27. All frequency variations are referenced to 3.58 or 4.43 MHz carrier frequency. All oscillator specifications are
measured with the Philips crystal series 9922 520 with a series capacitance C
s
= 18 pF. The oscillator circuit is rather
insensitive to the spurious responses of the crystal. As long as the resonance resistance of the third overtone is
higher than that of the fundamental frequency the oscillator will operate at the correct frequency. The typical crystal
parameters for the crystal series are:
a) Load resonance frequencies f
L
: 4.433619, 3.579545, 3.582056 and 3.575611 MHz; C
s
= 20 pF.
b) Motional capacitance C
mot
= 20.6 fF (4.43 MHz crystal) or C
mot
= 14.7 fF (3.58 MHz crystal).
c) Parallel capacitance C
p
= 5.0 pF.
The minimum detuning range can only be specified if both the IC and the crystal tolerances are known and therefore
the figures regarding catching range are only valid for the specified crystal series. In this figure tolerances of the
crystal with respect to the nominal frequency, motional capacitance and ageing have been taken into account and
have been counted for gaussic addition. Whenever different typical crystal parameters are used the following
equation might be helpful for calculating the impact on the tuning capabilities:
Detuning range =
The resulting detuning range should be corrected for temperature shift and supply voltage deviation of both the IC
and the crystal. To guarantee a catching range of
±
300 Hz on 4.43 MHz the minimum motional capacitance of the
crystal must have a value 13.2 fF or higher. For a catching range of 250 Hz with the 3.58 MHz crystal the minimum
motional capacitance must have a value of 9 fF. The actual series capacitance in the application should be
C
s
= 18 pF to account for parasitic capacitances on-chip and off-chip.
28. The hue control is active for NTSC on the demodulated colour difference signals and for PALplus on the demodulated
helper signal.
29. This parameter indicates the bandwidth of the complete chrominance circuit including the chrominance band-pass
filter. The bandwidth of the low-pass filter of the demodulator is approximately 1 MHz.
30. This delay is partially caused by the low-pass filter at the sync separator input.
31. The internal luminance signal (signal which is derived from the incoming CVBS or Y/C signals) has a separate gain
control setting (controlled by the I
2
C-bus bits GAI1 and GAI0 and with a gain variation between
1 and +2 dB) which
can be used to get an optimal input signal amplitude for the feature box.
32. The slicing level is independent of sync pulse amplitude. The given percentage is the distance between the slicing
level and the black level (back porch). When the amplitude of the sync pulse exceeds the value of 350 mV the sync
separator will slice the sync pulse at a level of 175 mV above top sync. The maximum sync pulse amplitude is 4 V
(peak-to-peak value).
33. To obtain a good performance for both weak signal and VCR playback the time constant of the first control loop is
switched depending on the input signal condition and the condition of the I
2
C-bus. Therefore the circuit contains a
noise detector and the time constant is switched to the slow mode when too much noise is present in the signal. In the
fast mode during the vertical retrace time the phase detector current is increased 50% so that phase errors due to
head-switching of the VCR are corrected as soon as possible. Switching between the two modes can be automatic
or overruled by the I
2
C-bus.
The circuit contains a video identification circuit which is independent of the first control loop. This identification circuit
can be used to close or open the first control loop when a video signal is present or not present on the input. This
enables a stable On Screen Display (OSD) when just noise is present at the input. The coupling of the video
identification circuit with the first control loop can be revoked via the I
2
C-bus.
