How to Use the TDA911X and Improve Performances

TDA911x Deflection Processors at a Glance

The TDA911x is a family of deflection processors for multisync monitors, incorporating horizontal 
and vertical processing, geometry correction, dynamic corrections (focus and/or brightness etc.), 
DC/DC conversion and various safety and auxiliary functions. They are entirely controlled through 
an I²C interface.

The TDA9112 was designed as an upgrade of the TDA9109/9111, using the same 32-pin shrink 
DIP package. The pin-out remains nearly the same in order to simplify new layouts; however some 
minor changes were necessary, mainly to pack more functions inside. Those already familiar with 
TDA9109/9111 will recognize all the functions and operation styles they are accustomed to use. 

For low- and medium-range applications where certain sophisticated features are not required, 
several different economical versions of the TDA9112 are available: TDA9113, TDA9115 and 
TDA9116

Table 1

 summarizes their respective features. All versions are pin- and software-

compatible, with minor exceptions

.

Recently, the most complete version of the TDA9112 has been upgraded into the higher 
performance TDA9112A. Improvements concern mainly geometry and focus corrections, but also 
jitter behavior, B+ function, safety and I²C control. The design guidelines provide that the 
TDA9112A should operate at once when fitted in the place of an existing TDA9112 (even if the 
ideal I²C register settings may differ slightly).

Section 2: Special Features of the TDA9112A

 summarizes the improvements incorporated in 

TDA9112A. For a detailed description of each, please refer to the relevant chapters.
