Description
The GS4911B is a highly flexible, digitally controlled
clock synthesis circuit and timing generator with
genlock capability. It can be used to generate video and
audio clocks and timing signals, and allows multiple
devices to be genlocked to an input reference.
The GS4910B includes all the features of the GS4911B,
but does not offer audio clocks or AFS pulse generation.
The GS4911B/GS4910B will recognize input reference
signals conforming to 36 different video standards and
16 different graphic formats, and will genlock the output
timing information to the incoming reference. The
GS4911B/GS4910B supports cross-locking, allowing
the output to be genlocked to an incoming reference
that is different from the output video standard selected.
The user may select to output one of 8 different video
sample clock rates or 13 different graphic display clock
rates, or may program any clock frequency between
13.5MHz and 165MHz. The chosen clock frequency
can be further divided using internal dividers, and is
available on two video clock outputs and one LVDS
video clock output pair. The video clocks are frequency
and phased-locked to the horizontal timing reference,
and can be individually delayed with respect to the
timing outputs for clock skew control.
Eight user-selectable timing outputs are provided that
can automatically produce the following timing signals
for 35 different video formats and 13 different graphics
formats: HSync, Hblanking, VSync, Vblanking, F sync,
F digital, AFS (GS4911B only), DE, and 10FID. These
timing outputs may be locked to the input reference
signal for genlock timing and may be phase adjusted via
internal registers.
In addition, the GS4911B provides three audio sample
clock outputs that can produce audio clocks up to 512fs
with fs ranging from 9.7kHz to 96kHz. Audio to video
phasing is accomplished by an external 10FID input
reference, a 10FID signal specified via internal
registers, or a user-programmed audio frame
sequence.
The GS4911B/GS4910B is Pb-free, and the
encapsulation compound does not contain halogenated
flame retardant (RoHS Compliant).
This pin will be HIGH if the output is not genlocked to the input.
The GS4911B/GS4910B monitors the output pixel/line counters, as well
as the internal lock status from the genlock block and asserts
LOCK_LOST HIGH if it is determined that the output is not genlocked to
the input. This pin will be LOW if the device successfully genlocks the
output clock and timing signals to the input reference.
If LOCK_LOST is LOW, the reference timing generator outputs will be
phase locked to the detected reference signal, producing an output in
accordance with the video standard selected by the VID_STD[5:0] pins.
OutputSTATUS SIGNAL OUTPUT
Signal levels are LVCMOS/LVTTL compatible.
This pin will be HIGH if:
• No input reference signal is applied to the device; or
• The input reference applied does not meet the minimum/maximum
timing requirements described in Section 3.5.2 on page 46.
This pin will be LOW otherwise.
If the reference signal is removed when the device is in Genlock mode,
REF_LOST will go HIGH and the GS4911B/GS4910B will enter Freeze
mode (see Section 3.2.1.2 on page 41).

By default, after system reset, the audio clock output pins of the device
provide clock signals as follows:
ACLK1 = 256fs
ACLK2 = 64fs
ACLK3 = fs, where fs is the fundamental sampling frequency.
The fundamental sampling frequency is selected using ASR_SEL[2:0].
Additional sampling frequencies may be programmed in the host
interface.
It is also possible to select different division ratios for each of the audio
clock outputs by programming designated registers in the host interface.

NOTE: ACLK1-3 will have a 50% duty cycle, unless fs is selected as
96kHz and the host interface is configured such that one of the three
ACLK pins is set to output a clock signal at 192fs or 384fs. If this is the

In addition to the pre-programmed video standards listed in Table 1-2, custom
output timing signals may be generated by the GS4911B/GS4910B. The custom
timing parameters are programmed in the host interface when VID_STD[5:0] is set
to 62 (see Section 3.10 on page 75).
Setting VID_STD[5:0] to 63 will cause the device to produce an output format with
identical timing to the detected input reference.
If desired, the external VID_STD[5:0] pins may be ignored by setting bit 1 of the
Video_Control register, and the video standard may instead be selected via the
VID_STD[5:0] register of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 80).
Although the external VID_STD[5:0] pins will be ignored in this case, they should
not be left floating.

define a unique H Sync width (see Section 3.10 on page 75).
In Genlock mode the leading edge of the output H Sync signal is nominally
simultaneous with the half amplitude point of the reference HSYNC input. This
timing may be offset using the Genlock Offset registers beginning at address
1Bh of the host interface (see Section 3.2.1.1 on page 38).
By default, after system reset, the polarity of the H Sync signal output will be

V SyncThe V Sync timing signal has a leading edge at the start of the vertical sync
pulse. Its length is determined by the selected video standard (see Table 1-2),
or according to custom timing parameters programmed in the host interface
(see Section 3.10 on page 75).
The leading edge of V Sync is nominally simultaneous with the leading edge of
the first broad pulse.
When in Genlock mode, the output V Sync signal will be phase locked to the
reference VSYNC input. This timing may be offset using the Genlock Offset
registers beginning at address 1Bh of the host interface (see Section 3.2.1.1 on

By default, after system reset, the polarity of the V Sync signal output will be
active LOW. The polarity may be selected as active HIGH by programming the
Polarity register at address 56h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on
page 80).
V BlankingThe V Blanking signal is used to indicate the portion of the video field/frame not
containing active video lines.
The V Blanking signal will be LOW (default polarity) for the portion of the
field/frame containing valid video data, and will be HIGH throughout the vertical
blanking period.
The width of this signal will be determined by the selected video standard (see
Table 1-2), or according to custom timing parameters programmed in the host
interface (see Section 3.10 on page 75).
When in Genlock mode, the output V Blanking signal will be phase locked to the
reference VSYNC input. This timing may be offset using the Genlock Offset
registers beginning at address 1Bh of the host interface (see Section 3.2.1.1 on
page 38).
The default polarity of this signal may be inverted by programming the Polarity
register at address 56h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 80).
NOTE: When VID_STD = 4, 6, or 8, the Vblank output pulse width is 2 lines too
long for field 1 and 1 line too short for field 2 when compared to the digital timing
defined in ITU-R BT.656 and ITU-R BT.799.
F SyncThe F Sync signal is used to indicate field 1 and field 2 for interlaced video
formats.
The F Sync signal will be HIGH (default polarity) for the entire period of field 1. It
will be LOW for all lines in field 2 and for all lines in progressive scan systems.
The width and timing of this signal will be determined by the V Sync parameters
of the selected video standard (see Table 1-2), or according to custom V Sync
timing parameters programmed in the host interface (see Section 3.10 on
page 75). The F Sync signal always changes state on the leading edge of V
Sync.
When in Genlock mode, the output F Sync signal will be phase locked to the
reference FSYNC input. This timing may be offset using the Genlock Offset

F DigitalF Digital is used in digital interlaced standards to indicate field 1 and field 2.
The F Digital changes state at the leading edge of every V Blanking pulse. It will
be LOW (default polarity) for the entire period of field 1 and for all lines in
progressive scan systems. It will be HIGH for all lines in field 2 .
The width and timing of this signal will be determined by the timing parameters
of the selected video standard (see Table 1-2), or according to custom
parameters programmed in the host interface (see Section 3.10 on page 75).
When in Genlock mode, the output F Digital signal will be phase locked to the
reference FSYNC input. This timing may be offset using the Genlock Offset
registers beginning at address 1Bh of the host interface (see Section 3.2.1.1 on
page 38).
The default polarity of this signal may be inverted by programming the Polarity
register at address 56h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 80).
10 Field IdentificationThe 10 Field Identification (10FID) signal is used to indicate the 10-field
sequence for 29.97Hz, 30Hz, 59.94Hz and 60Hz video standards. It will be
LOW for output standards with other frame rates.
The sequence defines the phase relationship between film frames and video
frames, so that cadence may be maintained in mixed format environments.
The 10FID signal will be HIGH (default polarity) for one line at the start of the
10-field sequence. It will be LOW for all other lines. The signal’s rising and
falling edges will be simultaneous with the leading edge of the H Sync output
signal.
Alternatively, by setting bit 4 of the Video_Control register (see Section 3.12.3
on page 80), the 10FID output signal may be configured to go HIGH (default
polarity) on the leading edge of the H Sync output on line 1 of the first field in
the 10 field sequence, and be reset LOW on the leading edge of the H Sync
pulse of the first line of the second field in the 10 field sequence.
When in Genlock mode, the output 10FID signal will be phase locked to the
10FID reference input. If a 10FID input is not provided to the device, the user
must configure the 10FID output using register 1Ah of the host interface (see
Section 3.8.1 on page 68).
For applications involving audio, this signal may be used in place of the AFS
signal if the format selected is appropriate for a 10 field AFS repetition rate, and
the desired phase relationship of audio to video clock phasing coincides with
the desired film frame cadence.
The default polarity of this signal may be inverted by programming the Polarity
register at address 56h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 80).
Please see Section 3.8.1 on page 68 for more detail on the 10FID output signal.
Display EnableThe Display Enable (DE) signal is used to indicate the display enable for
graphic display interfaces.
This signal will be HIGH (default polarity) whenever pixel information is to be
displayed on the display device (i.e. whenever both H Blanking and V Blanking
are in the active video state)
The width and timing of this signal will be determined by the timing parameters
of the selected video standard (see Table 1-2), or according to custom timing
parameters programmed in the host interface (see Section 3.10 on page 75).
The default polarity of this signal may be inverted by programming the Polarity
register at address 56h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 80).

Audio Frame Sync
(GS4911B only)
USER_1~4The GS4911B/GS4910B offers four user programmable output signals. Each
The Audio Frame Sync (AFS) signal is HIGH (default polarity) for the duration of
the first line of the n’th video frame to indicate that the ACLK dividers are reset
at the start of line 1 of that frame. It is defined according to the frame rate of the
video format and the selected audio sample rate programmed via the
VID_STD[5:0] and ASR_SEL[2:0] pins or the host interface.
For example, if the video format is based on a 59.94Hz frame rate and the
audio sample rate clock is 48kHz, then n=5, and the AFS signal will be identical
to the 10FID signal.
By default, the AFS signal is reset by the 10 Field Identification (10FID)
reference input. This feature may be disabled using the Audio_Control register
at address 31h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 80). The AFS
signal may also be reset using register 1Ah of the host interface. With no
reference, the frame divide by “n” controlling the AFS signal will free-run at an
arbitrary phase.
The default polarity of this signal may be inverted by programming the Polarity
register at address 56h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3).
Please see Section 3.8.2 on page 69 for more detail on the AFS output signal.
USER signal is controlled by four timing registers and a polarity select bit. The
timing registers define the start and stop times in H pixels and V lines and begin
at address 57h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 80).
Each user signal is individually programmable and the polarity, position, and
width of each output may be defined with respect to the H, V, and F output
timings of the device. Each output signal may be programmed in both the
horizontal and vertical dimensions relative to the leading edges of H and V
Sync. If desired, the pulses produced may then be combined with a logical
AND, OR, or XOR function to produce a composite signal (for example, a
horizontal back porch pulse during active lines only, or the active part of lines 15
through 20 for vertical information retrieval). Each output has selectable
polarity.
Please see Section 3.8.3 on page 70 for more detail on the USER_1~4 output
signals.
