Abstract
A sync signal acquisition device is disclosed which comprises a transistor, a resistor, a clamper, an analog multiplexer and a comparator. While operating in a composite HS mode, prior to the generation of the sync signal HS, the invention uses a conventional circuit to extract a composite sync signal at start-up, thereby allowing related circuits to generate the sync signal HS and a clamping signal. Then, a mode selecting signal is used to disable the automatic clamping mode and switch the analog multiplexer to a forced clamping mode. At this point, the output voltage of the damper is set by a user instead of process; accordingly, the DC voltage level is more controllable, but not subject to drift due to process changes or temperature changes.
