Overview Package Dimensions

The LA7837, 7838 are vertical deflection output ICs de- unit:mm
veloped for use in high-grade TVs and displays. The inter- 3107-SIP13H
lace and crossover distortion responses, in particular, have

displays.
Also, pulse signals can be used for input signals due to the

Precautions when using with display having short retrace time :

The vertical output ICs LA7837, 7838 are appropriate for use in monitors and displays because the interlace and
crossover distortion responses are superior to those of the LA7835, 7836.
However, since the vertical retrace time of displays is shorter than that of TV, the upper portion of the vertical
picture may stretch. This is because the start waveform of the pin 6 sawtooth wave bends, as shown in Fig.4, due to
the diode response of the clamp waveform. If there is not much time difference between T1 ant TR, the upper portion
of the vertical picture will tend to stretch. The use of a circuit as shown in Fig.3 will cause pin 6 waveform start
wave to become linear, so that stretching is suppressed. The example of circuit application shown in Fig.3 does not
use the trigger input circuit (pin 2) and one-shot multivibrator (pin 3) built in the LA7837, 7838 ; the pin 6 sawtooth
wave is controlled by the LA7855, 7856 vertical output pulse.
Therefore, the discharge circuit and clamp circuit are formed by the external Zener diode and transistor TR2.

Fig. 4

Design Example
For 12V pin 1 power supply
On the LA7837, 7838, pin 3 one-shot multivibrator operates when a trigger pulse enters pin 2. During this time, the
sawtooth wave generator discharge circuit and clamp circuit inside pin 6 operate.
The clamp voltage at this time is figured according to this formula :

VCLAMP=5/12 · VCC ........................... ¡

For 12V,

VCLAMP=5 [V]

Therefore, the Zener diode used in Fig.3 must be rated more than 5V (e.g. 5.6V), otherwise the clamp circuit inside
the IC will operate.

For 9V pin 1 power supply

The same as for 12V, according to formula ¡ :

VCLAMP=3.75 [V]

So, that Zener diode must be rated more than 4V (e.g. 4.5V).

LA7837, 7838 application in a multi-sync system

The LA7837, 7838 can also be used in a vertical frequency multi-sync system.
The LA7837, 7838 do not have an on-chip vertical oscillation circuit, so they operate merely by impressing a trigger
pulse (e.g. 40 to 80Hz) on pin 2.
However, there are two problems with using the LA7837, 7838 as are in a multi-sync system.
One is vertical amplitude. When the trigger pulse changes between 40 to 80Hz, the vertical frequency will rise and
amplitude size decreases (because pin 6 cycle (T1, T2) in the diagram below becomes shorter).

Fig. 8

Countermeasure 1

In order to stabilize vertical size change, an

operational amplifier is used to change the
circuit to one which controls pin 4 vertical
size control current.
Voltage which corresponds to vertical fre-
quency changes is applied to the operational
amplifier to stabilize vertical size.

The other problem is that vertical linearity chages when used at multi-frequency (e.g. 40 to 80Hz).
The reason for this is that R5 and C1 time constants are used for linearity correction (Fig.9), so even though the value
is optimum for a certain frequency, it is not for others.

Countermeasure 2

As shown in Fig.10, good linearity can be obtained by setting frequency ranges of use for R5 and C1 time constants for
vertical linearity correction, and switching them.
For example :
40 to 60Hz Switch A
60 to 80Hz Switch B
For switch A, R5 and C1 are set so that vertical linearity response is optimum for fv≈50Hz.
Next, for switch B, R5’ and C1’ are set for optimum value at fv≈70Hz.
By dividing the vertical trigger pulse range (e.g.40 to 80Hz) and performing linearity correction in this way, linearity
distortion can be kept below about 3%.

Reference

For example, when using the LA7837, 7838 on a multi-sync system with 40 to 80Hz vertical frequency, vertical
linearity distortion will be less than approximately 4%, if vertical size is always uniform.
Therefore, if linearity response of better than 4% is desired, the linearity correnction time constant switching circuit
shown is Fig.10 should be used.
