AN-1599 LMH1981 Evaluation Board Instruction Manual
1
General Description
The LMH1981 evaluation board can be used to evaluate the LMH1981 multi-format sync separator and as
a reference for designing the PCB layout. For more information on PCB layout considerations, see the
LMH1981 Multi-Format Video Sync Separator Data Sheet (SNLS214).
2
Power Supply
The board should be powered with a clean supply voltage of 3.3 V to 5.0 V using the banana jacks VCC
(J2) and GND (J3). The supply should be well-regulated within ±5% variation of the voltage range and
should not be shared directly with other digital circuitry.
3
Video Input
A high-quality DC-coupled video source should be connected to the video input BNC (J1), which is
terminated on-board via a 75 Ω load resistor. For AC-coupled video sources, it may be necessary to
reduce the value of the input coupling capacitor (C4) as described in the data sheet; otherwise, sync loss
may occur during significant changes in video average picture level (random white-to-black field
transitions). It is recommended to drive the LMH1981 input by a professional-grade DC-coupled video
reference.
Because the input can accept either SD or HD video inputs, the PCB footprints for the chroma filter
components were not populated. For SD composite video inputs, it may be necessary to use a RC lowpass filter to attenuate the chroma component so it does not extend below the 50% sync level and also to
improve overall signal-to-noise ratio. The RC filter cutoff frequency is typically set between 0.5 MHz and 2
MHz, which corresponds to chroma attenuation between 17 dB and 6 dB for a 3.58 MHz subcarrier
(NTSC). For HD video inputs, it is suggested to bypass any composite video filtering, as it may reduce the
bandwidth of the HD tri-level sync signal and, thus, increase timing jitter on the HSync output.
4
Test Points
Test points are provided to probe the input and output signals using oscilloscope probes with high input
impedance and low capacitance.

Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
