LMH1981MT/NOPB TI Multi-Format Video Sync Separator IC
The LMH1981MT/NOPB is a high-performance, multi-format video sync separator IC from Texas Instruments (TI), designed to extract critical timing signals from a wide range of standard analog video inputs. Housed in a compact 14-pin TSSOP surface-mount package, this device supports SD, ED, and HD video standards including NTSC, PAL, 480I/P, 576I/P, 720P, and 1080I/P/PsF across composite (CVBS), S-Video (Y/C), and component (YPBPR/GBR) interfaces. It operates from a wide 3.135V to 5.25V supply range and is specified for the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), ensuring robust performance in professional video and broadcast environments.
This IC offers automatic video format detection, eliminating the need for microcontroller programming, and employs precise 50% sync slicing for accurate signal extraction from inputs ranging from 0.5VPP to 2VPP, even with degraded or irregular signal amplitudes. It provides six critical CMOS rail-to-rail outputs: composite, horizontal (HSync), and vertical (VSync) syncs, burst/back porch timing, odd/even field indicator, and an 11-bit serial video format output. Key performance attributes include ultra-low jitter on the HSync falling edge, compatibility with bi-level and tri-level sync signals, low power consumption (typically 30mW), and full RoHS compliance.
Choosing the LMH1981MT/NOPB delivers distinct benefits:
Automatic format detection simplifying system design
Broad SD/HD video compatibility for universal application
Ultra-low jitter HSync ensuring stable clock generation
Wide input amplitude tolerance for degraded signals
Industrial temperature rating for reliable operation
