FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LMH1981 is a high performance multi-format
sync separator ideal for use in a wide range of video
applications, such as broadcast and professional
video equipment and HDTV/DTV systems.

•
Standard Analog Video Sync Separation for
NTSC, PAL, 480I/P, 576I/P, 720P, and
1080I/P/PsF from Composite Video (CVBS),
S-Video (Y/C), and Component Video
(YPBPR/GBR) Interfaces
The input accepts standard analog SD/ED/HD video
signals with either bi-level or tri-level sync, and the
outputs provide all of the critical timing signals in
CMOS logic, which swing from rail-to-rail (VCC and
GND) including Composite, Horizontal, and Vertical
Syncs, Burst/Back Porch Timing, Odd/Even Field,
and Video Format Outputs. HSync features very low
jitter on its leading (falling) edge, minimizing external
circuitry needed to clean and reduce jitter in
subsequent clock generation stages.

Automatic Video Format Detection
The LMH1981 automatically detects the input video
format, eliminating the need for programming using a
microcontroller, and applies precise 50% sync slicing
to ensure accurate sync extraction at OH, even for
inputs with irregular amplitude from improper
termination or transmission loss. Its unique Video
Format Output conveys the total horizontal line count
per field as an 11-bit binary serial data stream, which
can be decoded by the video system to determine the
input video format and enable dynamic adjustment of
system parameters, i.e.: color space or scaler
conversions. The LMH1981 is available in a 14-pin
TSSOP package and operates over a temperature
range of −40°C to +85°C.
