VP531E/VP551E
NTSC/PAL Digital Video Encoder
Advance Information
Supersedes DS4573 1.4 May 1997 edition
The VP531/VP551 converts digital Y, Cr, Cb, data into
analog NTSC/PAL composite video and S-video signals
The outputs are capable of driving doubly terminated 75
ohm loads with standard video levels.
The device accepts data inputs complying with CCIR
Recommendation 601 and 656. The data is time multiplexed
on an 8 bit bus at 27MHz and is formatted as Cb, Y, Cr, Y
(i.e. 4:2:2). The video blanking and sync information from
REC 656 is included in the data stream when the VP531 is
working in slave mode.
The output pixel rate is 27MHz and the input pixel rate
is half this frequency, i.e. 13.5MHz.
All necessary synchronisation signals are generated
internally when the device is operating in master mode. In
slave mode the device will lock to the TRS codes or the HS
and VS inputs.
The rise and fall times of sync, burst envelope and
video blanking are internally controlled to be within
composite video specifications.
Two 9 bit digital to analog converters (DACs) are used
to convert the digital luminance and chrominance data into
analog signals. An inverted composite video signal is
generated by summing the complementary current outputs
of each DAC. An internally generated reference voltage
provides the biasing for the DACs.

The calculation of the FREQ register value is according to the following formula:FREQ = (226 x fSC/fH) /(number of pixels/line) hex
NTSC value is rounded UP from the decimal number. PAL-B, D, G, H, I and N (Argentina) are rounded DOWN. The SC_ADJ
value is derived from the adjustment needed to be added after 8 fields to ensure accuracy of the Subcarrier frequency. Note the
SC_ADJ value of 9C required for PAL-B, D, G, H, I, is different to the default state of the register.
In NTSC the NCO is reset at the end of every line, this can be disabled by setting the NCORSTD bit in SLAVE1, this allows the
VP531/VP551 to cope with line lengths that are not exactly as specified in REC656.

The serial microprocessor interface is via the bidirectional port consisting of a data (SDA) and a clock (SCL)
line. It is compatible to the Philips I2C bus standard (Jan. 1992
publication number 9398 393 40011). The interface is a slave
transmitter - receiver with a sub-address capability. All
communication is controlled by the microprocessor. The SCL
line is input only. The most significant bit (MSB) is sent first.
Data must be stable during SCL high periods.
8
A bus free state is indicated by both SDA and SCL lines
being high. START of transmission is indicated by SDA being
pulled low while SCL is high. The end of transmission, referred
to as a STOP, is indicated by SDA going from low to high while
SCL is high. The STOP state can be omitted if a repeated
START is sent after the acknowledge bit. The reading device
acknowledges each byte by pulling the SDA line low on the
ninth clock pulse, after which the SDA line is released to allow
the transmitting device access to the bus.
The device address can be partially programmed by the
setting of the pins SA1 and SA2. This allows the device to
respond to one of four addresses, providing for system
flexibility. The I2C bus address is seven bits long with the last
bit indicating read / write for subsequent bytes.
The first data byte sent after the device address, is the subaddress - BAR (base address register). The next byte will be
written to the register addressed by BAR and subsequent
bytes to the succeeding registers. The BAR maintains its data
after a STOP signal.
NTSC/PAL Video Standards
Both NTSC (4-field, 525 lines) and PAL (8-field, 625 lines)
video standards are supported by the VP531/VP551. All
raster synchronisation, colour sub-carrier and burst
characteristics are adapted to the standard selected. The
VP531/VP551 generates outputs which follow the
requirements of SMPTE 170M and CCIR 624 for PAL signals.
The device supports the following:
NTSC,
PAL B, D, G, H, I, N (Argentina).
TRS - Slave mode
The VP531 has an internal timing generator which
produces video timing signals appropriate to the mode of
operation. In the default (power up) slave mode, all timing
signals are derived from the input clock, PXCK, which must be
derived from a crystal controlled oscillator. Input pixel data is
latched on the rising edge of the PXCK clock.
The video timing generator produces the internal blanking
and burst gate pulses, together with the composite sync
output signal, using timing data (TRS codes) from the
Ancillary data stream in the REC656 input signal, (when
TRSEL (bit 0 of GPSCTL register) is set low).
Slave H & V mode
H & V slave mode is enabled by setting the SL_H&V bit in
the GCR register. In this mode the position of the video syncs
is derived from the HS and VS inputs. These GPP pins are
automatically configured as inputs when SL_H&V is set to '1'.
This mode requires 262/263 line syncs in NTSC mode (not
262.5/262.5) and 312/313 syncs in PAL. The VSYNC and
negative edges HSYNC need to be aligned. When
programming the SLH&V bit needs setting first and then the
TRSEL bit in reg FF, otherwise there will be a clash of outputs.
The VSYNC is input to pin 3 and the HSYNC to pin 4 both at
5V TTL levels.
HCNT
To ensure that the incoming data is sampled correctly a 10
bit binary number (HCNT) has to be programmed into the
SLAVE1 and 2 registers. This will allow the device's internal
horizontal counter to align with the video data, each bit
VP531E/VP551E
represents one 13.5MHz cycle. To calculate this use the
formula below:
NTSC/PALM
HCNT = SN + 119 (SN = 0 - 738)
HCNT = SN + 739 (SN = 739 - 857)

HCNT = SN + 127 (SN = 0 - 738)
HCNT = SN + 737 (SN = 737 - 863)
where SN is Rec. 656/601 sample number on which the
negative edge of HSYNC occurs.
SL_HS
A further adjustment is also required to ensure that the
correct Cr and Cb sample alignment. The bits SL_HS1-0
allows for four sampling positions in the CbYCrY sequence,
failure to set this correctly will mean corruption of the colour or
colour being interpreted as luma.
F_SWAP
If the field synchronisation is wrong it can be swapped by
setting this bit.
V_SYNC
When set to a '1' this bit allows an odd/even square wave
to provide the field synchronisation.
Video Timing - Master sync mode
When TRSEL (bit 0 of GPSCTL register) is set high, the
VP531 operates in a MASTER sync mode, all REC656 timing
reference codes are ignored and GPP bits D0 - 4 become a
video timing port with VS, HS and FIELD outputs. The PXCK
signal is, however, still used to generate all internal clocks.
When TRSEL is set high, the direction setting of bits 4 - 0 of
the GPPCTL register is ignored.
VS is the start of the field sync datum in the middle of the
equalisation pulses. HS is the line sync which is used by the
preceding MPEG2 decoder to define when to output digital
video data to the VP531. The position of the falling edge of HS
relative to the first data Cb0, can be programmed in HSOFFML registers.
HS offset
The position of the falling edge of HS relative to the first
data Cb0, can be programmed in HSOFFM-L registers, see
figure 4, this is called the pipeline delay and may need
adjusting for a particular application. This is done by
programming a 10 bit number called HSOFF into the
HSOFFM and HSOFFL registers, HSOFFM being the most
significant two bits and HSOFFL the least significant eight bits.
A default value of 07EH is held in the registers.
The value to program into HSOFF can be looked up in
tables 3 &4:

Table.3 for NTSC
NCK

*HS pulse shortened means that the width of the pulse will be
less than the normal 64 13.5MHz clock cycles.
NCK = number of 13.5MHz clock cycles between the falling
edge of HS and Cb0 (first data I/P on PD7-0) see fig. 4.
Decreasing HSOFF advances the HS pulse (numbers are in
decimal).
The interruption in the sequence of values is because the HS
signal is jumping across a line boundary to the previous line as
the offset is increased. The register default value is 7EH and
this sets Nck to 0, ie. the HS negative edge and Cb0 are coincident in NTSC mode.
Video Blanking
The VP531/VP551 automatically performs standard
composite video blanking. Lines 1-9, 264-272 inclusive, as
well as the last half of line 263 are blanked in NTSC mode. In
PAL mode, lines 1-5, 311-318, 624-625 inclusive, as well as
the last half of line 623 are blanked.
The V bit within REC656 defines the video blanking when
TRSEL (bit 0 of GPSCTL register) is set low. When in
MASTER mode with TRSEL set high the video encoder is still
enabled. Therefore if these lines are required to be blank they
must have no video signal input.
Interpolator
The luminance and chrominance data are separately
passed through interpolating filters to produce output
sampling rates double that of the incoming pixel rate. This
reduces the sinx/x distortion that is inherent in the digital to
analog converters and also simplifies the analog
reconstruction filter requirements.
Digital to Analog Converters
The VP531/VP551 contains two 9 bit digital to analog
converters which produce the analog video signals. The
DACs use a current steering architecture in which bit currents
are routed to one of two outputs; thus the DAC has true and
complementary outputs. The use of identical current sources
and current steering their outputs means that monotonicity is
guaranteed. An on-chip voltage reference of 1.05V (typ.)
provides the necessary biasing, if required this can be
overridden by an external reference.
The full-scale output currents of the DACs is set by
external resistors between the DACGAIN and VSS pins. An
on-chip loop amplifier stabilises the full-scale output current
against temperature and power supply variations.
By summing the complementary luma and chroma DAC
current outputs an inverted composite output is generated.
Note that this signal has a DC offset and therefore usually
needs to be capacitively coupled. The analog outputs of the
VP531/VP551 are capable of directly driving doubly
terminated 75Ω co-axial cable. If it is required only to drive a
single 75Ω load then DACGAIN resistor is simply doubled.

VP531E/VP551E
Luminance, Chrominance and Composite Video Outputs
The Luminance video output (LUMAOUT pin 54) drives a
37.5Ω load at 1.0V, sync tip to peak white. It contains only the
luminance content of the image plus the composite sync
pulses. In the NTSC mode, a set-up level (pedestal) offset can
be added during the active video portion of the raster. The
pedestal is programmed by PEDEN bit in VOCR register.
The Chrominance video output (CHROMAOUT pin 58)
drives a 37.5Ω load at levels proportional in amplitude to the
luma output (40 IRE pk-pk burst). This output has a fixed offset
current which will produce approximately a 0.5V DC bias
across the 37.5Ω load. Burst is injected with the appropriate
timing relative to the luma signal.
The inverted composite video output (COMPOUTB pin
56) will also drive a 37.5Ω loas at 1.0V, sync tip to peak white.
It contains both the luminance and chrominance content of the
signal plus the composite sync pulses.
Output sinx/x compensation filters are required on all
video output, as shown in the typical application diagram, see
figs. 6 & 7.
Genlock using REFSQ input
The VP531/VP551 can be Genlocked to another video
source by setting GENLKEN high (in GPSCTL register) and
feeding a phase coherent sub carrier frequency signal into
REFSQ. Under normal circumstances, REFSQ will be the
same frequency as the sub carrier. But by setting FSC4SEL
high (in GPSCTL register), a 4 x sub carrier frequency signal
may be input to REFSQ. In this case, the Genlock circuit can
be reset to the required phase of REFSQ, by supplying a pulse
to SCSYNC (pin 9). The frequency of SCSYNC can be at sub
carrier frequency, but once per line, or once per field could be
adequate, depending on the application. When GENLKEN is
SET high, the direction setting of bit 6 of the GPPCTL register
is ignored.
PALID Input
When in Genlock mode with GENLKEN set high (in
GPSCTL register), the VP531 requires a PAL phase
identification signal, to define the correct phase on every line.
This is supplied to PALID input (pin 10), High = -135° and low
= +135°. The signal is asynchronous and should be changed
before the sub carrier burst signal. PALID input is enabled by
setting PALIDEN high (in GPSCTL register). When
GENLKEN is high, the direction setting of bit 7 of the GPPCTL
register is ignored
Master Reset
The VP531/VP551 must be initialised with the RESET pin
34. This is an asynchronous active low signal and must be
active for a minimum of 200ns in order for the VP531 to be
reset. The device resets to line 64, start of horizontal sync (i.e.
line blanking active). There is no on-chip power on reset
circuitry.
