ABSTRACT:
A circuit for generating video synchronization timing signals includes a negative peak detector (FIG.5) for following variations of a composite video signal (FIG.1), rather than clamping the most negative voltage of the composite video signal. The negative peak detector provides a voltage level VTIP representative of the voltage at the synchronization tip of the composite video signal. A sample and hold circuit (700,702,704) is used to add an offset VSLICE to VTIP, VSLICE being a voltage level of the breezeway, color burst, or back porch segments of the composite video signal, or a combination of these segments. To prevent amplifier DC offset error voltages from affecting the perceived VSLICE level, an amplifier (800) can be connected in a first position TTIP as part of a negative peak detector to store VTIP on a capacitor, in a second position TH as part of a sample and hold circuit to store VREF on a capacitor, and in a third position TCOMP to compare VSLICE+VTIP measured from the capacitors with the composite video signal to generate the overall circuit output.
