Abstract

A vertical synchronous signal detection circuit includes an analog-digital converter, an average calculation circuit and a compare circuit. The analog-digital converter receives a composite video signal and converts the video signal into a digital signal having a vertical synchronizing pulse. The average calculation circuit is coupled to receive the digital signal. The average calculation circuit calculates an average level of the vertical synchronizing pulse within a predetermined period. The compare circuit is connected to the average calculation circuit. The compare circuit compares a threshold level received thereto with the average level and outputs a synchronous detect signal when the average level falls below the threshold level.
