the CLC030 has detected the video format being received.
This format detect function involves determination of the
major raster parameters such as line length, number of video
lines in a frame, and so forth. This is done so that information
like line numbering can be correctly inserted. The PLL itself
will have locked in 200 microseconds (HD rates) or less.
However, resolution of all raster parameters may take the
majority of a frame.
SERIAL DATA OUTPUT DRIVER
The
 serial data outputs
 provide low-skew complimentary or
differential signals. The output buffer is a current-mode de-
sign and is intended to drive AC-coupled and terminated,
75
 coaxial cables. The driver automatically adjusts rise and
fall times depending upon the data rate being processed.
Output levels are 800 mV
±
10% into 75
 AC-coupled
loads. The 75
 resistors connected to the SDO outputs
function both as drain-load and back-matching resistors.
Series back-matching resistors are not used with this output
type.
The serial output level is controlled by the value of R
REF
LVL
and R
REF
PRE connected to pin 53 and pin 52, respectively.
The R
REF
LVL resistor sets the peak-to-peak level of the
output signal to the required SMPTE nominal level. The
R
PRE resistor sets the value of a pre-emphasis current
which is active during the rise and fall times of the HD-rate
output signal. The value of R
LVL is normally 4.75 K
,
±
1%. The value of R
PRE is normally 4.75 K
,
 ±
1%. The
voltage present at these pins is approximately +1.3Vdc. The
rise and fall times of this output buffer design automatically
adjust and are different for the HD and SD data rate condi-
tions. The output buffer is quiescent when the device is in an
out-of-lock condition. The output will become active after the
PLL is locked and a valid format has been detected. Sepa-
rate power feeds are provided for the serial output driver:
V
SSSD
, pins 54, 55, and 59; V
DDSD
, pin 51; and V
DDLS
, pin
57.
CAUTION:
 This output buffer is not designed or specified for
driving 50
 or other impedance loads.
POWER SUPPLIES, POWER-ON-RESET AND RESET
INPUT
The CLC030 requires two power supplies, 2.5V for the core
logic functions and 3.3V for the I/O functions. The supplies
must be applied to the device in proper sequence. The 3.3V
supply must be applied prior to or coincident with the 2.5V
supply. Application of the 2.5V supply must not precede the
3.3V supply. It is recommended that the 3.3V supply be
configured or designed so as to control application of the
2.5V supply in order to satisfy this sequencing requirement.
The CLC030 has an automatic,
 power-on-reset
 circuit. Re-
set initializes the device and clears TRS detection circuitry,
all latches, registers, counters and polynomial generators,
sets the EDH/CRC characters to 00h and disables the serial
output. Table 1 lists the initial conditions of the configuration
and control registers. An active-HIGH-true, manual
 reset
input
 is available at pin 64. The reset input has an internal
pull-down device and may be considered inactive when
unconnected.
Important:
 When power is first applied to the device or
following a reset, the
 Ancilliary and Control Data Port
must be initialized to receive data. This is done by toggling
ACLK
 three times.
TEST PATTERN GENERATOR (TPG) AND BUILT-IN
SELF-TEST (BIST)
The CLC030 includes a built-in
 test pattern generator
(TPG)
. Four test pattern types are available for all data rates,
all HD and SD formats, NTSC and PAL standards, and 4x3
and 16x9 raster sizes. The test patterns are: flat-field black,
PLL pathological, equalizer (EQ) pathological and a 75%,
8-colour vertical bar pattern. The pathologicals follow the
recommendations of SMPTE RP 178-1996 regarding the
test data used. The colour bar pattern has optional band-
width limiting coding in the chroma and luma data transitions
between bars. The
 VPG FILTER ENABLE
 bit in the
 VIDEO
INFO 0
 control register enables the colour bar filter function.
The default condition of
 VPG FILTER ENABLE
 is OFF.
The TPG also functions as a
 built-in self-test (BIST)
 which
can verify device functionality. The BIST function performs a
comprehensive go/no-go test of the device. The test may be
run using any of the HD colour bar test patterns or one of two
SD test patterns, either a 270 Mb/s NTSC full-field colour bar
or a PAL PLL pathological, as the test data pattern. Data is
supplied internally in the input data register, processed
through the device and tested for errors using either the EDH
system for SD or the CRC system for HD. A go/no-go indi-
cation is logged in the
 Pass/Fail
 bit of the
 TEST 0
 control
register set. This bit may be assigned as an output on the
multifunction I/O port.
TPG
 and
 BIST
 operation is initiated by loading the code for
the desired test pattern into the
 Test Pattern Select [5:0]
bits of the
 TEST 0
 register. Table 5 gives the available test
patterns and codes. (Recall also the requirement to initialize
the ancilliary data port control logic by clocking
 ACLK
 at
least three (3) complete cycles before attempting to load the
first register address). In the default power-on state,
 TPG
Enable
 appears as bit 7 on the multi-function I/O port. The
TPG is run by applying the appropriate frequency at the
VCLK
 input for the format and rate selected and then setting
the
 TPG Enable
 input on the multi-function I/O port, or by
setting the
 TPG Enable
 bit in the
 TEST 0
 register.
Important:
 If the
 TPG Enable
 input of the I/O port is in its
default mapping and is not being used to enable the TPG
mode, attempting to enable TPG operation by setting bit 6 of
the
 TEST 0
 register will not cause the TPG to operate. This
is because the low logic level at the I/O port input pulldown
overrides the high level being written to the register. The
result is the TPG does not run.
The
 Pass/Fail
 bit in the
 TEST 0
 control register indicates the
test status. If no errors have been detected, this bit will be
set to logic-1 approximately 2 field intervals after
 TPG En-
able
 is set. If errors have been detected in the internal
circuitry of the CLC030,
 Pass/Fail
 will remain reset to a
logic-0. The TPG or BIST is halted by resetting
 TPG Enable
.
The serial output data is present at the SDO outputs during
TPG or BIST operation.
Caution !
 When attempting to use the TPG or BIST imme-
diately after applying power or resetting the device, the TPG
defaults to the 270Mbps SD rate and expects a VCLK clock
frequency of 27MHz as input. This is because the code for
the test pattern in the
 TEST 0
 register is set to 00h (525 line,
30 frame, 27MHz, NTSC 4x3 reference black). Attempting to
apply a VCLK frequency higher than the device expects,
according to the setting in the
 TEST 0
 register, may result in
the PLL locking up while attempting to slew to its maximum
possible frequency. This situation is not recoverable by the
use of the device
 RESET
 input. To recover from this condi-
tion, power must be removed and re-applied to the device.
Proper conditioning of the VCLK input, which does not have
