FEATURES  
Picture content dependent non-linear Y, U and V  
processing by luminance histogram analysis  
Variable gamma control  
Adaptive black and white stretch control  
Skin tone correction  
The adaptive black stretch function of the TDA9178 offers  
the possibility of having a larger ‘weight’ for the black parts  
of the video signal; the white stretch function offers an  
additional overall gain for increased light production.  
Green enhancement  
Blue stretch  
Luminance Transient Improvement (LTI)  
Smart peaking for detail enhancement  
Colour Transient Improvement (CTI)  
SCAn VElocity Modulation (SCAVEM) output  
Line Width Control (LWC)  
To maintain a proper colour reproduction, the saturation of  
the U- and V-colour difference signals is also controlled as  
a function of the actual non-linearity in the luminance  
channel.  
In the colour vector processor, the dynamic skin tone  
correction locally changes the hue of colours that match  
skin tones to the correct hue. The green enhancement  
circuit activates medium saturated green towards to more  
saturated green. The blue stretch circuit can be activated  
which shifts colours near white towards blue.  
Video Dependent Coring (VDC)  
Colour Dependent Sharpness (CDS)  
Noise measurement  
Feature Mode (FM) detector  
Cue Flash (CF) detector  
The spectral processor provides 1D luminance transient  
improvement, luminance detail enhancement by smart  
peaking and a 1 D colour transient improvement.  
Three additional pins for access to 6-bit ADC and  
I2C-bus  
The TDA9178 can be used as a cost effective alternative  
to (but also in combination with) scan velocity modulation.  
Adjustable chrominance delay  
TV standard independent  
In the spectral processor line width control (or aperture  
control) can be user defined. The TDA9178 is capable of  
adjusting the amount of coring according to the video level  
with the video dependent coring. The TDA9178 is also  
capable to give extra sharpness in the cases of saturated  
red and magenta parts of the screen using the colour  
dependent sharpness feature.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The TDA9178 is a transparent analog video processor  
with YUV input and output interfaces. It offers three main  
functions: luminance vector processing, colour vector  
processing and spectral processing. Beside these three  
main functions, there are some additional functions.  
An embedded noise detector measures noise during the  
field retrace in parts which are expected to be free from  
video or text information. With the noise detector a variety  
of ‘smart noise control’ architectures can be set up.  
A feature mode detector is available for detecting signal  
sources like VCR (in still picture mode) that re-insert the  
levels of the retrace part. For this kind of signals the noise  
measurement of the TDA9178 is not reliable.  
In the luminance vector processor, the luminance transfer  
function is controlled in a non-linear way by the  
distribution, in 5 discrete histogram sections, of the  
luminance values measured in a picture. As a result, the  
contrast ratio of the most important parts of the scene will  
be improved. Black restoration is available in the event of  
a set-up in the luminance signal.  
An output signal (on the I2C-bus and on a separate pin) is  
available that detects when the picture content has been  
changed significantly, called cue flash.  
An embedded 6-bit ADC can be used for interfacing three  
analog low frequency voltage signals (e.g. ambient light  
control or beam current voltage level) to the I2C-bus.  
A variable gamma function, after the histogram  
conversion, offers the possibilities of alternative brightness  
control or factory adjustment of the picture tube.

YUV one chip picture improvement based on luminance  
vector-, colour vector- and spectral processor  
TDA9178  
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
Each field the capacitors are discharged and the  
measurement starts all over again.  
Y input selection and amplification  
Parts in the scene that do not contribute to the information  
in that scene, like sub or side titles, should be omitted from  
the histogram measurement. No measurements are  
performed outside the internal fixed window period.  
The gain of the luminance input amplifier and output  
amplifier can be adjusted to signal amplitudes of  
0.315 and 1.0 V typically (excluding sync) by I2C-bus  
bit AMS. The sync part is processed transparently to the  
output, independently of the feature settings.  
The Y, U and V input signals are clamped during the  
burstkey period, defined by the sandcastle reference and  
should be DC-coupled (the circuit uses internal clamp  
capacitors). During the clamp pulse (see Figs 7, 8, 9  
and 10) an artificial black level is inserted in the Y input  
signal to correctly preset the internal circuitry.  
Very rapid picture changes, also related to the field  
interlace, can result in flicker effects. The histogram values  
are averaged at the field rate thus cancelling the flicker  
effects.  
Adaptive black stretch  
The so-called adaptive black stretch gain is one of the  
factors that control the gamma of the picture. This gain is  
controlled by the measured black offset value in the black  
stretch circuit and the I2C-bus adaptive black stretch DAC:  
bits BT5 to BT0. For pictures with no black offset the black  
stretch gain equals unity so the gamma is not changed and  
the DAC setting has no influence. In case of a black offset,  
the black stretch gain is increased so the gamma of the  
picture is reduced. This procedure results in a maximum of  
visible details over the whole range of luminances.  
However, depending on personal taste, sometimes higher  
values of gamma are preferred. Therefore the amount of  
gamma reduction can be adjusted by the DAC.  
Luminance vector processor  
In the luminance vector processor the transfer is controlled  
by a black stretch, the histogram processing and a gamma  
control circuit. The luminance vector processor also  
creates the cue flash signal.  
BLACK STRETCH  
A black detector measures and stores the level of the most  
black part of the scene within an internal defined fixed  
window in each field into a time constant. The time  
constant and the response time of the loop are internally  
fixed. Any difference between this value and the value  
measured during the clamp is regarded as black offset.  
In a closed loop offsets until a predefined value of the full-  
scale value are fed back to the input stage for  
compensation. The loop gain is a function of the histogram  
and variable gamma settings. The black offset correction  
can be switched on and off by the I2C-bus bit BON.  
Related to the corrected black offset the nominal signal  
amplitude is set again to 100% full scale through an  
amplitude stretch function. Luminance values beyond full  
scale are unaffected. Additionally, the measured black  
offset is also used to set the adaptive black stretch gain  
(see also Section “Adaptive black stretch”).  
Adaptive white-point stretching  
For pictures with many details in white parts, the histogram  
conversion procedure makes a transfer with large gain in  
the white parts. The amount of light coming out of the  
scene is reduced accordingly. The white stretcher  
introduces additional overall gain for increased light  
production, and so violating the principle of having a  
full-scale reference. The white-point stretching can be  
switched on or off by means of the I2C-bus bit WPO.  
Standard deviation  
For scenes in which segments of the histogram distribution  
are very dominant with respect to the others, the non-linear  
amplification should be reduced in comparison to scenes  
with a flat histogram distribution. The standard deviation  
detector measures the spread of the histogram distribution  
and modulates the user setting of the non-linear amplifier.  
HISTOGRAM PROCESSING  
For the luminance signal the histogram distribution is  
measured in real-time over five segments within an  
internally defined fixed window in each field. During the  
period that the luminance is in one segment, a  
corresponding internal capacitor is loaded by a current  
source. At the end of the field five segment voltages are  
stored into on-board memories. The voltages stored in the  
memories determine the non-linear processing of the  
luminance signal to achieve a picture with a maximum of  
information (visible details).  
Non-linear amplifier  
The stored segment voltages determine the individual gain  
of each segment in such a way that continuity is granted  
for the complete luminance range.

YUV one chip picture improvement based on luminance  
vector-, colour vector- and spectral processor  
TDA9178  
The maximum and minimum gain of each segment is  
limited. Apart from the adaptive white-point stretching the  
black and white references are not affected by the  
non-linear processing. The amount of non-linearity can be  
controlled by the I2C-bus non-linearity DAC:  
bits NL5 to NL0.  
It comprises three main processing units: the step  
improvement processor, the contour processor and the  
smart sharpness controller.  
Transient improvement processor  
The step improvement processor (see Fig.11) comprises  
two main functions:  
VARIABLE GAMMA  
MINMAX generator  
MINMAX fader.  
On top of the histogram conversion a variable gamma  
function is applied for an alternative brightness control, or  
for factory adjustment. It is intended as an alternative for  
the DC-offset of the classic brightness user control.  
It maintains the black and white references. The gamma  
ranges from 0.5 to 1.5. The gamma can be set by the  
I2C-bus variable gamma DAC: bits VG5 to VG0.  
The MINMAX generator utilizes all taps of an embedded  
luminance delay line to calculate the minimum and  
maximum envelope of all signals momentarily stored in the  
delay line. The MINMAX fader chooses between the  
minimum and maximum envelopes, depending on the  
polarity of a decision signal derived from the contour  
processor. Figures 12, 13 and 14 show some waveforms  
of the step improvement processor and illustrate that fast  
transients result with this algorithm. The MINMAX  
generator also outputs a signal that represents the  
momentary envelope of the luminance input signal.  
This envelope information is used by the smart sharpness  
controller.  
CUE FLASH  
In the present TV environment there is a lot of measured  
information like ambient light and noise. This information  
can be used to make an update of settings of the several  
algorithms after a picture has changed. The cue flash  
signal detects when a picture changes significantly. When  
the picture content has changed, the I2C-bus bit CF is set  
to logic 1 in the status register. After reading the status  
register, bit CF is reset to logic 0. On the output pin CF the  
cue flash information is present (active LOW) for only one  
line in the vertical retrace part. This pin is configured as an  
open drain output and therefore should be pulled up to the  
5 V supply.  
Line width control (also called aperture control) can be  
performed by I2C-bus line width DAC: bits LW5 to LW0.  
This control can be used to compensate for horizontal  
geometry errors caused by the gamma, for blooming of the  
spot of the CRT, or for compensating SCAVEM.  
Contour processor  
Spectral processor  
The contour processor comprises two contour generators  
with different frequency characteristics. The contour  
generator generates a second-order derivative of the  
incoming luminance signal which is supplied to the smart  
sharpness controller. In the smart sharpness controller,  
this signal is added to the properly delayed original  
luminance input signal, making up the peaking signal for  
detail enhancement. The peaking path features a low  
peaking frequency of 2 MHz (at 1fH), or a high peaking  
frequency of 3 MHz (at 1fH), selectable by I2C-bus  
bit CFS.  
In the spectral processor the luminance transfer is  
controlled by smart peaking, colour dependent sharpness  
and luminance transient improvement, defined by the  
sharpness improvement processor. The colour transfer is  
controlled by a colour transient improvement circuit; an  
additional output is available to provide a SCAVEM circuit.  
ADJUSTABLE CHROMINANCE DELAY  
The colour vector processor drives a delay line for  
correcting delay errors between the luminance input signal  
and the chrominance input signals (U and V).  
The chrominance delay can be adjusted in 6 steps of  
12 ns (1fH) or 6 ns (2fH) by the I2C-bus bits CD2 to CD0.  
The contour generators utilize three taps of the embedded  
luminance delay line. Figure 15 illustrates the normalized  
frequency transfer of the filter.  
SHARPNESS IMPROVEMENT PROCESSOR  
The sharpness improvement processor increases the  
slope of large luminance transients of vertical objects and  
enhances transients of details in natural scenes by contour  
correction.

Preliminary specification  
YUV one chip picture improvement based on luminance  
vector-, colour vector- and spectral processor  
TDA9178  
Smart sharpness controller  
The smart peaking algorithm has been designed such that  
the luminance output amplitude will never exceed 110% of  
the luminance input signal amplitude. Therefore the  
normal peaking range (12 dB) will be reduced at large  
transients, and in case of colour dependent sharpness  
there is even more reduction.  
The smart sharpness controller (see Fig.16) is a fader  
circuit that fades between peaked luminance and  
step-improved luminance, controlled by the output of a  
step discriminating device known as the step detector.  
It also contains a variable coring level stage.  
However, by setting bit OSP (Overrule Smart Peaking)  
one can undo the extra peaking reduction in case of colour  
dependant sharpness. It must be emphasized that setting  
OSP may lead to unwanted large luminance output  
signals, for instance in details in red coloured objects.  
The step detector is basically a differentiator, so both  
amplitude of the step and its slope add to the detection  
criterion. The smart sharpness controller has four user  
controls:  
Steepness control, performed by the I2C-bus DAC:  
bits SP5 to SP0  
COLOUR TRANSIENT IMPROVEMENT  
Peaking control, performed by the I2C-bus DAC:  
bits PK5 to PK0  
The colour transient improvement circuit (see Fig.17)  
increases the slope of the colour transients of vertical  
objects. Each channel of the CTI circuit basically consists  
of two delay cells: an electronic potentiometer and an edge  
detector circuit that controls the wiper position of the  
potentiometer. Normally the wiper of the potentiometer will  
be in position B (mid position), so passing the input  
signal B to the output with a single delay. The control  
signal is obtained by the signals A and C.  
Video dependent coring, switched on or switched off by  
the I2C-bus bit VDC  
Coring level control, performed by the I2C-bus DAC:  
bits CR5 to CR0.  
The steepness setting controls the amount of steepness in  
the edge-correction processing path.  
The peaking setting controls the amount of contour  
correction for proper detail enhancement. The envelope  
signal generated by the step improvement processor  
modulates the peaking setting in order to reduce the  
amount of peaking for large sine wave excursions.  
When an edge occurs the value of the control signal will  
fade between +1 and 1 and finally will become zero  
again. A control signal value of +1 fades the wiper in  
position C, passing the two times delayed input signal to  
the output. A control signal of 1 fades the wiper in  
position A, so an undelayed input signal is passed to the  
output. The result is an output signal which has steeper  
edges than the input signal. Contrary to other existing  
CTI algorithms, the transients remain time correct with  
respect to the luminance signal, as the algorithm steepens  
edges proportionally, without discontinuity.  
With video dependent coring, it is possible to have more  
reduction of the peaking in the black parts of a scene than  
in the white parts, and therefore automatically reducing the  
visibility of the background noise.  
The coring setting controls the coring level in the peaking  
path for rejection of high-frequency noise.  
SCAVEM  
All four settings facilitate reduction of the impact of the  
sharpness features, e.g. for noisy luminance signals.  
A luminance output is available for SCAVEM processing.  
This luminance signal is not affected by the spectral  
processing functions.  
COLOUR DEPENDENT SHARPNESS  
The colour dependent sharpness circuit increases the  
luminance sharpness in saturated red and magenta parts  
of the screen. Because of the limited bandwidth of the  
colour signals, there is no need to increase the high  
frequencies of the colour signals. Instead, the details in the  
luminance signal will be enhanced. In this circuit a limited  
number of colours are enhanced (red and magenta).  
Contrary to normal peaking algorithm, extra gain is applied  
for low frequencies (2 MHz at 1fH). This is needed,  
because the information that is lacking below 2 MHz (at  
1fH) is most important. In large coloured parts the normal  
peaking is still active to enhance the fine details.  
Colour vector processor  
The colour processing part contains skin tone correction,  
green enhancement and blue stretch. The colour vector  
processing is dependent on the amplitude and sign of the  
colour difference signals. Therefore, both the polarity and  
the nominal amplitude of the colour difference signals are  
relevant when using the colour vector processor facility.

TDA9178  
SKIN TONE CORRECTION  
The enclosed correction area can be increased to 140% by  
the I2C-bus bit SBL (so-called: Size). The blue stretch can  
be switched on or off by the I2C-bus bit DBL.  
Skin tones are very sensitive for transmission (hue) errors,  
because we have an absolute feeling for skin tones.  
To make a picture look free of hue error, the goal is to  
make sure that skin tones are put at a correct colour.  
SATURATION CORRECTION  
The non-linear luminance processing done by the  
histogram modification and variable gamma, influences  
the colour reproduction; mainly the colour saturation.  
Therefore, the U and V signals are linear processed for  
saturation compensation.  
The dynamic skin tone correction circuit achieves this goal  
by instantaneously and locally changing the hue of those  
colours which are located in the area in the UV plane that  
matches skin tones (see Fig.4).  
The correction is dependent on luminance, saturation and  
distance to the preferred axis and can be done towards  
two different angles. The preferred angle can be chosen by  
bit ASK in the I2C-bus settings. The settings are  
123° (ASK = 0) and 117° (ASK = 1). The enclosed  
correction area can be increased to 140% with the I2C-bus  
bit SSK (so-called: Size). The enclosed detection ‘angle’ of  
the correcting area can be increased to 160% with the  
I2C-bus bit WSK (so-called: Width). The skin tone  
correction can be switched on or off with the I2C-bus  
bit DSK.  
Noise measuring  
A video line which is supposed to be free from video  
information (‘empty line’) is used to measure the amount of  
noise. The measured RMS value of the noise can be used  
for reducing several features, by the I2C-bus interface,  
such as luminance vector processing and spectral  
processing. For the TDA9178 the empty line is chosen  
three lines after recognition of the vertical blanking from  
the sandcastle pulse input. Figures 7, 8, 9 and 10 show  
the measurement locations for different broadcast norms.  
GREEN ENHANCEMENT  
The noise detector is capable of measuring the  
signal-to-noise ratio between 45 and 20 dB. The output  
scale runs linearly with dB. The noise samples are  
averaged for over 20 fields to reduce the fluctuations in the  
measurement process. It is obvious, that for signal  
sources (like VCR in still picture mode) that re-insert the  
levels of the retrace part, the measurement is not reliable  
(see Section “Feature mode detector”). The result of the  
averaging process will update the contents of the I2C-bus  
register: bits ND5 to ND0 at a rate of 132 of the field  
frequency. If a register access conflict occurs, the data of  
the noise register is made invalid by setting the flag bit DV  
(Data Valid) to zero.  
The green enhancement circuit (see Fig.5) is intended to  
shift low saturated green colours towards more saturated  
green colours. This shift is achieved by instantaneously  
and locally changing those colours which are located in the  
area in the UV plane that matches low saturated green.  
The saturation shift is dependent on the luminance,  
saturation and distance to the detection axis of 208°.  
The direction of shift in the colour is fixed by hardware.  
The amount of green enhancement can be increased to  
160% by the I2C-bus bit GGR. The enclosed detection  
‘angle’ of the correcting area can be increased to 160%  
with the I2C-bus bit WGR (so-called: Width). The enclosed  
correction area can be increased to 140% with the I2C-bus  
bit SGR (so-called: Size). The green enhancement can be  
switched on or switched off with the I2C-bus bit DGR.  
Feature mode detector  
A detector is available for detecting signal sources (like  
VCR in still picture mode) that re-inserted the levels of the  
retrace part. For this kind of signals the noise  
BLUE STRETCH  
measurement of the TDA9178 is not reliable, but this  
detector sets bit FM in the ND-register to logic 1.  
For normal video signals bit FM is set to logic 0.  
This circuit measures transients (like synchronization  
pulses) on the luminance input during the internal V-pulse.  
The feature mode detector is setting bit FM to logic 1 when  
no transients are present during 2 lines in the vertical  
retrace part over 3 fields (like the synchronization pulses).  
The blue stretch circuit (see Fig.6) is intended to shift  
colours near white towards more blueish coloured white to  
give a brighter impression. This shift is achieved by  
instantaneously and locally changing those colours which  
are located in the area in the UV plane that matches  
colours near white. The shift is dependent on the  
luminance and saturation. The direction of shift (towards  
an angle of 330°) in the colour is fixed by hardware.  
The amount of blue stretch can be increased to 160% by  
the I2C-bus bit GBL.

TDA9178  
I2C-bus  
Successive approximation ADC  
The I2C-bus is always in standby mode and responds on a  
properly addressed command. Bit PDD (Power-Down  
Detected) in the status register is set each time an  
interruption of the power supply occurs and is reset only by  
reading the status register. A 3-bit identification code can  
also be read from the status register, which code can be  
used to automatically configure the application by  
software.  
Pins ADEXT1, ADEXT2 and ADEXT3 are connected to a  
6-bit successive approximation ADC via a multiplexer.  
The multiplexer toggles between the inputs with each field.  
At each field flyback, a conversion is started for two of the  
three inputs and the result is stored in the corresponding  
bus register ADEXT1, ADEXT2 or ADEXT3. The input pin  
ADEXT1 is updated every field, while input fields  
ADEXT2 and ADEXT3 are updated once in two  
consecutive fields (see Figs 7, 8, 9 and 10). Once in  
32 fields the ADEXT2 input is not updated, because then  
the noise measurement is updated.  
The input control registers can be written sequentially by  
the I2C-bus by the embedded automatic subaddress  
increment feature or by addressing them directly.  
The output control functions cannot be addressed  
separately. Reading out the output control functions  
always starts at subaddress 00H and all subsequent  
words are read out by the automatic subaddress  
increment procedure.  
In this way, any slow varying analog signal can be given  
access to the I2C-bus. If a register access conflict occurs,  
the data of that register is made invalid by setting the flag  
bit DV (Data Valid) to zero.  
Smart noise control  
The bits in the I2C-bus are preset to logic 0 at power-on  
except for bits AMS and VG5: therefore the TDA9178 is in  
1.0 V luminance signal range and the variable gamma is  
set to 20H (gamma correction 0%).  
With the help of the internal noise detector and a  
user-preferred noise algorithm, the user can make a fully  
automatic I2C-bus feature reduction, briefly called ‘Smart  
Noise Control’.  
I2C-BUS SPECIFICATION  
Demonstration mode  
The slave address of the IC is given in Table “Slave  
address”. If pin ADR of the TDA9178 is connected to  
ground, the I2C-bus address is 40H; if pin ADR is  
connected to pin DECDIG, the I2C-bus address is E0H.  
The circuit operates on clock frequencies up to 400 kHz.  
By the I2C-bus bit DEM all the picture improvement  
features can be demonstrated in one picture. By setting  
bit DEM to logic 1, all the features selected by the user are  
active for 5 s in 1fH mode (in 2fH mode: 2.5 s), and for  
another 5 s in 1fH mode (in 2fH mode: 2.5 s) all features  
selected are turned off (then the TDA9178 is ‘transparent’  
to the incoming signal).

To determine the histogram levels and the black offset the  
TDA9178 performs several measurements. An internally  
defined window serves to exclude parts in the scene like  
‘subtitling’ or ‘logos’. The internal window can be regarded  
as a weighting function which has a value of one within a  
square near the centre of the screen and which gradually  
decreases to zero towards the edges.  
Auto-increment mode is available for subaddresses.  
When bit WLB (Window Letter Box) is made logic 1, the  
height of the window is reduced by a factor of 23.  
This prevents the contribution of the black bars above and  
below a 16 : 9 scene to the measurements.

Notes  
1. The amount of correction depends on the parameters of the incoming YUV signals; therefore it is not possible to give  
exact figures for the correction angle. The aperture angle of the correction range of 45° (±22.5°) is just given as an  
indication and is valid for an input signal with a luminance signal amplitude of 75% and a colour saturation of 50%.  
2. The amount of correction depends on the parameters of the incoming YUV signals; therefore it is not possible to give  
exact figures for the correction angle.  
3. The contour signal cannot be measured separately from the luminance input signal. The contour signal is also  
processed by the smart noise controller. The frequency transfer in the peaking mode of the luminance signal can be  
derived from the frequency transfer of the selected contour signal, taking into account the summation of the contour  
signal and the luminance input signal. The frequency transfer is most easily measured by sine excitation with a  
relatively small signal amplitude of 10% of the selected dynamic range of the luminance input, to avoid interaction  
with the step detector.  
4. Peaking set to minimum. Input signal is a sine wave with the nominal peak-to-peak amplitude corresponding to the  
selected input range.  
5. Input signal is a 250 kHz block with a rise time of 260 ns and a nominal peak-to-peak amplitude corresponding to the  
selected input range.

TDA9178  
SOLDERING  
Introduction  
Typical reflow peak temperatures range from  
215 to 250 °C. The top-surface temperature of the  
packages should preferable be kept below 230 °C.  
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology.  
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in  
our “Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages”  
(document order number 9398 652 90011).  
WAVE SOLDERING  
Conventional single wave soldering is not recommended  
for surface mount devices (SMDs) or printed-circuit boards  
with a high component density, as solder bridging and  
non-wetting can present major problems.  
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all IC  
packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when  
through-hole and surface mount components are mixed on  
one printed-circuit board. However, wave soldering is not  
always suitable for surface mount ICs, or for printed-circuit  
boards with high population densities. In these situations  
reflow soldering is often used.  
To overcome these problems the double-wave soldering  
method was specifically developed.  
If wave soldering is used the following conditions must be  
observed for optimal results:  
Use a double-wave soldering method comprising a  
turbulent wave with high upward pressure followed by a  
smooth laminar wave.  
Through-hole mount packages  
SOLDERING BY DIPPING OR BY SOLDER WAVE  
For packages with leads on two sides and a pitch (e):  
The maximum permissible temperature of the solder is  
260 °C; solder at this temperature must not be in contact  
with the joints for more than 5 seconds. The total contact  
time of successive solder waves must not exceed  
5 seconds.  
– larger than or equal to 1.27 mm, the footprint  
longitudinal axis is preferred to be parallel to the  
transport direction of the printed-circuit board;  
– smaller than 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis  
must be parallel to the transport direction of the  
printed-circuit board.  
The device may be mounted up to the seating plane, but  
the temperature of the plastic body must not exceed the  
specified maximum storage temperature (Tstg(max)). If the  
printed-circuit board has been pre-heated, forced cooling  
may be necessary immediately after soldering to keep the  
temperature within the permissible limit.  
The footprint must incorporate solder thieves at the  
downstream end.  
For packages with leads on four sides, the footprint must  
be placed at a 45° angle to the transport direction of the  
printed-circuit board. The footprint must incorporate  
solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.  
MANUAL SOLDERING  
Apply the soldering iron (24 V or less) to the lead(s) of the  
package, either below the seating plane or not more than  
2 mm above it. If the temperature of the soldering iron bit  
is less than 300 °C it may remain in contact for up to  
10 seconds. If the bit temperature is between  
During placement and before soldering, the package must  
be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. The adhesive can be  
applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe  
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the  
adhesive is cured.  
300 and 400 °C, contact may be up to 5 seconds.  
Typical dwell time is 4 seconds at 250 °C.  
A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal  
of corrosive residues in most applications.  
Surface mount packages  
REFLOW SOLDERING  
MANUAL SOLDERING  
Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of  
fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be applied  
to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or  
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement.  
Fix the component by first soldering two  
diagonally-opposite end leads. Use a low voltage (24 V or  
less) soldering iron applied to the flat part of the lead.  
Contact time must be limited to 10 seconds at up to  
300 °C.  
Several methods exist for reflowing; for example,  
infrared/convection heating in a conveyor type oven.  
Throughput times (preheating, soldering and cooling) vary  
between 100 and 200 seconds depending on heating  
method.  
When using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be  
soldered in one operation within 2 to 5 seconds between  
270 and 320 °C.

Notes  
1. All surface mount (SMD) packages are moisture sensitive. Depending upon the moisture content, the maximum  
temperature (with respect to time) and body size of the package, there is a risk that internal or external package  
cracks may occur due to vaporization of the moisture in them (the so called popcorn effect). For details, refer to the  
Drypack information in the “Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages; Section: Packing Methods”.  
2. For SDIP packages, the longitudinal axis must be parallel to the transport direction of the printed-circuit board.  
3. These packages are not suitable for wave soldering as a solder joint between the printed-circuit board and heatsink  
(at bottom version) can not be achieved, and as solder may stick to the heatsink (on top version).  
4. If wave soldering is considered, then the package must be placed at a 45° angle to the solder wave direction.  
The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.  
5. Wave soldering is only suitable for LQFP, QFP and TQFP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger than 0.8 mm;  
it is definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.65 mm.  
6. Wave soldering is only suitable for SSOP and TSSOP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger than 0.65 mm; it is  
definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.5 mm.

The TDA9178 is a transparent analog video processor with YUV input and output interfaces. It offers three main functions: luminance  
vector processing, colour vector processing and spectral processing. Beside these three main functions, there are some additional  
functions.  
PC/PC-peripherals  
Cross reference  
In the luminance vector processor, the luminance transfer function is controlled in a non-linear way by the distribution, in 5 discrete  
histogram sections, of the luminance values measured in a picture. As a result, the contrast ratio of the most important parts of the scene  
will be improved. Black restoration is available in the event of a set-up in the luminance signal.

End of Life information  
Datahandbook system  
A variable gamma function, after the histogram conversion, offers the possibilities of alternative brightness control or factory adjustment of  
the picture tube.  
The adaptive black stretch function of the TDA9178 offers the possibility of having a larger ‘weight’ for the black parts of the video signal;  
the white stretch function offers an additional overall gain for increased light production.  
To maintain a proper colour reproduction, the saturation of the U- and V-colour difference signals is also controlled as a function of the  
actual non-linearity in the luminance channel.

In the colour vector processor, the dynamic skin tone correction locally changes the hue of colours that match skin tones to the correct hue.  
The green enhancement circuit activates medium saturated green towards to more saturated green. The blue stretch circuit can be  
activated which shifts colours near white towards blue.  
TDA9178  
The spectral processor provides 1D luminance transient improvement, luminance detail enhancement by smart peaking and a 1 D colour  
transient improvement. The TDA9178 can be used as a cost effective alternative to (but also in combination with) scan velocity modulation.  
TDA9178  
In the spectral processor line width control (or aperture control) can be user defined. The TDA9178 is capable of adjusting the amount of  
coring according to the video level with the video dependent coring. The TDA9178 is also capable to give extra sharpness in the cases of  
saturated red and magenta parts of the screen using the colour dependent sharpness feature.  
An embedded noise detector measures noise during the field retrace in parts which are expected to be free from video or text information.  
With the noise detector a variety of ‘smart noise control’ architectures can be set up.  
A feature mode detector is available for detecting signal sources like VCR (in still picture mode) that re-insert the levels of the retrace part.  
For this kind of signals the noise measurement of the TDA9178 is not reliable.  
An output signal (on the I²C-bus and on a separate pin) is available that detects when the picture content has been changed significantly,  
called cue flash.  
An embedded 6-bit ADC can be used for interfacing three analog low frequency voltage signals (e.g. ambient light control or beam current  
voltage level) to the I²C-bus.  
In the demonstration mode all the features selected by the user are automatically toggled between on and off.  
The TDA9178 concept has a maximum flexibility which can be controlled by the embedded I²C-bus. The supply voltage is 8 V. The device  
is mounted in a 24-lead SDIP package, or in a 24-lead SO package.
