Simulation

2:2:2 Resistor Simulation

  • Assumptions
    • 3.3V Drive out of FPGA
    • 1V is drive level for VGA specification
    • 8 mA max drive current (typical FPGA drive current)
  • VGA presents a 75 Ohm load
  • Series resistors present a voltage divider between the resistors on the card and the VGA load
  • 1V at 75 Ohms is 13.3 mA
  • Each color is independently driven
  • The resistor with the smallest resistance value has larger current from the FPGA pin
  • Current switches from source to sink depending on the voltages on the other resistors
  • Use common value, 1% resistors
  • 330 Ohm series resistor into a 75 Ohm load is 8.15 mA
    • Voltage with 330/75 ohm voltage divider is 0.61V - not full brightness
  • Each resistor is 2X the value of the previous resistor
  • Next standard value from 330 ohms is 680 ohms
    • Voltage is 0.83V - better brightness

ESP32 Drive

  • The ESP32 drive current is significantly more than an FPGA
    • 40 mA
    • More than enough to drive to 1V (saturation level on VGA).
  • 1V at 75 Ohms is 13.3 mA
  • 2:2:2 270/470 Ohm simulation
  • -10 mA (max)
  • 0.96V (max)
