Sync Separator, 50% Slice, S-H, Filter
Features
The EL4581 extracts timing informa-
tion from standard negative going
video sync found in NTSC, PAL, and
• NTSC, PAL and SECAM sync separation
• Single supply, +5V
• Precision 50% slicing, internal caps
• Built-in color burst filter
SECAM broadcast systems. It can also be used in non stan-
dard formats and with computer graphics systems at higher
scan rates, by adjusting a single external resistor. When the
input does not have correct serration pulses in the vertical
interval, a default vertical output is produced.
• Decodes non-standard verticals
• Pin compatible with LM1881
• Low power
Outputs are composite sync, vertical sync, burst/back porch
output, and odd/even output. The later operates only in inter-
laced scan formats.
• Typically 1.5mA supply current
• Resistor programmable scan rate
• Few external components
The EL4581 provides a reliable method of determining cor-
rect sync slide level by setting it to the mid-point between
sync tip and blanking level at the back porch. This 50% level
is determined by two internal self timing sample and hold cir-
cuits that track sync tip and back porch levels. This also
provides a degree of hum and noise rejection to the input sig-

P-P
A built in linear phase, third order, low pass filter attenuates
the chroma signal in color systems to prevent incorrectly set
color burst from disturbing the 50% sync slide.
• Imaging
This device may be used to replace the industry standard
LM1881, offering improved performance and reduced power
consumption.
• Video data capture
• Video triggers
The EL4581 video sync separator is manufactured using
Elantec’s high performance analog CMOS process.
