General Description
Chrontel’s CH7013A digital PC to TV encoder is a standalone integrated circuit which provides a PC 99 compliant
solution for TV output. It provides a universal digital input
port to accept a pixel data stream from a compatible VGA
controller (or equivalent) and converts this directly into
NTSC or PAL TV format.
This circuit integrates a digital NTSC/PAL encoder with 9bit DAC interface, and new adaptive flicker filter, and high
accuracy low-jitter phase locked loop to create outstanding
quality video. Through its TrueScale
flickering engine, the CH7013A supports full vertical and
horizontal underscan capability and operates in 5 different
resolutions including 640x480 and 800x600.
A new universal digital interface along with full
programmability make the CH7013A ideal for system-level
PC solutions. All features are software programmable
through a serial port, to enable a complete PC solution
using a TV as the primary display.

Digital Pixel Inputs
These pins accept digital pixel data streams with either 8, 12, or 16-bit
multiplexed or 16-bit non-multiplexed formats, determined by the input
mode setting (see Registers and Programming section). Inputs D0 - D7
are used when operating in 8-bit multiplexed mode. Inputs D0 - D11 are
used when operating in 12-bit mode. Inputs D0 - D15 are used when
operating in 16-bit mode. The data structure and timing sequence for
each mode is described in the section on Digital Input Port.
Pixel Clock Output
The CH7013A, operating in master mode, provides a pixel data
clocking signal to the VGA controller. This pin provides the pixel clock
output signal (adjustable as X, 2X or 3X) to the VGA controller (see the
section on Digital Video Interface and Registers and Programming for
more details). The capacitive loading on this pin should be kept to a
minimum.
Pixel Clock Input
To operate in a pure master mode, the P-OUT signal should be
connected to the XCLK input pin. To operate in a pseudo-master mode,
the P-OUT clock is used as a reference frequency, and a signal locked
to this output (at 1X, 1/2X, or 1/3X the P-OUT frequency) is input to the
XCLK pin. To operate in slave mode, the CH7013A accepts an external
pixel clock input at this pin. The capacitive loading on this pin should be
kept to a minimum.
Vertical Sync Input/Output
This pin accepts the vertical sync signal from the VGA controller, or
outputs a vertical sync to the VGA controller. The capacitive loading on
this pin should kept to a minimum.
Horizontal Sync Input/Output
This pin accepts the horizontal sync from the VGA controller, or outputs
a horizontal sync to the VGA controller. The capacitive loading on this
pin should be kept to a minimum.
Buffered Clock Output
This pin provides a buffered output of the 14.31818 MHz crystal input
frequency for other devices and remains active at all times (including
power-down). The output can also be selected to be other frequencies
(see Registers and Programming).
Crystal Input
A parallel resonance 14.31818 MHz (± 50 ppm) crystal should be
attached between XI and XO/FIN. However, if an external CMOS clock
is attached to XO/FIN, XI should be connected to ground.
Crystal Output or External Fref
A 14.31818 MHz (± 50 ppm) crystal may be attached between XO/FIN
and XI. An external CMOS compatible clock can be connected to
XO/FIN as an alternative.

Digital Video Interface
The CH7013A digital video interface provides a flexible digital interface between a computer graphics controller
and the TV encoder IC, forming the ideal quality/cost configuration for performing the TV-output function. This
digital interface consists of up to 16 data signals and 4 control signals, all of which are subject to programmable
control through the CH7013A register set. This interface can be configured as 8, 12 or 16-bit inputs operating in
either multiplexed mode or 16-bit input operation in de-multiplexed mode. It will also accept either YCrCb or RGB
(15, 16 or 24-bit) data formats and will accept both non-interlaced and interlaced data formats. A summary of the
input data format modes is as follows:

CHRONTELCH7013A
The clock and timing signals used to latch and process the incoming pixel data is dependent upon the clock mode.
The CH7013A can operate in either master (the CH7013A generates a pixel frequency which is either returned as a
phase-aligned pixel clock or used directly to latch data), or slave mode (the graphics chip generates the pixel clock).
The pixel clock frequency will change depending upon the active image size (e.g., 640x480 or 800x600), the desired
output format (NTSC or PAL), and the amount of scaling desired. The pixel clock may be requested to be 1X, 2X, or
3X the pixel data rate (subject to a 100MHz frequency limitation). In the case of a 1X pixel clock the CH7013A will
automatically use both clock edges, if a multiplexed data format is selected.
Sync Signals: Horizontal and vertical sync signals will normally be supplied by the VGA controller, but may be
selected to be generated by the CH7013A. In the case of CCIR656 style input (IDF = 1 or 9), embedded sync may
also be used. (In each case, the period of the horizontal sync should be equal to the duration of the pixel clock, times
the first value of the (Total Pixels/Line x Total Lines/Frame) column of the Table17 on page 32 (display Mode
Register OOH description). The leading edge of the horizontal sync is used to determine the start of each line. The
Vertical sync signal must be able to be set to the second value in the: (Total Pixels/Line x Total Lines/Frame)
column of Table17 on page 32).
Master Clock Mode: The CH7013A generates a clock signal (output at the P-OUT pin) which will be used by the
VGA controller as a frequency reference. The VGA controller will then generate a clock signal which will be input
via the XCLK input. This incoming signal will be used to latch (and de-multiplex, if required) incoming data. The
XCLK input clock rate must match the input data rate, and the P-OUT clock can be requested to be 1X, 2X or 3X
the pixel data rate. As an alternative, the P-OUT clock signal can also be used as the input clock signal (connected
directly to the XCLK input) to latch the incoming data. If this mode is used, the incoming data must meet setup and
hold times with respect to the XCLK input (with the only internal adjustment being XCLK polarity).
Slave Clock Mode: The VGA controller will generate a clock which will be input to the XCLK pin (no clock signal
will be output on the P-OUT pin). This signal must match the input data rate, must occur at 1X, 2X or 3X the pixel
data rate, and will be used to latch (and de-multiplex if required) incoming data. Also, the graphics IC transmits
back to the TV encoder the horizontal and vertical timing signals, and pixel data, each of which must meet the
specified setup and hold times with respect to the pixel clock.
Pixel Data: Active pixel data will be expected after a programmable number of pixels times the multiplex rate after
the leading edge of Horizontal Sync. In other words, specifying the horizontal back porch value (as a pixel count),
plus horizontal sync width, will determine when the chip will begin to sample pixels.
Non-multiplexed Mode
In the 15/16-bit mode shown in Figure4, the pixel data bus represents a 15/16-bit non-multiplexed data stream,
which contains either RGB or YCrCb formatted data. When operating in RGB mode, each 15/16-bit Pn value will
contain a complete pixel encoded in either 5-6-5 or 5-5-5 format. When operating in YCrCb mode, each 16-bit Pn
word will contain an 8-bit Y (luminance) value on the upper 8 bits, and an 8-bit C (color difference) value on the
lower 8 bits. The color difference will be transmitted at half the data rate of the luminance data, with the sequencebeing set as Cb followed by Cr. The Cb and Cr data will be co-sited with the Y value transmitted with the Cb value,
with the data sequence described in Table3. The first active pixel is SAV pixels after the trailing edge of horizontal
sync, where SAV is a bus-controlled register.

When IDF = 1, (YCrCb 16-bit mode), H and V sync signals can be embedded into the data stream. In this mode, the
embedded sync will be similar to the CCIR656 convention (not identical, since that convention is for 8-bit data
streams), and the first byte of the ‘video timing reference code’ will be assumed to occur when a Cb sample would
occur – if the video stream was continuous. This is delineated in Table4 below.

Bits S[7] and S[3..0] are ignored.
Multiplexed Mode
Each rising edge (or each rising and falling edge) of the XCLK signal will latch data from the graphics chip. The
multiplexed input data formats are shown in Figures 5 and 6. The Pixel Data bus represents an 8, 12, or 16-bit
multiplexed data stream, which contains either RGB or YCrCb formatted data. In IDF settings of 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9,
the input data rate is 2X PCLK, and each pair of Pn values (e.g., P0a and P0b) will contain a complete pixel,
encoded as shown in the tables below. When IDF = 6, the input data rate is 3X PCLK, and each triplet of Pn values
(e.g., P0a, P0b and P0c) will contain a complete pixel, encoded as shown in the tables below. When the input is
YCrCb, the color-difference data will be transmitted at half the data rate of the luminance data, with the sequence
being set as Cb, Y, Cr, Y where Cb0,Y0,Cr0 refers to co-sited luminance and color-difference samples — and the
following Y1 byte refers to the next luminance sample, per CCIR656 standards. However, the clock frequency is
dependent upon the current mode, (not 27MHz, as specified in CCIR656).

The CH7013A is a TV-output companion chip to graphics controllers providing digital output in either YUV or
RGB format. This solution involves both hardware and software elements which work together to produce an
optimum TV screen image based on the original computer generated pixel data. All essential circuitry for this
conversion are integrated on-chip. On-chip circuitry includes memory, memory control, scaling, PLL, DAC, filters,
and NTSC/PAL encoder. All internal signal processing, including NTSC/PAL encoding, is performed using digital
techniques to ensure that the high-quality video signals are not affected by drift issues associated with analog
components. No additional adjustment is required during manufacturing.
CH7013A is ideal for PC motherboards, web browsers, or VGA add-in boards where a minimum of discrete support
components (passive components, parallel resonance 14.31818 MHz crystal) are required for full operation.
Architectural Overview
The CH7013A is a complete TV output subsystem which uses both hardware and software elements to produce an
image on TV which is virtually identical to the image that would be displayed on a monitor. Simply creating a
compatible TV output from a VGA input involves a relatively straightforward process. This process includes a
standard conversion from RGB to YUV color space, converting from a non-interlaced to an interlaced frame
sequence, and encoding the pixel stream into NTSC or PAL compliant format. However, creating an optimum
computer-generated image on a TV screen involves a highly sophisticated process of scaling, deflickering, and
filtering. This results in a compatible TV output that displays a sharp and subtle image, of the right size, with
minimal artifacts from the conversion process.
As a key part of the overall system solution, the CH7013A software establishes the correct framework for the VGA
input signal to enable this process. Once the display is set to a supported resolution (either 640x480 or 800x600), the
CH7013A software may be invoked to establish the appropriate TV output display. The software then programs the
various timing parameters of the VGA controller to create an output signal that will be compatible with the chosen
resolution, operating mode, and TV format. Adjustments performed in software include pixel clock rates, total
pixels per line, and total lines per frame. By performing these adjustments in software, the CH7013A can render a
superior TV image without the added cost of a full frame buffer memory – normally used to implement features
such as scaling and full synchronization.
The CH7013A hardware accepts digital RGB or YCrCb inputs, which are latched in synchronization with the pixel
clock. These inputs are then color-space converted into YUV in 4-2-2 format and stored in a line buffer memory.
The stored pixels are fed into a block where scan-rate conversion, underscan scaling and 2-line, 3-line, 4-line and 5line vertical flicker filtering are performed. The scan-rate converter transforms the VGA horizontal scan-rate to
either NTSC or PAL scan rates; the vertical flicker filter eliminates flicker at the output while the underscan scaling
reduces the size of the displayed image to fit onto a TV screen. The resulting YUV signals are filtered through
digital filters to minimize aliasing problems. The digital encoder receives the filtered signals and transforms them to
composite and S-Video outputs, which are converted by the three 9-bit DACs into analog outputs.
Color Burst Generation*
The CH7013A allows the sub-carrier frequency to be accurately generated from a 14.31818 MHz crystal oscillator,
leaving the sub-carrier frequency independent of the sampling rate. As a result, the CH7013A may be used with any
VGA chip (with an appropriate digital interface) since the CH7013A sub-carrier frequency can be generated without
being dependent on the precise pixel rates of VGA controllers. This feature is a significant benefit, since even a ±
0.01% sub-carrier frequency variation may be enough to cause some television monitors to lose color lock.
In addition, the CH7013A has the capability to genlock the color burst signal to the VGA horizontal sync frequency,
which enables a fully synchronous system between the graphics controller and the television. When genlocked, the
CH7013A can also stop “dot crawl” motion (for composite mode operation in NTSC modes) to eliminate the
annoyance of moving borders. Both of these features are under programmable control through the register set.
Display Modes
The CH7013A display mode is controlled by three independent factors: input resolution, TV format, and scale
factor, which are programmed via the display mode register. It is designed to accept input resolutions of 640x480,
800x600, 640x400 (including 320x200 scan-doubled output), 720x400, and 512x384. It is designed to support

output to either NTSC or PAL television formats. The CH7013A provides interpolated scaling with selectable
factors of 5:4, 1:1, 7:8, 5:6, 3:4 and 7:10 in order to support adjustable overscan or underscan operation when
displayed on a TV. This combination of factors results in a matrix of useful operating modes which are listed in
detail in Table11.
(1) Note:Percent underscan is a calculated value based on average viewable lines on each TV format, assuming an average TV ovescan
of 10%. (Negative values) indicate modes which are operating in underscan.
For NTSC: 480 active lines - 10% (overscan) = 432 viewable lines (average)
For PAL: 576 active lines - 10% (overscan) = 518 viewable lines (average)
The inclusion of multiple levels of scaling for each resolution have been created to enable optimal use of the
CH7013A for different application needs. In general, underscan (modes where percent overscan is negative)
provides an image that is viewable in its entirety on screen; it should be used as the default for most applications
(e.g., viewing text screens, operating games, running productivity applications and working within Windows).
Overscanning provides an image that extends past the edges of the TV screen, exactly like normal television
programs and movies appear on TV, and is only recommended for viewing movies or video clips coming from the
computer. In addition to the above mode table, the CH7013A also support interlaced input modes, both in CCIR 656
and proprietary formats (see Display Mode Register section.)
Flicker Filter and Text Enhancement
The CH7013A integrates an advanced 2-line, 3-line, 4-line and 5-line (depending on mode) vertical deflickering
filter circuit to help eliminate the flicker associated with interlaced displays. This flicker circuit provides an adaptive
filter algorithm for implementing flicker reduction with selections of high, medium or low flicker content for both
luma and chroma channels (see register descriptions). In addition, a special text enhancement circuit incorporates

proprietory Algorithms for enhancing the readability of text. These modes are fully programmable via the serial port
under the flicker filter register.
Internal Voltage Reference
An on-chip bandgap circuit is used in the DAC to generate a reference voltage which, in conjunction with a
reference resistor at pin RSET, and register controlled divider, sets the output ranges of the DACs. The CH7013A
bandgap reference voltage is 1.235 volts nominal for NTSC or PAL-M, or 1.317 volts nominal (for PAL or NTSCJ), which is determined by IDF register bit 6 (DACG bit). The recommended value for the reference resistor RSET
is 360 ohms (though this may be adjusted in order to achieve a different output level). The gain setting for DAC
output is 1/48th. Therefore, for each DAC, the current output per LSB step is determined by the following equation:
I
= V(RSET)/RSET reference resistor * 1/GAIN
LSB
For DACG=0, this is: I
For DACG=1, this is: I
Power Management
The CH7013A supports five operating states including Normal [On], Power Down, Full Power Down, S-Video Off,
and Composite Off to provide optimal power consumption for the application involved. Using the programmable
power down modes accessed over the serial port, the CH7013A may be placed in either Normal state, or any of the
four power managed states, as listed below (see “Power Management Register” under the Register Descriptions
section for programming information). To support power management, a TV sensing function (see “Connection
Detect Register” under the Register Descriptions section) is provided, which identifies whether a TV is connected to
either S-Video or composite. This sensing function can then be used to enter into the appropriate operating state
(e.g., if TV is sensed only on composite, the S-Video Off mode could be set by software).

Luminance and Chrominance Filter Options
The CH7013A contains a set of luminance filters to provide a controllable bandwidth output on both CVBS and SVideo outputs. All values are completely programmable via the Video Bandwidth Register. For all graphs shown,
the horizontal axis is frequency in MHz, and the vertical axis is attenuation in dBs. The composite luminance and
chrominance video bandwidth output is shown in Table13.

NTSC and PAL Operation
Composite and S-Video outputs are supported in either NTSC or PAL format. The general parameters used to
characterize these outputs are listed in Table14 and shown in Figure10. (See Figure13 through 18 for illustrations
of composite and S-Video output waveforms.)
CCIR624-3 Compliance
The CH7013A is predominantly compliant with the recommendations called out in CCIR624-3. The following are
the only exceptions to this compliance:
• The frequencies of Fsc, Fh, and Fv can only be guaranteed in master or pseudo-master modes, not in slave mode
when the graphics device generates these frequencies.
• It is assumed that gamma correction, if required, is performed in the graphics device which establishes the color
reference signals.
• All modes provide the exact number of lines called out for NTSC and PAL modes respectively, except mode 21,
which outputs 800x600 resolution, scaled by 3:4, to PAL format with a total of 627 lines (vs. 625).
• Chroma signal frequency response will fall within 10% of the exact recommended value.
• Pulse widths and rise/fall times for sync pulses, front/back porches, and equalizing pulses are designed to
approximate CCIR624-3 requirements, but will fall into a range of values due to the variety of clock frequencies
used to support multiple operating modes

Bit 6 (CVBW) outputs the S-Video luma signal on both the S-Video luma output and the CVBS output. A "1" in this
location enables the output of a black and white image on composite, thereby eliminating the degrading effects of
the color signal (such as dot crawl or false colors), which is useful for viewing text with high accuracy.
Bit 7 (FLFF) controls the flicker filter used in the 7/10’s scaling modes. In these scaling modes, setting FLFF to 1
causes a five line flicker filter to be used. The default setting of 0 uses a four line flicker filter.

µA, which provides the correct levels for NTSC and PAL-M. When DACG=1, the nominal DAC current is 76µA,
which provides the correct levels for PAL and NTSC-J.
Clock Mode Register Symbol: CM
Address: 06H
Bits: 8
Bit:76543210
Symbol:
Type:
Default:
The setting of the clock mode bits determines the clocking mechanism used in the CH7013A. The clock modes are
shown in the table below. PCM controls the frequency of the pixel clock, and XCM identifies the frequency of the
XCLK input clock.
Note: For what was formerly defined as the master mode, the user must now externally connect the P-OUT clock to the
XCLK input pin. Although it is possible to set the XCM [1:0] and PCM[1:0] values independent of the input data format,
there are only certain combinations of inpu data format, XCM and PCM, that will result in valid data being demultiplexed
at the input of the device. Refer to the “Input Data Format Register” for these combinations.
Note: Display modes 25 and 26 must use a 2X multiplexed input data format and a 2X XCLK. Display modes 27
and 28 must use a 1X XCLK input data format.
Table 22. Input Data Format Register
XCM[1:0]PCM[1:0]XCLKP-OUTInput Data Modes Supported
The Clock Mode Register also contains the following bits:
•MCP (bit 4) determines which edge of the pixel clock output will be used to latch input data. Zero selects the
negative edge, one selects the positive edge.
•M/S* (bit 6) determines whether the device operates in master or slave clock mode. In master mode (1), the
14.31818MHz clock is used as a frequency reference to the PLL . In slave mode (0) the XCLK input is used
as a reference to the PLL, and is divided by the value specified by XCM[1:0]. The divide by N and M are
forced to one.
•CFRB (bit 7) sets whether the chroma subcarrier free-runs, or is locked to the video signal. One causes the
subcarrier to lock to the TV vertical rate, and should be used when the ACIV bit is set to zero. Zero causes the
subcarrier to free-run, and should be used when the ACIV bit is set to one.
Start Active Video RegisterSymbol: SAV
Address: 07H
Bits: 8
Bit:76543210
Symbol:
Type:
Default:
This register sets the delay, in pixel increments, from leading edge of horizontal sync to start of active video. The
entire bit field SAV[8:0] is comprised of this register SAV[7:0], plus the MSB value contained in the position
overflow register, bit SAV8. This is decoded as a whole number of pixels, which can be set anywhere between 0 and
511 pixels. Therefore, in any 2X clock mode, the number of 2X clocks from the leading edge of sync to the first
active data must be a multiple of two clocks. In any 3X clock mode, the number of 3X clocks from the leading edge
of sync to the first active data must be a multiple of three clocks.
This register sets the black level. The luminance data is added to this black level, which must be set between 90 and
208, with the default value being 127. Recommended values for NTSC and PAL-M are 127, 105 for PAL and 100
for NTSC-J. This value must be set to zero when in SCART mode.
Horizontal Position Register Symbol: HPR
Address: 0AH
Bits: 8
Bit:76543210
Symbol:
Type:
Default:
The horizontal position register is used to shift the displayed TV image in a horizontal direction (left or right) to
achieve a horizontally centered image on screen. The entire bit field, HP[8:0] is comprised of this register HP[7:0]
plus the MSB value contained in the position overflow register, bit HP8. Increasing this value moves the displayed
image position RIGHT; decreasing this value moves the displayed image position LEFT. Each increment moves the
image position by 4 input pixels.
This register is used to shift the displayed TV image in a vertical direction (up or down) to achieve a vertically centered image on screen. This bit field, VP[8:0] represents the TV line number (relative to the VGA vertical sync)
used to initiate the generation and insertion of the TV vertical interval (i.e., the first sequence of equalizing pulses).
Increasing values delay the output of the TV vertical sync, causing the image position to move UP on the TV screen.
Decreasing values, therefore, move the image position DOWN. Each increment moves the image position by one
TV lines (approximately 4 input lines). The maximum value that should be programmed into the VP[8:0] value is
the number of TV lines minus one, divided by two (262, 312 or 313). When panning the image up, the number
should be increased until (TVLPF-1) /2 is reached; the next step should be to reset the register to zero. When panning the image down the screen, the VP[8:0] value should be decremented until the value zero is reached. The next
step should set the register to (TVLPF-1) /2, and then decrementing can continue. If this value is programmed to a
number greater than (TV lines per frame-1) /2, a TV vertical SYNC will not be generated.
This register provides selection of the synchronization signal input to, or output from, the CH7013A.
•HSP (bit 0) is Horizontal Sync Polarity - an HSP value of zero means the horizontal sync is active low, and a
value of one means the horizontal sync is active high.
•VSP (bit 1) is Vertical Sync Polarity - a VSP value of zero means the vertical sync is active low, and a value of
one means the vertical sync is active high.
•SYO (bit 2) is Sync Direction - a SYO value of zero means that H and V sync are input to the CH7013A. A
value of one means that H and V sync are output from the CH7013A.
•DES (bit 3) is Detect Embedded Sync - a DES value of zero means that H and V sync will be obtained from
the direct pin inputs. A DES value of one means that H and V sync will be detected from the embedded codes
on the pixel input stream. Note that this will only be valid for the YCrCb input modes.
Note: When sync direction is set to be an output, horizontal sync will use a fixed pulse width of 64 pixels and vertical
sync will use a fixed pulse width of 2 lines.

Reset* (bit 3) is soft reset. Setting this bit will reset all circuitry requiring a power on reset, except for this bit itself
and the serial port.
SCART (bit 4) is the SCART enable. Setting SCART = 0 means the CH7013A will operate normally, outputting
Y/C and CVBS from the three DACs. SCART=1 enables SCART output, which will cause R, G and B to be output
from the DACs and composite sync from the CSYNC pin.
Note: For complete details regarding the operation of these modes, see the Power Management in Functional Description
sections.

The Connection Detect Register provides a means to sense the connection of a TV to either S-Video or Composite
video outputs. The status bits, YT, CT, and CVBST correspond to the DAC outputs for S-Video (Y and C outputs)
and Composite video (CVBS), respectively. However, the values contained in these status bits are NOT VALID
until a sensing procedure is performed. Use of this register requires a sequence of events to enable the sensing of
outputs, then reading out the applicable status bits. The detection sequence works as follows:

2. Set the SENSE bit to a 1. This forces a constant current output onto the Y, C, and CVBS outputs. Note that
during SENSE = 1, these 3 analog outputs are at steady state and no TV synchronization pulses are asserted.
3. Reset the SENSE bit to 0. This triggers a comparison between the voltage sensed on these analog outputs
and the reference value expected (V

value, it is considered connected, if it is above this voltage it is considered unconnected. During this step,
each of the three status bits corresponding to individual analog outputs will be set if they are NOT
connected.
4. Read the status bits. The status bits, Y, C, and CVBST (corresponding to S-Video Y and C outputs and
composite video) now contain valid information which can be read to determine which outputs are
connected to a TV. Again, a “0” indicates a valid connection, a “1” indicates an unconnected output.

This register provides control of the contrast enhancement feature of the CH7013A, according to the table below. At
a setting of 000, the video signal will be pulled towards the maximum black level. As the value of CE[2:0] is
increased, the amount that the signal is pulled towards black is decreased until unity gain is reached at a setting of
011. From this point on, the video signal is pulled towards the white direction, with the effect increasing with
increasing settings of CE[2:0].

The PLL M value register determines the division factor applied to the frequency reference clock before it is input to
the PLL phase detector when the CH7013A is operating in master or pseudo-master clock mode. In slave mode, an
external pixel clock is used instead of the frequency reference, and the division factor is determined by the
XCM[3:0] value. This register contains the lower 8 bits of the complete 9-bit M value.
The PLL N value register determines the division factor applied to the VCO output before being applied to the PLL phase
detector, when the CH7013A is operating in master or pseudo-master mode. In slave mode, the value of ‘N’ is always 1.
This register contains the lower 8 bits of the complete 10-bit N value. The pixel clock generated in a master and pseudomaster modes is calculated according to the equation below:
When using a 14.318 MHz frequency reference, the required M and N values for each mode are shown in the table
below.
The buffered clock output register determines which clock is selected to be output at the buffered clcok output pin,
and what frequency value should be output if a VCO derived signal is output. The tables below show the possible
outputs signals.
