Triple Video Digitizer with Digital PLL
Features
The ISL98001 3-Channel, 8-bit Analog Front-End (AFE)
contains all the functions necessary to digitize analog YPbPr
video signals and RGB graphics signals from DVD players,
digital VCRs, video set-top boxes, and personal computers.
This product family’s conversion rates support HDTV
resolutions up to 1080p and PC monitor resolutions up to
UXGA and QXGA, while the front end's programmable input
bandwidth ensures sharp, clear images at all resolutions.
• 140MSPS, 170MSPS, 210MSPS, and 275MSPS
maximum conversion rates
To maximize performance with the widest variety of video
sources, the ISL98001 features a fast-responding digital PLL
(DPLL), providing extremely low jitter with PC graphics signals
and quick recovery from VCR head switching with video
signals. Integrated HSYNC and SOG processing eliminate the
need for external slicers, sync separators, Schmitt triggers,
and filters.
• 0.35VP-P to 1.4VP-P video input range
• Glitchless Macrovision-compliant sync separator
• Extremely fast recovery from VCR head switching
• Low PLL clock jitter (250psP-P @ 170MSPS)
• 64 intrapixel sampling positions
• Programmable bandwidth (100MHz to 780MHz)
• 2-channel input multiplexer
• RGB 4:4:4 and YUV 4:2:2 output formats
• 5 embedded voltage regulators allow operation from
single 3.3V supply and enhance performance, isolation
Glitchless, automatic Macrovision™-compliance is obtained
by a digital Macrovision detection function that detects and
automatically removes Macrovision from the HSYNC signal.
• Completely independent 8-bit gain/10-bit offset control
Ease-of-use is also emphasized with features such as the
elimination of PLL charge pump current/VCO range
programming and single-bit switching between RGB and
YPbPr signals. Automatic Black Level Compensation (ABLC)
eliminates part-to-part offset variation, ensuring perfect black
level performance in every application.
Applications
• Pb-free (RoHS compliant)
• Digital TVs
• Projectors
• Multifunction monitors
• Digital KVM
The ISL98001 is fully backwards compatible (hardware and
software) with the X980xx family of AFEs.
• RGB graphics processing

When using the ISL98001-275, the value in this
register must need to be changed to achieve the
maximum conversion rate (see “Initialization” on
page 26. This register may also be adjusted to lower
power consumption at slower pixel rates (see the
“Reducing Power Dissipation” on page 26 for more
information).

Technical Highlights
The ISL98001 provides all the features of traditional triple
channel video AFEs, but adds several next-generation
enhancements, bringing performance and ease of use to
new levels.
DPLL
All video AFEs must phase lock to an HSYNC signal,
supplied either directly or embedded in the video stream
(Sync On Green). Historically this has been implemented as
a traditional analog PLL. At SXGA and lower resolutions, an
analog PLL solution has proven adequate, if somewhat
troublesome (due to the need to adjust charge pump
currents, VCO ranges and other parameters to find the
optimum trade-off for a wide range of pixel rates).
As display resolutions and refresh rates have increased,
however, the pixel period has shrunk. An XGA pixel at a
60Hz refresh rate has 15.4ns to change and settle to its new
value. But at UXGA 75Hz, the pixel period is 4.9ns. Most
consumer graphics cards (even the ones with “350MHz”
18
FUNCTION NAME
DACs) spend most of that time slewing to the new pixel
value. The pixel may settle to its final value with 1ns or less
before it begins slewing to the next pixel. In many cases it
rings and never settles at all. So precision, low-jitter
sampling is a fundamental requirement at these speeds, and
a difficult one for an analog PLL to meet.
The ISL98001's DPLL has less than 250ps of jitter, peak to
peak, and independent of the pixel rate. The DPLL generates
64-phase steps per pixel (vs the industry standard 32), for
fine, accurate positioning of the sampling point. The crystallocked NCO inside the DPLL completely eliminates drift due to
charge pump leakage, so there is inherently no frequency or
phase change across a line. An intelligent all-digital loop
filter/controller eliminates the need for the user to have to
program or change anything (except for the number of pixels)
to lock over a range from interlaced video (10MHz or higher)
to UXGA 60Hz (170MHz, with the ISL98001-170).
The DPLL eliminates much of the performance limitations and
complexity associated with noise-free digitization of high
speed signals.

Automatic Black Level Compensation (ABLC™)
and Gain Control
Traditional video AFEs have an offset DAC prior to the ADC,
to both correct for offsets on the incoming video signals and
add/subtract an offset for user “brightness control” without
sacrificing the 8-bit dynamic range of the ADC. This solution
is adequate, but it places significant requirements on the
system's firmware, which must execute a loop that detects
the black portion of the signal and then servos the offset
DACs until that offset is nulled (or produces the desired ADC
output code). Once this has been accomplished, the offset
(both the offset in the AFE and the offset of the video card
generating the signal) is subject to drift - the temperature
inside a monitor or projector can easily change +50°C
between power-on/offset calibration on a cold morning and
the temperature reached once the monitor and the monitor's
environment have reached steady state. Offset can drift
significantly over +50°C, reducing image quality and
requiring that the user do a manual calibration once the
monitor has warmed up.
In addition to drift, many AFEs exhibit interaction between
the offset and gain controls. When the gain is changed, the
magnitude of the offset is changed as well. This again
increases the complexity of the firmware as it tries to
optimize gain and offset settings for a given video input
signal. Instead of adjusting just the offset, then the gain, both
have to be adjusted interactively until the desired ADC
output is reached.
The ISL98001 simplifies offset and gain adjustment and
completely eliminates offset drift using its Automatic Black
Level Compensation (ABLC™) function. ABLC monitors the
black level and continuously adjusts the ISL98001's 10-bit
offset DACs to null out the offset. Any offset, whether due to
the video source or the ISL98001's analog amplifiers, is
eliminated with 10-bit (1/4 of an ADC LSB) accuracy. Any drift
is compensated for well before it can have a visible effect.
Manual offset adjustment control is still available - an 8-bit
register allows the firmware to adjust the offset ±64 codes in
exactly 1 ADC LSB increments. And gain is now completely
independent of offset - adjusting the gain no longer affects the
offset, so there is no longer a need to program the firmware to
cope with interactive offset and gain controls.
Finally, there should be no concerns over ABLC itself
introducing visible artifacts; it doesn't. ABLC functions at a
very low frequency, changing the offset in 1/4 LSB
increments, so it can't cause visible brightness fluctuations.
And once ABLC is locked, if the offset doesn't drift, the DACs
won't change. If desired, ABLC can be disabled, allowing the
firmware to work in the traditional way, with 10-bit offset
DACs under the firmware's control.
Changing the gain does not affect the DC offset, and the
weight of an Offset DAC LSB does not vary depending on
the gain setting.
The full-scale gain is set in the three 8-bit registers
(0x06-0x08). The ISL98001 can accept input signals with
amplitudes ranging from 0.35VP-P to 1.4VP-P.
The offset controls shift the entire RGB input range, changing
the input image brightness. Three separate registers provide
independent control of the R, G, and B channels. Their
nominal setting is 0x80, which forces the ADC to output code
0x00 (or 0x80 for the R (Pr) and B (Pb) channels in YPbPr
mode) during the back porch period when ABLC is enabled.
Functional Description
Inputs
The ISL98001 digitizes analog video inputs in both RGB
and Component (YPbPr) formats, with or without
embedded sync (SOG).
RGB Inputs
For RGB inputs, the black/blank levels are identical and equal
to 0V. The range for each color is typically 0V to 0.7V from
black to white. HSYNC and VSYNC are separate signals.
Component YPbPr Inputs
In addition to RGB and RGB with SOG, the ISL98001 has an
option that is compatible with the component YPbPr video
inputs typically generated by DVD players. While the
ISL98001 digitizes signals in these color spaces, it does not
perform color space conversion; if it digitizes an RGB signal,
it outputs digital RGB, while if it digitizes a YPbPr signal, it
outputs digital YCbCr, also called YUV.
The Luminance (Y) signal is applied to the Green channel
and is processed in a manner identical to the Green input
with SOG described previously. The color difference signals
Pb and Pr are bipolar and swing both above and below the
black level. When the YPbPr mode is enabled, the black
level output for the color difference channels shifts to a mid
scale value of 0x80. Setting configuration register
0x05[2] = 1 enables the YPbPr signal processing mode of
operation.

Input Coupling
Inputs can be either AC-coupled (default) or DC-coupled (See
register 0x05[1]). AC coupling is usually preferred since it
allows video signals with substantial DC offsets to be accurately
digitized. The ISL98001 provides a complete internal
DC-restore function, including the DC restore clamp (See
Figure 7) and programmable clamp timing (registers 0x14,
0x15, 0x16, and 0x23).
When AC-coupled, the DC restore clamp is applied every line,
a programmable number of pixels after the trailing edge of
HSYNC. If register 0x05[5] = 0 (the default), the clamp will not
20
If DC-coupled operation is desired, the input to the ADC will be
the difference between the input signal (RIN1, for example) and
that channel’s ground reference (RGBGND1 in that example).
SOG
For component YPbPr signals, the sync signal is embedded
on the Y channel’s video, which is connected to the green
input, hence the name SOG (Sync on Green). The horizontal
sync information is encoded onto the video input by adding
the sync tip during the blanking interval. The sync tip level is
typically 0.3V below the video black level.
To minimize the loading on the Green channel, the SOG input
for each of the green channels should be AC-coupled to the
ISL98001 through a series combination of a 10nF capacitor
and a 500Ω resistor. Inside the ISL98001, a window
comparator compares the SOG signal with an internal 4-bit
programmable threshold level reference ranging from 0mV to
300mV below the minimum sync level. The SOG threshold
level, hysteresis, and low-pass filter is programmed via
register 0x04. If the Sync-On-Green function is not needed,
the SOGIN pin(s) may be left unconnected.
SYNC Processing
The ISL98001 can process sync signals from 3 different
sources: discrete HSYNC and VSYNC, composite sync on

would be connected to this AFE with a component YPbPr
connection). If the digital VCR is playing an older analog
VHS tape, the sync signals from the VCR may contain the
worst of the traditional analog tape artifacts: headswitching.
Headswitching is traditionally the enemy of PLLs with large
capture ranges, because a headswitch can cause the
HSYNC period to change by as much as ±90%. To the PLL,
this can look like a frequency change of -50% to greater than
+900%, causing errors in the output frequency (and
obviously the phase) to change. Subsequent HSYNCs have
the correct, original period, but most analog PLLs will take
dozens of lines to settle back to the correct frequency and
phase after a headswitch disturbance. This causes the top of
the image to “tear” during normal playback. In “trick modes”
(fast forward and rewind), the HSYNC signal has multiple
headswitch-like discontinuities, and many PLLs never settle
to the correct value before the next headswitch, rendering
the image completely unintelligible.
the HSYNC input, or composite sync from a Sync-On-Green
(SOG) signal embedded on the Green video input. The
ISL98001 has SYNC activity detect functions to help the
firmware determine which sync source is available.
Macrovision
The ISL98001 automatically detects the presence of
Macrovision-encoded video. When Macrovision is detected,
it generates a mask signal that is ANDed with the incoming
SOG CSYNC signal to remove the Macrovision before the
HSYNC goes to the PLL. No additional programming is
required to support Macrovision.
If desired (it is never necessary in normal operation), this
function can be disabled by setting the Sync Mask Disable
(register 0x05 bit 6) to a 1.
The mask signal is also applied to the HSYNCOUT signal.
When Sync Mask Disable = 0, any Macrovision present on
the incoming sync will not be visible on HSYNCOUT. If the
application requires the Macrovision pulses to be visible on
HSYNCOUT, set the HSYNCOUT Mask Disable bit (register
0x05 bit 7).
Intersil’s DPLL has the capability to correct large phase
changes almost instantly by maximizing the phase error gain
while keeping the frequency gain relatively low. This is done
by changing the contents of register 0x1C to 0x4C. This
increases the phase error gain to 100%. Because a phase
setting this high will slightly increase jitter, the default setting
(0x49) for register 0x1C is recommended for all other sync
sources.
Headswitching from Analog Videotape Signals
Occasionally this AFE may be used to digitize signals
coming from analog videotape sources. The most common
example of this is a Digital VCR (which for best signal quality

where GainCode is the value in the Gain register for that
particular color. Note that for a gain of 1V/V, the GainCode
should be 85 (0x55). This is a different center value than the
128 (0x80) value used by some other AFEs, so the firmware
should take this into account when adjusting gains.
The PGAs are updated by the internal clamp signal once per
line. In normal operation this means that there is a maximum
delay of one HSYNC period between a write to a Gain
register for a particular color and the corresponding change
in that channel’s actual PGA gain. If there is no regular
HSYNC/SOG source, or if the external clamp option is
enabled (register 0x13[5:4]) but there is no external clamp
signal being generated, it may take up to 100ms for a write
to the Gain register to update the PGA. This is not an issue
in normal operation with RGB and YPbPr signals.
Bandwidth and Peaking Control
Register 0x0D[3:1] controls a low pass filter allowing the
input bandwidth to be adjusted with three bit resolution
between its default value (0x0E = 780MHz) and its minimum
bandwidth (0x00, for 100MHz). Typically the higher the
resolution, the higher the desired input bandwidth. To
minimize noise, video signals should be digitized with the
minimum bandwidth setting that passes sharp edges.

Table 5 shows the corner frequency of the zero for different
peaking register settings. Values above 0x2 may cause
excessive noise, depending on the quality of the input signal
and the PCB environment.
Offset DAC
The ISL98001 features a 10-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter
(DAC) to provide extremely fine control over the full channel
offset. The DAC is placed after the PGA to eliminate
interaction between the PGA (controlling “contrast”) and the
Offset DAC (controlling “brightness”).
In normal operation, the Offset DAC is controlled by the
ABLC circuit, ensuring that the offset is always reduced to
sub-LSB levels (See“Automatic Black Level Compensation
(ABLC™)” on page 23). When ABLC is enabled, the Offset
registers (0x09, 0x0A, 0x0B) control a digital offset added
to or subtracted from the output of the ADC. This mode
provides the best image quality and eliminates the need for
any offset calibration.
If desired, ABLC can be disabled (0x17[0] = 1) and the
Offset DAC programmed manually, with the 8 most
Table 4 shows the corner frequencies for different register
settings.
Register 0x0D[7:4] controls a programmable zero, allowing
high frequencies to be boosted, restoring some of the
harmonics lost due to excessive EMI filtering, cable losses, etc.
This control has a very large range, and can introduce high
frequency noise into the image, so it should be used judiciously,
or as an advanced user adjustment.

The default Offset DAC range is ±127 ADC LSBs. Setting
0x0C[0] = 1 reduces the swing of the Offset DAC by 50%,
making 1 Offset DAC LSB the weight of 1/8th of an ADC
LSB. This provides the finest offset control and applies to
both ABLC and manual modes.
Automatic Black Level Compensation (ABLC™)
ABLC is a function that continuously removes all offset
errors from the incoming video signal by monitoring the
offset at the output of the ADC and servoing the 10-bit
analog DAC to force those errors to zero. When ABLC is
enabled, the user offset control is a digital adder, with 8-bit
resolution (refer to Table 6).
When the ABLC function is enabled (0x17[0] = 0), the ABLC
function is executed every line after the trailing edge of
HSYNC. If register 0x05[5] = 0 (the default), the ABLC
function will be not be triggered while the DPLL is coasting,
preventing any composite sync edges, equalization pulses,
or Macrovision signals from corrupting the black data and
potentially adding a small error in the ABLC accumulator.
After the trailing edge of HSYNC, the start of ABLC is
delayed by the number of pixels specified in registers 0x14
and 0x15. After that delay, the number of pixels specified
by register 0x17[3:2] are averaged together and added to
the ABLC’s accumulator. The accumulator stores the
average black levels for the number of lines specified by
register 0x17[6:4], which is then used to generate a 10-bit
DAC value.
The default values provide excellent results with offset
stability and absolute accuracy better than 1 ADC LSB for
most input signals.
ADC
The ISL98001 features 3 fully differential, high-speed 8-bit
ADCs.
Clock Generation
A Digital Phase Lock Loop (DPLL) is employed to generate
the pixel clock frequency. The HSYNC input and the external
23
XTAL provide a reference frequency to the PLL. The PLL
then generates the pixel clock frequency that equal to the
incoming HSYNC frequency times the HTOTAL value
programmed into registers 0x0E and 0x0F.
The stability of the clock is very important and correlates
directly with the quality of the image. During each pixel time
transition, there is a small window where the signal is
slewing from the old pixel amplitude and settling to the new
pixel value. At higher frequencies, the pixel time transitions
at a faster rate, which makes the stable pixel time even
smaller. Any jitter in the pixel clock reduces the effective
stable pixel time and thus the sample window in which pixel
sampling can be made accurately.
Sampling Phase
The ISL98001 provides 64 low-jitter phase choices per pixel
period, allowing the firmware to precisely select the optimum
sampling point. The sampling phase register is 0x10.
External Pixel Clock
The ISL98001 can bypass the PLL and use an external clock
signal to drive the ADCs but when this is done the
programmable sample phase is not available. When bits
[5:4] of register 0x13 are set to 11 a clock signal on the
CLOCKINVIN pin is used.
HSYNC Slicer
To further minimize jitter, the HSYNC inputs are treated as
analog signals, and brought into a precision slicer block with
thresholds programmable in 400mV steps with 240mV of
hysteresis, and a subsequent digital glitch filter that ignores
any HSYNC transitions within 100ns of the initial transition.
This processing greatly increases the AFE’s rejection of
ringing and reflections on the HSYNC line and allows the
AFE to perform well even with pathological HSYNC signals.
Voltages given above and in the HSYNC Slicer register
description are with respect to a 3.3V sync signal at the
HSYNCIN input pin. To achieve 5V compatibility, a 680Ω
series resistor should be placed between the HSYNC source
and the HSYNCIN input pin. Relative to a 5V input, the
hysteresis will be 240mV*5V/3.3V = 360mV, and the slicer
step size will be 400mV*5V/3.3V = 600mV per step.

SOG Slicer
SOG Activity Detect
The SOG input has programmable threshold, 40mV of
hysteresis, and an optional low pass filter that can be used to
remove high frequency video spikes (generated by overzealous
video peaking in a DVD player, for example) that can cause
false SOG triggers. The SOG threshold sets the comparator
threshold relative to the sync tip (the bottom of the SOG pulse).
The SOG activity detect bit monitors the output of the SOG
slicer, looking for 64 consecutive pulses with the same period
and duty cycle. If there is no signal on the Green (or Y)
channel, the SOG slicer will clamp the video to a DC level and
will reject any sporadic noise. There should be no false
positive SOG detects if there is no video on Green (or Y).
SYNC Status and Polarity Detection
If there is video on Green (or Y) with no valid SOG signal,
the SOG activity detect bit may sometimes report false
positives (it will detect SOG when no SOG is actually
present). This is due to the presence of video with a
repetitive pattern that creates a waveform similar to SOG.
For example, the desktop of a PC operating system is black
during the front porch, horizontal sync, and back porch, then
increases to a larger value for the video portion of the
screen. This creates a repetitive video waveform very similar
to SOG that may falsely trigger the SOG Activity detect bit.
However, in these cases where there is active video without
SOG, the SYNC information will be provided either as
separate H and V sync on HSYNCIN and VSYNCIN, or
composite sync on HSYNCIN. HSYNCIN and VSYNCIN
should therefore be used to qualify SOG. The SOG Active bit
should only be considered valid if HSYNC Activity
Detect = 0. Note: Some pattern generators can output
HSYNC and SOG simultaneously, in which case both the
HSYNC and the SOG activity bits will be set, and valid. Even
in this case, however, the monitor should still choose
HSYNC over SOG.
The SYNC Status register (0x01) and the SYNC Polarity
register (0x02) continuously monitor all 6 sync inputs
(VSYNCIN, HSYNCIN, and SOGIN for each of 2 channels)
and report their status. However, accurate sync activity
detection is always a challenge. Noise and repetitive video
patterns on the Green channel may look like SOG activity
when there actually is no SOG signal, while non-standard
SOG signals and trilevel sync signals may have amplitudes
below the default SOG slicer levels and not be easily
detected. As a consequence, not all of the activity detect bits
in the ISL98001 are correct under all conditions.
Table 7 shows how to use the SYNC Status register (0x01)
to identify the presence of and type of a sync source. The
firmware should go through the table in the order shown,
stopping at the first entry that matches the activity indicators
in the SYNC Status register.
Final validation of composite sync sources (SOG or
Composite sync on HSYNC) should be done by setting the
Input Configuration register (0x05) to the composite sync
source determined by this table, and confirming that the
CSYNC detect bit is set.
The accuracy of the Trilevel Sync detect bit can be increased
by multiple reads of the Trilevel Sync detect bit. See the
Trilevel Sync Detect section for more details.
For best SOG operation, the SOG low pass filter (register
0x04[4] should always be enabled to reject the high
frequency peaking often seen on video signals.
HSYNC and VSYNC Activity Detect
Activity on these bits always indicates valid sync pulses, so
they should have the highest priority and be used even if the
SOG activity bit is also set.
24
TriLevel Sync Detect
Unlike SOG detect, the TriLevel Sync detect function does
not check for 64 consecutive trilevel pulses in a row, and is
therefore less robust than the SOG detect function. It will
report false positives for SOG-less video for the same
reasons the SOG activity detect does, and should therefore
be qualified with both HSYNC and SOG. TriLevel Sync
Detect should only be considered valid if HSYNC Activity
Detect = 0 and SOG Activity Detect = 1.
If there is a SOG signal, the TriLevel Detect bit will operate
correctly for standard trilevel sync levels (600mVP-P). In
some real-world situations, the peak-to-peak sync amplitude
FN6148.5
September 21, 2010
ISL98001
may be significantly smaller, sometimes 300mVP-P or less.
In these cases the sync slicer will continue to operate
correctly, but the TriLevel Detect bit may not be set. Trilevel
detection accuracy can be enhanced by polling the trilevel
bit multiple times. If HSYNC is inactive, SOG is present, and
the TriLevel Sync Detect bit is read as a 1, there is a high
likelihood there is trilevel sync.
CSYNC Present
If a composite sync source (either CSYNC on HSYNC or
SOG) is selected through bits 3 and 4 of register 0x05, the
CSYNC Present bit in register 0x01 should be set. CSYNC
Present detects the presence of a low frequency, repetitive
signal inside HSYNC, which indicates a VSYNC signal. The
CSYNC Present bit should be used to confirm that the signal
being received is a reliable composite sync source.
SYNC Output Signals
The ISL98001 has 2 pairs of HSYNC and VSYNC output
signals, HSYNCOUT and VSYNCOUT, and HSOUT and
VSOUT.
HSYNCOUT and VSYNCOUT are buffered versions of the
incoming sync signals; no synchronization is done. These
signals are used for mode detection
HSOUT and VSOUT are generated by the ISL98001’s logic
and are synchronized to the output DATACLK and the digital
pixel data on the output databus. HSOUT is used to signal
the start of a new line of digital data. VSOUT is not needed in
most applications.
Both HSYNCOUT and VSYNCOUT (including the sync
separator function) remain active in power-down mode. This
allows them to be used in conjunction with the Sync Status
registers to detect valid video without powering up the
ISL98001.
HSYNCOUT
HSYNCOUT is an unmodified, buffered version of the incoming
HSYNCIN or SOGIN signal of the selected channel, with the
incoming signal’s period, polarity, and width to aid in mode
detection. HSYNCOUT will be the same format as the incoming
sync signal: either horizontal or composite sync. If a SOG input
is selected, HSYNCOUT will output the entire SOG signal,
including the VSYNC portion, pre-/post-equalization pulses if
present, and Macrovision pulses if present. HSYNCOUT
remains active when the ISL98001 is in power-down mode.
HSYNCOUT is generally used for mode detection.
VSYNCOUT
VSYNCOUT is an unmodified, buffered version of the
incoming VSYNCIN signal of the selected channel, with the
original VSYNC period, polarity, and width to aid in mode
detection. If a SOG input is selected, this signal will output
the VSYNC signal extracted by the ISL98001’s sync slicer.
Extracted VSYNC will be the width of the embedded VSYNC
pulse plus pre- and post-equalization pulses (if present).
25
Macrovision pulses from an NTSC DVD source will lengthen
the width of the VSYNC pulse. Macrovision pulses from
other sources (PAL DVD or videotape) may appear as a
second VSYNC pulse encompassing the width of the
Macrovision. See the Macrovision section for more
information. VSYNCOUT (including the sync separator
function) remains active in power-down mode. VSYNCOUT
is generally used for mode detection, start of field detection,
and even/odd field detection.
HSOUT
HSOUT is generated by the ISL98001’s control logic and is
synchronized to the output DATACLK and the digital pixel
data on the output databus. Its trailing edge is aligned with
pixel 0. Its width, in units of pixels, is determined by register
0x19, and its polarity is determined by register 0x18[7]. As
the width is increased, the trailing edge stays aligned with
pixel 0, while the leading edge is moved backwards in time
relative to pixel 0. HSOUT is used by the scaler to signal the
start of a new line of pixels.
The HSOUT Width register (0x19) controls the width of the
HSOUT pulse. The pulse width is nominally 1 pixel clock
period times the value in this register. In the 48 bit output
mode (register 0x18[0] = 1), or the YPbPr input mode
(register 0x05[2] = 1), the HSOUT width is incremented in 2
pixel clock (1 DATACLK) increments (see Table 8).

VSOUT is generated by the ISL98001’s control logic and is

data on the output databus. Its leading and trailing edges are
aligned with pixel 7 (8 pixels after HSYNC trailing edge). Its
width, in units of lines, is equal to the width of the incoming
VSYNC (See the VSYNCOUT description). Its polarity is
determined by register 0x18[6]. Note: This output is not
needed in most applications. Intersil strongly discourages
using this signal - use VSYNCOUT instead.

ISL98001
Crystal Oscillator
TABLE 9. CRYSTAL MULTIPLIER FOR 275MHz PIXEL RATE
An external 22MHz to 27MHz crystal supplies the low-jitter
reference clock to the DPLL. The absolute frequency of this
crystal within this range is unimportant, as is the crystal’s
temperature coefficient, allowing use of less expensive,
lower-grade crystals.
As an alternative to a crystal, the XTALIN pin can be driven
with a 3.3V CMOS-level external clock source at any
frequency between 22MHz and 33.5MHz. The ISL98001’s
jitter specification assumes a low-jitter crystal source. If the
external clock source has increased jitter, the sample clock
generated by the DPLL may exhibit increased jitter as well.
Reset
The ISL98001 has a Power On Reset (POR) function that
resets the chip to its default state when power is initially
applied, including resetting all the registers to their default
settings as described in the Register Listing. The external
RESET pin duplicates the reset function of the POR without
having to cycle the power supplies. The RESET pin does not
need to be used in normal operation and can be tied high.

Reducing Power Dissipation
It is possible to reduce the total power consumption of the
ISL98001 in applications where power is a concern. There are
several techniques that can be used to reduce power
consumption:
• Internal Digital Voltage Regulator. The ISL98001 features
a 3.3V to 1.9V voltage regulator (pins VREGIN and
VREGOUT) for the low voltage digital supply. This regulator
typically sources 100mA at 1.9V, dissipating up to 140mW in
heat. Providing an external, clean 1.8V supply to the VCORE,
VPLL, and VCOREADC will substantially reduce power
dissipation. The external 1.8V supply should ramp up after
(or at the same time as) the digital 3.3V (VD) supply.
The ISL98001 initializes with default register settings for an
AC-coupled, 640x480 RGB input on the VGA1 channel, with
a 24-bit output. An input signal meeting these conditions will
be output on the databus without writing to any of the
configuration registers. The configuration registers will need
to be changed as required to support other resolutions,
different input channels, different sync sources, phase
optimization etc.
• Internal Analog Voltage Regulator. The ISL98001 also
features a 3.3V to 1.9V voltage regulator for the low voltage
analog supply. This voltage appears on the VBYPASS pins.
Unlike the digital low voltage supply, there are no “in” and
“out” connections for this regulator. However, this internal
regulator can only source voltage, and can be effectively
bypassed by driving the VBYPASS pins with an external,
clean 2.0V supply. The external 2.0V supply should ramp up
after (or at the same time as) the analog 3.3V (VA) supply.
The ISL98001-275 requires one additional register write to
operate at their maximum speed. The ISL98001 generates
an internal reference clock equal to the crystal frequency
times the value in register 0x2B (nominally 0x14 or
20 decimal). The typical value of this clock is therefore
500MHz (25MHz*20). The minimum value of this clock is
360MHz.
• Buffering Digital Outputs. Switching 24 or 48 data output
pins into a capacitive bus can consume significant current.
The higher the capacitance on the external databus, the
higher the switching current. To minimize current
consumption inside the ISL98001, minimize bus capacitance
and/or insert data buffers such as the SN64AVC16827
between the ISL98001’s data outputs and the external
databus.
This internal clock needs to be greater than 2 times the PLL
pixel rate. The nominal value of 500MHz therefore supports
pixel rates up to 250MHz. To achieve pixel rates of 275MHz,
or to work with lower frequency crystals, the multiplier in
register 0x2B must be programmed using Equation 2:
⎛ f MAX_PIXELCLK⎞
0x2B value = INT ⎜ 2 -----------------------------------------⎟ + 1
f CRYSTAL ⎠
⎝
(EQ. 2)
For example, if the maximum pixel clock is 263MHz (QXGA),
and the crystal frequency is 24MHz, then register 0x2B
should be set to 1 + INT(2*263/24) = 1 + INT(21.917) =
1 + 21 = 22 = 0x16. Table 9 illustrates the compensation
values required to operate the ISL98001-275 at its maximum
speed of 275MHz. If lower maximum Pixel Clock frequencies
are needed, using the formula above to reduce the value of
register 0x2B will reduce power consumption.
26
• Internal Reference Frequency. The crystal frequency is
multiplied by the value in register 0x2B to generate an
internal high frequency reference clock. For pixel rates up to
160MHz, this internal frequency should be set to 400MHz
±10% for minimum power consumption. For example, for a
33MHz frequency at XTALIN, register 0x2B should be set to
a value of 0x0C to minimize power. For pixel rates greater
than 160MHz, the register 0x2B value should be set using
Equation 2 in the “Initialization” section on page 26.
Standby Mode
The ISL98001 can be placed into a low power standby mode
by writing a 0x0F to register 0x1B, powering down the triple
ADCs, the DPLL, and most of the internal clocks.
FN6148.5
September 21, 2010
ISL98001
To allow input monitoring and mode detection during
power-down, the following blocks remain active:
• Serial interface (including the crystal oscillator) to enable
register read/write activity
• Activity and polarity detect functions (registers 0x01 and
0x02)
• The HSYNCOUT and VSYNCOUT pins (for mode
detection)
EMI Considerations
There are two possible sources of EMI on the ISL98001:
Crystal oscillator. The EMI from the crystal oscillator is
negligible. This is due to an amplitude-regulated, low voltage
sine wave oscillator circuit, instead of the typical high-gain
square wave inverter-type oscillator, so there are no harmonics.
Note: The crystal oscillator is not a significant source of EMI.
Digital output switching. This is the largest potential source of
EMI. However, the EMI is determined by the PCB layout and
the loading on the databus. The way to control this is to put
series resistors on the output of all the digital pins (as our demo
board and reference circuits show). These resistors should be
as large as possible, while still meeting the setup and hold
timing requirements of the scaler. We recommend starting with
22Ω. If the databus is heavily loaded (long traces, many other
part on the same bus), this value may need to be reduced. If
the databus is lightly loaded, it may be increased.
Intersil’s recommendations to minimize EMI are:
• Minimize the databus trace length
• Minimize the databus capacitive loading.
If EMI is a problem in the final design, increase the value of the
digital output series resistors to reduce slew rates on the bus.
This can only be done as long as the scaler’s setup and hold
timing requirements continue to be met.
ISL98001 Serial Communication
Overview
The ISL98001 uses a 2-wire serial bus for communication
with its host. SCL is the Serial Clock line, driven by the host,
and SDA is the Serial Data line, which can be driven by all
devices on the bus. SDA is open drain to allow multiple
devices to share the same bus simultaneously.
Communication is accomplished in three steps:
1)
The Host selects the ISL98001 it wishes to communicate
with.
2)
The Host writes the initial ISL98001 Configuration
Register address it wishes to write to or read from.
3)
The Host writes to or reads from the ISL98001’s
Configuration Register. The ISL98001’s internal address
pointer auto increments, so to read registers 0x00 through
27
0x1B, for example, one would write 0x00 in step 2, then
repeat step three 28 times, with each read returning the
next register value.
The ISL98001 has a 7-bit address on the serial bus. The
upper 6-bits are permanently set to 100110, with the lower
bit determined by the state of pin 48 (SADDR). This allows
two ISL98001s to be independently controlled while sharing
the same bus.
The bus is nominally inactive, with SDA and SCL high.
Communication begins when the host issues a START
command by taking SDA low while SCL is high (Figure 9).
The ISL98001 continuously monitors the SDA and SCL lines
for the start condition and will not respond to any command
until this condition has been met. The host then transmits the
7-bit serial address plus a R/W bit, indicating if the next
transaction will be a Read (R/W = 1) or a Write (R/W = 0). If
the address transmitted matches that of any device on the
bus, that device must respond with an ACKNOWLEDGE
(Figure 10).
Once the serial address has been transmitted and
acknowledged, one or more bytes of information can be
written to or read from the slave. Communication with the
selected device in the selected direction (read or write) is
ended by a STOP command, where SDA rises while SCL is
high (Figure 9), or a second START command, which is
commonly used to reverse data direction without
relinquishing the bus.
Data on the serial bus must be valid for the entire time SCL
is high (Figure 11). To achieve this, data being written to the
ISL98001 is latched on a delayed version of the rising edge
of SCL. SCL is delayed and deglitched inside the ISL98001
for three crystal clock periods (120ns for a 25MHz crystal) to
eliminate spurious clock pulses that could disrupt serial
communication.
When the contents of the ISL98001 are being read, the SDA
line is updated after the falling edge of SCL, delayed and
deglitched in the same manner.
