LM1238 110 MHz I2C Compatible RGB Preamplifier with Internal Simple OSD Generator 4 DACs June 2003 LM1238 110 MHz I2C Compatible RGB Preamplifier with Internal Simple OSD Generator and 4 DACs General Description The LM1238 pre-amp is an integrated, three channel video pre-amp. It has an I2C compatible interface which allows control of all the parameters necessary to directly setup and adjust the gain and contrast in the CRT display. Four I2C compatible DACs are available to control monitor bias and brightness circuits. The LM1238 preamp is designed to be 100% compatible with the LM246x high gain driver family and the LM2479/80 Clamp ICs. Black level clamping of the video signal is carried out directly on the AC coupled input signal into the high impedance pre-amplifier inputs, eliminating the need for additional clamp capacitors. Horizontal and vertical blanking of the outputs is provided. Vertical blanking is optional and its duration is register programmable. n OSD override allows OSD messages to be displayed while blanking input video n Internally generated burn-in screen n 4 DAC outputs (8-bit resolution) for bus controlled CRT bias and brightness n Spot killer which blanks the video outputs when VCC falls below the specified threshold n Suitable for use with discrete or integrated clamp, with software configurable brightness mixer n H and V blanking (V blanking is optional and has register programmable width) n Power Saving Mode with 65% power reduction n Matched to LM...
