AD9883A
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9883A is a complete 8-bit, 140 MSPS, monolithic analog interface optimized for capturing RGB graphics signals from personal computers and workstations. Its 140 MSPS encode rate capability and full power analog bandwidth of 300 MHz supports resolutions up to SXGA (1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz). The AD9883A includes a 140 MHz triple ADC with internal 1.25 V reference, a PLL, and programmable gain, offset, and clamp control. The user provides only a 3.3 V power supply, analog input, and Hsync and COAST signals. Three-state CMOS outputs may be powered from 2.5 V to 3.3 V. The AD9883A's on-chip PLL generates a pixel clock from the Hsync input. Pixel clock output frequencies range from 12 MHz to
140 MHz. PLL clock jitter is 500 ps p-p typical at 140 MSPS. When the COAST signal is presented, the PLL maintains its output frequency in the absence of Hsync. A sampling phase adjustment is provided. Data, Hsync, and clock output phase relationships are maintained. The AD9883A also offers full sync processing for composite sync and sync-on-green applications. A clamp signal is generated internally or may be provided by the user through the CLAMP input pin. This interface is fully programmable via a 2-wire serial interface. Fabricated in an advanced CMOS process, the AD9883A is provided in a space-saving 80-lead LQFP surface-mount plastic package and is specified over the -40C to +85C temperature range.

Function
Horizontal Sync Output A reconstructed and phase-aligned version of the Hsync input. Both the polarity and duration of this output can be programmed via serial bus registers. By maintaining alignment with DATACK and Data, data timing with respect to horizontal sync can always be determined. Vertical Sync Output A reconstructed and phase-aligned version of the video Vsync. The polarity of this output can be controlled via a serial bus bit. The placement and duration in all modes is set by the graphics transmitter. Sync-On-Green Slicer Output This pin outputs either the signal from the Sync-on-Green slicer comparator or an unprocessed but delayed version of the Hsync input. See the Sync Processing Block Diagram (Figure 12) to view how this pin is connected. (Note: Besides slicing off SOG, the output from this pin gets no other additional processing on the AD9883A. Vsync separation is performed via the sync separator.)

DATA OUTPUTS RED Data Output, Red Channel GREEN Data Output, Green Channel BLUE Data Output, Blue Channel The main data outputs. Bit 7 is the MSB. The delay from pixel sampling time to output is fixed. When the sampling time is changed by adjusting the PHASE register, the output timing is shifted as well. The DATACK and HSOUT outputs are also moved, so the timing relationship among the signals is maintained. For exact timing information, refer to Figures 7, 8, and 9. DATA CLOCK OUTPUT DATACK Data Output Clock This is the main clock output signal used to strobe the output data and HSOUT into external logic. It is produced by the internal clock generator and is synchronous with the internal pixel sampling clock. When the sampling time is changed by adjusting the PHASE register, the output timing is shifted as well. The Data, DATACK, and HSOUT outputs are all moved, so the timing relationship among the signals is maintained. INPUTS RAIN GAIN BAIN Analog Input for Red Channel Analog Input for Green Channel Analog Input for Blue Channel High impedance inputs that accept the Red, Green, and Blue channel graphics signals, respectively. (The three channels are identical, and can be used for any colors, but colors are assigned for convenient reference.) They accommodate input signals ranging from 0.5 V to 1.0 V full scale. Signals should be ac-coupled to these pins to support clamp operation. Horizontal Sync Input This input receives a logic signal that establishes the horizontal timing reference and provides the frequency reference for pixel clock generation. The logic sense of this pin is controlled by serial register 0EH Bit 6 (Hsync Polarity). Only the leading edge of Hsync is active; the trailing edge is ignored. When Hsync Polarity = 0, the falling edge of Hsync is used. When Hsync Polarity = 1, the rising edge is active. The input includes a Schmitt trigger for noise immunity, with a nominal input threshold of 1.5 V. Vertical Sync Input This is the input for vertical sync. Sync-on-Green Input This input is provided to assist with processing signals with embedded sync, typically on the Green channel. The pin is connected to a high speed comparator with an internally generated threshold. The threshold level can be programmed in 10 mV steps to any voltage between 10 mV and 330 mV above the negative peak of the input signal. The default voltage threshold is 150 mV. When connected to an ac-coupled graphics signal with embedded sync, it will produce a noninverting digital output on SOGOUT. (This is usually a composite sync signal, containing both vertical and horizontal sync information that must be separated before passing the horizontal sync signal to Hsync.) When not used, this input should be left unconnected. For more details on this function and how it should be configured, refer to the Sync-on-Green section.

Pin Name
CLAMP
Function
External Clamp Input This logic input may be used to define the time during which the input signal is clamped to ground. It should be exercised when the reference dc level is known to be present on the analog input channels, typically during the back porch of the graphics signal. The CLAMP pin is enabled by setting control bit Clamp Function to 1, (register 0FH, Bit 7, default is 0). When disabled, this pin is ignored and the clamp timing is determined internally by counting a delay and duration from the trailing edge of the Hsync input. The logic sense of this pin is controlled by Clamp Polarity register 0FH, Bit 6. When not used, this pin must be grounded and Clamp Function programmed to 0. Clock Generator Coast Input (Optional) This input may be used to cause the pixel clock generator to stop synchronizing with Hsync and continue producing a clock at its current frequency and phase. This is useful when processing signals from sources that fail to produce horizontal sync pulses during the vertical interval. The COAST signal is generally not required for PC-generated signals. The logic sense of this pin is controlled by Coast Polarity (register 0FH, Bit 3). When not used, this pin may be grounded and Coast Polarity programmed to 1, or tied HIGH (to V D through a 10 k resistor) and Coast Polarity programmed to 0. Coast Polarity defaults to 1 at power-up.
COAST
REF BYPASS Internal Reference BYPASS Bypass for the internal 1.25 V band gap reference. It should be connected to ground through a 0.1 F capacitor. The absolute accuracy of this reference is 4%, and the temperature coefficient is 50 ppm, which is adequate for most AD9883A applications. If higher accuracy is required, an external reference may be employed instead. MIDSCV Midscale Voltage Reference BYPASS Bypass for the internal midscale voltage reference. It should be connected to ground through a 0.1 F capacitor. The exact voltage varies with the gain setting of the Blue channel. External Filter Connection For proper operation, the pixel clock generator PLL requires an external filter. Connect the filter shown in Figure 6 to this pin. For optimal performance, minimize noise and parasitics on this node.
FILT
POWER SUPPLY Main Power Supply VD These pins supply power to the main elements of the circuit. They should be filtered and as quiet as possible. VDD Digital Output Power Supply A large number of output pins (up to 25) switching at high speed (up to 110 MHz) generates a lot of power supply transients (noise). These supply pins are identified separately from the V D pins so special care can be taken to minimize output noise transferred into the sensitive analog circuitry. If the AD9883A is interfacing with lower voltage logic, V DD may be connected to a lower supply voltage (as low as 2.5 V) for compatibility. Clock Generator Power Supply The most sensitive portion of the AD9883A is the clock generation circuitry. These pins provide power to the clock PLL and help the user design for optimal performance. The designer should provide quiet, noise-free power to these pins. Ground The ground return for all circuitry on-chip. It is recommended that the AD9883A be assembled on a single solid ground plane, with careful attention given to ground current paths.

DESIGN GUIDE General Description
The AD9883A is a fully integrated solution for capturing analog RGB signals and digitizing them for display on flat panel monitors or projectors. The circuit is ideal for providing a computer interface for HDTV monitors or as the front end to high performance video scan converters. Implemented in a high performance CMOS process, the interface can capture signals with pixel rates up to 110 MHz. The AD9883A includes all necessary input buffering, signal dc restoration (clamping), offset and gain (brightness and contrast) adjustment, pixel clock generation, sampling phase control, and output data formatting. All controls are programmable via a 2-wire serial interface. Full integration of these sensitive analog functions makes system design straightforward and less sensitive to the physical and electrical environment. REV. B
With a typical power dissipation of only 500 mW and an operating temperature range of 0C to 70C, the device requires no special environmental considerations.
Digital Inputs
All digital inputs on the AD9883A operate to 3.3 V CMOS levels. However, all digital inputs are 5 V tolerant. Applying 5 V to them will not cause any damage.
Input Signal Handling
The AD9883A has three high impedance analog input pins for the Red, Green, and Blue channels. They will accommodate signals ranging from 0.5 V to 1.0 V p-p. Signals are typically brought onto the interface board via a DVI-I connector, a 15-pin D connector, or via BNC connectors. The AD9883A should be located as close as practical to the input connector. Signals should be routed via matched-impedance traces (normally 75 ) to the IC input pins. -9-
AD9883A
At that point the signal should be resistively terminated (75 to the signal ground return) and capacitively coupled to the AD9883A inputs through 47 nF capacitors. These capacitors form part of the dc restoration circuit. In an ideal world of perfectly matched impedances, the best performance can be obtained with the widest possible signal bandwidth. The ultrawide bandwidth inputs of the AD9883A (300 MHz) can track the input signal continuously as it moves from one pixel level to the next, and digitize the pixel during a long, flat pixel time. In many systems, however, there are mismatches, reflections, and noise, which can result in excessive ringing and distortion of the input waveform. This makes it more difficult to establish a sampling phase that provides good image quality. It has been shown that a small inductor in series with the input is effective in rolling off the input bandwidth slightly and providing a high quality signal over a wider range of conditions. Using a FairRite #2508051217Z0 High Speed Signal Chip Bead inductor in the circuit of Figure 1 gives good results in most applications.

input is present. The offset then remains in place when other signal levels are processed, and the entire signal is shifted to eliminate offset errors. In most PC graphics systems, black is transmitted between active video lines. With CRT displays, when the electron beam has completed writing a horizontal line on the screen (at the right side), the beam is deflected quickly to the left side of the screen (called horizontal retrace) and a black signal is provided to prevent the beam from disturbing the image. In systems with embedded sync, a blacker-than-black signal (Hsync) is produced briefly to signal the CRT that it is time to begin a retrace. For obvious reasons, it is important to avoid clamping on the tip of Hsync. Fortunately, there is virtually always a period following Hsync, called the back porch, where a good black reference is provided. This is the time when clamping should be done. The clamp timing can be established by simply exercising the CLAMP pin at the appropriate time (with External Clamp = 1). The polarity of this signal is set by the Clamp Polarity bit. A simpler method of clamp timing employs the AD9883A internal clamp timing generator. The Clamp Placement register is programmed with the number of pixel times that should pass after the trailing edge of HSYNC before clamping starts. A second register (Clamp Duration) sets the duration of the clamp. These are both 8-bit values, providing considerable flexibility in clamp generation. The clamp timing is referenced to the trailing edge of Hsync because, though Hsync duration can vary widely, the back porch (black reference) always follows Hsync. A good starting point for establishing clamping is to set the clamp placement to 09H (providing 9 pixel periods for the graphics signal to stabilize after sync) and set the clamp duration to 14H (giving the clamp 20 pixel periods to reestablish the black reference). Clamping is accomplished by placing an appropriate charge on the external input coupling capacitor. The value of this capacitor affects the performance of the clamp. If it is too small, there will be a significant amplitude change during a horizontal line time (between clamping intervals). If the capacitor is too large, then it will take excessively long for the clamp to recover from a large change in incoming signal offset. The recommended value (47 nF) results in recovering from a step error of 100 mV to within 1/2 LSB in 10 lines with a clamp duration of 20 pixel periods on a 60 Hz SXGA signal.
YUV Clamping
Figure 1. Analog Input Interface Circuit
Hsync, Vsync Inputs
The interface also takes a horizontal sync signal, which is used to generate the pixel clock and clamp timing. This can be either a sync signal directly from the graphics source, or a preprocessed TTL or CMOS level signal. The Hsync input includes a Schmitt trigger buffer for immunity to noise and signals with long rise times. In typical PC based graphic systems, the sync signals are simply TTL-level drivers feeding unshielded wires in the monitor cable. As such, no termination is required.
Serial Control Port
The serial control port is designed for 3.3 V logic. If there are 5 V drivers on the bus, these pins should be protected with 150 series resistors placed between the pull-up resistors and the input pins.
Output Signal Handling
The digital outputs are designed and specified to operate from a 3.3 V power supply (VDD). They can also work with a VDD as low as 2.5 V for compatibility with other 2.5 V logic.
Clamping RGB Clamping
To properly digitize the incoming signal, the dc offset of the input must be adjusted to fit the range of the on-board A/D converters. Most graphics systems produce RGB signals with black at ground and white at approximately 0.75 V. However, if sync signals are embedded in the graphics, the sync tip is often at ground and black is at 300 mV. Then white is at approximately 1.0 V. Some common RGB line amplifier boxes use emitter-follower buffers to split signals and increase drive capability. This introduces a 700 mV dc offset to the signal, which must be removed for proper capture by the AD9883A. The key to clamping is to identify a portion (time) of the signal when the graphic system is known to be producing black. An offset is then introduced which results in the A/D converters producing a black output (code 00h) when the known black
YUV graphic signals are slightly different from RGB signals in that the dc reference level (black level in RGB signals) can be at the midpoint of the graphics signal rather than at the bottom. For these signals, it can be necessary to clamp to the midscale range of the A/D converter range (80H) rather than at the bottom of the A/D converter range (00H). Clamping to midscale rather than to ground can be accomplished by setting the clamp select bits in the serial bus register. Each of the three converters has its own selection bit so that they can be clamped to either midscale or ground independently. These bits are located in register 10H and are Bits 0-2. The midscale reference voltage that each A/D converter clamps to is provided on the MIDSCV pin, (Pin 37). This pin should be bypassed to ground with a 0.1 F capacitor, (even if midscale clamping is not required).

Clock Generation
OFFSET = 00H
0.5 OFFSET = 7FH
A phase locked loop (PLL) is employed to generate the pixel clock. In this PLL, the Hsync input provides a reference frequency. A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) generates a much higher pixel clock frequency. This pixel clock is divided by the PLL divide value (registers 01H and 02H) and phase compared with the Hsync input. Any error is used to shift the VCO frequency and maintain lock between the two signals. The stability of this clock is a very important element in providing the clearest and most stable image. During each pixel time, there is a period during which the signal is slewing from the old pixel amplitude and settling at its new value. Then there is a time when the input voltage is stable, before the signal must slew to a new value (Figure 4). The ratio of the slewing time to the stable time is a function of the bandwidth of the graphics DAC and the bandwidth of the transmission system (cable and termination). It is also a function of the overall pixel rate. Clearly, if the dynamic characteristics of the system remain fixed, the slewing and settling time is likewise fixed. This time must be subtracted from the total pixel period, leaving the stable period. At higher pixel frequencies, the total cycle time is shorter, and the stable pixel time becomes shorter as well.

Gain and Offset Control
The AD9883A can accommodate input signals with inputs ranging from 0.5 V to 1.0 V full scale. The full-scale range is set in three 8-bit registers (Red Gain, Green Gain, and Blue Gain). Note that increasing the gain setting results in an image with less contrast. The offset control shifts the entire input range, resulting in a change in image brightness. Three 7-bit registers (Red Offset, Green Offset, Blue Offset) provide independent settings for each channel. The offset controls provide a 63 LSB adjustment range. This range is connected with the full-scale range, so if the input range is doubled (from 0.5 V to 1.0 V) then the offset step size is also doubled (from 2 mV per step to 4 mV per step). Figure 2 illustrates the interaction of gain and offset controls. The magnitude of an LSB in offset adjustment is proportional to the full-scale range, so changing the full-scale range also changes the offset. The change is minimal if the offset setting is near midscale. When changing the offset, the full-scale range is not affected, but the full-scale level is shifted by the same amount as the zero scale level.
Sync-on-Green
Figure 4. Pixel Sampling Times
Any jitter in the clock reduces the precision with which the sampling time can be determined, and must also be subtracted from the stable pixel time. Considerable care has been taken in the design of the AD9883A's clock generation circuit to minimize jitter. As indicated in Figure 5, the clock jitter of the AD9883A is less than 5% of the total pixel time in all operating modes, making the reduction in the valid sampling time due to jitter negligible.

The Sync-on-Green input operates in two steps. First, it sets a baseline clamp level off of the incoming video signal with a negative peak detector. Second, it sets the sync trigger level to a programmable level (typically 150 mV) above the negative peak. The Sync-on-Green input must be ac-coupled to the Green analog input through its own capacitor, as shown in Figure 3. The value of the capacitor must be 1 nF 20%. If Sync-on-Green is not used, this connection is not required. Note that the Syncon-Green signal is always negative polarity.

4. The 5-Bit Phase Adjust Register. The phase of the generated sampling clock may be shifted to locate an optimum sampling point within a clock cycle. The Phase Adjust Register provides 32 phase-shift steps of 11.25 each. The Hsync signal with an identical phase shift is available through the HSOUT pin. The COAST pin is used to allow the PLL to continue to run at the same frequency, in the absence of the incoming Hsync signal or during disturbances in Hsync (such as equalization pulses). This may be used during the vertical sync period, or any other time that the Hsync signal is unavailable. The polarity of the COAST signal may be set through the Coast Polarity Register. Also, the polarity of the Hsync signal may be set through the Hsync Polarity Register. If not using automatic polarity detection, the Hsync and COAST Polarity bits should be set to match the respective polarities of the input signals.

Four programmable registers are provided to optimize the performance of the PLL. These registers are: 1. The 12-Bit Divisor Register. The input Hsync frequencies range from 15 kHz to 110 kHz. The PLL multiplies the frequency of the Hsync signal, producing pixel clock frequencies in the range of 12 MHz to 110 MHz. The Divisor Register controls the exact multiplication factor. This register may be set to any value between 221 and 4095. (The divide ratio that is actually used is the programmed divide ratio plus one.) 2. The 2-Bit VCO Range Register. To improve the noise performance of the AD9883A, the VCO operating frequency range is divided into three overlapping regions. The VCO Range Register sets this operating range. The frequency ranges for the lowest and highest regions are shown in Table II.
Table II. VCO Frequency Ranges
The AD9883A uses the activity detect circuits, the active interface bits in the serial bus, the active interface override bits, and the power-down bit to determine the correct power state. There are three power states, full-power, seek mode, and power-down. Table IV summarizes how the AD9883A determines what power mode to be in and which circuitry is powered on/off in each of these modes. The power-down command has priority over the automatic circuitry.

Timing
The following timing diagrams show the operation of the AD9883A. The output data clock signal is created so that its rising edge always occurs between data transitions, and can be used to latch the output data externally. There is a pipeline in the AD9883A, which must be flushed before valid data becomes available. This means four data sets are presented before valid data is available.
t PER t CYCLE
DATACK
Three things happen to Horizontal Sync in the AD9883A. First, the polarity of Hsync input is determined and will thus have a known output polarity. The known output polarity can be programmed either active high or active low (register 0EH, Bit 5). Second, HSOUT is aligned with DATACK and data outputs. Third, the duration of HSOUT (in pixel clocks) is set via register 07H. HSOUT is the sync signal that should be used to drive the rest of the display system.
Coast Timing
In most computer systems, the Hsync signal is provided continuously on a dedicated wire. In these systems, the COAST input and function are unnecessary, and should not be used and the pin should be permanently connected to the inactive state. In some systems, however, Hsync is disturbed during the Vertical Sync period (Vsync). In some cases, Hsync pulses disappear. In other systems, such as those that employ Composite Sync (Csync) signals or embedded Sync-on-Green (SOG), Hsync includes equalization pulses or other distortions during Vsync. To avoid upsetting the clock generator during Vsync, it is important to ignore these distortions. If the pixel clock PLL sees extraneous pulses, it will attempt to lock to this new frequency, and will have changed frequency by the end of the Vsync period. It will then take a few lines of correct Hsync timing to recover at the beginning of a new frame, resulting in a "tearing" of the image at the top of the display. The COAST input is provided to eliminate this problem. It is an asynchronous input that disables the PLL input and allows the clock to free-run at its then-current frequency. The PLL can free-run for several lines without significant frequency drift.

Hsync Timing
Horizontal Sync (Hsync) is processed in the AD9883A to eliminate ambiguity in the timing of the leading edge with respect to the phase-delayed pixel clock and data. The Hsync input is used as a reference to generate the pixel sampling clock. The sampling phase can be adjusted, with respect to Hsync, through a full 360 in 32 steps via the Phase Adjust Register (to optimize the pixel sampling time). Display systems use Hsync to align memory and display write cycles, so it is important to have a stable timing relationship between Hsync output (HSOUT) and data clock (DATACK).

PLL DIVIDER CONTROL 01 7-0 PLL Divide Ratio MSBs
Two bits that establish the operating range of the clock generator. VCORNGE must be set to correspond with the desired operating frequency (incoming pixel rate). The PLL gives the best jitter performance at high frequencies. For this reason, to output low pixel rates and still get good jitter performance, the PLL actually operates at a higher frequency but then divides down the clock rate afterwards. Table VII shows the pixel rates for each VCO range setting. The PLL output divisor is automatically selected with the VCO range setting.
Table VII. VCO Ranges
The 8 most significant bits of the 12-bit PLL divide ratio PLLDIV. (The operational divide ratio is PLLDIV + 1.) The PLL derives a master clock from an incoming Hsync signal. The master clock frequency is then divided by an integer value, such that the output is phase-locked to Hsync. This PLLDIV value determines the number of pixel times (pixels plus horizontal blanking overhead) per line. This is typically 20% to 30% more than the number of active pixels in the display. The 12-bit value of the PLL divider supports divide ratios from 2 to 4095. The higher the value loaded in this register, the higher the resulting clock frequency with respect to a fixed Hsync frequency. VESA has established some standard timing specifications that assist in determining the value for PLLDIV as a function of horizontal and vertical display resolution and frame rate (Table V). However, many computer systems do not conform precisely to the recommendations, and these numbers should be used only as a guide. The display system manufacturer should provide automatic or manual means for optimizing PLLDIV. An incorrectly set PLLDIV will usually produce one or more vertical noise bars on the display. The greater the error, the greater the number of bars produced. The power-up default value of PLLDIV is 1693 (PLLDIVM = 69H, PLLDIVL = DxH). The AD9883A updates the full divide ratio only when the LSBs are changed. Writing to the MSB by itself will not trigger an update.

When Clamp Function (Register 0FH, Bit 7) = 0, a clamp signal is generated internally, at a position established by the clamp placement and for a duration set by the clamp duration. Clamping is started (Clamp Placement) pixel periods after the trailing edge of Hsync. The clamp placement may be programmed to any value between 1 and 255. The clamp should be placed during a time that the input signal presents a stable black-level reference, usually the back porch period between Hsync and the image. When Clamp Function = 1, this register is ignored.
06 7-0 Clamp Duration
A 7-bit offset binary word that sets the dc offset of the Red channel. One LSB of offset adjustment equals approximately one LSB change in the ADC offset. Therefore, the absolute magnitude of the offset adjustment scales as the gain of the channel is changed. A nominal setting of 63 results in the channel nominally clamping the back porch (during the clamping interval) to Code 00. An offset setting of 127 results in the channel clamping to Code 64 of the ADC. An offset setting of 0 clamps to Code -63 (off the bottom of the range). Increasing the value of Red Offset decreases the brightness of the channel.
0C 7-1 Green Channel Offset Adjust
A 7-bit offset binary word that sets the dc offset of the Green channel. See REDOFST (0B).
0D 7-1 Blue Channel Offset Adjust
A 7-bit offset binary word that sets the dc offset of the Green channel. See REDOFST (0B).
MODE CONTROL 1 0E 7 Hsync Input Polarity Override
An 8-bit register that sets the duration of the internally generated clamp. For the best results, the clamp duration should be set to include the majority of the black reference signal time that follows the Hsync signal trailing edge. Insufficient clamping time can produce brightness changes at the top of the screen, and a slow recovery from large changes in the average picture level (APL), or brightness. When Clamp Function = 1, this register is ignored.

An 8-bit register that sets the duration of the Hsync output pulse. The leading edge of the Hsync output is triggered by the internally generated, phase-adjusted PLL feedback clock. The AD9883A then counts a number of pixel clocks equal to the value in this register. This triggers the trailing edge of the Hsync output, which is also phase adjusted.

Function Active Low Active High
An 8-bit word that sets the gain of the Red channel. The AD9883A can accommodate input signals with a full-scale range of between 0.5 V and 1.0 V p-p. Setting REDGAIN to 255 corresponds to a 1.0 V input range. A REDGAIN of 0 establishes a 0.5 V input range. Note that increasing REDGAIN results in the picture having less contrast (the input signal uses fewer of the available converter codes). See Figure 2.
09 7-0 Green Channel Gain Adjust
Active Low means the leading edge of the Hsync pulse is negative going. All timing is based on the leading edge of Hsync, which is the falling edge. The rising edge has no effect. Active high is inverted from the traditional Hsync, with a positive-going pulse. This means that timing will be based on the leading edge of Hsync, which is now the rising edge. The device will operate if this bit is set incorrectly, but the internally generated clamp position, as established by Clamp Placement (Register 05H), will not be placed as expected, which may generate clamping errors. The power-up default value is HSPOL = 1.

Table XXXV. 4:2:2 Output Mode Select
When the serial interface is inactive (SCL and SDA are high) communications are initiated by sending a start signal. The start signal is a high-to-low transition on SDA while SCL is high. This signal alerts all slaved devices that a data transfer sequence is coming. The first eight bits of data transferred after a start signal comprise a 7-bit slave address (the first seven bits) and a single R/W Bit (the eighth bit). The R/W Bit indicates the direction of data transfer, read from (1) or write to (0) the slave device. If the transmitted slave address matches the address of the device (set by the state of the SA1-0 input pins in Table XXXIV, the AD9883A acknowledges by bringing SDA low on the ninth SCL pulse. If the addresses do not match, the AD9883A does not acknowledge.

Data Transfer via Serial Interface
For each byte of data read or written, the MSB is the first bit of the sequence. If the AD9883A does not acknowledge the master device during a write sequence, the SDA remains high so the master can generate a stop signal. If the master device does not acknowledge the AD9883A during a read sequence, the AD9883A interprets this as "end of data." The SDA remains high so the master can generate a stop signal. Writing data to specific control registers of the AD9883A requires that the 8-bit address of the control register of interest be written after the slave address has been established. This control register address is the base address for subsequent write operations. The base address autoincrements by one for each byte of data written after the data byte intended for the base address. If more bytes are transferred than there are available addresses, the address will not increment and remains at its maximum value of 14H. Any base address higher than 14H will not produce an acknowledge signal.
2-WIRE SERIAL CONTROL PORT
A 2-wire serial interface control interface is provided. Up to two AD9883A devices may be connected to the 2-wire serial interface, with each device having a unique address. The 2-wire serial interface comprises a clock (SCL) and a bidirectional data (SDA) pin. The analog flat panel interface acts as a slave for receiving and transmitting data over the serial interface. When the serial interface is not active, the logic levels on SCL and SDA are pulled high by external pull-up resistors. Data received or transmitted on the SDA line must be stable for the duration of the positive-going SCL pulse. Data on SDA must change only when SCL is low. If SDA changes state while SCL is high, the serial interface interprets that action as a start or stop sequence.

AD9883A
Data is read from the control registers of the AD9883A in a similar manner. Reading requires two data transfer operations: The base address must be written with the R/W Bit of the slave address byte low to set up a sequential read operation. Reading (the R/W Bit of the slave address byte high) begins at the previously established base address. The address of the read register autoincrements after each byte is transferred. To terminate a read/write sequence to the AD9883A, a stop signal must be sent. A stop signal comprises a low-to-high transition of SDA while SCL is high. A repeated start signal occurs when the master device driving the serial interface generates a start signal without first generating a stop signal to terminate the current communication. This is used to change the mode of communication (read, write) between the slave and master without releasing the serial interface lines.

Using the following layout techniques on the graphics inputs is extremely important. Minimize the trace length running into the graphics inputs. This is accomplished by placing the AD9883A as close as possible to the graphics VGA connector. Long input trace lengths are undesirable because they pick up more noise from the board and other external sources. Place the 75 termination resistors (see Figure 1) as close to the AD9883A chip as possible. Any additional trace length between the termination resistors and the input of the AD9883A increases the magnitude of reflections, which will corrupt the graphics signal. Use 75 matched impedance traces. Trace impedances other than 75 will also increase the chance of reflections. The AD9883A has very high input bandwidth (500 MHz). While this is desirable for acquiring a high resolution PC graphics signal with fast edges, it means that it will also capture any high frequency noise present. Therefore, it is important to reduce the amount of noise that gets coupled to the inputs. Avoid running any digital traces near the analog inputs. Due to the high bandwidth of the AD9883A, low-pass filtering the analog inputs can sometimes help to reduce noise. (For many applications, filtering is unnecessary.) Experiments have shown that placing a series ferrite bead prior to the 75 termination resistor is helpful in filtering out excess noise. Specifically, the part used was the #2508051217Z0 from Fair-Rite, but each application may work best with a different bead value. Alternately, placing a 100 to 120 resistor between the 75 termination resistor and the input coupling capacitor can also be beneficial.
Power Supply Bypassing
Sync Slicer
The purpose of the sync slicer is to extract the sync signal from the Green graphics channel. A sync signal is not present on all graphics systems, only those with Sync-on-Green. The sync signal is extracted from the Green channel in a two-step process. First, the SOG input is clamped to its negative peak (typically 0.3 V below the black level). Next, the signal goes to a comparator with a variable trigger level, nominally 0.15 V above the clamped level. The "sliced" sync is typically a composite sync signal containing both Hsync and Vsync.
Sync Separator
A sync separator extracts the Vsync signal from a composite sync signal. It does this through a low-pass filter-like or integrator-like operation. It works on the idea that the Vsync signal stays active for a much longer time than the Hsync signal, so it rejects any signal shorter than a threshold value, which is somewhere between an Hsync pulsewidth and a Vsync pulsewidth. The sync separator on the AD9883A is simply an 8-bit digital counter with a 5 MHz clock. It works independently of the polarity of the composite sync signal. (Polarities are determined elsewhere on the chip.) The basic idea is that the counter counts up when Hsync pulses are present. But since Hsync pulses are relatively short in width, the counter only reaches a value of N before the pulse ends. It then starts counting down eventually reaching 0 before the next Hsync pulse arrives. The specific value of N will vary for different video modes, but will always be less than 255. For example with a 1 s width Hsync, the counter will only reach 5 (1 s/200 ns = 5). Now, when Vsync is present on the composite sync the counter will also count up. However, since the Vsync signal is much longer, it will count to a higher number M. For most video modes, M will be at least 255. So, Vsync can be detected on the composite sync signal by detecting when the counter counts to higher than N. The specific count that triggers detection (T) can be programmed through the serial register (11H). Once Vsync has been detected, there is a similar process to detect when it goes inactive. At detection, the counter first resets to 0, then starts counting up when Vsync goes away. Similar to the previous case, it will detect the absence of Vsync when the counter reaches the threshold count (T). In this way, it will reject noise and/or serration pulses. Once Vsync is detected to be absent, the counter resets to 0 and begins the cycle again.
PCB LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended to bypass each power supply pin with a 0.1 F capacitor. The exception is when two or more supply pins are adjacent to each other. For these groupings of powers/ grounds, it is necessary to have only one bypass capacitor. The fundamental idea is to have a bypass capacitor within about 0.5 cm of each power pin. Also, avoid placing the capacitor on the opposite side of the PC board from the AD9883A, as that interposes resistive vias in the path. The bypass capacitors should be physically located between the power plane and the power pin. Current should flow from the power plane to the capacitor to the power pin. Do not make the power connection between the capacitor and the power pin. Placing a via underneath the capacitor pads, down to the power plane, is generally the best approach. It is particularly important to maintain low noise and good stability of PVD (the clock generator supply). Abrupt changes in PVD can result in similarly abrupt changes in sampling clock phase and frequency. This can be avoided by careful attention to regulation, filtering, and bypassing. It is highly desirable to provide separate regulated supplies for each of the analog circuitry groups (VD and PVD). Some graphic controllers use substantially different levels of power when active (during active picture time) and when idle (during horizontal and vertical sync periods). This can result in a measurable change in the voltage supplied to the analog supply regulator, which can in turn produce changes in the regulated analog supply voltage. This can be mitigated by regulating the analog supply, or at least PVD, from a different, cleaner power source (for example, from a 12 V supply).
The AD9883A is a high precision, high speed analog device. As such, to get the maximum performance out of the part, it is important to have a well laid out board. The following is a guide for designing a board using the AD9883A.

AD9883A
It is also recommended to use a single ground plane for the entire board. Experience has repeatedly shown that the noise performance is the same or better with a single ground plane. Using multiple ground planes can be detrimental because each separate ground plane is smaller, and long ground loops can result. In some cases, using separate ground planes is unavoidable. For those cases, it is recommended to at least place a single ground plane under the AD9883A. The location of the split should be at the receiver of the digital outputs. For this case it is even more important to place components wisely because the current loops will be much longer (current takes the path of least resistance). An example of a current loop:
NE PLA ND OU GR
POWER PLANE
Outputs (Both Data and Clocks)
Try to minimize the trace length that the digital outputs have to drive. Longer traces have higher capacitance, which requires more current, which causes more internal digital noise. Shorter traces reduce the possibility of reflections. Adding a series resistor of value 22 to 100 can suppress reflections, reduce EMI, and reduce the current spikes inside of the AD9883A. However, if 50 traces are used on the PCB, the data outputs should not need resistors. A 22 resistor on the DATACK output should provide good impedance matching that will reduce reflections. If series resistors are used, place them as close to the AD9883A pins as possible (although try not to add vias or extra length to the output trace in order to get the resistors closer). If possible, limit the capacitance that each of the digital outputs drives to less than 10 pF. This can easily be accomplished by keeping traces short and by connecting the outputs to only one device. Loading the outputs with excessive capacitance will increase the current transients inside of the AD9883A, creating more digital noise on its power supplies.

The digital inputs on the AD9883A were designed to work with 3.3 V signals, but are tolerant of 5.0 V signals. Therefore, no extra components need to be added if using 5.0 V logic.
