HD/SD/Graphics Clock and Timing Generator with GENLOCKUsed to generate video and audio clocks and timing signals, and allows multiple devices to be genlocked to an input reference

Overview:

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).
