GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9887 offers designers the flexibility of a dual analog and
digital interface for flat panel displays (FPDs) on a single chip.
Both interfaces are optimized for excellent image quality supporting
display resolutions up to SXGA (1280 × 1024 at 75 Hz). Either the
analog or the digital interface can be selected by the user.
Analog Interface
For ease of design and to minimize cost, the AD9887 is a fully
integrated interface solution for FPDs. The AD9887 includes an
analog interface with a 140 MHz triple ADC with internal 1.25 V
reference, PLL to generate a pixel clock from HSYNC, programmable gain, offset, and clamp control. The user provides only a
3.3 V power supply, analog input, and HSYNC. Three-state
CMOS outputs may be powered from 2.5 V to 3.3 V.
The AD9887’s on-chip PLL generates a pixel clock from HSYNC.
Pixel clock output frequencies range from 12 MHz to 140 MHz.
PLL clock jitter is 500 ps p-p typical at 140 MSPS. When a
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 PLL can be disabled and an external clock input
provided as the pixel clock. The AD9887 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. The analog interface
is fully programmable via a 2-wire serial interface.

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. For RGB, the three channels
identical and can be used for any colors, but
colors are assigned for convenient reference.
For proper 4:2:2 formatting in a YUV
application, the Y channel must be connected
the G
B
R
input, U must be connected to the
AIN
input, and V must be connected to the
AIN
input.
AIN
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.
HSYNCHorizontal 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 0Fh Bit 7 (HSYNC Polarity).
Only the leading edge of HSYNC is active,
the trailing edge is ignored. When HSYNC
to
are
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.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection
diodes will conduct heavily if this pin is driven
more than 0.5 V above the maximum tolerance voltage (3.3 V), or more than 0.5 V
below ground.
VSYNCVertical Sync Input
This is the input for vertical sync.
SOGINSync-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, which is set to 0.15 V
above the negative peak of the input signal.
When connected to an ac-coupled graphics
signal with embedded sync, it will produce a
noninverting digital output on SOGOUT.
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.

AD9887
CLAMPExternal Clamp Input (Optional)
This logic input may be used to define the
time during which the input signal is clamped
to the reference dc level, (ground for RGB or
midscale for YUV). 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 EXTCLMP to 1, (the default power-up 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 CLAMPOL. When
not used, this pin must be grounded and
EXTCLMP programmed to 0.
COASTClock 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 when in the
vertical interval. The COAST signal is generally
not required for PC-generated signals. Applications requiring COAST can do so through
the internal COAST found in the SYNC
processing engine.
The logic sense of this pin is controlled by
COAST Polarity.
When not used, this pin may be grounded and
COAST Polarity programmed to 1, or tied
HIGH and COAST Polarity programmed to 0.
COAST Polarity defaults to 1 at power-up.
CKEXTExternal Clock Input (Optional)
This pin may be used to provide an external
clock to the AD9887, in place of the clock
internally generated from HSYNC.
It is enabled by programming EXTCLK to 1.
When an external clock is used, all other internal
functions operate normally. When unused, this
pin should be tied to V
EXTCLK programmed to 0. The clock
adjustment still operates when an external
or to GROUND, and
DD
phase
clock
source is used.
CKINVSampling Clock Inversion (Optional)
This pin may be used to invert the pixel
sampling clock, which has the effect of
shifting the sampling phase 180°. This is in
support of Alternate Pixel Sampling mode,
wherein higher-frequency input signals (up
to 280 Mpps) may be captured by first sampling the odd pixels, then capturing the even
pixels on the subsequent frame.
This pin should be exercised only during blanking
intervals (typically vertical blanking) as it may
produce several samples of corrupted data during
the phase shift.
CKINV should be grounded when not used.

These are the main data outputs. Bit 7 is the MSB.
Each channel has two ports. When the part is
operated in single-channel mode (DEMUX = 0),
all data are presented to Port A, and Port B is
placed in a high-impedance state.
Programming DEMUX to 1 established dualchannel mode, wherein alternate pixels are
presented to Port A and Port B of each channel. These will appear simultaneously, two
pixels presented at the time of every second
input pixel, when PAR is set to 1 (parallel
mode). When PAR = 0, pixel data appear
alternately on the two ports, one new sample
with each incoming pixel (interleaved mode).
In dual channel mode, the first pixel after
HSYNC is routed to Port A. The second pixel
goes to Port B, the third to A, etc.
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, DATACK, and
HSOUT outputs are also moved, so the timing
relationship among the signals is maintained.
Differential data clock output signals to be
used to strobe the output data and HSOUT
into external logic.
They are produced by the internal clock generator and are synchronous with the internal
pixel sampling clock.
When the AD9887 is operated in single-channel mode, the output frequency is equal to the
pixel sampling frequency. When operating in
dual channel mode, the clock frequency is onehalf the pixel frequency.
When the sampling time is changed by adjusting
the PHASE register, the output timing is
as well. The Data, DATACK,
DATACK, and
HSOUT outputs are all moved, so the timing
relationship among the signals is maintained.

REFOUTInternal Reference Output
Output from the internal 1.25 V bandgap reference. This output is intended to drive relatively
light loads. It can drive the AD9887 Reference
Input directly, but should be externally buffered if it is used to drive other loads as well.
The absolute accuracy of this output is ±4%,
and the temperature coefficient is ±50 ppm,
which is adequate for most AD9887 applications. If higher accuracy is required, an
external reference may be employed instead.
If an external reference is used, connect this
pin to ground through a 0.1 µF capacitor.
REFINReference Input
The reference input accepts the master reference voltage for all AD9887 internal circuitry
(1.25 V ± 10%). It may be driven directly by
the REFOUT pin. Its high impedance presents a very light load to the reference source.
This pin should always be bypassed to Ground
with a 0.1 µF capacitor.

THEORY OF OPERATION (INTERFACE DETECTION)
Active Interface Detection and Selection
The AD9887 includes circuitry to detect whether or not an
interface is active.
For detecting the analog interface, the circuitry monitors the
presence of HSYNC, VSYNC, and Sync-on-Green. The result of
the detection circuitry can be read from the 2-wire serial interface bus at address 11H Bits 7, 6, and 5 respectively. If one of
these sync signals disappears, the maximum time it takes for the
circuitry to detect it is 100 ms.
There are two stages for detecting the digital interface. The first
stage searches for the presence of the digital interface clock.
The circuitry for detecting the digital interface clock is active
even when the digital interface is powered down. The result of
this detection stage can be read from the 2-wire serial interface
bus at address 11H Bit 4. If the clock disappears, the maximum
time it takes for the circuitry to detect it is 100 ms. The second
stage attempts to detect DE on the digital interface. Detection is
accomplished when 32 DEs have been counted. DE can only be
detected when the digital interface is powered up, so it is not
always active. The DE detection circuitry is one of the logic
inputs used to set the SyncDT output pin (Pin 136). The logic
for the SyncDT pin is [DE detect] OR [HSYNC detect].
There is an override for the automatic interface selection. It is
the AIO bit (Active Interface Override). When the AIO bit is set
to Logic 0, the automatic circuitry will be used. When the AIO
bit is set to Logic 1, the AIS bit will be used to determine the
active interface rather than the automatic circuitry.

AD9887
Power Management
The AD9887 is a dual interface device with shared outputs.
Only one interface can be used at a time. For this reason, the
chip automatically powers down the unused interface. When
the analog interface is being used, most of the digital interface
circuitry is powered down and vice-versa. This helps to minimize
the AD9887 total power dissipation. In addition, if neither interface has activity on it, the chip powers down both interfaces.
The AD9887 uses the activity detect circuits, the active interface bits in the serial registers, the active interface override bits,
Table III. Interface Selection Controls
and the power-down bit to determine the correct power state.
In a given power mode not all circuitry in the inactive interface
is powered down completely. When the digital interface is
active, the bandgap reference and HSYNC detect circuitry is not
powered down. When the analog interface is active, the digital
interface clock detect circuit is not powered down. Table IV
summarizes how the AD9887 determines which power mode to
be in and what circuitry is powered on/off in each of these
modes. The power-down command has priority, followed by the
active interface override, and then the automatic circuitry.

AD9887
THEORY OF OPERATION AND DESIGN GUIDE
(ANALOG INTERFACE)
General Description
The AD9887 is a fully integrated solution for capturing analog
RGB signals and digitizing them for display on flat panel monitors
or projectors. The device is ideal for implementing a computer
interface in HDTV monitors or as the front end to highperformance video scan converters.
Implemented in a high-performance CMOS process, the interface can capture signals with pixel rates of up to 140 MHz and,
with an Alternate Pixel Sampling mode, up to 280 MHz.
The AD9887 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.
With a typical power dissipation of less than 725 mW and an
operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, the device requires
no special environmental considerations.
Input Signal Handling
The AD9887 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-lead D connector, or BNC connectors.
The AD9887 should be located as close as practical to the
input connector. Signals should be routed via matched-impedance
traces (normally 75 Ω) to the IC input pins.
At that point the signal should be resistively terminated (75 Ω
to the signal ground return) and capacitively coupled to the
AD9887 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 AD9887 (330 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 Fair-Rite #2508051217Z0 High-Speed Signal Chip
Bead inductor in the circuit of Figure 1 gives good results in
most applications.

HSYNC, VSYNC Inputs
The AD9887 receives a horizontal sync signal and uses it to
generate the pixel clock and clamp timing. It is possible to operate
the AD9887 without applying HSYNC (using an external clock,
external clamp) but a number of features of the chip will be
unavailable, so it is recommended that HSYNC be provided.
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 and is capable
of handling signals with long rise times, with superior noise
immunity. 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 or desired.
When the VSYNC input is selected as the source for V
used for COAST generation and is passed through to the
VSOUT pin.
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 Ω 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 (V
low as 2.5 V for compatibility with other 2.5 V logic.
Clamping
RGB Clamping
To digitize the incoming signal properly, 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. The white level will then be
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
is removed by clamping for proper capture by the AD9887.
The key to clamping is to identify a portion (time) of the signal
when the graphic system is known to be producing black. Originating
from CRT displays, the electron beam is “blanked” by sending a
black level during horizontal retrace to prevent disturbing the
image. Most graphics systems maintain this format of sending a
black level between active video lines.
An offset is then introduced which results in the A/D converters
producing a black output (code 00h) 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.
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
SYNC
). They can also work with a VDD as

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 exercising the CLAMP
pin at the appropriate time (with EXTCLMP = 1). The polarity
of this signal is set by the Clamp Polarity bit.
An easier method of clamp timing employs the AD9887 internal
clamp timing generator. The Clamp Placement register is programmed with the number of pixel clocks 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,
HSYNC.
A good starting point for establishing clamping is to
set the clamp placement to 08h (providing eight pixel periods
graphics signal to stabilize after sync) and set the clamp
for the
duration
to 14h (giving the clamp 20 pixel periods to reestablish
the black reference).
The value of the external input coupling capacitor affects the performance of the clamp. If the value is too small, there can be an
amplitude change during a horizontal line time (between clamping
intervals). If the capacitor is too large, it will take excessively long
the clamp to recover from a large change in incoming
The recommended value (47 nF) results in recovery
of 100 mV to within 1/2 LSB in 10 lines using a clamp duration of
20 pixel periods on a 60 Hz SXGA signal.
YUV Clamping
YUV signals are slightly different from RGB signals in that the
dc reference level (black level in RGB signals) will be at the
midpoint of the U and V video signal. For these signals it can
be necessary to clamp to the midscale range of the A/D converter range (80h) rather than bottom of the A/D converter
range (00h).
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
clamped to either midscale or ground independently. These bits
are located in Register 0Fh and are Bits 0–2.
The midscale reference voltage that each A/D converter clamps
to is provided independently on the R
V pins. Each converter must have its own midscale refer-

ence because both offset adjustment and gain adjustment for
each converter will affect the dc level of midscale.
During clamping, the Y and V converters are clamped to their
respective midscale reference input. These inputs are pins

Gain and Offset Control
The AD9887 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).
A code of 0 establishes a minimum input range of 0.5 V; 255
corresponds with the maximum range of 1.0 V. 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 3 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
The Sync-on-Green input operates in two steps. First, it sets a
baseline clamp level from the incoming video signal with a
negative peak detector. Second, it sets the Sync trigger level
(nominally 150 mV above the negative peak). The exact trigger
level is variable and can be programmed via register 11H. The
Sync-on-Green input must be ac-coupled to the green analog
input through its own capacitor as shown in Figure 4. The value
of the capacitor must be 1 nF ±20%. If Sync-on-Green is not
used, this connection is not required and SOGIN should be left
unconnected. (Note: The Sync-on-Green signal is always negative polarity.) Please refer to the Sync Processing section for more
information.

Clock Generation
A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) is employed to generate the pixel
clock. The HSYNC input provides a reference frequency for the
PLL. 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 when 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 5). 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 times are 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.

INVALID SAMPLE TIMES
Figure 5. 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 AD9887’s
clock generation circuit to minimize jitter. As indicated in Figure 6, the clock jitter of the AD9887 is less than 6% 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, by the PLL charge pump current and by 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 VII.

Figure 7. PLL Loop Filter Detail
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 140 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 lower the sensitivity of
the output frequency to noise on the control signal, the VCO
operating frequency range is divided into four overlapping
regions. The VCO Range register sets this operating range.
Because there are only four possible regions, only the two
least-significant bits of the VCO Range register are used.
The frequency ranges for the lowest and highest regions
are shown in Table V.

signal with an identical phase shift is available through the
HSOUT pin. Phase adjustment is still available if the pixel
clock is being provided externally.

sampling clock may be shifted to locate an optimum sampling point within a clock cycle. The Phase Adjust register
The COAST allows the PLL to continue to run at the same
frequency, in the absence of the incoming Hsync signal. 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 Bit.
Also, the polarity of the Hsync signal may be set through the
HSYNC polarity Bit. If not using automatic polarity
detection, the HSYNC and COAST polarity bits should
be set to match the Polarity of their respective signals.

SCAN Function
The SCAN function is intended as a pseudo JTAG function for
manufacturing test of the board. The ordinary operation of the
AD9887 is disabled during SCAN.
To enable the SCAN function, set register 14h, bit 2 to 1. To

Alternate Pixel Sampling Mode
A Logic 1 input on Clock Invert (CKINV, Pin 94) inverts the
nominal ADC clock. CKINV can be switched between frames
to implement the alternate pixel sampling mode. This allows
higher effective image resolution to be achieved at lower pixel
rates but with lower frame rates.
On one frame, only even pixels are digitized. On the subsequent
frame, odd pixels are sampled. By reconstructing the entire
frame in the graphics controller, a complete image can be reconstructed. This is very similar to the interlacing process that is
employed in broadcast television systems, but the interlacing is
vertical instead of horizontal. The frame data is still presented to
the display at the full desired refresh rate (usually 60 Hz) so no
flicker artifacts are added.

Timing (Analog Interface)
The following timing diagrams show the operation of the
AD9887 analog interface in all clock modes. The part establishes timing by having the sample that corresponds to the pixel
digitized when the leading edge of HSYNC occurs sent to the
“A” data port. In Dual Channel Mode, the next sample is sent
to the “B” port. Future samples are alternated between the “A”
and “B” data ports. In Single Channel Mode, data is only sent
to the “A” data port, and the “B” port is placed in a high
impedance state.
The Output Data Clock signal is created so that its rising edge
always occurs between “A” data transitions, and can be used to
latch the output data externally.

Hsync Timing
Horizontal sync is processed in the AD9887 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).
Three things happen to Horizontal Sync in the AD9887. 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 04H, Bit 4).
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.
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 embed 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.
Coast can be provided by the graphics controller or it can be
internally generated by the AD9887 Sync processing engine.

THEORY OF OPERATION (DIGITAL INTERFACE)
Capturing of the Encoded Data
The first step in recovering the encoded data is to capture the
raw data. To accomplish this, the AD9887 employs a high-speed
Phase Locked Loop (PLL), to generate clocks capable of
oversampling the data at the correct frequencies. The data
capture circuitry continuously monitors the incoming data during
horizontal and vertical blanking times (when DE is low), and
independently selects the best sampling phase for each data
channel. The phase information is stored and used until the next
blanking
Data Frames
period (one video line).
The digital interface data is captured in groups of 10 bits each,
called a data frame. During the active data period, each frame is
made up the nine encoded video data bits and one dc balancing
bit. The data capture block receives this data serially, but outputs each frame in parallel 10-bit words.
Special Characters
During periods of horizontal or vertical blanking time (when
DE is low), the digital transmitter will transmit special characters.
The AD9887 will receive these characters and use them to set the
video frame boundaries and the phase recovery loop for each
channel. There are four special characters that can be received.
They are used to identify the top, bottom, left side, and right side
of each video frame. The data receiver can differentiate these
special characters from active data because the special characters
have a different number of transitions per data frame.
Channel Resynchronization
The purpose of the channel resynchronization block is to resynchronize the three data channels to a single internal data clock.
Coming into this block, all three data channels can be on different phases of the three times oversampling PLL clock (0°, 120°,
and 240°). This block can resynchronize the channels from a
worst-case skew of one full input period (8.93 ns at 112 MHz).
Data Decoder
The data decoder receives frames of data and sync signals from
the data capture block (in 10-bit parallel words), and decodes
them into groups of eight RGB/YUV bits, two control bits, and
a data enable bit (DE).

CHIP IDENTIFICATION
007–0 Chip Revision
Bits 7 through 4 represent functional revisions to the
analog interface. Changes in these bits will generally
indicate that software and/or hardware changes will be
required for the chip to work properly. Bits 3 through 0
represent nonfunctional related revisions and are reset to
0000 whenever the MSBs are changed. Changes in these
bits are considered transparent to the user.
PLL DIVIDER CONTROL
017–0 PLL Divide Ratio MSBs
The eight most significant bits of the 12-bit PLL divide ratio
PLLDIV. (The operational divide ratio is PLLDIV + 1.)
The PLL derives a pixel clock from the incoming Hsync
signal. The pixel 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 221 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,
which will assist in determining the value for PLLDIV as
a function of horizontal and vertical display resolution
and frame rate (Table VII).
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 AD9887 updates the full divide ratio only when the
LSBs are changed. Writing to this register by itself will not
trigger an update.
027–4 PLL Divide Ratio LSBs
The four least significant bits of the 12-bit PLL divide ratio
PLLDIV. The operational divide ratio is PLLDIV + 1.
The power-up default value of PLLDIV is 1693
(PLLDIVM = 69h, PLLDIVL = Dxh).
The AD9887 updates the full divide ratio only when this
register is written.
CLOCK GENERATOR CONTROL

036–5 VCO Range Select
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, in order 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 X shows the pixel rates
for each VCO range setting. The PLL output divisor is
automatically selected with the VCO range setting.

The power-up default value is CURRENT = 001.

A five-bit value that adjusts the sampling phase in 32 steps

CLAMP TIMING
057–0 Clamp Placement
An eight-bit register that sets the position of the internally
generated clamp.
When EXTCLMP = 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. A value of 0 is not
supported.
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 EXTCLMP = 1, this register is ignored.

Page 30
AD9887
067–0 Clamp Duration
An 8-bit register that sets the duration of the internally
generated clamp.
When EXTCLMP = 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, and continues for (clamp duration) pixel
periods. The clamp duration may be programmed to any
value between 1 and 255. A value of 0 is not supported.
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 EXTCLMP = 1, this register is ignored.
Hsync Pulsewidth
077–0 Hsync Output Pulsewidth
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 AD9887 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.
INPUT GAIN
087–0 Red Channel Gain Adjust
An 8-bit word that sets the gain of the RED channel.
The AD9887 can accommodate input signals with a
full-scale range of between 0.5 V and 1.5 V p-p. Setting
REDGAIN to 255 corresponds to an input range of 1.0 V.
A REDGAIN of 0 establishes an input range of 0.5 V.
Note that INCREASING REDGAIN results in the picture
having LESS CONTRAST (the input signal uses fewer
of the available converter codes). See Figure 3.
097–0 Green Channel Gain Adjust
An 8-bit word that sets the gain of the GREEN channel.
See REDGAIN (08).
0A7–0 Blue Channel Gain Adjust
An 8-bit word that sets the gain of the BLUE channel.
See REDGAIN (08).
INPUT OFFSET
0B7–1 Red Channel Offset Adjust
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 63 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.
0C7–1 Green Channel Offset Adjust
A 7-bit offset binary word that sets the dc offset of the
GREEN channel. See REDOFST (0B).
0D7–1 Blue Channel Offset Adjust
A 7-bit offset binary word that sets the dc offset of the
GREEN channel. See REDOFST (0B).

inputs when COAST is LOW, and continue operating at the
same nominal frequency until COAST goes HIGH.
Active HIGH means that the clock generator will ignore
Hsync inputs when COAST is HIGH, and continue operating at the same nominal frequency until COAST goes LOW.
This function needs to be used along with the COAST
polarity override bit (Register 14, Bit 1).
The power-up default value is CSTPOL = 1.

A 0 enables the clamp timing circuitry controlled by
CLPLACE and CLDUR. The clamp position and duration is counted from the leading edge of Hsync.
A 1 enables the external CLAMP input pin. The three
channels are clamped when the CLAMP signal is
active. The polarity of CLAMP is determined by the
CLAMPOL bit.
The power-up default value is EXTCLMP = 0.

A bit that determines the polarity of the externally provided CLAMP signal.

0Active LOW

Active LOW is the traditional negative-going Hsync pulse.
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
CLPOS, will not be placed as expected, which may generate clamping errors.
The power-up default value is HSPOL = 1.

2-WIRE SERIAL CONTROL PORT
A 2-wire serial interface control interface is provided. Up to four
AD9887 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.
There are five components to serial bus operation:
• Start Signal
• Slave Address Byte
• Base Register Address Byte
• Data Byte to Read or Write
• Stop Signal
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 comprising
a 7-bit slave address (the first seven bits) and a single R/W bit (the
–36–
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 SA
input pins in Table LIII, the AD9887 acknowledges
1-0
by
bringing SDA LOW on the 9th SCL pulse. If the addresses do not
match, the AD9887 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 AD9887 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 AD9887 during a read sequence, the AD9887 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 AD9887 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 remain at its maximum value of 1Dh. Any base
address higher than 1Dh will not produce an acknowledge signal.
Data is read from the control registers of the AD9887 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 AD9887, 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.

THEORY OF OPERATION (SYNC PROCESSING)
This section is devoted to the basic operation of the sync pro
cess-
ing engine (refer to Figure 37 Sync Processing Block Diagram).
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 trigger level that is 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 integratorlike 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 AD9887 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 µs width Hsync, the counter
will only reach 5 (1 µs/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 (0fh).
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
The AD9887 is a high-performance, 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 AD9887.
Analog Interface Inputs
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 AD9887 as close as possible to
the graphics VGA connector. Long input trace lengths are undesirable because they will pick up more noise from the board and
other external sources.
Place the 75 Ω termination resistors as close to the AD9887
chip as possible. Any additional trace length between the termination resistors and the input of the AD9887 increases the
magnitude of reflections, which will corrupt the graphics signal.
Use 75 Ω matched impedance traces. Trace impedances other
than 75 Ω will also increase the chance of reflections.
The AD9887 has very high input bandwidth, (330 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 AD9887, sometimes low-pass
filtering the analog inputs can help to reduce noise. (For many
applications, filtering is unnecessary.) Experiments have shown
that placing a series ferrite bead prior to the 75 Ω 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 Ω to 120 Ω resistor between the 75 Ω termination
resistor and the input coupling capacitor can also be beneficial.
Digital Interface Inputs
Each differential input pair (RXO+, RXO–, RXC+, RXC–, etc.)
should be routed together using 50 Ω strip line routing techniques and should be kept as short as possible. No other
components should be placed on these inputs; for example, no
clamping diodes. Every effort should also be made to route
these signals on a single layer (component layer) with no vias.
Power Supply Bypassing
It is recommended to bypass each power supply pin with a
0.1 µF capacitor. The exception is in the case where two or
more supply pins are adjacent to each other. For these groupings of powers/grounds, it is only necessary to have 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 AD9887,
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 PV
PV
can result in similarly abrupt changes in sampling clock
D
(the clock generator supply). Abrupt changes in
D
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 (V
and PVD).
D
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 PV
, from a different, cleaner
D
power source (for example, from a 12 V supply).
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 AD9887. 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).

Figure 39. Example of a Current Loop
PLL
Place the PLL loop filter components as close to the FILT pin
as possible.
Do not place any digital or other high-frequency traces near
these components.
Use the values suggested in the data sheet with 10% tolerances
or less.
Outputs (Both Data and Clocks)
Try to minimize the trace length that the digital outputs have to
drive. Longer traces have higher capacitance, which require
more current that causes more internal digital noise.
Shorter traces reduce the possibility of reflections.
Adding a series resistor of value 50 Ω–200 Ω can suppress reflec-
tions, reduce EMI, and reduce the current spikes inside of the
AD9887. If series resistors are used, place them as close to the
AD9887 pins as possible (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 AD9887 creating
more digital noise on its power supplies.
Digital Inputs
The digital inputs on the AD9887 were designed to work with
3.3 V signals.
Any noise that gets onto the Hsync input trace will add jitter to
the system. Therefore, minimize the trace length and do not run
any digital or other high-frequency traces near it.
Voltage Reference
Bypass with a 0.1 µF capacitor. Place as close to the AD9887
pin as possible. Make the ground connection as short as possible.
REFOUT is easily connected to REFIN with a short trace. Avoid
making this trace any longer than it needs to be.
When using an external reference, the REFOUT output, while
unused, still needs to be bypassed with a 0.1 µF capacitor in
order to avoid ringing.
