbCr color space.

Figure 3-1 shows the basic architecture of this processing block.

Figure 3-1 shows the luminance/chrominance (Y/C) separation process in the TVP5150AM1 decoder. The

composite video is multiplied by subcarrier signals in the quadrature modulator to generate the color

difference signals Cb and Cr. Cb and Cr are then low pass (LP) filtered to achieve the desired bandwidth

and to reduce crosstalk.

An adaptive four-line comb filter separates CbCr from Y. Chrominance is remodulated through another

quadrature modulator and subtracted from the line-delayed composite video to generate luminance.

Brightness, hue, saturation, and sharpness (using the peaking filter) are programmable via I

The Y/C separation is bypassed for S-video input. For S-video, the remodulation path is disabled.
