DATASHEET
EL1881
Sync Separator, Low Power
The EL1881 video sync separator is manufactured using
Elantec’s high performance analog CMOS process. This
device extracts sync timing information from both standard
and non-standard video input. It provides composite sync,
vertical sync, burst/back porch timing, and odd/even field
detection. Fixed 70mV sync tip slicing provides sync edge
detection when the video input level is between 0.5V
P-P
and
-2V
P-P
(sync tip amplitude 143mV to 572mV). A single
external resistor sets all internal timing to adjust for various
video standards. The composite sync output follows video in
sync pulses and a vertical sync pulse is output on the rising
edge of the first vertical serration following the vertical
pre-equalizing string. For non-standard vertical inputs, a
default vertical pulse is output when the vertical signal stays
low for longer than the vertical sync default delay time. The
odd/even output indicates field polarity detected during the
vertical blanking interval. The EL1881 is plug-in compatible
with the industry-standard LM1881 and can be substituted
for that part in 5V applications with lower required supply
current.
The EL1881 is available in the 8 Ld PDIP and SOIC
packages and is specified for operation over the full -40°C to
+85°C temperature range

PIN FUNCTION
Composite sync pulse output; sync pulses start on a falling edge and end on a rising edge
AC coupled composite video input; sync tip must be at the lowest potential (positive picture phase)
Vertical sync pulse output; the falling edge of vert sync is the start of the vertical period
Supply ground
Burst/back porch output; low during burst portion of composite video
An external resistor to ground sets all internal timing; a 681k 1% resistor will provide correct timing for
NTSC signals
Odd/even field output; high during odd fields, low during even fields; transitions occur at start of vert sync
pulse
Positive supply (5V)

NOTES:
2. Please refer to TB347 for details on reel specifications.
3. These Intersil Pb-free plastic packaged products employ special Pb-free material sets, molding compounds/die attach materials, and 100% matte
tin plate plus anneal (e3 termination finish, which is RoHS compliant and compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations). Intersil
Pb-free products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J STD-
020.
