Color killer circuit
When the input video signal is a monochrome image, this circuit enables effective use of the luminance signal
information regardless of whether there is a burst signal. It does this by preventing the chroma signal output
from the comb filter from being subtracted from the luminance signal.
While the VBI signal is active it is better not to use the comb function. Setting the KILLER pin to High at this
time enables the use of character multiplex and other signals from the Y output unchanged.
10. RESET / TEST pin
Switches between normal comb operation and test operation. Also used for I2C bus reset input. Change in
voltage from Low to High triggers a reset. Normal use is Low.

C bus interface
Some functions and setting values can be selected using the I2C bus. The data transfer format conforms to the
Philips I2C bus format.

Mode 2 to Mode 0 : Select video signal format.
000 : Analog Through Mode 001 : M-PAL 010 : N-PAL 011 : PAL 100 : NTSC
When Analog Through mode is selected, input video signals are output to Yout and Cout unchanged. In
Analog Through mode, the delay time for output signals differs from those used for other modes. Therefore,
when changing modes to Analog Through mode, to decide the input signal format, provide some delay time
until an image is displayed.
There is a case where a 1 LSB error voltage at frequency fsc is multiplexed with the output signal. When
deciding the input signal format, to avoid an erroneous decision due to fsc leakage, be careful when setting
the decision sensitivity (killer sensitivity).
When the input signal is SECAM or 4.43 NTSC, select Analog Through mode. A separate BELL filter or a
BPF is required.
