Functional Description
The RC6100 block diagram is shown in Figure 1. Baseband
composite video may be applied to either the FILTIN or
CVIN input, depending upon whether the lowpass filter cir-
cuit function is desired. Use of the lowpass filter is desirable
whenever the input video signal contains impulse noise or
glitches that can cause jitter on the sync and clock output sig-
nals. Signals that require lowpass filtering should be input at
FILTIN and the lowpass filter output (FILTOUT) should be
connected to the CVIN input. However, video signals that do
not require noise filtering should be input directly at CVIN to
optimize performance. The FILTIN and CVIN inputs can
also receive composite sync or horizontal sync signals at
CMOS or TTL levels.
The input VSYNC is intended for those applications in
which the horizontal and vertical sync signals have already
been separated. In this mode, horizontal sync should be
applied to CVIN and vertical sync applied to VSYNC. These
two signals will be combined to form CSYNC and used by
the timing generator to form HRESET, VRESET, and the
other timing control signals. The VSYNC input is active low
and is held at logic high via an internal bias network. If
VSYNC is left open, there is no effect on signal processing.
The sync separator extracts a composite sync signal from the
composite video, or creates composite sync from separate
horizontal and vertical sync inputs. This signal is available at
the CSYNC output. Composite sync is also used to control
the timing generator, which is the workhorse function of the
RC6100.
The timing generator contains programmable dividers for
generating and controlling the pixel clock. The selection of
pixel clock frequencies is controlled via logic inputs NTSC/
PAL, S0, and S1. Table 1 shows the states of these inputs and
the corresponding clock frequencies. The timing generator
also provides the following output signals: CLAMP, VRE-
SET, FIELDID, HRESET, FHOUT, and CLKDIV2. The
CLAMP output is an active-low rectangular pulse
m
s duration, the origination of which is timed by the rising-
edge of CSYNC; the pulse is active during the horizontal
back-porch interval, as shown in Figure 2. The CLAMP out-
put is also active during the vertical blanking interval. The
VRESET output is a short vertical sync signal that is logic
low for the duration of the scan line that follows the first ser-
ration pulse of the vertical interval, as shown in Figure 3.
HRESET is a horizontal sync signal that is set to logic low
for one period of the pixel clock (CLKOUT); it is also phase
coherent with the pixel clock. FHOUT is a clock signal at the
horizontal frequency. It is normally connected to FHIN and
used as the VCO (feedback) input to the loop phase compar-
ator. The timing of HRESET relative to FHOUT is shown in
Figure 4. (Note: the drawing exaggerates delays t1 and t2.)
The FIELDID output goes to logic low immediately after the
of about 4
