Raster Timing Generator PCB - Operation

The Raster Timing Generator PCB generates a square wave that is phase-locked to the horizontal sync pulse. It generates timing signals such as Blanking that goes to the Video Processor PCB and Video Amplifier PCB, and the H_DRIVE signal that goes to the Horizontal Vertical Deflection PCB. The PLL (Phase Locked Loop) locks these signals to the horizontal sync signal. The Raster Timing Generator PCB has LEDs that indicate the type of sync pulse received and the status of the PLL circuit (see Figure 5-12).

The H_DRIVE signal supplies a sample of the horizontal scan frequency to the horizontal deflection amplifier on the Horizontal Vertical Deflection PCB for timing of the horizontal deflection waveform.

The Raster Timing Generator PCB checks the incoming syncs to make sure they are valid signals and within the frequency ranges (15 - 90 kHz - horizontal, and 45

-120 Hz vertical). If the syncs are out of range, or there is no sync pulse, the Raster Timing Generator PCB generates an internal interlaced sync at 33.7 kHz horizontal and 60 Hz vertical.

The Raster Timing Generator PCB tells the System Controller PCB when there has been a source change using the SOURCE_VALID signal.

The Raster Timing Generator PCB generates the Blanking signal, and the horizontal Phase signal.

!Blanking shuts off the image during times where there is no active video. The Blanking signal pulls the G1 voltage on the Video Amplifier PCB down far enough to make the CRT shut off. The Raster Timing Generator PCB receives the top, bottom, left, or right blanking command on the IIC bus and sends the appropriate Blanking signal to the Video Processor PCB. The Raster Timing Generator PCB receives the Blanking adjustment commands on the IIC bus.

!The horizontal Phase signal adjusts the on-screen image horizontally to compensate for different phase requirements at different horizontal scan frequencies. The Raster Timing Generator PCB receives this command from the System Controller PCB on the IIC bus.

The Raster Timing Generator PCB sends several signals such as 280_CLOCK signal to the System Controller PCB to correctly set the timing for shading and convergence data.

In order to combat noise caused by crosstalk between supplies (beat patterns) the High Voltage Power Supply is phase locked to the incoming horizontal frequency by the HVPS_SYNC signal.

The horizontal flyback time gets shorter as the horizontal scan frequency increases. The Raster Timing Generator PCB works together with the Horizontal
