GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD9980 is a complete, 8-bit, 95 MSPS, monolithic analog  
interface optimized for capturing YPbPr video and RGB  
graphics signals. Its 95 MSPS encode rate capability and full-  
power analog bandwidth of 200 MHz supports all HDTV  
video modes and graphics resolutions up to XGA (1024 × 768  
at 85 Hz).  
With internal Coast generation, the PLL maintains its output  
frequency in the absence of sync input. A 32-step sampling  
clock phase adjustment is provided. Output data, sync, and  
clock phase relationships are maintained.  
The auto-offset feature can be enabled to automatically restore  
the signal reference levels and to automatically calibrate out any  
offset differences between the three channels. The AD9980 also  
offers full sync processing for composite sync and sync-on-  
green applications. A clamp signal is generated internally or  
may be provided by the user through the CLAMP input pin.  
The AD9980 includes a 95 MHz triple ADC with an internal  
reference, a phase-locked loop (PLL), programmable gain,  
offset, and clamp controls. The user provides only 3.3 V and  
1.8 V power supplies and an analog input. Three-state CMOS  
outputs may be powered from 1.8 V to 3.3 V.  
Fabricated in an advanced CMOS process, the AD9980 is  
provided in a space-saving, 80-pin, Pb-free, LQFP surface  
mount plastic package. It is specified over the 0°C to +70°C  
temperature range.  
The AD9980s on-chip PLL generates a sample clock from  
the three-level sync (for YPbPr video) or the horizontal sync  
(for RGB graphics). Sample clock output frequencies range from  
10 MHz to 95 MHz. PLL clock jitter is 9% or less p-p typical at  
95 MSPS.

Analog Input for the Red Channel 0.  
Analog Input for the Green Channel 0.  
Analog Input for the Blue Channel 0.  
Analog Input for the Red Channel 1.  
Analog Input for the Green Channel 1.  
Analog Input for the Blue Channel 1. High impedance inputs that accept the red, green, and blue channel  
graphics signals, respectively. The three channels are identical and can be used for any colors, but colors are  
assigned for convenient reference. They accommodate input signals ranging from 0.5 V to 1.0 V full scale. Signals  
should be ac-coupled to these pins to support clamp operation.  
HSYNC0  
HSYNC1  
Horizontal Sync Input Channel 0.  
Horizontal Sync Input Channel 1. These inputs receive a logic signal that establishes the horizontal timing  
reference and provides the frequency reference for pixel clock generation. The logic sense of this pin can be  
automatically determined by the chip or manually controlled by Serial Register 0x12, Bits [5:4] (Hsync polarity).  
Only the leading edge of Hsync is used by the PLL; the trailing edge is used in clamp timing. When Hsync  
polarity = 0, the falling edge of Hsync is used. When Hsync polarity = 1, the rising edge is active. The input  
includes a Schmitt trigger for noise immunity.  
VSYNC0  
VSYNC1  
Vertical Sync Input Channel 0.  
Vertical Sync Input Channel 1. These are the inputs for vertical sync and provide timing information for  
generation of the field (odd/even) and internal Coast generation. The logic sense of this pin can be automatically  
determined by the chip or manually controlled by Serial Register 0x14, Bits [5:4] (Vsync polarity).  
SOGIN0  
SOGIN1  
Sync-on-Green Input Channel 0.  
Sync-on-Green Input Channel 1. These inputs are provided to assist with processing signals with embedded  
sync, typically on the green channel. The pin is connected to a high speed comparator with an internally  
generated threshold. The threshold level can be programmed in 8 mV steps to any voltage between 8 mV and  
256 mV above the negative peak of the input signal. The default voltage threshold is 128 mV. When connected  
to an ac-coupled graphics signal with embedded sync, it produces a noninverting digital output on SOGOUT.  
(This is usually a composite sync signal, containing both vertical and horizontal sync information that must be  
separated before passing the horizontal sync signal for Hsync processing.) When not used, this input should  
be left unconnected. For more details on this function and how it should be configured, refer to the Sync-on-  
Green section.  
CLAMP  
External Clamp Input (Optional). This logic input may be used to define the time during which the input signal is  
clamped to ground or midscale. It should be exercised when the reference dc level is known to be present on  
the analog input channels, typically during the back porch of the graphics signal. The CLAMP pin is enabled by  
setting the control bit clamp function to 1, (Register 0x18, Bit 4; default is 0). When disabled, this pin is ignored  
and the clamp timing is determined internally by counting a delay and duration from the trailing edge of the  
Hsync input. The logic sense of this pin can be automatically determined by the chip or controlled by clamp  
polarity Register 0x1B, Bits [7:6]. When not used, this pin may be left unconnected (there is an internal pull-down  
resistor) and the clamp function programmed to 0.  
EXTCLK/COAST  
Coast Input to Clock Generator (Optional). This input may be used to cause the pixel clock generator to stop  
synchronizing with Hsync and continue producing a clock at its current frequency and phase. This is useful when  
processing signals from sources that fail to produce Hsync pulses during the vertical interval. The Coast signal is  
generally not required for PC-generated signals. The logic sense of this pin can be determined automatically or  
controlled by Coast polarity (Register 0x18, Bits [7:6]). When not used and EXTCLK is not used, this pin may be  
grounded and Coast polarity programmed to 1. Input Coast polarity defaults to1 at power-up. This pin is shared  
with the EXTCLK function, which does not affect Coast functionality. For more details on EXTCLK, see the  
description in this section.  
EXTCLK/COAST  
PWRDN  
External Clock. This allows the insertion of an external clock source rather than the internally generated, PLL  
locked clock. EXTCLK is enabled by programming Register 0x03, Bit 2 to 1. This pin is shared with the Coast  
function, which does not affect EXTCLK functionality. For more details on Coast, see the description in this  
section.  
Power-Down Control. This pin can be used along with Register 0x1E, Bit 3 for manual power-down control. If  
manual power-down control is selected (Register 0x1E, Bit 4) and this pin is not used, it is recommended to set  
the pin polarity (Register 0x1E, Bit 2) to active high and hardwire this pin to ground with a 10 kΩ resistor.  
REFLO  
REFCM  
REFHI  
Input Amplifier Reference. REFLO and REFHI are connected together through a 10 µF capacitor; REFCM is  
connected through a 10 µF capacitor to ground. These are used for stability in the input PGA (programmable  
gain amplifier) circuitry. See Figure 5.

Description  
External Filter Connection. For proper operation, the pixel clock generator PLL requires an external filter.  
Connect the filter shown in Figure 7 to this pin. For optimal performance, minimize noise and parasitics on this  
node. For more information see the PCB Layout Recommendations section.  
OUTPUTS  
HSOUT  
Horizontal Sync Output. A reconstructed and phase-aligned version of the Hsync input. Both the polarity and  
duration of this output can be programmed via serial bus registers. By maintaining alignment with DATACK and  
Data Outputs, data timing with respect to Hsync can always be determined.  
VSOUT/A0  
Vertical Sync Output. Pin shared with A0, serial port address. This can be either a separated Vsync from a  
composite signal or a direct pass through of the Vsync signal. The polarity of this output can be controlled via a  
serial bus bit. The placement and duration in all modes can be set by the graphics transmitter or the duration  
can be set by Register 0x14 and Register 0x15. This pin is shared with the A0 function, which does not affect  
Vsync output functionality. For more details on A0, see the description in the Serial Control Port section.  
SOGOUT  
Sync-On-Green Slicer Output. This pin outputs one of four possible signals (controlled by Register 0x1D,  
Bits [1:0]): raw SOG, raw Hsync, regenerated Hsync from the filter, or the filtered Hsync. See the sync processing  
block diagram (Figure 8) to view how this pin is connected. (Besides slicing off SOG, the output from this pin gets  
no other additional processing on the AD9980. Vsync separation is performed via the sync separator.)  
O/E FIELD  
Odd/Even Field Bit for Interlaced Video.  
This output will identify whether the current field (in an interlaced signal) is odd or even.  
SERIAL PORT  
SDA  
Serial Port Data I/O.  
SCL  
Serial Port Data Clock.  
VSOUT/A0  
Serial Port Address Input 0. Pin shared with VSOUT. This pin selects the LSB of the serial port device address,  
allowing two Analog Devices parts to be on the same serial bus. A high impedance external pull-up resistor  
enables this pin to be read at power-up as 1, or a high impedance, external pull-down resistor enables this pin to  
be read at power-up as a 0 and not interfere with the VSOUT functionality. For more details on VSOUT, see the  
Outputs section in this table.

Data Output, Red Channel.  
Data Output, Green Channel.  
Data Output, Blue Channel.  
The main data outputs. Bit 7 is the MSB. The delay from pixel sampling time to output is fixed. When the  
sampling time is changed by adjusting the phase register, the output timing is shifted as well. The DATACK and  
HSOUT outputs are also moved, so the timing relationship among the signals is maintained.  
DATA CLOCK OUTPUT  
DATACK  
Data Clock Output. This is the main clock output signal used to strobe the output data and HSOUT into external  
logic. Four possible output clocks can be selected with Register 0x20, Bits [7:6]. Three of these are related to the  
pixel clock (pixel clock, 90° phase-shifted pixel clock, and 2× frequency pixel clock). They are produced either by  
the internal PLL clock generator or EXTCLK and are synchronous with the pixel sampling clock. The fourth option  
for the data clock output is an internally generated 40 MHz clock.  
The sampling time of the internal pixel clock can be changed by adjusting the phase register (Register 0x04).  
When this is changed, the pixel related DATACK timing is also shifted. The Data, DATACK, and HSOUT outputs  
are all moved so that the timing relationship among the signals is maintained.  
POWER SUPPLY  
VD (3.3 V)  
Main Power Supply. These pins supply power to the main elements of the circuit. They should be as quiet and  
filtered as possible.  
VDD (1.8 V to 3.3 V)  
Digital Output Power Supply. A large number of output pins (up to 29) switching at high speed (up to 95 MHz)  
generate a lot of power supply transients (noise). These supply pins are identified separately from the VD pins, so  
special care can be taken to minimize output noise transferred into the sensitive analog circuitry. If the AD9980  
is interfacing with lower voltage logic, VDD may be connected to a lower supply voltage (as low as 1.8 V) for  
compatibility.  
PVD (1.8 V)  
Clock Generator Power Supply. The most sensitive portion of the AD9980 is the clock generation circuitry. These  
pins provide power to the clock PLL and help the user design for optimal performance. The designer should  
provide quiet, noise-free power to these pins.  
DAVDD (1.8 V)  
GND  
Digital Input Power Supply. This supplies power to the digital logic.  
Ground. The ground return for all circuitry on-chip. It is recommended that the AD9980 be assembled on a  
single solid ground plane, with careful attention to ground current paths.

of conditions. Using a Fair-Rite #2508051217Z0 high speed,  
signal chip bead inductor in the circuit shown in Figure 3 gives

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

The AD9980 includes all necessary input buffering, signal dc  
restoration (clamping), offset and gain (brightness and contrast)  
adjustment, pixel clock generation, sampling phase control, and  
output data formatting. All controls are programmable via a  
two-wire serial interface (I2C®). Full integration of these  
sensitive analog functions makes system design straightforward  
and less sensitive to the physical and electrical environment.  
Figure 3. Analog Input Interface Circuit  
HSYNC AND VSYNC INPUTS  
The interface also accepts Hsync and vertical sync period  
(Vsync) signals, which are used to generate the pixel clock,  
clamp timing, Coast and field information. These can be either  
a sync signal directly from the graphics source, or a  
preprocessed TTL or CMOS level signal.  
With a typical power dissipation of less than 900 mW and an  
operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, the device requires  
no special environmental considerations.  
The Hsync input includes a Schmitt trigger buffer for immunity  
to noise and signals with long rise times. In typical PC-based  
graphic systems, the sync signals are simply TTL-level drivers  
feeding unshielded wires in the monitor cable. As such, no  
termination is required.  
DIGITAL INPUTS  
All digital inputs on the AD9980 operate to 3.3 V CMOS levels.  
The following digital inputs are 5 V tolerant (Applying 5 V to  
them does not cause any damage): HSYNC0, HSYNC1,  
VSYNC0, VSYNC1, SOGIN0, SOGIN1, SDA, SCL and CLAMP.  
SERIAL CONTROL PORT  
The serial control port is designed for 3.3 V logic; however, it is  
tolerant of 5 V logic signals.  
INPUT SIGNAL HANDLING  
OUTPUT SIGNAL HANDLING  
The AD9980 has six high-impedance analog input pins for the  
red, green, and blue channels. They accommodate signals  
ranging from 0.5 V to 1.0 V p-p.  
The digital outputs are designed to operate from 1.8 V to  
3.3 V (VDD).  
CLAMPING  
Signals are typically brought onto the interface board with a  
DVI-I connector, a 15-pin D connector, or RCA connectors.  
The AD9980 should be located as close as possible to the input  
connector. Signals should be routed using matched-impedance  
traces (normally 75 Ω) to the IC input pins.  
RGB Clamping  
To properly digitize the incoming signal, the dc offset of the  
input must be adjusted to fit the range of the on-board ADCs.  
Most graphics systems produce RGB signals with black at  
ground and white at approximately 0.75 V. However, if sync  
signals are embedded in the graphics, the sync tip is often at  
ground and black is at 300 mV. Then white is at approximately  
1.0 V. Some common RGB line amplifier boxes use emitter-  
follower buffers to split signals and increase drive capability.  
This introduces a 700 mV dc offset to the signal, which must be  
removed for proper capture by the AD9980.  
At the input pins the signal should be resistively terminated  
(75 Ω to the signal ground return) and capacitively coupled to  
the AD9980 inputs through 47 nF capacitors. These capacitors  
form part of the dc restoration circuit.  
In an ideal world of perfectly matched impedances, the best  
performance can be obtained with the widest possible signal  
bandwidth. The wide bandwidth inputs of the AD9980  
(200 MHz) can continuously track the input signal as it moves  
from one pixel level to the next and can digitize the pixel during  
a long, flat pixel time. In many systems, however, there are mis-  
matches, 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  
The key to clamping is to identify a portion (time) of the signal  
when the graphic system is known to be producing black. An  
offset is then introduced that results in the ADCs producing a  
black output (Code 0x00) when the known black input is  
present. The offset then remains in place when other signal  
levels are processed, and the entire signal is shifted to eliminate  
offset errors.

AD9980  
In most PC graphics systems, black is transmitted between  
active video lines. With CRT displays, when the electron beam  
has completed writing a horizontal line on the screen (at the  
right side), the beam is deflected quickly to the left side of the  
screen (called horizontal retrace) and a black signal is provided  
to prevent the beam from disturbing the image.  
Clamping to midscale rather than ground can be accomplished  
by setting the clamp select bits in the serial bus register. Each of  
the three converters has its own selection bit so that they can be  
independently clamped to either midscale or ground. These bits  
are located in Register 0x18, Bits [3:1]. The midscale reference  
voltage is internally generated for each converter.  
In systems with embedded sync, a blacker-than-black signal  
(Hsync) is produced briefly to signal the CRT that it is time to  
begin a retrace. Because the input is not at black level at this  
time, it is important to avoid clamping during Hsync.  
Fortunately, there is virtually always a period following Hsync,  
called the ‘back porch, where a good black reference is provided.  
This is the time when clamping should be done.  
GAIN AND OFFSET CONTROL  
The AD9980 contains three PGAs, one for each of the three  
analog inputs. The range of the PGA is sufficient to accom-  
modate input signals with inputs ranging from 0.5 V to 1.0 V  
full scale. The gain is set in three 7-bit registers (red gain [0x05],  
green gain [0x07], blue gain [0x09]). For each register, a gain  
setting of 0 corresponds to the highest gain, while a gain setting  
of 127 corresponds to the lowest gain. Note that increasing the  
gain setting results in an image with less contrast.  
The clamp timing can be established by simply exercising the  
CLAMP pin at the appropriate time with clamp source  
(Register 0x18, Bit 4) = 1. The polarity of this signal is set by  
the clamp polarity bit (Register 0x1B, Bits [7:6]).  
The offset control shifts the analog input, resulting in a change  
in brightness. Three 9-bit registers (red offset [0x0B, 0x0C],  
green offset [0x0D, 0x0E], blue offset [0x0F, 0x10]) provide  
independent settings for each channel. The function of the  
offset register depends on whether auto-offset is enabled  
(Register 0x1B, Bit 5).  
A simpler method of clamp timing uses the AD9980s internal  
clamp timing generator. The clamp placement register  
(Register 0x19) is programmed with the number of pixel  
periods that should pass after the trailing edge of Hsync before  
clamping starts. A second register, clamp duration, (Register  
0x1A) sets the duration of the clamp. These are both 8-bit  
values, providing considerable flexibility in clamp generation.  
The clamp timing is referenced to the trailing edge of Hsync  
because, though Hsync duration can vary widely, the back porch  
(black reference) always follows Hsync. A good starting point  
for establishing clamping is to set the clamp placement to 0x04  
(providing 4 pixel periods for the graphics signal to stabilize  
after sync) and set the clamp duration to 0x28 (giving the clamp  
40 pixel periods to reestablish the black reference).  
If manual offset is used, seven bits of the offset registers (for the  
red channel Register 0x0B, Bits [6:0] control the absolute offset  
added to the channel. The offset control provides 63 LSBs of  
adjustment range, with one LSB of offset corresponding to one  
LSB of output code.  
Automatic Offset  
In addition to the manual offset adjustment mode, the AD9980  
also includes circuitry to automatically calibrate the offset for  
each channel. By monitoring the output of each ADC during  
the back porch of the input signals, the AD9980 can self-adjust  
to eliminate any offset errors in its own ADC channels and any  
offset errors present on the incoming graphics or video signals.  
Clamping is accomplished by placing an appropriate charge on  
the external input coupling capacitor. The value of this capacitor  
affects the performance of the clamp. If it is too small, there will  
be a significant amplitude change during a horizontal line time  
(between clamping intervals). If the capacitor is too large, then  
it will take excessively long for the clamp to recover from a large  
change in incoming signal offset. The recommended value  
(47 nF) results in recovering from a step error of 100 mV to  
within ½ LSB in 20 lines with a clamp duration of 20 pixel  
periods on a 85 Hz XGA signal.  
To activate the auto-offset mode, set Register 0x1B, Bit 5 to 1.  
Next, the target code registers (0x0B through 0x10) must be  
programmed. The values programmed into the target code  
registers should be the output code desired from the AD9980  
ADCs, which are generated during the back porch reference  
time. For example, for RGB signals, all three registers are  
normally programmed to Code 1, while for YPbPr signals the  
green (Y) channel is normally programmed to Code 1 and the  
blue and red channels (Pb and Pr) are normally set to 128. The  
target code registers have nine bits per channel and are in twos  
complement format. This allows any value between –256 and  
+255 to be programmed. Although any value in this range can  
be programmed, the AD9980s offset range may not be able to  
reach every value. Intended target code values range from (but  
are not limited to) –40 to –1 and +1 to +40 when ground  
clamping and +88 to +168 when midscale clamping. (Note that  
a target code of 0 is not valid.)  
YPbPr Clamping  
YPbPr graphic signals are slightly different from RGB signals in  
that the dc reference level (black level in RGB signals) for the  
color difference signals is at the midpoint of the video signal  
rather than at the bottom. The three inputs are composed of  
luminance (Y) and color difference (Pb and Pr) signals. For the  
color difference signals it is necessary to clamp to the midscale  
range of the ADC range (128) rather than at the bottom of the  
ADC range (0) while the Y channel is clamped to ground.  
Rev. 0 | Page 11 of 44  
 
AD9980  
Negative target codes are included in order to duplicate a fea-  
ture that is present with manual offset adjustment. The benefit  
that is being mimicked is the ability to easily adjust brightness  
on a display. By setting the target code to a value that does not  
correspond to the ideal ADC range, the end result is an image  
that is either brighter or darker. A target code higher than ideal  
results in a brighter image while a target code lower than ideal  
results in a darker image.  
Sync-on-Green  
The sync-on-green input operates in two steps. First, it sets a  
baseline clamp level off of the incoming video signal with a  
negative peak detector. Second, it sets the sync trigger level to  
a programmable (Register 0x1D, Bits [7:3]) level (typically  
128 mV) above the negative peak. The sync-on-green input  
must be ac-coupled to the green analog input through its own  
capacitor. The value of the capacitor must be 1 nF 20%. If  
sync-on-green is not used, this connection is not required. The  
sync-on-green signal always has negative polarity.  
The ability to program a target code gives a large degree of  
freedom and flexibility. While in most cases all channels will  
be set to either 1 or 128, the flexibility to select other values  
allows for the possibility of inserting intentional skews between  
channels. It also allows the ADC range to be skewed so that  
voltages outside of the normal range can be digitized. For  
example, setting the target code to 40 allows the sync tip, which  
is normally below black level, to be digitized and evaluated.

Figure 4. Typical Input Configuration  
The internal logic for the auto-offset circuit requires 16 data  
clock cycles to perform its function. This operation is executed  
immediately after the clamping pulse. Therefore, it is important  
to end the clamping pulse signal at least 16 data clock cycles  
before active video. This is true whether using the AD9980s  
internal clamp circuit or an external clamp signal. The auto-  
offset function can be programmed to run continuously or on a  
one-time basis (see auto-offset hold, Register 0x2C, Bit 4). In  
continuous mode, the update frequency can be programmed  
(Register 0x1B, Bits [4:3]). Continuous operation with updates  
every 64 Hsyncs is recommended.

REFLO and REFHI are connected to each other through a

A PLL is employed to generate the pixel clock. The Hsync input  
provides a reference frequency to the PLL. A voltage controlled  
oscillator (VCO) generates a much higher pixel clock  
frequency. This pixel clock is divided by the PLL divide value  
(Register 0x01 and Register 0x02) and phase-compared with  
the Hsync input. Any error is used to shift the VCO frequency  
and maintain lock between the two signals.

The stability of this clock is a very important element in  
providing the clearest and most stable image. During each pixel  
time, there is a period during which the signal is slewing from  
the old pixel amplitude and settling at its new value. Then there  
is a time when the input voltage is stable, before the signal must  
slew to a new value (see Figure 6). The ratio of the slewing time  
to the stable time is a function of the bandwidth of the graphics  
DAC and the bandwidth of the transmission system (cable and  
termination). It is also a function of the overall pixel rate.  
Clearly, if the dynamic characteristics of the system remain  
fixed, then the slewing and settling time is likewise fixed. This  
time must be subtracted from the total pixel period, leaving the  
stable period. At higher pixel frequencies, the total cycle time is  
shorter and the stable pixel time also becomes shorter.

varies the current that drives the low-pass loop filter. The

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 AD9980s clock generation circuit to minimize  
jitter. The clock jitter of the AD9980 is 9% or less of the total  
pixel time in all operating modes, making the reduction in the  
valid sampling time due to jitter negligible.

4. The 5-bit Phase Adjust Register. The phase of the generated  
sampling clock may be shifted to locate an optimum samp-  
ling point within a clock cycle. The phase adjust register  
provides 32 phase-shift steps of 11.25° each. The Hsync  
signal with an identical phase shift is available through the  
HSOUT pin. Phase adjust is still available if an external  
pixel clock is used. The COAST pin or internal Coast is  
used to allow the PLL to continue to run at the same  
frequency in the absence of the incoming Hsync signal or  
during disturbances in Hsync (such as from equalization  
pulses). This may be used during the vertical sync period  
or at any other time that the Hsync signal is unavailable.  
The polarity of the Coast signal may be set through the  
Coast polarity register (Register 0x18, Bits [6:5]). Also, the  
polarity of the Hsync signal may be set through the Hsync  
polarity register (Register 0x12, Bits [5:4]). For both Hsync  
and Coast, a value of 1 is active high. The internal Coast  
function is driven off of the Vsync signal, which is typically  
a time when Hsync signals may be disrupted with extra  
equalization pulses.

Four programmable registers are provided to optimize the  
performance of the PLL. These registers are  
1. The 12-Bit Divisor Register. The input Hsync frequencies  
can accommodate any Hsync as long as the product of the  
Hsync and the PLL divisor falls within the operating range  
of the VCO. The PLL multiplies the frequency of the Hsync  
signal, producing pixel clock frequencies in the range of  
10 MHz to 95 MHz. The divisor register controls the exact  
multiplication factor. This register may be set to any value  
between 2 and 4095 as long as the output frequency is  
within range.

jitter, Hsync signal that can be used for mode detection and  
counting Hsyncs per Vsync. The Vsync filter is used to elimi-  
nate spurious Vsyncs, maintain a stable timing relationship  
between the Vsync and Hsync output signals, and generate the  
odd/even field output. The Coast generator creates a robust  
Coast signal that allows the PLL to maintain its frequency in  
the absence of Hsync pulses.  
The inputs of the sync processing section of the AD9980 are  
combinations of digital Hsyncs and Vsyncs, analog sync-on-  
green, or sync-on-Y signals, and an optional external Coast  
signal. From these signals it generates a precise, jitter-free (9%  
or less at 95 MHz) clock from its PLL; an odd-/even-field signal;  
Hsync and Vsync out signals; a count of Hsyncs per Vsync; and  
a programmable SOG output. The main sync processing blocks  
are the sync slicer, sync separator, Hsync filter, Hsync regen-  
erator, Vsync filter, and Coast generator.  
Sync Slicer  
The purpose of the sync slicer is to extract the sync signal from  
the green graphics or luminance video signal that is connected  
to the SOGIN input. The sync signal is extracted in a two step  
process. First, the SOG input is clamped to its negative peak,  
(typically 0.3 V below the black level). Next, the signal goes to a  
comparator with a variable trigger level (set by Register 0x1D,  
Bits [7:3]), but nominally 0.128 V above the clamped level. The  
sync slicer output is a digital composite sync signal containing  
both Hsync and Vsync information (see Figure 9).  
The sync slicer extracts the sync signal from the green graphics  
or luminance video signal that is connected to the SOGIN input  
and outputs a digital composite sync. The sync separators task  
is to extract Vsync from the composite sync signal, which can  
come from either the sync slicer or the Hsync input. The Hsync  
filter is used to eliminate any extraneous pulses from the Hsync  
or SOGIN inputs, outputting a clean, low-jitter signal that is  
appropriate for mode detection and clock generation. The  
Hsync regenerator is used to recreate a clean, although not low

counting Hsyncs per Vsync. The Hsync regenerator has a high  
degree of tolerance to extraneous and missing pulses on the  
Hsync input, but is not appropriate for use by the PLL in  
creating the pixel clock due to jitter.  
As part of sync processing, the sync separators task is to extract  
Vsync from the composite sync signal. It works on the idea that  
the Vsync signal stays active for a much longer time than the  
Hsync signal. By using a digital low-pass filter and a digital  
comparator, it rejects pulses with small durations (such as  
Hsyncs and equalization pulses) and only passes pulses with  
large durations, such as Vsync (see Figure 9).  
The Hsync regenerator runs automatically and requires no  
setup to operate. The Hsync filter requires the setting up of a  
filter window. The filter window sets a periodic window of time  
around the regenerated Hsync leading edge where valid Hsyncs  
are allowed to occur. The general idea is that extraneous pulses  
on the sync input will occur outside of this filter window and  
thus will be filtered out. In order to set the filter window timing,  
program a value (x) into Register 0x23. The resulting filter  
window time is x times 25 ns around the regenerated Hsync  
leading edge. Just as for the sync separator threshold multiplier,  
allow a 20% variance in the 25 ns multiplier to account for all  
operating conditions (20 nS to 30 ns range).  
The threshold of the digital comparator is programmable for  
maximum flexibility. To program the threshold duration, write a  
value (N) to Register 0x11. The resulting pulse width will be  
N × 200 ns. So, if N = 5 the digital comparator threshold will be  
1 µs. Any pulses less than 1 µs are rejected, while any pulse  
greater than 1 µs passes through.  
There are two things to keep in mind when using the sync  
separator. First, the resulting clean Vsync output will be delayed  
from the original Vsync by a duration equal to the digital  
comparator threshold (N × 200 ns). Second, there is some  
variability to the 200 ns multiplier value. The maximum varia-  
bility over all operating conditions will be 20% (160 ns to  
240 ns). Since normal Vsync and Hsync pulse widths differ by a  
factor of about 500 or more, the 20% variability is not an issue.  
A second output from the Hsync filter is a status bit (Reg-  
ister 0x25, Bit 1) that tells whether extraneous pulses are present  
on the incoming sync signal. Extraneous pulses are often  
included for copy protection purposes; this status bit can be  
used to detect that.  
The filtered Hsync (rather than the raw Hsync/SOGIN signal)  
for pixel clock generation by the PLL is controlled by Reg-  
ister 0x20, Bit 2. The regenerated Hsync (rather than the raw  
Hsync/ SOGIN signal) for the sync processing is controlled by  
Register 0x20, Bit 1. Use of the filtered Hsync and regenerated  
Hsync is recommended. See Figure 10 for an illustration of a  
filtered Hsync.

The filter works by examining the placement of Vsync with  
respect to Hsync, and if necessary, slightly shifting it in time.  
The goal is to keep the Vsync and Hsync leading edges from  
switching at the same time, eliminating confusion as to when  
the first line of a frame occurs. Enable the Vsync filter with  
Register 0x14, Bit 2. Use of the Vsync filter is recom-mended for  
all cases, including interlaced video, and is required when using  
the Hsync per Vsync counter. Figure 12 illustrates even/odd

In power-down mode, there are several circuits that continue to  
operate normally. The serial register and sync detect circuits  
maintain power so that the AD9980 can be woken up from  
its power-down state. The bandgap circuit maintains power  
because it is needed for sync detection. The sync-on-green and  
SOGOUT functions continue to operate because the SOGOUT  
output is needed when sync detection is performed by a  
secondary chip. All of these circuits require minimal power to  
operate. Typical standby power on the AD9980 is about 50 mW.

To meet display requirements for low standby power, the  
There are two options that can be selected when in power-  
down. These are controlled by Bits 0 and 1 in Register 0x1E. The  
first is to determine whether the SOGOUT pin is put in high  
impedance or not. In most cases, SOGOUT is not put in high  
impedance during normal operation. The option to put  
SOGOUT in high impedance is included mainly to allow for  
factory testing modes. The second option is to keep the AD9980  
powered up and only put the outputs in high impedance. This  
option is useful when the data outputs from two chips are  
connected on a PCB and the user wants to switch  
AD9980 includes a power-down mode. The power-down state  
can be controlled manually (with Pin 17 or Register 0x1E, Bit 3),  
or completely automatically by the chip. If automatic control is  
selected (0x1E, Bit 4), the AD9980s decision is based on the  
status of the sync detect bits (Register 0x24, Bits 2, 3, 6,  
and 7). If either an Hsync or a sync-on-green input is detected  
on any input, the chip powers up, otherwise it powers down. If  
manual control is desired, the AD9980 includes the flexibility of  
control with both a dedicated pin and a register bit. The dedi-  
cated pin allows a hardware watchdog circuit to control power-  
down, while the register bit allows power-down to be controlled  
by software. With manual power-down control, the polarity of

The Coast input is provided to eliminate this problem. It is an  
HSYNC TIMING  
asynchronous input that disables the PLL input and holds the  
clock at its current frequency. The PLL can run free for several  
lines without significant frequency drift. Coast can be generated  
internally by the AD9980 (see Register 0x18) or can be provided  
externally by the graphics controller.  
The Hsync is processed in the AD9980 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 the data clock (DATACK).  
When internal Coast is selected (Register 0x18, Bit 7 = 0, and  
Register 0x14, Bits [7:6] to select source), the Vsync is used as  
the basis for determining the position of Coast. The internal  
Coast signal is enabled a programmed number of Hsync  
periods before the periodic Vsync signal (Precoast  
Register 0x16) and dropped a programmed number of Hsync  
periods after the Vsync (Postcoast Register 0x17). It is  
recommended that the Vsync filter be enabled when using the  
internal Coast function to allow the AD9980 to precisely  
determine the number of Hsyncs/Vsync and their location. In  
many applications where disruptions occur and Coast is used,  
values of 2 for the Precoast and 10 for Postcoast are sufficient to  
avoid most extraneous pulses.  
Three things happen to Hsync in the AD9980. First, the polarity  
of Hsync input is determined and thus has a known output  
polarity. The known output polarity can be programmed either  
active high or active low (Register 0x12, Bit 3). Second, HSOUT  
is aligned with DATACK and data outputs. Third, the duration  
of HSOUT (in pixel clocks) is set via Register 0x13. HSOUT is  
the sync signal that should be used to drive the rest of the  
display system.  
OUTPUT FORMATTER  
COAST TIMING  
The output formatter is capable of generating several output  
formats to be presented to the 24 data output pins. The output  
formats and the pin assignments for each format are listed in  
Table 11. Also, there are several clock options for the output  
clock. The user may select the pixel clock, a 90° phase-shifted  
pixel clock, a 2× pixel clock, or a fixed frequency 40 MHz clock  
for test purposes. The output clock may also be inverted.  
In most computer systems, the Hsync signal is continuously  
provided 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 Vsync. In  
some cases, Hsync pulses disappear. In other systems, such as  
those that employ composite sync (Csync) signals or embedded  
sync-on-green, Hsync may include 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 attempts to lock to this  
new frequency, and will change frequency by the end of the  
Vsync period. It then takes 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.  
Data output is available as a 24-pin RGB or YCbCr, or if either  
4:2:2 or 4:4:4 DDR is selected, a secondary channel is available.  
This secondary channel is always 4:2:2 DDR and allows the  
flexibility of having a second channel with the same video data  
that can be utilized by another display or a storage device.  
Depending on the choice of output modes, the primary output  
can be 24 pins, 16 pins or as few as 12 pins.

Mode Descriptions  
4:4:4 DDR—This mode puts out full 4:4:4 data on 12 bits of  
the red and green channels thus saving 12 pins. The first  
half (RGB [11:0]) of the 24-bit data is sent on the rising  
edge and the second half (RGB [23:12]) is sent on the  
falling edge. The 4:2:2 DDR data is sent on the blue  
channel, as in 4:2:2 mode.  
4:4:4—All channels come out with their 8 data bits at the  
same time. Data is aligned to the negative edge of the clock  
for easy capture. This is the normal 24-bit output mode for  
RGB or 4:4:4 YCbCr.  
4:2:2—Red and green channels contain 4:2:2 formatted  
data (16 pins) with Y data on the green channel and Cb, Cr  
data on the red channel. Data is aligned to the negative  
edge of the clock. The blue channel contains the secondary  
channel with Cb, Y, Cr, Y formatted DDR 4:2:2 data. The  
data edges are aligned to both edges of the pixel clock, so  
use of the 90° clock may be necessary to capture the  
DDR data.  
RGB [23:0] = R [7:0] + G [7:0] + B [7:0], so RGB [23:12] =

VCO Range Select  
An 8-bit register which represents the silicon revision.  
Two bits that establish the operating range of the clock  
generator. VCORNGE must be set to correspond to  
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. See Table 13  
for 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 01.  
PLL DIVIDER CONTROL  
0x01  
7:0  
PLL Divide Ratio MSBs  
The eight MSBs of the 12-bit PLL divide ratio PLLDIV.  
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 2 to 4095 as long as the output frequency  
is within range. The higher the value loaded in this  
register, the higher the resulting clock frequency with  
respect to a fixed Hsync frequency.  
0x03

Charge Pump Current  
Three bits that establish the current driving the loop  
filter in the clock generator. The current must be set to  
correspond with the desired operating frequency. The  
power-up default value is current = 001.  
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 (see Table 9).  
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 usually produces one or more vertical noise  
bars on the display. The greater the error, the greater  
the number of bars produced.

The 9-bit offset consists of one sign bit plus eight bits.  
If the register is programmed to 130, then the output  
code will be equal to 130 at the end of the clamp  
period. Incrementing the offset register setting by  
1 LSB will add 1 LSB of offset, regardless of the auto-  
offset setting. Values written to this register are not

Sync Separator Threshold  
The 8-Bit MSB of the Red Channel Offset Control.  
Along with the LSB in the following register, there are  
nine bits of dc offset control in the red channel. The  
offset control shifts the analog input, resulting in a  
change in brightness. Note that the function of the  
offset register depends on whether auto-offset is  
enabled (Register 0x1B, Bit 5).  
This register sets the threshold of the sync separators  
digital comparator. The value written to this register is  
multiplied by 200 ns to get the threshold value.  
Therefore, if a value of 5 is written, the digital  
comparator threshold is 1 µs and any pulses less than  
1 µS are rejected by the sync separator. There is some  
variability to the 200 ns multiplier value. The maxi-  
mum variability over all operating conditions is 20%  
(160 nS to 240 ns). Since normal Vsync and Hsync  
pulse widths differ by a factor of about 500 or more,  
the 20% variability is not an issue. The power-up  
default value is 32 DDR.  
If auto-offset is disabled, the lower seven bits of the  
offset registers (for the red channel Register 0x0B, Bits  
[5:0] plus Register 0x0C, Bit 7) control the absolute  
offset added to the channel. The offset control  
provides a 63 LSBs of adjustment range, with one  
LSB of offset corresponding to 1 LSB of output code.  
If auto-offset is enabled, the 9-bit offset (comprised of  
the 8 bits of the MSB register and Bit 7 of the  
following register) determines the clamp target code.

Auto-Offset Hold  
Detect  
Result  
A bit for controlling whether the auto-offset function  
runs continuously or runs once and holds the result.  
Continuous updates are recommended because it  
allows the AD9980 to compensate for drift-over time,  
temperature, etc. If one-time updates are preferred,  
these should be performed every time the part is  
powered up and when there is a mode change. To do a  
one-time update, first auto-offset must be enabled  
(Register 0x1B, Bit 5). Next, this bit (auto-offset hold)  
must first be set to 0 to let the auto-offset function  
operate and settle to a final value. Auto-offset hold  
should then be set to 1 to hold the offset values that  
the auto circuitry calculates. The AD9980s auto-offset  
circuit’s maximum settle time is 10 updates. For  
example, if the update frequency is set to once every  
64 Hsyncs, then the maximum settling time would be  
640 Hsyncs (10 × 64 Hsyncs).

DATA TRANSFER VIA SERIAL INTERFACE  
The two-wire serial interface comprises a clock (SCL) and a bi-  
directional data pin (SDA). 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.  
For each byte of data read or written, the MSB is the first bit in  
the sequence.  
If the AD9980 does not acknowledge the master device during a  
write sequence, the SDA remains high so the master can gener-  
ate a stop signal. If the master device does not acknowledge the  
AD9980 during a read sequence, the AD9980 interprets this as  
end-of-data. The SDA remains high so the master can generate  
a stop signal.  
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.  
Writing data to specific control registers of the AD9980 requires  
that the 8-bit address of the control register of interest be writ-  
ten after the slave address has been established. This control  
register address is the base address for subsequent write opera-  
tions. The base address auto-increments by one for each byte of  
data written after the data byte intended for the base address. If  
more bytes are transferred than there are available addresses,  
the address will not increment and remains at its maximum  
value of 0x2E. Any base address higher than 0x2E does not pro-  
duce an acknowledge signal. Data are read from the control  
registers of the AD9980 in a similar manner. Reading requires  
two data transfer operations:  
The following are the 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),  
communication is 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 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 auto-increments after each byte is transferred.  
The first eight bits of data transferred after a start signal  
comprise a 7-bit slave address (the first seven bits) and a single  
R/W\ bit (the eighth bit). The R/W\ bit indicates the direction  
of data transfer: read from 1 or write to 0 on the slave device. If  
the transmitted slave address matches the address of the device  
(set by the state of the Serial A0 address [SA0] input pin in  
Table 76), the AD9980 acknowledges the match by bringing  
SDA low on the ninth SCL pulse. If the addresses do not match,  
the AD9980 does not acknowledge it.  
To terminate a read/write sequence to the AD9980, 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 gener-  
ating 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.

AD9980  
The bypass capacitors should be physically located between the  
power plane and the power pin. Current should flow from the  
power plane > capacitor > 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.  
PCB LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS  
The AD9980 is a high-precision, high-speed analog device.  
To achieve the maximum performance from the part, it is  
important to have a well laid-out board. The Analog Interface  
Inputs section contains a guide for designing a board using  
the AD9980.  
It is particularly important to maintain low noise and good  
stability of PVD (the clock generator supply). Abrupt changes in  
PVD can result in similarly abrupt changes in sampling clock  
phase and frequency. This can be avoided by careful attention to  
regulation, filtering, and bypassing. It is highly desirable to  
provide separate regulated supplies for each of the analog  
circuitry groups (VD and PVD).  
Analog Interface Inputs  
Using the following layout techniques on the graphics inputs is  
extremely important:  
1. Minimize the trace length running into the graphics inputs.  
This is accomplished by placing the AD9980 as close as  
possible to the graphics VGA connector. Long input trace  
lengths are undesirable because they pick up noise from  
the board and other external sources.  
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 in turn can produce changes in the  
regulated analog supply voltage. This can be mitigated by  
regulating the analog supply, or at least PVD, from a different,  
cleaner, power source (for example, from a 12 V supply).  
2. Place the 75 Ω termination resistors (see Figure 3) as close  
as possible to the AD9980 chip. Any additional trace length  
between the termination resistors and the input of the  
AD9980 increases the magnitude of reflections, which  
corrupts the graphics signal.  
3. Use 75 Ω matched impedance traces. Trace impedances  
other than 75 Ω also increases the chance of reflections.  
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.  
4. The AD9980 has very high input bandwidth (200 MHz).  
While this is desirable for acquiring a high resolution PC  
graphics signal with fast edges, it also means that it  
captures 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.  
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 AD9980. The location of the split should be at  
the receiver of the digital outputs. In this case, it is even more  
important to place components wisely because the current  
loops will be much longer (current takes the path of least  
resistance). An example of a current loop is power plane to  
AD9980 to digital output trace to digital data receiver to digital  
ground plane to analog ground plane.  
5. Due to the high bandwidth of the AD9980, sometimes  
low-pass filtering the analog inputs can help to reduce  
noise. (For many applications, filtering is unnecessary.)  
Experiments have shown that placing a ferrite bead in  
series prior to the 75 Ω termination resistor is helpful in  
filtering excess noise. Specifically, the Fair-Rite  
#2508051217Z0 was used, but an application could work  
best with a different bead value. Alternatively, placing a  
100 Ω to 120 Ω resistor between the 75 Ω termination  
resistor and the input coupling capacitor is beneficial.  
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.  
Power Supply Bypassing  
It is recommended to bypass each power supply pin with a  
0.1 µF capacitor. The exception is 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  
AD9980, since that interposes resistive vias in the path.  
Outputs (Both Data and Clocks)  
Try to minimize the trace length that the digital outputs have to  
drive. Longer traces have higher capacitance and require more  
instantaneous current to drive, which creates more internal  
digital noise. Shorter traces reduce the possibility of reflections.  
Rev. 0 | Page 40 of 44  
 
 
AD9980  
Digital Inputs  
Adding a series resistor of value 50 Ω to 200 Ω can suppress  
reflections, reduce EMI, and reduce the current spikes inside the  
AD9980. If series resistors are used, place them as close to the  
AD9980 pins as possible, (although try not to add vias or extra  
length to the output trace to get the resistors closer).  
Digital inputs on the AD9980 (HSYNC0, HSYNC1, VSYNC0,  
VSYNC1, SOGIN0, SOGIN1, SDA, SCL and CLAMP) were  
designed to work with 3.3 V signals, but are tolerant of 5.0 V  
signals. Therefore, no extra components need to be added if  
using 5.0 V logic.  
If possible, limit the capacitance that each digital output drives  
to less than 10 pF. This is easily accomplished by keeping traces  
short and by connecting the outputs to only one device. Loading  
the outputs with excessive capacitance increases the current  
transients inside of the AD9980 and creates more digital noise  
on its power supplies.  
Any noise that gets onto the Hsync input trace adds jitter to the  
system. Therefore, minimize the trace length and do not run  
any digital or other high frequency traces near it.  
Reference Bypass  
The AD9980 has three reference voltages that must be bypassed  
for proper operation of the input PGA. REFLO and REFHI are  
connected to each other through a 10 µF capacitor. REFCM is  
connected to ground through a 10 µF capacitor. These refer-  
ences are used by the input PGA circuitry to assure the greatest  
stability. Place them as close to the AD9980 pin as possible.  
Make the ground connection as short as possible.
