TMC2192
27
P
Ancillary frequency data is used to program the 32 bits of the 
FREQ3-0 registers. ANCFREN and FRV determine how 
ancillary frequency data is used. When ancillary data is not 
present, the TMC2192 assumes FRV = LOW.

Note:
1. The F bit is part of the EAV timing reference code and tracks the F0 bit.
Operating Modes
The field number bits (F
2-0
) from the ancillary data packet 
FIELD word, are used to program the encoder’s field counter 
depending upon the state of the synchronous video flag 
(SVF) and the ANCTREN bit in the control register. 
In the basic operating mode (ANCTREN = LOW), all timing 
is found in the F bit of EAV. F
2-0
 and SVF are ignored and 
the encoder subcarrier synthesizer is reset to the PHASE 
value every eight fields (when the field counter transitions 
from 111 (field 8) to 000 (field 1). 
In the basic mode, ANCFREN and ANCPHEN are typically 
set LOW, ignoring ancillary frequency and phase data. If 
ANCFREN and ANCPHEN are HIGH, the TMC2192 uses 
the incoming ancillary frequency and phase data on a line-
by-line basis.
In genlocking mode (ANCTREN and SVF = HIGH), the 
subcarrier synthesizer is allowed to free run, with phase and 
frequency being set from the ancillary data packet PH
12-0
and FR
31-0
 data. The field counter increments just like it 
does in basic mode.
Field sequence mode (ANCTREN = HIGH and SVF = 
LOW), is the same as basic mode except that the field 
counter is set by the F
2-0
 bits in the FIELD word of ancillary 
data. If ancillary data is not present on a line, the field 
counter will continue to count as it does in basic mode. 
When ancillary data is present, the contents of the field 
counter are loaded with field data (F
2-0
). In this way, the 
TMC2192 may be synchronized with an external source by 
sending field data only once.
