FLASHOVER PROTECTION
The TDA6120Q needs an external protection diode
combined with a 50 Ω resistor to protect the video amplifier
against CRT flashover discharge.
An external 147 Ω carbon high-voltage resistor in
combination with a 2 kV spark gap between the cathode
and ground will limit the maximum clamp current (for this
resistor value, the CRT has to be connected to the main
printed-circuit board).
This external network causes an increase in the rise and
fall times and a decrease in the overshoot.
Pin 10 must be decoupled to pin 8:
• By a capacitor >100 nF with good HF behaviour (e.g.
foil). This capacitor must be placed as close as possible
to pins 10 and 8; definitely within 5 mm.
• By a capacitor >10 µF on the picture tube base
printed-circuit board (common for 3 output stages).
