description
The TLS1255 is a wide-band video preamplifier
system intended for high-resolution red-green-blue
(RGB) color monitors with color-saturation control
features. The saturation of a color refers to the
degree of chroma or purity, or the degree of
freedom from admixture with white. In addition to
the RGB preamplifier function, the TLS1255 provides color-saturation control and gain control at the video
system outputs. Each video amplifier (R, G, and B) contains a gain set for adjusting maximum system gain
(AV = 6 dB). The TLS1255 provides a digital level-operated contrast, brightness, color, and gain adjustment. The
video-output stages from TLS1255 directly drive CRT power amplifiers.
The system has been designed to operate from a 12-V supply with all digital level controls operating over a
0-V to 4-V range to make the interface to serial digital buses possible. The TLS1255 also contains a blanking
circuit that clamps the video output voltage to within 0.2 V of ground. The mixer circuit required for the OSD
application is also integrated into the TLS1255, which makes the design of video boards and other applications
easier.
The TLS1255 is characterized for operation from 0
°C to 70°C.
