DESCRIPTION
The UTC These drivers have a nominal 60Ω output impedance to match the characteristic impedance of the HSYNC and VSYNC lines of the video cables typically used. The inputs of these drivers also have high impedance pull−ups (50kΩ nom.) pulling up to the VAUX rail. In addition, the DDC_CLOCK and DDC_DATA channels have 1.8kΩ resistors pulling these inputs up to the main 5V (VCC) rail. The upper ESD diodes for the R, G and B channels are connected to a separate supply rail (VRGB) to facilitate interfacing to graphics controller ICs with low voltage supplies. The remaining channels are connected to the main 5 V rail (VCC). The lower diodes for the R, G and B channels are also connected to a dedicated ground pin (GNDA) to minimize crosstalk due to common ground impedance. ESD protection is implemented with current steering diodes designed to safely handle the high peak surge currents associated with the IEC−1000−4−2 Level−4 ESD Protection Standard (±8kV contact discharge).
