Preliminary specification
Integrated PAL comb filter
SAA4960
The input signals of the control and clock processing
(CLOCK CONTROL) are:
H
DET
: analog horizontal pulse from sync separator
V
DET
: analog vertical pulse from sync separator
FSC: subcarrier frequency (f
sc
or 2
×
f
sc
)
FSCSW: reference frequency selection
BYP: BYPASS control signal
SSYN: vertical synchronous mode selection for BYP
and polarity selection of BYP.
The output signals are:
CL3: system clock (3
×
f
sc
)
HSEL’s: line start signals for the delay lines
STOPS: forces the comb filter via the switches S2A,
S2B and S2C into the BYPASS-mode (always
asynchronous) or COMB-mode (synchronous or
asynchronous with V
INT
; depending on SSYN)
COMBENA: HIGH during COMB-mode; otherwise
LOW.

Function of STOPS signal
H
ORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL SYNC SEPARATOR
A build-in sync separator circuit generates the H
DET
and
V
DET
signals from the Y
ext
/CVBS input signal. This circuit
is still working properly at input signals with a 12 dB
attenuated sync in a normal 700 mV black-to-white video
signal (see Fig.4).
C
LAMP
The black level clamping of the video input signal is
performed by the sync separator stage. The clamping level
is nearly adequate to the voltage at REFDL (pin 24).
S
IGNAL SWITCH
S1
The switch is included to bypass the low-pass input filter.
For the CVBS input of the delay line block two signals can
be selected via the slow signal switch S1.

S2C
Two switches are included to bypass the comb filter signal
processing. The input video signal C

for the switch S2C
is internally biased.
For the Y

output two signals can be selected via S2B.
