The oscilloscope is triggered from the positive reference edge of the composite sync output. Description of Operation The EL4511 has 3 modes of operation. The first is default mode with pins 1 and 24 connected to ground with 10K. Second is using pins 1 and 24 to provide simple mode control. The third is using the serial port to use a crystal or a clock into XTALN pin 24 to determine the video sync rate and/or more extensive mode control. The EL4511 incorporates the following functional blocks: • Analog I/Ps, processing, and slicing • Signal source and polarity detector • Signal & H rate acquisition block • Advanced sync separator which will detect both conventional and tri-level sync signals • Video lock and level indicators • Reference counter • Computer and control interface Analog I/Ps, Processing, and Slicing The EL4511 has three I/P pins which may be connected to a source of external sync signals. For YPrPb or RGB applications, Y or G should be connected to SYNCIN. For applications with separate horizontal and vertical sync inputs, these should be connected to HIN and VERTIN, respectively. (HIN may also be used for composite sync without video.) Composite video input signals should be connected to SYNCIN. This should be AC coupled from a low impedance source. The input resistance is in the order of 100kΩ. After H lock is obtained, this signal will be “soft clamped” (5kΩ) to approximately 20% of the VCCA1 voltage. In the default mode, the clamping action ensures that the correct slicing levels will be used throughout the field. (Serial Mode) This operation can be modified through Register 9. The soft clamp can be disabled by setting bit 3 to 16 Hi. Setting bit 1 to high will disconnect the input bias network. Once the acquisition process is complete (see below for description), the slice level will be adaptive. The sync signal is measured from sync tip to blanking level; (Tri-level is measured between negative and positive sync tips). The slice level is then set to 50% of these levels. (Serial Mode) It is possible to force the slicing level to remain at the fixed level of 78mV above the sync tip; Register 2, bit 5 is set High to do this. This can help when dealing with signal that have bursts of noise, or formats that have signals that will modify the sync amplitude measurement process. VGA type of signals will be connected to the HIN and VERTIN pins (use HIN for combined H & V). These are DC coupled signals; they will be sliced at a fixed level of approximately 1.4V. These inputs may be any combination of positive and negative polarities; the EL4511 will invert as required to keep the outputs in the correct polarity. (Serial Mode) This polarity correction process may be modified with Register 4 bits 3:0. Signal and Horizontal Rate Acquisition Block On power-up, if both HIN and SYNCIN are enabled; the EL4511 will slice the SYNCIN input at 78mV above the negative sync tip level and monitor the sliced signal for up to 320µs. If a periodic signal within the specified frequency limits is found to be present, this is assumed to be the horizontal frequency. If no signal is found, the EL4511 will switch to slice and monitor the HIN input at a TTL level. The EL4511 will continue to monitor these two signals in turn until an appropriate signal is detected. If only one of HIN and SYNCIN is enabled, the EL4511 will continuously monitor the selected signal until an appropriate signal is detected; this will give a shorter lock time where only one type of signal is used. At this point, the rate acquisition oscillator lock process (to the H rate signal) will begin. FN7009.8 November 12, 2010 EL4511 Video Format Switching The part should be powered down for at least 500µs to reset the internal registers when the input video signal is switched from one video format to another video format. It is possible the part will generate wrong outputs if it is not powered down between two different input video signals. USE OF THE POWER DOWN FUNCTION The Power down pin (pin 4) can be used to hard reset the internal circuit of the EL4511. To disable the internal circuit, just apply a 5V to the power down pin. To enable the internal circuit, just apply a 0V to the power down pin. The SYNCLOCK pin 3 minus edge can be used to generate a 5V 500µs pulse to the PDWN pin 4 to reset the internal digital registers automatically when the video input has a changed video format. VDD R2 10K R1 Sync_Lock pin 20K C1 Q1 MPS3906 0.022u POWERDOWN R3 100K 0 Horizontal Rate Acquisition Oscillator This oscillator is frequency locked to 512 times the horizontal rate. This clock signal generates the timing and gating signals that are employed internally by the EL4511. This operation is entirely automatic and requires no input from the external circuitry or microprocessor. (Serial Mode) It is possible to gain access to this oscillator O/P by changing the assignment of pin 2 (VBLANK) or pin 23 (ODD/EVEN). Register 6, bits 7:6 make this selection; see Table 1 for allocations. TABLE 1. ACQUISITION CLOCK MULTIPLEXER CmuxCtrl ACTION Reg6 b7 b6 0 0 Normal Operation 0 1 Clock multiplexed onto Odd/Even (pin 23) 1 0 Clock multiplexed onto VBLANK (pin 2) 1 1 Reserved 17 (Serial Mode) The oscillator frequency is adjusted at the beginning of the line. At the time of frequency adjustment the clock O/P may have a phase discontinuity. Advanced Sync Separator Once the line rate has been determined, the signal can be analyzed by the advanced sync separator. This has been designed to be compatible with a wide range of video standards, operating with horizontal line rates up to 150kHz. PAL/NTSC/SECAM; HDTV, including bi-level and tri-level sync Standards and computer display syncs. The EL4511 can be programmed to disable the detection of either bi-level or tri-level sync signals or to prioritize the detection of one sync signal type over the other. If the vertical sync input pin, VERTIN, is enabled, the EL4511 will automatically detect whether a valid signal is present on that pin, and incorporate that signal into the algorithm. Otherwise, the input signal on which the horizontal sync was detected will be treated as a composite sync. The sync separator also includes a qualification scheme which rejects high frequency noise and other video artifacts, such as color burst. The horizontal line rate is automatically acquired from the signal (see above.) A digital filter is included in the signal path to remove noise and glitches; this may be removed if the extra delay it incurs needs to be removed. (Serial Mode) Setting register 2, bit 4 to Low will remove the filter. After the signal has been identified and the qualification process is complete, the SYNCLOCK pin will go high and the output waveforms will be enabled. (Serial Mode) These may be enabled all the time by setting register 1, bit 6 to a high state. This can help noisy and varying signals as the revalidation does not have to take place before the signals are available at the outputs, See Figures 4 through 7 for examples of various types of input signal. Part of the signal recognition algorithm uses the number of horizontal lines between vertical pulses. A counter is clocked by the Hclock, this counter is also used to generate vertical timing pulses. (Serial Mode) This count information is available via the serial I/F; this is a 12 bit number. (Serial Mode) The lines per frame count is available at register 8, bits 7:4 for the MSBs; the LSBs are available at register 7, bits 7:0. Register 8, bit 2 indicates that the lines/frame counter has been updated when it is high. This counter also generates the VBLANK waveform. Using a look up table, the default blanking is based on number of lines in the field. (Serial Mode) This operation may be disabled by setting register 3, bit 7 to a low. As this is dependent on application and product usage, this may be modified. Register 3, bits 6:0 will set the number of horizontal lines after VERTOUT leading edge. Register 4, bits 7:4 sets the number of lines before the VERTOUT leading edge. FN7009.8 November 12, 2010 EL4511 Video Lock and Level Indicators Applications Examples Loss of video signal can be detected by monitoring the SYNCLOCK pin 3. This pin goes high once the sync separator has detected a valid sync signal and goes low if this signal is lost for more than 20 successive lines. (Serial Mode) This signal is also available at register 14 pin 5. Other lock acquisition signals available from the system are listed in Table 4. The following examples show how a system may be configured to operate the EL4511. The sync tip amplitude is buffered with a nominal gain of 2.15 to produce a positive, ground-referenced signal on the LEVEL pin. This output can be used for AGC applications. Decode Mode In order to allow more flexibility when operating without a serial interface, the XTAL and XTALN pins are decoded by default to enable four control modes. These modes could be used to over-ride sync type used. See Table 2 for details. (Serial Mode) The all-signal type allowed mode is the same as the default mode when the crystal oscillator is enabled (set bit 6 of Reg9 to 1) except the countsPerField function is disabled in Reg13 and Reg14. The bi-level mode is for bi-level sync only, such as NTSC and PAL. The tri-level mode is for tri-level sync only, such as HDTV signals. The VGA only mode is for computer digital types of signals signal only. TABLE 2. MODE CONTROL USING PINS 1 & 24 The internal pull-up resistors on XTAL & XTALN are very high, these pins should use 10kΩ pull-up/down to operate when not using a crystal. By default, the EL4511 will wake up with Register 9, bit 6 set to Low. This will allow the use of logic levels on pins 1 & 24 to drive register1, bits 5:3 and register 2 bit 0 into the combinations shown in Table 2. (Serial Mode) To define the mode through the serial interface, the register 9, bit 6 must be set to High, the logic levels on pins 1 & 24 are no longer valid; (most likely now being an AC signal for the reference clock).

These pins are tied low, this enables the EL4511 to check for either type of input signal (See Table 2 for details.) 14 PIN 24 XTALN The EL4511 has the advantage that the sync separation is carried out over a wide frequency range without the need to adjust "RSET" as required by earlier generations of sync separators. VCCA1 PIN 1 XTAL In this example, the requirement is for vertical and horizontal timing to be generated from either an NTSC/PAL composite video waveform, or a computer generated image with separate TTL level syncs.

In this example, the requirement is to provide the synchronizing information in a small display device. In this example the incoming sync signals may come from one of three sources. Computer, HDTV Set-top Box or an NTSC/PAL tuner. As there is no Microcontroller connected in this example, there is no need for a XTAL at pins 1 & 24. These pins can be used to force the EL4511 to select the correct operation (and speed up acquisition). Note that a Low Pas Filter is in the NTSC/PAL signal path to reduce noise, glitches and subcarrier. (In signals with bad Croma/Luma gain balance, the subcarrier can extend into the sync slicing level) (See Table 2 for details.)

APPLICATIONS DRAWING 2 19 FN7009.8 November 12, 2010 EL4511 Serial Mode Operation Example: See “Description of Operation” for more details of (Serial Mode). Using a 32.768kHz crystal, the count period is 30.52µs. With a 20ms vertical rate, there will be approximately 656 cycles (290 Hex) in the "counts per field" registers 13 and 14. With a 16.666'ms vertical rate, the count of 546 (222 Hex) will be seen. Using the Reference Oscillator and Counter A counter is provided for measuring the vertical time interval; this counts the clocks at the XTAL pin 1 between vertical pulses. Computer & Control Interface In addition to the mode control pins, the chips default operating mode may be changed by way of a serial interface. This is of the three-wire type, Data, clock and /enable. After the /ENABLE line (pin 5) is taken low, the 16 bits of data on the SDA pin 7 will be clocked into the chip by the clock signal SCL pin 6. See Figure 10. This information is not necessary for the operation of the chip; only for information to the system micro-control. The count value is read from register 14 at bits 7:6 for the MSBs, the LSBs are available in register 13, bits 7:0. Register 14, bit 4 should be a high to indicate that the read operation did not collide with the up-date timing. The first bit of the data determines whether it will be a read or write operation. When set to a "0", a write operation will take place. The following 7 bits, select the register to be written to. Finally, the last 8 bits are the data to be written or read. For a read operation, the first bit is a "1". If the crystal oscillator is enabled through the serial interface (Register 9, bit 6, ENXTAL), the XTAL and XTALN pins will become the crystal input and crystal output pins for the 32.7kHz crystal. It is also possible to drive the XTAL pin with a logic level clock up to a maximum of 50kHz; this signal is only used to measure the vertical rate. In general, when registers entries are changed, the unchanged register bits must have the “Reset Values” entered as defined by Table 5.

To enable the crystal oscillator, register 9, bit 6 must be set to a high. In this example, the requirement is to provide the synchronizing information in a video digitizing interface. This example is very similar to the example in application 2. In this example the incoming sync signals may come from one of three sources. Computer, HDTV source or an NTSC/PAL device. Note that a Low Pass Filter is in the NTSC/PAL signal path to reduce noise, glitches and subcarrier. (In signals with bad Croma/Luma gain balance, the subcarrier can extend into the sync slicing level). As some of the signals in this application were non standard formats, the fixed slice mode is used by setting register 2, bit 5 to a high. Register 1, bit 6 is also set to a high. This forced the EL4511 to provide outputs even when the input signals are not recognized by the internal algorithms. As there is a Microcontroller connected in this example, a 32.768kHz XTAL is connected to pins 1 & 24; this will allow the system microcontroller to gather timing information for VIDEO SIGNALS (RGB) H SYNC V SYNC 75Ω 75Ω VIDEO SIGNALS (HDTV) HDTV COMPONENT SYNCS 75Ω 620Ω 510pF CVBS COMPOSITE VIDEO SIGNAL (CVBS) 75Ω 11 1 15 18 VCCA2 0.1µF GNDA2 VERTIN VERTOUT EL4511 10 4 HOUT PDWN BACKPORCH XTAL 22 21 2 HORIZONTAL TIMING VIDEO CLAMP PLL COAST SDA SCL 20 VERTICAL TIMING 7 6 GNDD2 SDENB 5 17 XTALN GNDA2 VBLANK 24 16 SYNCIN 8 32.768kHz CRYSTAL HIN 13 100nF VCCD 14 9 VCCA1 0.1µF GNDD1 4.7µF VCC VCC + TO MICROCONTROLLER FIGURE 12.
