GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD9980 is a complete, 8-bit, 95 MSPS, monolithic analog interface optimized for capturing YPbPr video and RGB graphics signals. Its 95 MSPS encode rate capability and fullpower analog bandwidth of 200 MHz supports all HDTV video modes and graphics resolutions up to XGA (1024 × 768 at 85 Hz).

The AD9980 includes a 95 MHz triple ADC with an internal reference, a phase-locked loop (PLL), programmable gain, offset, and clamp controls. The user provides only 3.3 V and

1.8 V power supplies and an analog input. Three-state CMOS outputs may be powered from 1.8 V to 3.3 V.

The AD9980’s on-chip PLL generates a sample clock from the three-level sync (for YPbPr video) or the horizontal sync (for RGB graphics). Sample clock output frequencies range from 10 MHz to 95 MHz. PLL clock jitter is 9% or less p-p typical at 95 MSPS.

Specifications subject to change without notice. No license is granted by implication or otherwise under any patent or patent rights of Analog Devices. Trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

With internal Coast generation, the PLL maintains its output frequency in the absence of sync input. A 32-step sampling clock phase adjustment is provided. O utput dat a, sync, and clock phase relationships are maintained.

The auto-offset feature can be enabled to automatically restore the signal reference levels and to automatically calibrate out any offset differences between the three channels. The AD9980 also offers full sync processing for composite sync and sync-ongreen applications. A clamp signal is generated internally or may be provided by the user through the CLAMP input pin.

Fabricated in an advanced CMOS process, the AD9980 is provided in a space-saving, 80-pin, Pb-free, LQFP surface mount plastic package. It is specified over the 0°C to +70°C temperature range.

Analog Input for the Blue Channel 1. 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 Channel 1. These inputs receive a logic signal that establishes the horizontal timing reference and provides the frequency reference for pixel clock generation. The logic sense of this pin can be automatically determined by the chip or manually controlled by Serial Register 0x12, Bits [5:4] (Hsync polarity). Only the leading edge of Hsync is used by the PLL; the trailing edge is used in clamp timing. 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.

Vertical Sync Input Channel 1. These are the inputs for vertical sync and provide timing information for generation of the field (odd/even) and internal Coast generation. The logic sense of this pin can be automatically determined by the chip or manually controlled by Serial Register 0x14, Bits [5:4] (Vsync polarity).

Sync-on-Green Input Channel 1. These inputs are 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 8 mV steps to any voltage between 8 mV and 256 mV above the negative peak of the input signal. The default voltage threshold is 128 mV. When connected to an ac-coupled graphics signal with embedded sync, it produces 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 for Hsync processing.) 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-onGreen section.

External Clamp Input (Optional). This logic input may be used to define the time during which the input signal is clamped to ground or midscale. 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 the control bit clamp function to 1, (Register 0x18, Bit 4; 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 can be automatically determined by the chip or controlled by clamp polarity Register 0x1B, Bits [7:6]. When not used, this pin may be left unconnected (there is an internal pull-down resistor) and the clamp function programmed to 0.

Coast Input to Clock Generator (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 Hsync pulses during the vertical interval. The Coast signal is generally not required for PC-generated signals. The logic sense of this pin can be determined automatically or controlled by Coast polarity (Register 0x18, Bits [7:6]). When not used and EXTCLK is not used, this pin may be grounded and Coast polarity programmed to 1. Input Coast polarity defaults to1 at power-up. This pin is shared with the EXTCLK function, which does not affect Coast functionality. For more details on EXTCLK, see the description in this section.

External Clock. This allows the insertion of an external clock source rather than the internally generated, PLL locked clock. EXTCLK is enabled by programming Register 0x03, Bit 2 to 1. This pin is shared with the Coast function, which does not affect EXTCLK functionality. For more details on Coast, see the description in this section.

Power-Down Control. This pin can be used along with Register 0x1E, Bit 3 for manual power-down control. If manual power-down control is selected (Register 0x1E, Bit 4) and this pin is not used, it is recommended to set the pin polarity (Register 0x1E, Bit 2) to active high and hardwire this pin to ground with a 10 kΩ resistor.

Input Amplifier Reference. REFLO and REFHI are connected together through a 10 µF capacitor; REFCM is connected through a 10 µF capacitor to ground. These are used for stability in the input PGA (programmable gain amplifier) circuitry. See Figure 5.

External Filter Connection. For proper operation, the pixel clock generator PLL requires an external filter. Connect the filter shown in Figure 7 to this pin. For optimal performance, minimize noise and parasitics on this node. For more information see the PCB Layout Recommendations section.

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 Outputs, data timing with respect to Hsync can always be determined.

Vertical Sync Output. Pin shared with A0, serial port address. This can be either a separated Vsync from a composite signal or a direct pass through of the Vsync signal. The polarity of this output can be controlled via a serial bus bit. The placement and duration in all modes can be set by the graphics transmitter or the duration can be set by Register 0x14 and Register 0x15. This pin is shared with the A0 function, which does not affect Vsync output functionality. For more details on A0, see the description in the Serial Control Port section.

Sync-On-Green Slicer Output. This pin outputs one of four possible signals (controlled by Register 0x1D, Bits [1:0]): raw SOG, raw Hsync, regenerated Hsync from the filter, or the filtered Hsync. See the sync processing block diagram (Figure 8) to view how this pin is connected. (Besides slicing off SOG, the output from this pin gets no other additional processing on the AD9980. Vsync separation is performed via the sync separator.)

Odd/Even Field Bit for Interlaced Video. This output will identify whether the current field (in an interlaced signal) is odd or even.

Serial Port Address Input 0. Pin shared with VSOUT. This pin selects the LSB of the serial port device address, allowing two Analog Devices parts to be on the same serial bus. A high impedance external pull-up resistor enables this pin to be read at power-up as 1, or a high impedance, external pull-down resistor enables this pin to be read at power-up as a 0 and not interfere with the VSOUT functionality. For more details on VSOUT, see the Outputs section in this table.

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.

Data Clock Output. This is the main clock output signal used to strobe the output data and HSOUT into external logic. Four possible output clocks can be selected with Register 0x20, Bits [7:6]. Three of these are related to the pixel clock (pixel clock, 90° phase-shifted pixel clock, and 2× frequency pixel clock). They are produced either by the internal PLL clock generator or EXTCLK and are synchronous with the pixel sampling clock. The fourth option for the data clock output is an internally generated 40 MHz clock. The sampling time of the internal pixel clock can be changed by adjusting the phase register (Register 0x04). When this is changed, the pixel related DATACK timing is also shifted. The Data, DATACK, and HSOUT outputs are all moved so that the timing relationship among the signals is maintained.

Main Power Supply. These pins supply power to the main elements of the circuit. They should be as quiet and filtered as possible.

Digital Output Power Supply. A large number of output pins (up to 29) switching at high speed (up to 95 MHz) generate a lot of power supply transients (noise). These supply pins are identified separately from the V

pins, so

special care can be taken to minimize output noise transferred into the sensitive analog circuitry. If the AD9980 is interfacing with lower voltage logic, V

may be connected to a lower supply voltage (as low as 1.8 V) for

compatibility. Clock Generator Power Supply. The most sensitive portion of the AD9980 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 AD9980 be assembled on a single solid ground plane, with careful attention to ground current paths.

AD9980

DESIGN GUIDE

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD9980 is a fully integrated solution for capturing analog RGB or YPbPr signals and digitizing them for display on advanced TVs, flat panel monitors, projectors, and other types of digital displays. Implemented in a high-performance CMOS process, the interface can capture signals with pixel rates of up to 95 MHz.

The AD9980 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

two-wire serial interface (I sensitive analog functions makes system design straightforward and less sensitive to the physical and electrical environment.

With a typical power dissipation of less than 900 mW and an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, the device requires no special environmental considerations.

DIGITAL INPUTS

All digital inputs on the AD9980 operate to 3.3 V CMOS levels. The following digital inputs are 5 V tolerant (Applying 5 V to them does not cause any damage): HSYNC0, HSYNC1, VSYNC0, VSYNC1, SOGIN0, SOGIN1, SDA, SCL and CLAMP.

INPUT SIGNAL HANDLING

The AD9980 has six high-impedance analog input pins for the red, green, and blue channels. They accommodate signals ranging from 0.5 V to 1.0 V p-p.

C®). Full integration of these

slightly and providing a high quality signal over a wider range of conditions. Using a Fair-Rite #2508051217Z0 high speed, signal chip bead inductor in the circuit shown in Figure 3 gives good results in most applications.

HSYNC AND VSYNC INPUTS

The interface also accepts Hsync and vertical sync period (Vsync) signals, which are used to generate the pixel clock, clamp timing, Coast and field information. These 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; however, it is tolerant of 5 V logic signals.

OUTPUT SIGNAL HANDLING

The digital outputs are designed to operate from 1.8 V to

3.3 V (V

Signals are typically brought onto the interface board with a DVI-I connector, a 15-pin D connector, or RCA connectors. The AD9980 should be located as close as possible to the input connector. Signals should be routed using matched-impedance traces (normally 75 Ω) to the IC input pins.

At the input pins the signal should be resistively terminated (75 Ω to the signal ground return) and capacitively coupled to the AD9980 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 wide bandwidth inputs of the AD9980 (200 MHz) can continuously track the input signal as it moves from one pixel level to the next and can 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

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 ADCs.

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 emitterfollower 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 AD9980.

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 that results in the ADCs producing a black output (Code 0x00) when the known black 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.

AD9980

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.

Clamping to midscale rather than 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 independently clamped to either midscale or ground. These bits are located in Register 0x18, Bits [3:1]. The midscale reference voltage is internally generated for each converter.

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. Because the input is not at black level at this time, it is important to avoid clamping during 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 clamp source (Register 0x18, Bit 4) = 1. The polarity of this signal is set by the clamp polarity bit (Register 0x1B, Bits [7:6]).

A simpler method of clamp timing uses the AD9980’s internal clamp timing generator. The clamp placement register (Register 0x19) is programmed with the number of pixel periods that should pass after the trailing edge of Hsync before clamping starts. A second register, clamp duration, (Register 0x1A) 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 0x04 (providing 4 pixel periods for the graphics signal to stabilize after sync) and set the clamp duration to 0x28 (giving the clamp 40 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 ½ LSB in 20 lines with a clamp duration of 20 pixel periods on a 85 Hz XGA signal.

YPbPr Clamping

YPbPr graphic signals are slightly different from RGB signals in that the dc reference level (black level in RGB signals) for the color difference signals is at the midpoint of the video signal rather than at the bottom. The three inputs are composed of luminance (Y) and color difference (Pb and Pr) signals. For the color difference signals it is necessary to clamp to the midscale range of the ADC range (128) rather than at the bottom of the ADC range (0) while the Y channel is clamped to ground.

GAIN AND OFFSET CONTROL

The AD9980 contains three PGAs, one for each of the three analog inputs. The range of the PGA is sufficient to accommodate input signals with inputs ranging from 0.5 V to 1.0 V full scale. The gain is set in three 7-bit registers (red gain [0x05], green gain [0x07], blue gain [0x09]). For each register, a gain setting of 0 corresponds to the highest gain, while a gain setting of 127 corresponds to the lowest gain. Note that increasing the gain setting results in an image with less contrast.

The offset control shifts the analog input, resulting in a change in brightness. Three 9-bit registers (red offset [0x0B, 0x0C], green offset [0x0D, 0x0E], blue offset [0x0F, 0x10]) provide independent settings for each channel. The function of the offset register depends on whether auto-offset is enabled (Register 0x1B, Bit 5).

If manual offset is used, seven bits of the offset registers (for the red channel Register 0x0B, Bits [6:0] control the absolute offset added to the channel. The offset control provides ±63 LSBs of adjustment range, with one LSB of offset corresponding to one LSB of output code.

Automatic Offset

In addition to the manual offset adjustment mode, the AD9980 also includes circuitry to automatically calibrate the offset for each channel. By monitoring the output of each ADC during the back porch of the input signals, the AD9980 can self-adjust to eliminate any offset errors in its own ADC channels and any offset errors present on the incoming graphics or video signals.

To activate the auto-offset mode, set Register 0x1B, Bit 5 to 1. Next, the target code registers (0x0B through 0x10) must be programmed. The values programmed into the target code registers should be the output code desired from the AD9980 ADCs, which are generated during the back porch reference time. For example, for RGB signals, all three registers are normally programmed to Code 1, while for YPbPr signals the green (Y) channel is normally programmed to Code 1 and the blue and red channels (Pb and Pr) are normally set to 128. The target code registers have nine bits per channel and are in twos complement format. This allows any value between –256 and +255 to be programmed. Although any value in this range can be programmed, the AD9980’s offset range may not be able to reach every value. Intended target code values range from (but are not limited to) –40 to –1 and +1 to +40 when ground clamping and +88 to +168 when midscale clamping. (Note that a target code of 0 is not valid.)

AD9980

Negative target codes are included in order to duplicate a feature that is present with manual offset adjustment. The benefit that is being mimicked is the ability to easily adjust brightness on a display. By setting the target code to a value that does not correspond to the ideal ADC range, the end result is an image that is either brighter or darker. A target code higher than ideal results in a brighter image while a target code lower than ideal results in a darker image.

The ability to program a target code gives a large degree of freedom and flexibility. While in most cases all channels will be set to either 1 or 128, the flexibility to select other values allows for the possibility of inserting intentional skews between channels. It also allows the ADC range to be skewed so that voltages outside of the normal range can be digitized. For example, setting the target code to 40 allows the sync tip, which is normally below black level, to be digitized and evaluated.

The internal logic for the auto-offset circuit requires 16 data clock cycles to perform its function. This operation is executed immediately after the clamping pulse. Therefore, it is important to end the clamping pulse signal at least 16 data clock cycles before active video. This is true whether using the AD9980’s internal clamp circuit or an external clamp signal. The autooffset function can be programmed to run continuously or on a one-time basis (see auto-offset hold, Register 0x2C, Bit 4). In continuous mode, the update frequency can be programmed (Register 0x1B, Bits [4:3]). Continuous operation with updates every 64 Hsyncs is recommended.

Sync-on-Green

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 (Register 0x1D, Bits [7:3]) level (typically 128 mV) above the negative peak. The sync-on-green input must be ac-coupled to the green analog input through its own capacitor. The value of the capacitor must be 1 nF ±20%. If sync-on-green is not used, this connection is not required. The sync-on-green signal always has negative polarity.

Clock Generation

A PLL is employed to generate the pixel clock. The Hsync input provides a reference frequency to the PLL. A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) generates a much higher pixel clock frequency. This pixel clock is divided by the PLL divide value (Register 0x01 and Register 0x02) 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 (see Figure 6). 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, then 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 also becomes shorter.

PIXEL CLOCK INVALID SAMPLE TIMES

Figure 6. Pixel Sampling Times

04740-004

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 AD9980’s clock generation circuit to minimize jitter. The clock jitter of the AD9980 is 9% or less of the total pixel time in all operating modes, making the reduction in the valid sampling time due to jitter negligible.

The PLL characteristics are determined by the loop filter design, the PLL Charge Pump Current, and the VCO range setting. The loop filter design is illustrated in Figure 7. Recommended settings of VCO range and charge pump current for VESA standard display modes are listed in Table 9.

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

can accommodate any Hsync as long as the product of the Hsync and the PLL divisor falls within the operating range of the VCO. The PLL multiplies the frequency of the Hsync signal, producing pixel clock frequencies in the range of 10 MHz to 95 MHz. The divisor register controls the exact multiplication factor. This register may be set to any value between 2 and 4095 as long as the output frequency is within range.

2. The 2-Bit VCO Range Register. To improve the noise

performance of the AD9980, the VCO operating frequency range is divided into four overlapping regions. The VCO

range register sets this operating range. The frequency ranges for the four regions are shown in Table 7.

3. The 3-bit Charge Pump Current Register. This register

varies the current that drives the low-pass loop filter. The possible current values are listed in Table 8.

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. Phase adjust is still available if an external pixel clock is used. The COAST pin or internal Coast 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 from equalization pulses). This may be used during the vertical sync period or at any other time that the Hsync signal is unavailable. The polarity of the Coast signal may be set through the Coast polarity register (Register 0x18, Bits [6:5]). Also, the polarity of the Hsync signal may be set through the Hsync polarity register (Register 0x12, Bits [5:4]). For both Hsync and Coast, a value of 1 is active high. The internal Coast function is driven off of the Vsync signal, which is typically a time when Hsync signals may be disrupted with extra equalization pulses.
