LA76810 Series Information

PRODUCT INFORMATION

LA76810 Series

Single-Chip Color TV IC Series Developed

IC product series provides support for both low cost and global

products.

Overview

As generation after generation of color TV signal-processing IC is developed, and as rationalization

progresses in the design of these ICs, the companies that produce these ICs find themselves in a battle

not just for market share, but for their very survival. TV manufacturers, who are facing the rapid collapse

of prices in consumer products, now strongly desire both support for global products and

reduced total costs in the ICs for these products. To respond to these needs, Sanyo has developed the

LA76810 Series of single-chip color TV signal-processing ICs.

To provide reduced design costs in application products, the LA76810 Series are designed to support

end products with common printed circuit boards across the product line, and also to support global

products by supporting a variety of TV standard combinations, including NTSC, PAL/NTSC, and

multi-format. To reduce total costs, these ICs are based on the concept of reducing adjustments in

external components by using an I2C bus, and furthermore aim at reducing the number of adjustments

by adopting adjustment-free technology (e.g., the IF circuit is adjustment free), and by using circuit

technologies (such as S-BPF/TRAP, DDS, and CCD) to reduce the number of components.

Additionally, these products support end product differentiation by the adoption of unique technologies,

such as built-in SG circuits, demodulation ratio and demodulation angle adjustment functions,

and an AKB function.

Features

Global Product Support (Pin to Pin Structure)

There are now three formats used for color TV broadcasts: PAL, NTSC, and SECAM. Since the signal

processing required for these formats differs, it has been necessary to design printed circuit boards

using different ICs for these different signal formats. However, since the LA76810 Series ICs are

formed with a pin to pin structure as the pin arrangement, these products allow sharing of the printed

circuit board circuit constants and layout, the items that make up the customer's design know-how.

• LA76810: Multi-format support (PAL, NTSC, and SECAM)

• LA76812: PAL and NTSC support

• LA76814: NTSC support

Reductions in Total Costs

• Number of external component adjustments reduced by the use of an I2C bus and by reducing the

number of on-board rheostats.

An I2C bus is used for controlling this IC, and this allows the number of adjustment points that

require trimmers on the printed circuit board to be reduced.

• Number of adjustments reduced by the adoption of adjustment-free technology.

— Adjustment-free IF (VCO and AFT circuits)

The VCO coil adjustment and the AFT coil adjustment are now handled by adjustment-free

technology.

• Number of external components reduced by the adoption of circuit technologies.

— S-TRAP, S-BPF

The sound trap and sound bandpass filter circuits, which were previously implemented using

external components, are now provided on chip.

— Horizontal oscillator element

The horizontal oscillator element, which was previously an external component, is now

provided on chip.

— Single crystal operation provided by DDS technology

The functions of the two or three crystal oscillator elements previously required for color

demodulation can now be handled by a single crystal oscillator element due to the adoption of

DDS*1 technology.

*1: DDS (direct digital synthesizer) technology allows multiple-frequency oscillations

to be implemented with the precision provided by normal crystal oscillators with a single

crystal element.

— Built-in CCD provided by multi-chip packaging (2 chips in a single package): LA76810 and

LA76812

There is now demand for built-in delay lines (CCDs) in PAL system ICs. These products

respond to this need by combining 2 chips in a single package: a bipolar chip, which focuses

on analog processing, and a CMOS chip that provides the CCD functionality.

Product Differentiation Provided by Unique Technologies

• Production rationalization provided by an on-chip signal generator.

— These are the industry’s first single-chip color TV ICs that include a built-in signal generator.

This functionality was proposed by Sanyo to achieve rationalization in the TV manufacturing

process.

• End product differentiation provided by demodulation ratio and demodulation angle adjustment

function.

— This function was proposed by Sanyo for TV set color creation, in particular, as a means for

correcting sample-to-sample variations in the color balance in TV tubes.

• Manufacturing rationalization provided by an AKB function.

— The AKB function provided by these ICs allows easy adjustment of the white balance during

manufacturing using a microcontroller.
