SECTION VII: 3-DIMENSION Y/C SEPARATOR CIRCUIT
1. OUTLINE
The 3D YC separation circuit uses a comb filter with a frame memory and ideally separates the Y (luminance) and color signal for still parts of a picture, thus providing a clean pic- ture without:
(1)Dot interference causing at border areas of color pic- tures.
(2)Excess color in vertical direction.
However in a moving picture, as the picture moves between the first and second frames, good separation is not obtained.
To prevent this, a motion detection is carried out in the 3D YC separation (hereafter called YCS) unit (PB6347). When a picture moving is detected a 2D YC separation using a line memory is switched in and when not detected or for a still picture 3D YC separation is switched in, thereby cor- recting defects both the systems have and performing the ideal YC separation. The motion detection accuracy and smoothness of the switching, etc. are controlled through the IIC bus.
After completion of the Y and S signal separation, a vertical contour correction is carried out for the Y signal.

2-2. Circuit Description
Fig. 7-1 shows a block diagram of the YCS circuit.
(1)A video signal sent through the AV switching circuit passes the input terminal (DG) and enters the YCS unit.
(2)The video signal entered is limited in its band width in passing through an aliasing distortion elimination LPF consisting of LZ22, etc. , and then enters pin 56 of QZ01.
(3)At the same time, a fsc (3.58 MHz) signal being oscil- lated in the video signal color IC (Q501, AN1222AN) is fed to pin 28 of QZ01 and converted into a 4fsc (14.32 MHz), a drive clock frequency inside the IC.
(4)The video signal entered pin 56 of QZ01 is processed inside the IC and a luminance (Y) signal is developed at pin 48 of QZ01 and the color signal at the pin 51.
(5)The Y signal developed at pin 48 of QZ01 passes a LPF (LZ20, etc.) which eliminates the clock signal component, amplified by a 6dB amplifier QZ21, etc. and comes out from the DC terminal as the Y signal.
(6)At the same time, the color signal developed at pin 51 of QZ01 passes a LPF (LZ21, etc.) which eliminates the clock component, amplified by 6dB by QZ23, etc. and comes out from DD terminal through a buffer of QZ24 as the C signal.
The YCS unit consists of a YC separation IC (QZ01, TC9086F) which plays major roles, 2 Mbyte field memory (QZ02, QZ03), clock generation IC (QZ04, TA8667F), and peripheral circuits (LPF, AMP,emitter followers, etc.).
Of the above circuit blocks, QZ01 (TC9086F) includes an A/D converter, D/A converter, clamp circuit, 4fsc PLL cir- cuit, 1 line dot countermeasure circuit, vertical contour cor- rection logic circuit, etc. and provides a high separation with less variations.
(7)QZ04 is generating a clock signal used to read and write the digital data between QZ03 and QZ04 based on the video signal.
(QZ16 emitter: 28.6 MHz ± 0.2 MHz, adjusted by LZ25.)
