Description

This invention relates to a broad operational range, automatic device for the change of frequency in the horizontal deflection of multi-synchronization monitors.
As it is known, the equipment and monitor apparatus market underwent drastic changes in recent years, especially in the sector of personal computers.
In fact, technological developments have led the manufacturers to break every now and then into the market with some new graphic standards directed to improve the picture quality ever more, both in respect of word processing and the CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) functions.
This continued development involves, however, recurrent changes in the working frequencies of the above-mentioned monitors having regard to the horizontal and vertical deflection features of the picture-defining electron beam.
It will be appreciated that such continued changes are bound to add considerably to the video equipment manufacturer's efforts to follow the market trend. In fact, due to monitors being equpped with deflection circuits which operate at a pre-determined synchronization frequency, a monitor is rendered useless if that frequency is changed.
Accordingly, there exists a demand from manufacturers for deflection circuits capable of operating on a plurality of synchronization frequencies. But no integrated component has been available on the market heretofore which could meet such a demand.
The prior art merely provides deflection circuits comprised of discrete components, which have the obvious disadvantage of occupying a large circuit area and, therefore, burdening the monitor circuitry. In addition, such discrete components carry high prices which are not always matched by their performance.
The underlying technical problem of this invention is to provide an automatic device for frequency changes in the horizontal deflection of multi-synchronization monitors, which has such structural and functional features as to enable continuous synchronization through a broad frequency range, e.g. between 10 kHz and 100 kHz, while ensuring excellent performance anywhere within this utilization range.
This problem is solved by an automatic device of the type as previously indicated being characterized in that it comprises an integrated circuit incorporating,
a frequency meter receiving a synchronization signal on its input;
a phase comparator having two inputs, and in turn receiving said synchronization signal on one input;
a voltage-controlled oscillator adapted to output a signal having its frequency depending on said voltage and being linked operatively to an output of said phase comparator;
a counter connected with its input to the oscillator output, on the one side, and on the other side to the meter output, said counter having an output connected to the other input of the phase comparator and forming the integrated circuit output as well.
The features and advantages of a device according to the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of an embodiment thereof, given by way of illustration and not of limitation with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the device according to this invention; and
FIG. 2 is a diagramatic representation of waveforms of signals appearing in the device of FIG. 1.
With reference to the drawing figures, generally and schematically shown at 1 is an automatic device for enabling the frequency fh in the horizontal deflection of multi-synchronization monitors, not shown because conventional, to be changed.
The device 1 is particularly, but not exclusively, intended for operation within a broad range of frequencies extending from 10 kHz to 100 kHz.
This device 1 comprises an integrated circuit 2 incorporating a circuit portion 3 which is comprised of a frequency meter receiving a synchronization signal S1 at the frequency fh on one input.
The meter 3 receives, on another input, a clock signal S2 derived, for example, from a high-accuracy crystal oscillator 4 outside the circuit 2.
The meter 3 has a plurality n of outputs 5, each connected to a corresponding input 6 of a storage block 7 adapted to store the binary (n-bit) coding of signal S1 frequency value ph.
The storage block 7, in turn, comprises a plurality n of outputs, shown at 8, which are connected to the input side of a counter 9.
The counter 9 has an input 10 which receives a clock signal S3 supplied from the output 11 of a voltage-controlled oscillator VCO.
The oscillation frequency of that device 12 is depending on the value of a control voltage Vc applied to an input 13.
The structure of the integrated circuit 2 further comprises a phase comparator 14 which receives the signal S1 on one input 15. Another input 16 of that comparator 14 is directly connected to an output 21 of the counter 9 which is also a signal output for the circuit 2, producing a voltage value Vout plotted on curve 19 in FIG. 2.
The phase comparator 14 produces, on an output 22, a Vc voltage signal S4 which is applied to the control input 13 of oscillator 12 through a filter 18 adapted to reduce the ripple present on the Vc voltage signal.
The operation of the automatic device according to the invention will be now described with reference to a starting condition with the analog synchronization signal S1, having a frequency fh in the 10 to 100 kHz range, input to the frequency meter 3.
Using the clock signal S2, the meter 3 takes a measurement of the frequency of the analog signal S1, while also performing an analog-to-digital conversion whereby the binary coding N for the value of the frequency fh is presented on the n inputs of the memory 7.
Based on such coding and the value of signal S3 supplied by the oscillator 12, the counter 9 outputs an analog signal whose frequency is the same as that of signal S3 divided by the value N.
This device 1 can effect a so-called latching of the frequency to the variation of signal S1.
In this respect, it is a peculiar feature of this invention that the value of the control voltage Vc of the oscillator 12 is only stable with the signals S1 and S3/N, on the inputs 15 and 16 of the phase comparator 14, at the same frequency.
With said signals under such a condition, as respectively illustrated by the waveforms 17 and 19 in FIG. 2, it is customarily recognized that they are in quadrature and such as to generate on the comparator 14 output a voltage Vc' the continuous component whereof is stable over time as illustrated by curve 20.
Under any other conditions with the value of the frequency fh other than the value of the frequency of signal S3/N, the continuous component of voltage Vc' is unstable and the device unable to operate in a stationary condition. Consequently, the value of the control voltage Vc of oscillator 12 will also be unstable.
The unstable condition of that control voltage brings about a continued variation in the frequency of signal S3, until said frequency will coincide with the value fh of the input signal S1.
The frequency meter 3 is able to measure the value of pf with an approximation of plus/minus 1%. Thus, if the frequency fh undergoes a variation below this small range, the meter 3 may be unable to detect such a variation. In that event, however, the value of the coding N stored in block 7 would still remain unchanged, and the oscillator 12 would alter the value of its own operating frequency so as to allow fh to be latched.
It may be appreciated from the foregoing description that the device 1 of this invention allows of automatic tuning of the oscillator 12 within a broad range of frequencies fh of the input signal S1. This is ensured by that the counter 9, as suitably programmed, makes the frequencies of the oscillator 12 comparable to those of the input synchronizations ph.
The integrated circuit embodying this invention has shown to be peculiarly fast in effecting the frequency latch, thereby greatly enhancing the performances of discrete components made in accordance with the prior art.
Another major advantage of such an integrated circuit is that the oscillator incorporated thereto will operate at a frequency which is much higher than the frequency of the synchronization signal, which keeps the frequency value stable over time, additionally to providing very high performance levels.
Further advantages come from the cost reduction afforded by such a circuit and the ability to accommodate the frequency range of all the current graphic standards for multi-synchronization monitors.
