2.3 Analog-to-Digital Converter
2.3.1 Pin Connection
The RGB signals are to be connected to the gmZAN1 chip as described in Table 8 and Table 9.
Table 8. Pin Connection for RGB Input with Hsync/Vsync
GmZAN1 Pin Name (Pin Number) CRT Signal Name
Red+(#95) Red
Red- (#94) N/A (Tie to Analog GND for Red on the board)
Green+(#91) Green
Green- (#90) N/A (Tie to Analog GND for Green on the board)
Blue+(#87) Blue
Blue- (#86) N/A (Tie to Analog GND for Blue on the board)
HSYNC/CS (#150) Horizontal Sync
VSYNC (#148) Vertical Sync
Table 9. Pin Connection for RGB Input with Composite Sync
GmZAN1 Pin Name (Pin Number) CRT Signal Name
Red+(#95) Red
Red- (#94) N/A (Tie to Analog GND for Red on the board)
Green+(#91) Green
When using Sync-On-Green this signal also carries the sync pulse.
Green- (#90) N/A (Tie to Analog GND for Green on the board)
Blue+(#87) Blue
Blue- (#86) N/A (Tie to Analog GND for Blue on the board)
HSYNC/CS (#150) Digital composite sync. Not applicable for Sync-On-Green
The gmZAN1 chip has three ADC’s (analog-to-digital converters), one for each color (red, green, and blue). Table 10
summarizes the characteristics of the ADC.

The gmZAN1 ADC has a built-in clamp circuit. By inserting series capacitors (about 10 nF) the DC offset of an
external video source can be removed. The clamp pulse position and width are programmable.
