description

The SN28837 is a monolithic integrated circuit designed to supply timing signals for the Texas Instruments 8-mm-diagonal TC276 (PAL color) and TC277 (PAL monochrome) CCD image sensors. The SN28837 supplies both CCD-drive signals and PAL-television synchronization signals at standard video rates. It requires a single 5-V supply voltage and a 13.37-MHz crystal oscillator input. The SN28837 provides the user with several options including multiple antiblooming modes, variable integration time, external synchronization, clamp pulse selection, and delayed horizontal transfer.

The SN28837 is designed to drive the CCD image sensor through intermediary level-shifting devices such as the TI TMS3473B parallel driver and the SN28846 serial driver. It also supplies sample-and-hold signals for the TI TL1593 3-channel sample-and-hold circuit and multiplex signals for the TI TL1051 video preprocessor. In color applications, the SN28837 interfaces with the SN28838 color subcarrier generator to generate the PAL color subcarrier.

The SN28837 is supplied in a 60-pin plastic flat package and is characterized for operation from -20°C to 45°C.

This device contains circuits to protect its inputs and outputs against damage due to high static voltages or electrostatic fields. These circuits have been qualified to protect this device against electrostatic discharges (ESD) of up to 2 kV according to MIL-STD-883C, Method 3015; however, precautions should be taken to avoid application of any voltage higher than maximum-rated voltages to these high-impedance circuits. During storage or handling, the device leads should be shorted together or the device should be placed in conductive foam. In a circuit, unused inputs should always be connected to an appropriate logic voltage level, preferably either V_CC or ground. Specific guidelines for handling devices of this type are contained in the publication Guidelines for Handling Electrostatic-Discharge-Sensitive (ESDS) Devices and Assemblies available from Texas Instruments.
