Product details
Overview
TDA8145 from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic TV east-west pin-cushion correction IC for square CRT displays, implementing parabolic current generation, keystone adjustment, dynamic field correction input, static width control, and Class-D final stage with energy redelivery. It drives diode modulators in analog TV and monitor deflection circuits at 26 V supply with 7 mA typical supply current and 8.0 V internal reference.
For engineers reviewing the TDA8145 datasheet, TDA8145 pinout, TDA8145 application, or TDA8145 equivalent, this page provides verified functional context, absolute maximum ratings (35 V supply, 500 mA supply current), thermal resistance data (70 °C/W junction-to-pin), parabola coefficient values (K1 = 0.26, K2 = 0.70), and real-world circuit operation details including flyback parasitic suppression.
Technical Context
The TDA8145 integrates three core functional blocks: a differential amplifier (OP1) biased by vertical sawtooth current (±33 µA) and adjustable DC reference for keystone correction; a rectified parabola network generating parabolic output current; and a comparator (OP2) comparing that current against horizontal sawtooth voltage for pulse-width modulation.
Its Class-D push-pull final stage delivers up to 400 mA sink current (VSATL ≤ 2 V) and 100 mA source current (VSATH ≤ 1.5 V) to drive external inductors connected to diode modulators, while internal current limiting (40 µA max) suppresses parasitic parabola during vertical flyback.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 17–30 V - supports standard CRT deflection supply rails; absolute max 35 V prevents latch-up under transient overvoltage. |
| Internal Reference Voltage | 7.6–8.8 V - stable bias for keystone and width adjustment circuitry; typ. 8.0 V enables precise DC level setting. |
| Parabola Coefficient K1 | 0.26 - defines linear term of parabolic correction curve; sets baseline horizontal linearity across screen center. |
| Parabola Coefficient K2 | 0.70 - defines quadratic term; determines curvature strength for corner pin-cushion compensation. |
| Sink Saturation Voltage | ≤2 V @ 400 mA - ensures low-loss drive into diode modulator load during active scan period. |
| Source Saturation Voltage | ≤1.5 V @ 100 mA - maintains efficient Class-D switching in sourcing phase without excessive heat dissipation. |
| Thermal Resistance j-pin | Max 70 °C/W - enables reliable operation at Tamb = 50°C with 500 mW power dissipation limit. |

| 3 | CURRENT REFERENCE | 100 µA current sink; used for external current mirror or biasing; referenced to internal 8 V reference. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference for all internal amplifiers and comparators; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 5 | NON-INVERTING INPUT | Input to OP1 amplifier; connected to keystone-adjustable DC reference; forms error amplifier for vertical correction loop. |
| 6 | INVERTING INPUT | Inverting input to OP1; driven by frame sawtooth current; establishes differential input for parabola generation. |
| 7 | PARABOLA OUTPUT | Voltage output proportional to parabolic current; drives external resistor to generate correction waveform for diode modulator. |
| 8 | +VS | Positive supply rail (17–30 V); powers all internal stages including Class-D output driver and reference circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Class-D final stage with energy redelivery | Reduces power dissipation by recycling reactive energy from inductive load during switching transitions. |
| Parasitic parabola suppression | Internal 40 µA current limit activates during vertical flyback to eliminate unwanted curvature artifacts in retrace interval. |
| External keystone adjustment | Pin 1 accepts variable DC voltage to shift parabola symmetry point, correcting trapezoidal distortion on square CRTs. |
| Pulse-width modulated horizontal drive | Comparator OP2 generates PWM signal synchronized to horizontal frequency, enabling precise timing-controlled deflection modulation. |
| Static picture width control | DC level on horizontal sawtooth input adjusts duty cycle of PWM output, directly scaling horizontal scan amplitude. |
Applications

Use Value: Maintains geometric fidelity during extended operation; low 7 mA supply current minimizes thermal drift in sealed enclosures. | Use Scenario: CRT-based test fixtures verifying deflection yoke performance and diode modulator response. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supplies calibrated parabolic current (via Pin 7 + external R) and dynamic field correction input (Pin 2) to simulate beam current variations. Use Value: Allows controlled injection of field-dependent distortion to validate correction loop bandwidth and settling time. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CRT east-west correction applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDA8146 | Same pinout and function but includes integrated high-voltage protection diodes; higher VSATL (2.5 V). | Required in systems with unclamped yoke flyback spikes exceeding 35 V. | Select when operating near absolute max supply or in non-isolated deflection stages. |
| LA7838 | Dual-channel design; separate horizontal/vertical correction paths; no Class-D output stage (uses linear driver). | Supports simultaneous correction of both axes; higher quiescent current (12 mA) and thermal load. | Choose for applications requiring independent H/V geometry tuning without shared parabola network. |
Compared with TDA8145, TDA8146 adds robustness against voltage transients but sacrifices some efficiency, while LA7838 offers axis independence at the cost of increased power dissipation and board space-making TDA8145 optimal for cost-sensitive, single-axis square-CRT correction.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the 100 µA current sink on Pin 3?
Pin 3 provides a precision 100 µA current sink referenced to the internal 8 V bandgap voltage. It is intended for biasing external current mirrors or setting gain in feedback networks. Its accuracy supports stable parabola coefficient calibration and enables predictable interaction with external resistors in the keystone and width adjustment circuits.
Can the TDA8145 drive modern flat-panel display timing controllers?
No. The TDA8145 is functionally and electrically designed exclusively for analog CRT deflection systems. Its parabola generation, sawtooth current inputs, and Class-D output stage match the impedance and timing requirements of magnetic yoke and diode modulator networks-not digital video interfaces, LVDS, or MIPI signals used in LCD/OLED panels.
How does parasitic parabola suppression work during vertical flyback?
During vertical flyback, the frame sawtooth current exceeds ±40 µA. The internal current limiter clamps the input to OP1 at 40 µA, preventing the parabola network from generating erroneous curvature. This eliminates visible retrace-line distortion while maintaining clean active-scan correction, confirmed by ∆V7 = ±40 mV specification under overmodulation.
Is the TDA8145 compatible with 24 V or 28 V CRT power supplies?
Yes. Electrical characteristics are specified at VS = 26 V, with operational range 17–30 V and absolute maximum 35 V. At 24 V, supply current remains within 4.5–7 mA; at 28 V, thermal dissipation stays within 500 mW limit at Tamb ≤ 50°C, provided PCB copper area and airflow meet POWERDIP8 thermal resistance requirements (Rth(j-a) ≤ 100 °C/W).
