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).

Output
STATUS SIGNAL OUTPUT
Signal levels are LVCMOS/LVTTL compatible.
This pin will be HIGH if the output is not genlocked to the input.
The GS4911B/GS4910B monitors the output pixel/line counters, as well
as the internal lock status from the genlock block and asserts
LOCK_LOST HIGH if it is determined that the output is not genlocked to
the input. This pin will be LOW if the device successfully genlocks the
output clock and timing signals to the input reference.
If LOCK_LOST is LOW, the reference timing generator outputs will be
phase locked to the detected reference signal, producing an output in
accordance with the video standard selected by the VID_STD[5:0] pins.

REF_LOST
Non
Synchronous
Output
STATUS SIGNAL OUTPUT
Signal levels are LVCMOS/LVTTL compatible.
This pin will be HIGH if:
• No input reference signal is applied to the device; or
• The input reference applied does not meet the minimum/maximum
timing requirements described in Section 3.5.2 on page 45.
This pin will be LOW otherwise.
If the reference signal is removed when the device is in Genlock mode,
REF_LOST will go HIGH and the GS4911B/GS4910B will enter Freeze
mode (see Section 3.2.1.2 on page 40).

The 10FID external reference signal is applied to this pin by the
application layer. 10FID defines the field in which the video and audio
clock phase relationship is defined according to SMPTE 318-M. It is also
used to define a 3:2 video cadence.
NOTE: If the input reference format does not include a 10 Field ID signal,
this pin should be held LOW. See Section 3.4.2 on page 44.
16
HSYNC
Non
Synchronous
Input
REFERENCE SIGNAL INPUT
Signal levels are LVCMOS/LVTTL compatible.
The HSYNC external reference signal is applied to this pin by the
application layer. When the GS4911B/GS4910B is operating in Genlock
mode, the device senses the polarity of the HSYNC input automatically,
and references to the leading edge.
If the user wishes to select one of the pre-programmed video and/or
timing output signals provided by the device, then this signal must
adhere to one of the 36 defined video or 16 different graphics display
standards supported by the device. In this mode of operation, the
HSYNC input provides a horizontal scanning reference signal.
The HSYNC signal may have analog timing, such as from a sync
separator, or may be digital such as from an SDI deserializer. Section 1.4
on page 20 describes the 36 video formats and 16 graphic formats
recognized by the GS4911B/GS4910B.

VSYNC
Non
Synchronous
Input
REFERENCE SIGNAL INPUT
Signal levels are LVCMOS/LVTTL compatible.
The VSYNC external reference signal is applied to this pin by the
application layer. When the GS4911B/GS4910B is operating in Genlock
mode, the device senses the polarity of the VSYNC input automatically,
and references to the leading edge.
If the user wishes to select one of the pre-programmed video and/or
timing output signals provided by the device, then this signal must
adhere to one of the 36 defined video or 16 different graphics display
standards supported by the device. In this mode of operation, the
VSYNC input provides a vertical scanning reference signal.
The VSYNC signal may have analog timing, such as from a sync
separator, or may be digital such as from an SDI deserializer. Section 1.4
on page 20 describes the 36 video formats and 16 graphic formats
recognized by the GS4911B/GS4910B.

FSYNC
Non
Synchronous
Input
REFERENCE SIGNAL INPUT
Signal levels are LVCMOS/LVTTL compatible.
The FSYNC external reference signal is applied to this pin by the
application layer.
The first field is defined as the field in which the first broad pulse (also
known as serration) is in the first half of a line. The FSYNC signal should
be set HIGH during the first field for sync-based references.
If the user wishes to select one of the pre-programmed video and/or
timing output signals provided by the device, then this signal must
adhere to one of the 36 defined video or 16 different graphics display
standards supported by the device. In this mode of operation, the
FSYNC input provides an odd/even field input reference.
The FSYNC signal may have analog timing, such as from a sync
separator, or may be digital such as from an SDI deserializer. Section 1.4

CLOCK SIGNAL OUTPUTS
Signal levels are LVCMOS/LVTTL compatible.
ACLK3
Audio output clock signals.
(GS4911B only)
ACLK1, ACLK2, and ACLK3 present audio sample rate clock outputs to
the application layer.
By default, after system reset, the audio clock output pins of the device
provide clock signals as follows:
ACLK1 = 256fs
ACLK2 = 64fs
ACLK3 = fs, where fs is the fundamental sampling frequency.
The fundamental sampling frequency is selected using ASR_SEL[2:0].
Additional sampling frequencies may be programmed in the host
interface.
It is also possible to select different division ratios for each of the audio
clock outputs by programming designated registers in the host interface.
Clock outputs of 512fs, 384fs, 256fs, 192fs, 128fs, 64fs, fs and z bit are
selectable on a pin-by-pin basis.
NOTE: ACLK1-3 will have a 50% duty cycle, unless fs is selected as
96kHz and the host interface is configured such that one of the three
ACLK pins is set to output a clock signal at 192fs or 384fs. If this is the
case, then a 512fs clock will have a 33% duty cycle.
These signals will be high impedance when ASR_SEL[2:0] = 000b.

1.4 Pre-Programmed Recognized Video and Graphics Standards
Table 1-2 describes the video and graphics standards automatically recognized by
the GS4911B/GS4910B. Any one of the 36 different video formats and 16 different
graphic display formats listed below can be applied to the GS4911B/GS4910B and
automatically detected by the reference format detector. Moreover, each format,
with the exception of VID_STD[5:0] = 2, 52, 53, or 54, is available for output on the
timing output pins by setting the VID_STD[5:0] pins.
In addition to the pre-programmed video standards listed in Table 1-2, custom
output timing signals may be generated by the GS4911B/GS4910B. The custom
timing parameters are programmed in the host interface when VID_STD[5:0] is set
to 62 (see Section 3.10 on page 74).
Setting VID_STD[5:0] to 63 will cause the device to produce an output format with
identical timing to the detected input reference.
If desired, the external VID_STD[5:0] pins may be ignored by setting bit 1 of the
Video_Control register, and the video standard may instead be selected via the
VID_STD[5:0] register of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79).
Although the external VID_STD[5:0] pins will be ignored in this case, they should
not be left floating.

‡ When VID_STD = 4, 6, or 8, the Vblanking output pulse width is 2 lines too long for field 1 and 1 line too short for field 2 when compared to the digital timing defined in ITU-R BT.656 and
ITU-R BT.799.
† The LOCK_LOST output signal will be unstable when attempting to genlock to an input reference corresponding to VID_STD[5:0] = 51, although the device does achieve lock. To correct
this, the user can program register address 27h = 38d.
* VID_STD[5:0] = 2, 52, 53, and 54 are recognized as input references only. To generate clock and timing signals for these standards use the device’s custom format capability.

1.5 Output Timing Signals
Table 1-3 describes the output timing signals available to the user via pins
TIMING_OUT_1 to TIMING_OUT_8. The user may output any of the signals listed
below on each pin by programming the Output_Select registers beginning at
address 43h of the host interface.
s
Table 1-3: Output Timing Signals
Signal Name
Description
Default Output Pin
H Sync
The H Sync signal has a leading edge at the start of the horizontal sync pulse.
Its length is determined by the selected video standard (see Table 1-2), or
according to custom timing parameters programmed in the host interface (see
Section 3.10 on page 74).
TIMING_OUT_1
The width of the H Sync output pulse is determined by the selected video
standard. Table 1-2 lists the H Sync width (in clocks) of each pre-programmed
video and graphics standard recognized by the GS4911B/GS4910B. Custom
video timing parameters may also be programmed in the host interface to
define a unique H Sync width (see Section 3.10 on page 74).
In Genlock mode the leading edge of the output H Sync signal is nominally
simultaneous with the half amplitude point of the reference HSYNC input. This
timing may be offset using the Genlock Offset registers beginning at address
1Bh of the host interface (see Section 3.2.1.1 on page 37).
By default, after system reset, the polarity of the H Sync signal output will be
active LOW. The polarity may be selected as active HIGH by programming the
Polarity register at address 56h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on
page 79).
H Blanking
The H Blanking signal is used to indicate the portion of the video line not
containing active video data.
TIMING_OUT_2
The H Blanking signal will be LOW (default polarity) for the portion of the video
line containing valid video samples. The signal will be LOW at the first valid
pixel of the line, and HIGH after the last valid pixel of the line.
The H Blanking signal remains HIGH throughout the horizontal blanking period.
The width of this signal will be determined by the selected video standard (see
Table 1-2), or according to custom timing parameters programmed in the host
interface (see Section 3.10 on page 74).
When in Genlock mode, the output H Blanking signal will be phase locked to the
reference HSYNC input. This timing may be offset using the Genlock Offset
registers beginning at address 1Bh of the host interface (see Section 3.2.1.1 on
page 37).
The default polarity of this signal may be inverted by programming the Polarity
register at address 56h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79).

Default Output Pin
V Sync
The V Sync timing signal has a leading edge at the start of the vertical sync
pulse. Its length is determined by the selected video standard (see Table 1-2),
or according to custom timing parameters programmed in the host interface
(see Section 3.10 on page 74).
TIMING_OUT_3
The leading edge of V Sync is nominally simultaneous with the leading edge of
the first broad pulse.
When in Genlock mode, the output V Sync signal will be phase locked to the
reference VSYNC input. This timing may be offset using the Genlock Offset
registers beginning at address 1Bh of the host interface (see Section 3.2.1.1 on
page 37).
By default, after system reset, the polarity of the V Sync signal output will be
active LOW. The polarity may be selected as active HIGH by programming the
Polarity register at address 56h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on
page 79).
V Blanking
The V Blanking signal is used to indicate the portion of the video field/frame not
containing active video lines.
TIMING_OUT_4
The V Blanking signal will be LOW (default polarity) for the portion of the
field/frame containing valid video data, and will be HIGH throughout the vertical
blanking period.
The width of this signal will be determined by the selected video standard (see
Table 1-2), or according to custom timing parameters programmed in the host
interface (see Section 3.10 on page 74).
When in Genlock mode, the output V Blanking signal will be phase locked to the
reference VSYNC input. This timing may be offset using the Genlock Offset
registers beginning at address 1Bh of the host interface (see Section 3.2.1.1 on
page 37).
The default polarity of this signal may be inverted by programming the Polarity
register at address 56h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79).
NOTE: When VID_STD = 4, 6, or 8, the Vblank output pulse width is 2 lines too
long for field 1 and 1 line too short for field 2 when compared to the digital timing
defined in ITU-R BT.656 and ITU-R BT.799.
F Sync
The F Sync signal is used to indicate field 1 and field 2 for interlaced video
formats.
TIMING_OUT_5
The F Sync signal will be HIGH (default polarity) for the entire period of field 1. It
will be LOW for all lines in field 2 and for all lines in progressive scan systems.
The width and timing of this signal will be determined by the V Sync parameters
of the selected video standard (see Table 1-2), or according to custom V Sync
timing parameters programmed in the host interface (see Section 3.10 on
page 74). The F Sync signal always changes state on the leading edge of V
Sync.
When in Genlock mode, the output F Sync signal will be phase locked to the
reference FSYNC input. This timing may be offset using the Genlock Offset
registers beginning at address 1Bh of the host interface (see Section 3.2.1.1 on
page 37).
The default polarity of this signal may be inverted by programming the Polarity
register at address 56h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79).

Default Output Pin
F Digital
F Digital is used in digital interlaced standards to indicate field 1 and field 2.
TIMING_OUT_6
The F Digital changes state at the leading edge of every V Blanking pulse. It will
be LOW (default polarity) for the entire period of field 1 and for all lines in
progressive scan systems. It will be HIGH for all lines in field 2 .
The width and timing of this signal will be determined by the timing parameters
of the selected video standard (see Table 1-2), or according to custom
parameters programmed in the host interface (see Section 3.10 on page 74).
When in Genlock mode, the output F Digital signal will be phase locked to the
reference FSYNC input. This timing may be offset using the Genlock Offset
registers beginning at address 1Bh of the host interface (see Section 3.2.1.1 on
page 37).
The default polarity of this signal may be inverted by programming the Polarity
register at address 56h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79).
10 Field Identification
The 10 Field Identification (10FID) signal is used to indicate the 10-field
sequence for 29.97Hz, 30Hz, 59.94Hz and 60Hz video standards. It will be
LOW for output standards with other frame rates.
TIMING_OUT_7
The sequence defines the phase relationship between film frames and video
frames, so that cadence may be maintained in mixed format environments.
The 10FID signal will be HIGH (default polarity) for one line at the start of the
10-field sequence. It will be LOW for all other lines. The signal’s rising and
falling edges will be simultaneous with the leading edge of the H Sync output
signal.
Alternatively, by setting bit 4 of the Video_Control register (see Section 3.12.3
on page 79), the 10FID output signal may be configured to go HIGH (default
polarity) on the leading edge of the H Sync output on line 1 of the first field in
the 10 field sequence, and be reset LOW on the leading edge of the H Sync
pulse of the first line of the second field in the 10 field sequence.
When in Genlock mode, the output 10FID signal will be phase locked to the
10FID reference input. If a 10FID input is not provided to the device, the user
must configure the 10FID output using register 1Ah of the host interface (see
Section 3.8.1 on page 67).
For applications involving audio, this signal may be used in place of the AFS
signal if the format selected is appropriate for a 10 field AFS repetition rate, and
the desired phase relationship of audio to video clock phasing coincides with
the desired film frame cadence.
The default polarity of this signal may be inverted by programming the Polarity
register at address 56h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79).
Please see Section 3.8.1 on page 67 for more detail on the 10FID output signal.
Display Enable
The Display Enable (DE) signal is used to indicate the display enable for
graphic display interfaces.
TIMING_OUT_8
This signal will be HIGH (default polarity) whenever pixel information is to be
displayed on the display device (i.e. whenever both H Blanking and V Blanking
are in the active video state)
The width and timing of this signal will be determined by the timing parameters
of the selected video standard (see Table 1-2), or according to custom timing
parameters programmed in the host interface (see Section 3.10 on page 74).
The default polarity of this signal may be inverted by programming the Polarity
register at address 56h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79).

GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
Table 1-3: Output Timing Signals (Continued)
Signal Name
Description
Default Output Pin
Audio Frame Sync
The Audio Frame Sync (AFS) signal is HIGH (default polarity) for the duration of
the first line of the n’th video frame to indicate that the ACLK dividers are reset
at the start of line 1 of that frame. It is defined according to the frame rate of the
video format and the selected audio sample rate programmed via the
VID_STD[5:0] and ASR_SEL[2:0] pins or the host interface.
–
(GS4911B only)
For example, if the video format is based on a 59.94Hz frame rate and the
audio sample rate clock is 48kHz, then n=5, and the AFS signal will be identical
to the 10FID signal.
By default, the AFS signal is reset by the 10 Field Identification (10FID)
reference input. This feature may be disabled using the Audio_Control register
at address 31h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79). The AFS
signal may also be reset using register 1Ah of the host interface. With no
reference, the frame divide by “n” controlling the AFS signal will free-run at an
arbitrary phase.
The default polarity of this signal may be inverted by programming the Polarity
register at address 56h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3).
Please see Section 3.8.2 on page 68 for more detail on the AFS output signal.
USER_1~4
The GS4911B/GS4910B offers four user programmable output signals. Each
USER signal is controlled by four timing registers and a polarity select bit. The
timing registers define the start and stop times in H pixels and V lines and begin
at address 57h of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79).
–
Each user signal is individually programmable and the polarity, position, and
width of each output may be defined with respect to the H, V, and F output
timings of the device. Each output signal may be programmed in both the
horizontal and vertical dimensions relative to the leading edges of H and V
Sync. If desired, the pulses produced may then be combined with a logical
AND, OR, or XOR function to produce a composite signal (for example, a
horizontal back porch pulse during active lines only, or the active part of lines 15
through 20 for vertical information retrieval). Each output has selectable
polarity.
Please see Section 3.8.3 on page 69 for more detail on the USER_1~4 output
signals.

3. Detailed Description
3.1 Functional Overview
The GS4911B/GS4910B is a highly flexible, digitally controlled clock synthesis
circuit and timing generator with genlock capability.
The device has two main modes of operation: Genlock mode and Free Run mode.
In Genlock mode, the video clock and timing outputs, will be frequency and phase
locked to the detected reference input signal. In Free Run mode, the occurrence of
all frequencies is based on a 27MHz external crystal reference.
The GS4911B/GS4910B will recognize input reference signals conforming to 36
different video standards and 16 different graphic formats. It supports
cross-locking, allowing the output to be genlocked to an incoming reference that is
different from the output video standard selected.
When the device is in Genlock mode and the input reference is removed, the
GS4911B/GS4910B will enter Freeze mode. In this mode, the output clock and
timing signals will maintain their previously genlocked phase and frequency to
within +/- 2ppm.
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 may be further internally
divided, and is available on two video clock outputs and one LVDS video clock
output pair. The video clocks may also be individually phase 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. Alternatively, custom output timing signals may be
programmed in the host interface.
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 either an external 10FID input reference, a
10FID signal specified via internal registers, or a user-programmed audio frame
sequence.
3.2 Modes of Operation
The GS4911B/GS4910B will operate in either Genlock mode or Free Run mode
depending on the setting of the GENLOCK pin. These two modes are described in
Section 3.2.1 on page 37 and Section 3.2.2 on page 40 respectively.
If desired, the external GENLOCK pin may be ignored by setting bit 5 of the
Genlock_Control register (address 16h) so that genlock can instead be controlled
via the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79). Although the external
GENLOCK pin will be ignored in this case, it should not be left floating.

GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
3.2.1 Genlock Mode
When the application layer sets the GENLOCK pin LOW and the device has
successfully genlocked the outputs to the input reference, the GS4911B/GS4910B
will enter Genlock mode. In this mode, all clock and timing generator outputs will
be frequency and phase locked to the detected input reference signal. The PCLK
outputs will be locked to the H reference.
When in Genlock mode, the output clock and timing signals are generated using
the applied reference signal. The 27MHz crystal reference is necessary for
operation; however, neither crystal accuracy nor changes in crystal frequency (due
to a shift in operating temperature) will affect the output signals. For example, the
output signals will be generated with the same accuracy whether the 27MHz
reference crystal has an accuracy of 10ppm or 100ppm.
The GS4911B/GS4910B supports cross-locking, allowing the outputs to be
genlocked to an incoming reference that is different from the output video standard
selected (see Section 3.6 on page 50).
NOTE: The user must apply a reference to the input of the device prior to setting
GENLOCK = LOW. If the GENLOCK pin is set LOW and no reference signal is
present, the generated clock and timing outputs of the device may correspond to
the internal default settings of the chip until a reference is applied.
3.2.1.1 Genlock Timing Offset
By default, the phase of the clock and timing out signals is genlocked to the input
reference signal. These output signals may be phase adjusted with respect to the
input reference by programming the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on
page 79). Offsets are separately programmable in terms of clock phase, horizontal
phase, and vertical phase (i.e. fractions of a pixel, pixels, and lines).
Genlock timing offsets can be used to co-time the output of a piece of equipment
containing the GS4911B/GS4910B with the outputs of other equipment at different
locations. The signal leaving the piece of equipment containing the
GS4911B/GS4910B may pass through processing equipment with significant fixed
delays before arriving at the switcher. These delays may include video line delays
or even field delays. To compensate for these delays, genlock timing offsets allow
the user to back-time the output of the equipment relative to the input reference.
Using the host interface, the following registers may be programmed once the
device is stably locked:
•
Clock_Phase_Offset (1Dh) - with a range of zero to one clock pulse in
increments of between 1/64 and 1/512 of a clock period (depending on the
PCLK frequency). The increments will be between 100ps and 200ps. All clock
and timing output signals will be delayed by the clock phase offset
programmed in this register.
•
H_Offset (1Bh) - the difference between the reference HSYNC signal and the
output H Sync and/or H Blanking signal in clock pulses, with a control range of
zero to +1 line. All timing output signals will be delayed by the horizontal offset
programmed in this register.
36655 - 2
April 2006
37 of 113
GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
•
V_Offset (1Ch) - the difference between the reference VSYNC signal and the
output V Sync and/or V Blanking in lines, with a control range of zero to +1
frame. All line-based timing output signals will be delayed by the vertical offset
programmed in this register.
The encoding scheme for the Clock_Phase_Offset register (1Dh) is shown in
Table 3-1. The offset programmed will be in the positive direction. Note that the
step size will depend on the frequency of the output video clock.
NOTE: If VID_STD[5:0] = 63 and the reference format is changed, care must be
taken to ensure that the Clock_Phase_Offset register is correctly programmed for
the new output format before the reference is applied.

Note: Program Clock_Phase_Offset = 0000 0000 0000 0000b to achieve a zero clock phase offset.
The value programmed in the H_Offset register (1Bh) must not exceed the
maximum number of clock periods per line of the outgoing video standard.
Similarly, the value programmed in the V_Offset register (1Ch) must not exceed
the maximum number of lines per frame of the outgoing standard. Both horizontal
and vertical offsets will be in the positive direction. Negative offsets (advances) are
achieved by programming a value in the appropriate register equal to the maximum
allowable offset minus the desired advance.
NOTES:
1. The device will delay all output timing signals by 2 PCLKs relative to the input
HSYNC reference. This will occur even when the H_Offset register is not
programmed. The user may compensate for this delay by subtracting 2 PCLK
cycles from the desired horizontal offset before loading the value into the host
interface.
36655 - 2
April 2006
38 of 113
GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
2. For both sync and blanking-based input references, the device will advance all
line-based output timing signals by 1 line relative to the input VSYNC
reference for all output standards except VID_STD[5:0] = 4, 6, and 8. This will
occur even when the V_Offset register is not programmed. The user may
compensate for this advance by adding 1 line to the desired vertical offset
before loading this value into the register.
3. When locking the "f/1.001" HD output standards to the 525-line SD input
reference standards, or vice versa, the device will delay all line-based output
timing signals by ΔVSync lines relative to the input VSYNC reference. This will
occur even when the V_Offset register is not programmed. The user may
compensate for this delay by subtracting ΔVSync lines from the desired
vertical offset before loading this value into the register.
The value ΔVSync is given by the equation:
Δ VSync = HSYNC_IN_Period + Δ VSYNC _HSYNC – ( 2 × HSYNC_OUT_Period )
where:
HSYNC_IN_Period = the period of the H reference pulse
ΔVSYNC_HSYNC = the time difference between the leading edges of the
applied V and H reference pulses
Hsync_OUT_Period = the period of the generated H Sync output
See Figure 3-1. H_Feedback_Divide represents the numerator of the ratio of
the output clock frequency to the frequency of the H reference pulse. It is
calculated as described in Section 3.6.2.1 on page 54.

4. For sync-based input references, the device will advance all line-based output
timing signals by 1 line if the value programmed in the H_Offset register is
greater than 20. The user may compensate for this advance by adding 1 line
to the desired vertical offset before loading this value into the register. In
addition, the internal V_lock and F_lock signals reported in bits 3 and 4 of
register 16h will be LOW when H_Offset = 21 only, although the device will
remained genlocked. The user may choose to mask these lock signals such
that the device will continue to report genlock under this condition.
5. For blanking-based input references, the device will advance all line-based
output timing signals by 1 line if the value programmed in the H_Offset register
is greater than the number of output video clock cycles from the start of H
Sync to the end of active video (Hsync_to_EAV) + 20. The value of
Hsync_to_EAV is reported in register 51h and changes according to the output
VID_STD selected. The user may compensate for this advance by adding 1
line to the desired vertical offset before loading this value into the register. In
addition, the internal V_lock and F_lock signals reported in bits 3 and 4 of
register 16h will be LOW when H_Offset = Hsync_to_EAV + 21 only, although
the device will remained genlocked. The user may choose to mask these lock
signals such that the device will continue to report genlock under this
condition.
6. The offsets that occur as described in notes 1-5 are independent of one
another and must be accounted for as such.
3.2.1.2 Freeze Mode
When the device is in Genlock mode and the input reference is removed, the
GS4911B/GS4910B will enter Freeze mode. The behaviour of the device during
loss and re-acquisition of an input reference signal is described in Section 3.5.3 on
page 47.
In Freeze mode, the frequency of the output clock and timing signals will be
maintained to within +/- 2ppm. This assumes a loop bandwidth of 10Hz. Also, if the
frequency of the 27MHz reference crystal shifts while in Freeze mode, the
frequency of the output clock and timing signals will shift as well.
3.2.2 Free Run Mode
The GS4911B/GS4910B will enter Free Run mode when the GENLOCK pin is set
HIGH by the application layer. In this mode, the occurrence of all frequencies is
based on the external 27MHz reference input. Therefore, the frequency of the
output clock and timing signals will have the same accuracy as the crystal
reference.
If operating in Free Run mode, using a more accurate crystal (e.g. 10ppm) ensures
more accurate clock and timing signals are generated.
NOTE: In Free Run mode, the audio clocks of the GS4911B will remain genlocked
to the video clock.

GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
Figure 3-2 summarizes the differences in output accuracy in each mode of
operation. Assuming a crystal reference of +/-100ppm, in Free Run mode the
frequency of the output clock and timing signals will be as accurate as the crystal.
In Genlock mode the frequency will be as accurate as the input reference
regardless of the crystal accuracy. In Freeze mode, the frequency of the output
clock and timing signals will be maintained to within +/- 2ppm.

GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
3.3 Output Timing Format Selection
At device power-up (described in Section 3.14 on page 106), the application layer
should immediately set the external VID_STD[5:0] and ASR_SEL[2:0] pins. The
VID_STD[5:0] pins are used to select a pre-programmed output video format, or to
indicate that custom timing parameters will be programmed in the host interface.
The ASR_SEL[2:0] pins are only available on the GS4911B, and are used to select
the fundamental audio frequency or to turn off audio clock generation.
The output timing formats selectable by the user via the VID_STD[5:0] pins are
listed in Section 1.4 on page 20. Table 3-7 in Section 3.7.2 on page 63 lists the
audio sample rates available via the ASR_SEL[2:0] pins.
If the user sets VID_STD[5:0] =1-51 on power-up, the device will first check the
status of the GENLOCK pin. If GENLOCK is set LOW and a valid reference has
been applied to the inputs, the device will output the selected video standard while
attempting to genlock. However, if a reference signal has not been applied and
GENLOCK=LOW, the initial clock and timing outputs may be determined by the
internal default settings of the chip. If GENLOCK is set HIGH, the device will
immediately enter Free Run mode and will correctly output the selected video
standard.
If the user sets VID_STD[5:0] = 62 on power-up, the device will be configured to
generate custom output timing signals. The initial output timing signals will be equal
to the internal default timing of the chip until the user programs registers 4Eh to 55h
of the host interface (see Section 3.10 on page 74). Additionally, the output video
clock will run at a frequency determined by the internal default settings of the chip
until the user modifies it via registers 20h to 23h (see Section 3.9.1 on page 72).
If the user sets VID_STD[5:0] = 63 on power-up, the device will wait until a valid
reference has been applied, at which time it will output the same video format as
the input reference and enter Genlock mode if GENLOCK = LOW.
When operating in Free Run or Genlock mode, the GS4911B/GS4910B will
continuously monitor the settings of the VID_STD[5:0] and ASR_SEL[2:0] pins. If
the user wishes to change the format of the output clocks and timing signals, these
pins may be reconfigured at any time, although it is recommended that the device
be reset when changing output video standards.

3.4 Input Reference Signals
The HSYNC, VSYNC, FSYNC, and 10FID reference signals are applied to the
GS4911B/GS4910B via the designated input pins.
To operate in Genlock mode, the input reference signals must be valid and must
conform to a recognized video or graphics standard (see Section 3.5 on page 45).
Alternatively, if VID_STD[5:0] = 62, the signal applied to the HSYNC input must be
stable and have a period of less than 2.4ms.
In Free Run mode, no input reference is required.
Section 3.4.1 on page 43 describes the HSYNC, VSYNC and FSYNC input timing.
The 10FID input signal is discussed in Section 3.4.2 on page 44.
3.4.1 HSYNC, VSYNC, and FSYNC
Timing for Video Formats
The HSYNC, VSYNC, and FSYNC input reference signals may have analog

have digital timing, such as from Gennum’s GS1559/60A/61 deserializers
(Figure 3-4). Section 1.4 on page 20 lists the 36 pre-programmed video timing
formats recognized by the GS4911B/GS4910B.
If the input reference format does not include an F sync signal, the FSYNC pin
should be held LOW.

Timing for Graphics Formats
The GS4911B/GS4910B is pre-programmed to recognize the timing for 16
different graphics formats presented to the input reference pins. These graphic
formats are described in Section 1.4 on page 20.
The supported graphics standards are all progressive, and do not use the FSYNC
signal. Therefore, FSYNC should be held LOW by the application layer. The VESA
formats supported have a 0.5% frequency tolerance.
VSYNC transitions are typically co-timed with the leading edge of HSYNC. The
duration and polarity of these signals for each format is listed in Table 1-2.
NOTE: The user must ensure that the input HSYNC polarity for VID_STD [5:0] = 47
and 49 – 54 be active LOW.
3.4.2 10FID
The 10FID input is a reset pin, which can be used to reset the divider for the 10FID
output signal. In the GS4911B, the 10FID input pin will also reset the divider for the
AFS output signal. This default setting may be modified using the Audio_Control
register of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79).
The GS4911B will reset the phase of the audio clocks to the leading edge of the H
Sync output on line 1 of every output frame in which the 10FID input is HIGH. This
enables the user to reset the phase of the dividers when generating custom signals
via the host interface (see Section 3.7.2.1 on page 65).
If the input reference format does not include a 10 Field ID signal, the external
10FID input pin should be held LOW.
The timing of the 10FID input signal is shown in Figure 3-5.

3.4.3 Automatic Polarity Recognition
To accommodate any standards that employ the polarity of the H and V sync
signals to indicate the format of the display, the GS4911B/GS4910B will recognize
H and V sync polarity and automatically synchronize to the leading edge.
The polarities of the HSYNC and VSYNC signals are reported in bits 3 and 4 of the
Video_Status register. Additionally, bit 2 of this register reports the detection of
either analog or digital input timing. See Section 3.12.3 on page 79 for detailed
register descriptions.
3.5 Reference Format Detector
The reference format detector checks the validity and analyzes the format of the
input reference signal. It is designed to accurately differentiate between 59.94 and
60Hz frame rates.
3.5.1 Horizontal and Vertical Timing Characteristic Measurements
When a reference signal is applied to the designated input pins, the
GS4911B/GS4910B will analyse the signal and report the following in registers
0Ah to 0Eh of the host interface:
•
the number of 27MHz clock pulses between leading edges of the H input
reference signal (H_Period register)
•
the number of 27MHz clock pulses in 16 horizontal periods (H_16_Period
register)
•
the number of H reference pulses between leading edges of the V input
reference signal (V_Lines register)
•
the number of H reference pulses in two vertical periods (V_2_Lines register)
•
the number of H reference pulses in one F period (F_Lines register)
These parameters may be read via the host interface and are used by the device
to determine reference signal validity.
3.5.2 Input Reference Validity
Before the device attempts to operate in Genlock mode, the input signals applied
to HSYNC and VSYNC must be valid and must conform to one of the 36
recognized video standards or 16 recognized graphics standards described in
Section 1.4 on page 20. Alternatively, if VID_STD[5:0] = 62, the device may be
manually programmed to genlock to a reference that is neither valid nor recognized
(see Section 3.10.1 on page 74).
For an input reference signal to be considered valid, the periodicity of HSYNC must
be between 9us and 70us, and the periodicity of VSYNC must be between 8ms and
50ms. The FSYNC signal is not essential for validity. For output video standards
other than VID_STD[5:0] = 62, the REF_LOST pin will be set LOW once the input
reference signal is considered valid.
36655 - 2
April 2006
45 of 113
GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
If the input signal is valid, the device then compares the timing parameters of the
input reference signal to each of the 36 video and 16 graphics standards listed in
Table 1-2, and determines if the input reference is one of the recognized
standards. If it is, the VID_STD[5:0] value for the format is written to the
Input_Standard register at address 0Fh of the host interface. If the input signal is
invalid, or if the reference format is unrecognized, 00h is programmed in this
register.
Once a reference signal is valid and recognized by the device, VSYNC and FSYNC
will no longer be monitored. Loss of signal on these pins will not affect the operation
of the device.
If VID_STD[5:0] is not set to 62 and the REF_LOST pin is HIGH, or if the input
signal is valid, but unrecognized as one of the 36 video or 16 graphics formats, the
GENLOCK pin should not be set LOW.
If VID_STD[5:0] = 62, the REF_LOST output will reflect the presence of a stable
signal with a period of less than 2.4ms on the HSYNC input pin. This allows the
user to program the device to lock to a single input reference only
The REF_LOST output pin may also be read via bit 0 of the Genlock_Status
register (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79).
3.5.2.1 Ambiguous Standard Selection
There are some standards with identical H, V, and F timing parameters, such that
the GS4911B/GS4910B’s reference format detector cannot distinguish between
them. Table 3-2 groups standards with shared H, V, and F periods. Using the
Amb_Std_Sel register at address 10h of the host interface, the user may select
their choice of standard to be identified with a particular set of measurements. For
example, to have 1716 clocks of 27MHz per line with 525 lines per frame identified
as 4fsc 525, program Amb_Std_Sel[10:0] = XXX10XXXXXX, where ‘X’ signifies
‘don’t care’.

NOTE: ‘X’ signifies ‘don’t care.’ The X bit will be ignored when determining which standard to select in each of the 6 groups above.
3.5.3 Behaviour on Loss and Re-acquisition of the Reference Signal
By default, the GS4911B/GS4910B will ignore one missing H pulse on the HSYNC
pin and will continue to operate in Genlock mode (although the LOCK_LOST pin
will temporarily be set HIGH). This behaviour is controlled by the Run_Window bits
of register address 24h.
If there are two consecutive missing H pulses on the HSYNC input pin, the
REF_LOST and LOCK_LOST pins will both go HIGH and the device will enter
Freeze mode. An internal flywheel ensures the selected output clock and timing
signals maintain their previous phase and frequency and continue to operate
without glitches.
The VSYNC and FSYNC signals are not monitored in Genlock mode; loss of signal
on these pins will not affect the operation of the device.
NOTE 1: If the input reference is removed and re-applied, all line-based timing
outputs will be inaccurate for up to one frame for all output standards.
36655 - 2
April 2006
47 of 113
GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
NOTE 2: When locking the “f/1.001” HD output standards to the SD input reference
standards 3, 5, 7, or 9, or vice versa, there may be a random phase difference
between the input VSYNC and output V Sync signals occuring each time the input
reference is removed and re-applied. This will affect all line-based timing outputs.
For cases where the user must manually video genlock the device, the problem will
occur whenever the value programmed for H_Reference_Divide (registers 2B-2Ah)
is greater than 1. The user may reset the line-based counters after the reference is
re-applied without disrupting the pixel or audio clocks by toggling bit 15 of register
address 83h in the host interface. This will cause the input VSYNC and line-based
timing output signals to take on their default timing relationship, as described in
Note 3 of Section 3.2.1.1 on page 37.
Re-acquisition of the Same Reference
Upon re-application of the reference signal, the device checks whether the
reference has drifted more than +/- 2us from its expected location by comparing
the current relative position of the H pulses with the previous position, over a
16-line interval. If the reference returns with the H pulses in the expected location
+/- 2us, the PLL will drift lock and the clock generator will continue to operate
without a glitch. The REF_LOST and LOCK_LOST pins will be set back LOW.
If the reference returns with the H pulses outside the +/- 2us window, the device
will crash lock the output timing to the new input phase. The principles of crash lock
and drift lock are described in Section 3.6.3 on page 58.
NOTE: To resume proper genlock operation upon re-application of the reference
signal, the user must implement the following register manipulation every time the
reference is removed and re-applied:
1. Read the value contained in register address 24h
2. Clear the Run_Window bits [2:0] of register 24h
3. Re-write the value read in step 1 to register address 24h.
This procedure will force the device to lock to the reference as described above,
but will maintain the flywheeling capability of the GS4911B/GS4910B should a
single missing H pulse occur in the genlocked state.
To avoid the above procedure, the user may choose to clear the Run_Window bits
[2:0] of register address 24h upon power-up or reset. However, this will disable the
flywheeling feature of the device that allows it to maintain genlock through one
missing input H pulse.

GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
Acquisition of a New Reference
When a new reference is applied, the device continues to operate in Freeze mode
while the reference format detector checks for validity as described in Section 3.5.2
on page 45. Once validity is detected, the REF_LOST pin is set LOW.
Assuming GENLOCK is LOW, the device will then attempt to genlock the selected
output clock and timing signals to the new input reference. If the output can be
automatically genlocked to the new input reference, LOCK_LOST will go LOW and
the device will re-enter Genlock mode. Otherwise, the LOCK_LOST pin will remain
HIGH and the device will enter Free Run mode.
If VID_STD[5:0] = 63 when the new reference is applied, the device will send the
detected timing parameters to the clock synthesis and timing generator blocks. The
new output format will start being generated during the first reference V period after
the reference format has been reliably established. The LOCK_LOST pin will go
LOW and the device will re-enter Genlock mode.
3.5.4 Allowable Frequency Drift on the Reference
By default, the frequency of the reference H pulse on HSYNC may drift from its
expected value by approximately +/- 0.2% before the internal video PLL loses lock.
This tolerance may be adjusted using the Max_Ref_Delta register at address 1Eh
of the host interface.
The encoding scheme is shown in Table 3-3. The default value of the register is Bh.
NOTE: Regardless of the setting of this register, the device will always differentiate
between 59.94Hz and 60Hz reference standards.

GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
3.6 Genlock
When both the REF_LOST output and the GENLOCK input are LOW, the device
will attempt to genlock the output clock and timing signals to the input reference.
NOTE: The user must apply a reference to the input of the device prior to setting
GENLOCK = LOW. If the GENLOCK pin is set LOW and no reference signal is
present, the generated clock and timing outputs of the device may correspond to
the internal default settings of the chip until a reference is applied.
The device will first attempt to automatically genlock the output to the input
reference. This automatic locking process is described in Section 3.6.1 on
page 50. If the output format selected is such that it is not commonly genlocked to
the input reference, the GS4911B/GS4910B will not automatically lock. In this
case, the user may program designated registers to manually allow locking to
occur. The manual locking process is described in Section 3.6.2 on page 54.
The user may disable one or more of the recognized input standards from being
used to genlock the output by setting the Reference_Standard_Disable register
located at address 11h - 14h of the host interface. If a reference is applied that is
disabled in the Reference_Standard_Disable register, both the automatic and
manual locking process will fail when the application layer sets GENLOCK = LOW.
NOTE: If the device is already genlocked to an input reference and the applied
standard is subsequently disabled in the Reference_Standard_Disable register,
the device will remain locked.
3.6.1 Automatic Locking Process
The behaviour of the device when attempting to automatically genlock will depend
on the status and format of the input reference with respect to the selected output
format.
VID_STD[5:0] = 1 to 51:
Once reference validity is established and the reference format is recognized, the
device uses an internal cross-reference genlock look-up table to determine
whether the input can be used to genlock the output. A simplified version of this
look-up table is shown in Table 3-4. The table represents a matrix with the
VID_STD[5:0] number representation of each possible reference format along the
top axis, and the VID_STD[5:0] representation of each possible output timing
format along the vertical axis. A shaded box indicates that the output format can be
automatically genlocked to the input reference.
If the device determines that the output can be automatically genlocked to the input
reference, it will lock the output format to the reference, adjust the output timing
signals based on the genlock timing offset registers (Section 3.2.1.1 on page 37),
and then set the LOCK_LOST pin LOW.
36655 - 2
April 2006
50 of 113
GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
If the device cannot automatically genlock the output to the applied reference, the
LOCK_LOST pin will be set HIGH and the device will operate in Free Run mode.
In this case, the user may program designated registers to manually allow locking
to occur (Section 3.6.2 on page 54).
Individual H, V, and F-locked signals can be read from the Genlock_Status register
of the host interface. Additionally, designated bits in the Genlock_Control register
may be configured to permit the genlock block to ignore invalid timing on the
HSYNC, VSYNC, or FSYNC pin when determining the locked status of the device.
These registers are described in Section 3.12.3 on page 79.
NOTE: When attempting to lock some output graphics standards to an input
reference, the device will automatically modify the output frame rate from the VESA
standard to permit cross-locking to occur. The exact change will depend on the
output standard selected and the input reference detected. Standards affected by
this behaviour are denoted by an 'a' or a 'b' suffix in Table 3-4.
VID_STD[5:0] = 62:
Setting VID_STD[5:0]=62 allows custom timing signals to be programmed in the
host register (see Section 3.10 on page 74). It has the additional feature of
disabling the validity check of the input reference signal.
The device will automatically attempt to genlock the custom output to the input
using the same process that is used when VID_STD[5:0] = 1 to 51. The user must
manually program the internal genlock block if a custom H-based timing output
signal is programmed or if a custom reference pulse is applied to HSYNC.
VID_STD[5:0] = 63:
When VID_STD[5:0]=63, the device will send the detected input reference timing
parameters to the clock synthesis and timing generator blocks. The device will
produce an output format with identical timing to the input reference. It will then lock
the output format to the reference, adjust the output timing parameters based on
the genlock timing offset registers (Section 3.2.1.1 on page 37), and set the
LOCK_LOST pin LOW.

3.6.2 Manual Locking Process
Using the host interface, the GS4911B/GS4910B may be manually programmed to
genlock certain video formats and audio clocks that are not automatically
genlocked by the device. The following sections discuss when the user should
manually program the internal video and/or audio genlock block, and how these
blocks are programmed.
3.6.2.1 Programming the Internal Video Genlock Block and Output Line/Frame Reset Registers
The user will be required to manually program the internal video genlock block and
output line/frame reset registers during any of the following situations:
1. The pre-programmed output format and input reference cannot be
automatically genlocked according to the cross-reference genlock table
(Table 3-4 in Section 3.6.1 on page 50).
2. A custom video clock is programmed in the host interface (Section 3.9.1 on
page 72).
3. VID_STD[5:0] = 62 and a custom H-based timing output signal is programmed
(see Section 3.10 on page 74).
4. VID_STD[5:0] = 62 and a custom reference pulse is applied to HSYNC (see
Section 3.10.1 on page 74).
Video Genlock Block Host Registers

shown in Figure 3-6.

Figure 3-6: Internal Video Genlock Block
To genlock the output clock and video timing signals to the input format, the user
must first lock the frequency of the output video clock (fout) to the frequency of the
reference pulse on HSYNC (fHref). This is accomplished by programming the set of
integers (H_Feedback_Divide, H_Reference_Divide) in the equation:

f Href
36655 - 2
April 2006
54 of 113
GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
where:
fout = output video clock frequency
fHref = reference H pulse frequency on HSYNC
H_Feedback_Divide = numerator of the divide ratio (host register 28h-29h)
H_Reference_Divide = denominator of the divide ratio (host register 2Ah-2Bh)
Before programming H_Feedback_Divide and H_Reference_Divide, the
numerator and denominator must be reduced to their lowest factors.
For example, to manually genlock an output format with a 74.25MHz video clock to
a reference with a 27MHz video clock and 1716 clocks per line, the following
calculations are necessary:

f Href = ------------ MHz

Therefore, program H_Feedback_Divide = 4719 and H_Reference_Divide = 1.
Output Line/Frame Reset Host Registers
In addition to programming H_Feedback_Divide and H_Reference_Divide, the
user must also define the ratio of the output frame rate to the reference frame rate.
The denominator of this ratio is programmed in the Output_FV_Reset register at
address 18h of the host interface. Before Output_FV_Reset is programmed, the
numerator and denominator must be reduced to their lowest factors. Two
examples are demonstrated below:
Example 1: the reference has a frame rate of 30Hz and the output frame rate is
50Hz:
Output
Frame Rate- = 50
------ = 5----------------------------------------------30 3
Input Frame Rate
Therefore, program Output_FV_Reset = 3. The numerator does not have to be
programmed.
Example 2: the reference has a frame rate of 29.97Hz and the output frame rate is
50Hz:
50 - 1001
Output
Frame Rate- = -------------------------------------------------------= -----------29.97 600
Input Frame Rate
Therefore, program Output_FV_Reset = 600. The numerator does not have to be
programmed.
Additionally, the Frame_Divider_Reset register (address19h) must be configured
to initialize the counter reset programmed in register 18h.

GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
Alternatively, depending on the information available, the user may program the
Output_H_Reset register (address 17h) instead of programming registers 18h and
19h. Output_H_Reset defines the denominator of the ratio of the output line
frequency to the input line frequency. Before Output_H_Reset is programmed, the
numerator and denominator must be reduced to their lowest factors.
For example, to genlock the output standard 720p/59.94 at 74.25/1.001MHz to the
input standard 525i/29.97 at 27MHz:
Input Video Clock Frequency

∴-------------------------------------------------------- = 74250000

Therefore, program Output_H_Reset = 7. The numerator does not have to be
programmed.
NOTE: Either register 17h OR registers 18h and 19h should be programmed.
Programming all three registers will trigger two counter resets.
Programming OUTPUT_FV_RESET is preferred in all cases except where a
custom reference pulse is used in VID_STD[5:0] = 62 (see Section 3.10.1 on
page 74). In this case, OUTPUT_H_RESET must be used.
3.6.2.2 Programming the Internal Audio Genlock Block (GS4911B only)
By default, the audio clocks are always genlocked to the output video clock.
However, if a custom video or audio clock is programmed in the host interface (see
Section 3.9 on page 72), the user must manually program the internal audio
genlock block.
A simplified version of the GS4911B’s internal audio genlock block is shown in
Figure 3-7.

GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
To genlock the audio clock to the video clock, the user must lock the fundamental
sampling frequency (fs) to the frequency of the output video clock (fout). This is
accomplished by programming the set of integers (A_Feedback_Divide,
A_Reference_Divide) in the equation:
fs
A _Feedback_Divide------------------------------------------------= n × -------f out
A_Reference_Divide
where:
fs = the fundamental audio sampling frequency
fout = output video clock frequency
A_Feedback_Divide = numerator of the divide ratio (host register 3Bh-3Ch)
A_Reference_Divide = denominator of the divide ratio (host register 3Dh-3Eh)
n = an integer constant
The integer constant, n, will depend on the fundamental audio sampling frequency.
It will be one of the three values as defined in Table 3-5.

NOTES:
1. Enable_384fs corresponds to bit 5 of address 31h of the host interface. It is LOW by default.
2. ‘X’ signifies ‘don’t care.’ This bit will be ignored when determining n.
Before programming A_Feedback_Divide and A_Reference_Divide, the
numerator and denominator must be reduced to their lowest factors.
For example, to manually genlock a custom audio clock with a fundamental
sampling frequency of 42kHz to a 27MHz video clock, the following calculations are
necessary:
n = 1024
A _Feedback_Divide

43008
∴-------------------------------------------------- = 1024 × ------------------------ = --------------- = 1792
-----------A_Reference_Divide
27000000 27000 1125
Therefore, program A_Feedback_Divide = 1792 and A_Reference_Divide = 1125.
Note that n=1024 when programming a custom audio clock (see Section 3.9.2 on
page 73).

3.6.3 Adjustable Locking Time
The GS4911B/GS4910B offers two different locking mechanisms to allow the user
to control the PLL lock time and the integrity of the output signal during the locking
process. The locking process is said to take place after the application of the input
reference and before the LOCK_LOST signal is set LOW.
By default, the internal PLL will crash lock. This locking process will ensure a
minimum PLL locking time; however, crash lock will cause the phase of the output
clock and timing signals to jump during the locking process. The crash behaviour
of the video PLL is controlled by the Crash_Time bits of register address 24h.
Alternatively, the user may set bit 1 of register 16h HIGH to force the PLL to drift
lock. Drift lock will increase the locking time of the PLL, but will maintain the signal
integrity of the output clock and timing pulses during the locking process.
As discussed in Section 3.5.3 on page 47, the device will normally drift lock when
the reference is removed and subsequently re-applied during Genlock mode.
3.6.4 Adjustable Loop Bandwidth
The default loop bandwidth of the GS4911B/GS4910B's internal video PLL is 10Hz
when the output video standard is the same as the input reference format. For
other cross-locking combinations, the default loop bandwidth may be smaller than
1Hz or as large as 30Hz.
The user may adjust the loop bandwidth of both the video and audio PLLs to a
value that depends on the input, output, and audio standards selected, as well as
on the amplitude of the jitter present on the applied HSYNC signal. Increasing the
loop bandwidth will result in a shorter PLL lock time, but will allow more frequency
components of jitter to be passed to the outputs. Decreasing the loop bandwidth
will decrease the output jitter, but will result in a longer PLL lock time.
3.6.4.1 Loop Bandwidth of the Video PLL
The capacitive component of the filter controlling the video loop bandwidth is
determined by the Video_Cap_Genlock register and the resistive component is
determined by the Video_Res_Genlock register. These two registers are located
at addresses 26h and 27h, respectively, of the host interface.
To determine the setting of Video_Res_Genlock and Video_Cap_Genlock, the
following equations must be solved:
Video_Res_Genlock =
47 + log 2 ( 6 × BW × JITTERIN × H_Feedback_Divide )
Video_Cap_Genlock ≤ Video_Res_Genlock – 21
36655 - 2
April 2006
58 of 113
GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
where:
BW = the desired video PLL loop bandwidth
JITTERIN = Jitter present on applied HSYNC reference signal, in seconds
H_Feedback_Divide = the numerator of the video PLL divide ratio
H_Feedback_Divide represents the numerator of the ratio of the output clock
frequency to the frequency of the H reference pulse. It is calculated as described
in Section 3.6.2.1 on page 54.
NOTE: The bandwidth calculation represented by the above equation is only
approximate. As the programmed value of Video_Res_Genlock becomes larger,
the approximation becomes more accurate.
For example, the following steps are necessary to program a loop bandwidth of
25Hz given the following conditions: input HSYNC jitter = 3 ns, VID_STD[5:0] = 3
and input reference format = NTSC.
1. Calculate H_Feedback_Divide (as defined in Section 3.6.2.1 on page 54):
H_Feedback_Divide f pclkout
-------------------------------------------------- × ----------------H_Reference_Divide f Hrefin
f pclkout = 27MHz
27
f Hrefin = ------------ MHz
1716
H_Feedback_Divide
1716
∴-------------------------------------------------- = 27 × ------------ = 1716
-----------H_Reference_Divide
27
1
Therefore, H_Feedback_Divide = 1716.
2. Calculate the value for Video_Res_Genlock:
Video_Res_Genlock =
–9
47 + log 2 ( 6 × 25 × ( 3 × 10 ) × 1716 )
= 37
3. Calculate the value for Video_Cap_Genlock:
Video_Cap_Genlock = 37 – 21 = 16
Therefore, program Video_Res_Genlock = 37 and Video_Cap_Genlock = 16.
NOTE: The value programmed in the Video_Res_Genlock register must be
between 32 and 42. The value programmed in the Video_Cap_Genlock register
must be greater than 10. These limits define the exact range of loop bandwidth
adjustment available.

GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
3.6.4.2 Loop Bandwidth of the Audio PLL (GS4911B only)
The capacitive component of the filter controlling the audio loop bandwidth is
determined by the Audio_Cap_Genlock register and the resistive component is
determined by the Audio_Res_Genlock register. These two registers are located
at addresses 39h and 3Ah, respectively, of the host interface.
To determine the setting of Audio_Res_Genlock and Audio_Cap_Genlock, the
following equations must be solved:
Audio_Res_Genlock =
47 + log 2 ( 6 × BW × JITTERIN × A _Feedback_Divide )
Audio_Cap_Genlock ≤ Audio_Res_Genlock – 21
where:
BW = the desired audio PLL loop bandwidth
JITTERIN = Jitter present on output PCLK, in seconds.
A_Feedback_Divide = the numerator of the audio PLL divide ratio
A_Feedback_Divide is calculated in the same way as demonstrated in
Section 3.6.2.2 on page 56.
NOTE: The bandwidth calculation represented by the above equation is only
approximate. As the programmed value of Audio_Res_Genlock becomes larger,
the approximation becomes more accurate.
NOTE2: The value programmed in the Audio_Res_Genlock register must be
between 32 and 42. The value programmed in the Audio_Cap_Genlock register
must be greater than 10. These limits define the exact range of loop bandwidth
adjustment available.
3.6.5 Locking to Digital Timing from a Deserializer
As described in Section 3.4.1 on page 43, the GS4911B/GS4910B may be
genlocked to either an analog reference, such as a Black & Burst signal, or to an
SDI input via the digital H, V, and F blanking signals normally produced by a
deserializer. When locking to an SDI input, the user should consider the possibility
of a switch of the SDI signal upstream from the system.
If the GS4911B/GS4910B is locked to the digital H, V, and F blanking signals
produced by a deserializer, and the SDI input to the deserializer is switched such
that the phase of the H input changes abruptly, the REF_LOST output will remain
LOW and the GS4911B/GS4910B will not crash lock to the new H phase. Instead,
the clock and timing outputs will very slowly drift towards the new phase. During
this period of drift, the LOCK_LOST output will be LOW, even though the device is
not genlocked.
The user should clear the Run_Window bits [2:0] of register adress 24h to force the
device to crash lock should such a switch occur. This will cause the
36655 - 2
April 2006
60 of 113
GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
GS4911B/GS4910B to crash lock whenever it sees a disturbance of the input H
signal.
NOTE: Any action that causes an abrupt phase change of the H input to the
GS4911B/GS4910B such that REF_LOST is not triggered will cause the device to
respond in the manner described above.
In addition to the slow drifting behaviour outlined above, there may also be a
random phase difference between the input VSYNC and output V Sync signals
occurring each time a switch in the SDI stream causes an abrupt phase change of
the H input to the GS4911B/GS4910B. This will only occur when attempting to lock
the "f/1.001" HD output standards to the 525-line SD input references standards,
or vice versa. For cases where the user must manually video genlock the device,
the problem will occur whenever the value programmed for H_Reference_Divide
(registers 2B-2Ah) is greater than 1. All line-based timing outputs are affected.
The only way to ensure a constant phase difference between the input VSYNC
signal and the line-based timing outputs is to reset the line-based counters after
such a switch occurs. This is acheived by toggling bit 15 of register address 83h in
the host interface. The device will then delay all line-based output timing signals by
ΔVsync lines relative to the input VSYNC reference, as described in NOTE 3 of
Section 3.2.1.1 on page 37.
3.7 Clock Synthesis
The clock synthesis circuit generates the video/graphics clocks based on the
VID_STD[5:0] pins and host register settings. In the GS4911B, the clock synthesis
circuit also generates the audio clock signals based on the ASR_SEL[2:0] pins and
host register settings.
The generated video and audio clocks may be further divided and are presented to
the application layer via pins PCLK1-PCLK3 and ACLK1-ACLK3 respectively.
3.7.1 Video Clock Synthesis
The programmable video clock generator is referenced to an internal crystal
oscillator and is responsible for generating the PCLK output signals.
The crystal oscillator requires an external 27MHz crystal connected to pins X1 and
X2, or can be driven at LVTTL levels from an external 27MHz source connected to
X1. These two configurations are shown in Figure 1-1.
A range of 8 different video sample clock rates and 13 different graphic display
clock rates may be selected using the VID_STD[5:0] pins of the device. Section 1.4
on page 20 lists the video and graphic formats available using the VID_STD[5:0]
pins. Once the device is powered up and an initial output format is selected using
VID_STD[5:0], the video clock rate may also be modified via the host interface (see
Section 3.9 on page 72).
If desired, the external VID_STD[5:0] pins may be ignored by setting bit 1 of the
Video_Control register, and the video standard may instead be selected via the
VID_STD[5:0] register of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79).
36655 - 2
April 2006
61 of 113
GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
Although the external VID_STD[5:0] pins will be ignored, they should not be left
floating.
NOTE: If VID_STD[5:0] is set to 62 on power-up, the video clock will run at a
frequency based on the internal default settings of the chip until the user programs
registers 20h to 23h. Please see Section 3.9 on page 72 for a detailed explanation
of custom clock generation.
Once the video clock has been generated, it will be presented to the application
layer via the PCLK1 to PCLK3 pins. By default, each of the 3 video clock outputs
will produce the generated fundamental clock frequency. However, it is possible to
select other rates for each PCLK output by programming the PCLK_Phase/Divide
registers beginning at address 2Ch of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on
page 79).
Each PCLK output may be individually programmed to provide one of the following:
•
PCLK fundamental frequency
•
Fundamental frequency /2
•
Fundamental frequency /4
When all six VID_STD[5:0] pins are set LOW, the video clocks will be disabled.
PCLK1 and PCLK2 will go LOW and PCLK3/PCLK3 will be high impedance.
NOTE: If the PCLK divider bits of registers 2Ch - 2Eh are set to enable a divide by
2 or divide by 4, the resultant divided clock will align with the falling edge of the
output H Sync timing signal either on its rising or falling edge.
The PCLK1 to PCLK3 outputs may also be individually delayed with respect to the
eight TIMING_OUT signals to allow for skew control downstream from the
GS4911B/GS4910B. Using the PCLK_Phase/Divide registers, the phase of each
clock may be delayed up to a nominal 10.3ns in 16 steps of approximately 700ps
each (Table 3-6). This delay is available in addition to the genlock timing offset
phase adjustment described in Section 3.2.1 on page 37.

2. The phase of PCLK is delayed relative to the TIMING_OUT pins.
Additionally, the current drive capability of PCLK1 and PCLK2 may be set high or
low using the PCLK_Phase/Divide registers. By default the current drive will be
low. It must be set high if the clock rate is greater than 100MHz.

3.7.2 Audio Clock Synthesis (GS4911B only)
The programmable audio clock generator is referenced to the internal PCLK signal
and is responsible for generating the ACLK output signals. Three audio clock
output pins, ACLK1 to ACLK3, are available to the application layer.
The fundamental sampling frequency, fs, is selected using the ASR_SEL[2:0] pins
as shown in Table 3-7. Once selected, the audio clock rate may be customized via
the host interface (see Section 3.9 on page 72).
If desired, the external ASR_SEL[2:0] pins may be ignored by setting bit 2 of the
Audio_Control register and the sampling frequency may instead be programmed
in the ASR_SEL[2:0] register of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79).
Although the external ASR_SEL[2:0] pins will be ignored, they should not be left
floating.

frame rate based. They refer to 32kHz, 44.1kHz, or 48kHz multiplied by 1000/1001 to maintain the 1,
2, or 3 frame sequence normally associated with 24, 30, and 60 fps video.
When all three ASR_SEL[2:0] pins are set LOW, the audio clock outputs will be
high impedance. In this case, the application layer may continue to power the
AUD_PLL_VDD pin; however, to minimize noise and power consumption,
AUD_PLL_VDD may be grounded.
By default, after system reset, ACLK1 to ACLK3 will output clock signals at 256fs,
64fs, and fs respectively. Different division ratios for each output pin may be
selected by programming the ACLK_fs_Multiple registers beginning at address
3Fh of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79). The encoding of this
register is shown in Table 3-8. Clock outputs of 512fs, 348fs, 256fs, 192fs, 128fs,
64fs, fs, and z bit are selectable on a pin by pin basis. The z bit will go HIGH for
one fs period every 192 fs periods. Its phase is not defined by any timing event in
the GS4911B, and so is arbitrary.

The fs signal on ACLK1-3 has an accurate 50% duty cycle, and can be used for
left/right definition, with the following exception: if fs = 96kHz and the user
configures the host interface such that one of the three ACLK pins is set to output
a clock signal at 192fs or 384fs, the 512fs clock will have a 33% duty cycle.
All audio clocks are initially reset on the rising edge of the AFS pulse, ensuring that
video to audio clock synchronization is correct. During normal operation, the audio
clock edge is allowed to drift slightly with respect to the AFS pulse. By default, the
audio clock will be reset directly by the AFS pulse if it drifts more than
approximately +/-0.1us from the rising edge of the AFS pulse. However, after
device reset, or after the application of a new input reference, the ACLK outputs
may sometimes be offset from the AFS pulse by up to several microseconds. The
offset will remain until the device is reset or the reference removed and re-applied.
The user may avoid this offset by minimizing the width of the AFS_Reset_Window
using bits 9-7 of register 31h for the duration of the audio PLL locking process.
Once the audio PLL is locked, bit 1 of register 1Fh will be set HIGH, and the
AFS_Reset_Window may be set as desired. See Table 3-9.
NOTE: To maintain correct audio clock frequencies for some VESA standards, the
window tolerance shown in Table 3-9 may have to be increased from its default
setting. In this case, set the AFS_Reset_Window register to 1XX.

3.7.2.1 Audio to Video Clock Phasing
The important aspect of the audio to video phase relates to the way in which the
AFS pulse is used to reset the audio clock dividers so as to line up the leading edge
of the audio clocks with the leading edge of the H Sync pulse on line 1 of the first
field in the audio frame sequence. The AFS pulse is further discussed in
Section 3.8.2 on page 68.
625i 50 Format
For the 48kHz sampling rate, the audio to video phase relationship for 625/50i
reference signals is provided by the device in accordance with the EBU
recommended practice R83-1996. The start of an audio frame (fs clock) will align
with the 50% point of the H sync input of line 1 of each video frame (+/- the
allowable drift specified in Table 3-9).
525i 59.94 Format
For 525/59.94 NTSC reference signals, the device will observe the 5-frame
phase-relationship inherent with this video standard, aligning the audio clocks with
the 50% point of the H sync input of line 1 on every fifth frame (+/- the allowable
drift specified in Table 3-9).
The number of audio sample clocks during a video frame is shown in Table 3-10
for 32, 44.1, and 48kHz audio sampling frequencies.

The external 10FID input pin may be used to resynchronize other audio clock
frequencies, according to Table 3-10, by applying an active signal during the
reference HSYNC of line 1 of the appropriate video frame. Please see
Section 3.4.2 on page 44 for more details on the 10FID input pin.
In the case where 10FID is not present as a reference signal, the GS4911B will
automatically generate an AFS pulse appropriate to the format selected, and use
it to create an audio frame sequence.
Host Interface Control of AFS and 10FID
Alternatively, the user may program the device via the host interface to re-time the
audio frame sequence and 10 field-ID. Using register 1Ah, a pulse may be
generated to reset the AFS and/or 10FID dividers at the start of an output video
frame (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79).
If using the host interface to reset the AFS pulse, the device may be configured to
ignore the input 10FID reference pin. To disable the signal on the external 10FID
pin from resetting the AFS output pulse, set bit 0 of the Audio_Control register
HIGH.
If using the host interface to reset the 10FID pulse, the external 10FID pin must be
grounded.

3.8 Video Timing Generator
The internal PCLK signal generated by the clock synthesis circuit is used to
produce horizontal, vertical, and frame based timing output signals.
The signals generated and available to the application layer via the TIMING_OUT
pins are: H Sync, H Blanking, V Sync, V Blanking, F Sync, F Digital, DE, 10FID,
AFS (GS4911B only), and USER_1~4. These signals are defined in Section 1.5 on
page 25. Additional information pertaining to the 10FID, AFS, and USER_1~4
signals can be found in the sub-sections below.
When the GS4911B/GS4910B is operating in Genlock mode, the H, V, and F
based output timing signals are synchronized to the H, V, and F reference signals
applied to the inputs by the application layer. The video timing outputs may be
offset from the input reference by programming the Genlock Offset registers
beginning at address 1Bh of the host interface (see Section 3.2.1.1 on page 37).
All TIMING_OUT signals have selectable polarity. The default polarities for each
signal are given in the descriptions in Section 1.5 on page 25.
3.8.1 10 Field ID Pulse
As described in Table 1-3, the 10 field ID (10FID) output signal is used in the
identification of film to video cadence. It is only generated for 29.97, 30, 59.94, and
60fps formats.
The 10FID pulse is generated on every 5th frame for 29.97 and 30fps formats, and
every 10th frame on 59.94 and 60fps formats.
By default, the 10FID signal is set HIGH on the leading edge of the H Sync output
for the duration of line 1 of field 1 at the start of the 10 field sequence. This is shown
in Figure 3-8.
Alternatively, by setting bit 4 of the Video_Control register at address 4Ch of the
host interface, the 10FID output signal may be configured to go HIGH (default
polarity) on the leading edge of the H Sync pulse of line 1 of the first field in the 10
field sequence, and be reset LOW on the leading edge of the H Sync pulse of line
1 of the second field in the 10 field sequence. This is shown in Figure 3-9.

The phasing of the divide by n frame counter may be reset by an external pulse on
the 10FID input pin, or via register 1Ah of the host interface (see Section 3.12.3 on
page 79).
NOTE: If a 10FID input signal is not provided to the device, the 10FID output signal
will be invalid until the user initiates a reset via the host interface. The user should
also reset the 10FID signal via the host if at any time the H input reference signal
is removed and then re-applied.
3.8.2 Audio Frame Synchronizing Pulse (GS4911B only)
As described in Table 1-3, the audio frame synchronizing (AFS) pulse identifies the
frame, within an n frame sequence, in which the audio sample rate clock is aligned
with the H Sync of line 1. It is generated for all video formats.
The leading edge of the AFS output pulse is co-timed with the H Sync
corresponding to line 1 of every nth frame in the sequence, and therefore identifies
the exact time at which the audio sample rate clock and video PCLK have
synchronous leading edges.
The number of frames in the sequence, n, is determined by the video frame rate
and the audio clock frequency. These are selected using the VID_STD[5:0] and
ASR_SEL[2:0] pins or via the host interface.
By default, the AFS pulse is 1 line long, as shown in Figure 3-10. Alternatively, by
setting bit 1 of the Audio_Control register, the AFS output signal may be configured
to go HIGH on the leading edge of the H Sync pulse of line 1 of the first field in the
‘n’ frame sequence, and be reset LOW on the leading edge of the H Sync pulse of
line 1 of the second field in the sequence. The AFS timing in this configuration is
similar to the 10FID optional timing shown in Figure 3-9.

Figure 3-10: AFS Output Timing
The phasing of the divide by n counter can be controlled by the 10FID input or via
designated registers in the host interface.
By default, the 10FID input pin controls the AFS phase (in addition to controlling
the 10FID phase); however, this feature may be disabled by setting bit 0 of the
Audio_Control register (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79). In addition, the AFS signal
may be reset via register 1Ah.
3.8.3 USER_1~4
As described in Table 1-3, the GS4911B/GS4910B offers 4 user programmable
output signals which are available independent of the selected output video format.
Each user signal is individually programmable and the polarity, position, and width
of each output may be defined with respect to the digital output timingof the device.
Each output signal may be programmed in both the horizontal and vertical
dimensions relative to the leading edges of H blanking and V blanking. If desired,
the pulses produced may then be combined with a logical AND, OR, or XOR
function to produce a composite signal (for example, a horizontal back porch pulse
during active lines only, or the active part of lines 15 through 20 for vertical
information retrieval).
By default, the AND, OR, and XOR functions are disabled. Therefore, when a
USER signal is selected using the Output_Select registers of the host interface, the
signal will go LOW (default polarity) at the H_Start pixel and return HIGH after the
H_Stop pixel. Setting the AND bit HIGH, for example, will cause the USER signal
to be active only when USER_H is active and USER_V is active (i.e. the pixel is
between both H_Start and H_Stop and V_Start and V_Stop). See Figure 3-11.
NOTE: The effective horizontal range of the four user-defined timing signals is
[H_Start + 1, H_Stop], except when H_Start = 1, in which case the range is
[H_Start, H_Stop]. This prevents the user from specifying an output USER signal
that begins on pixel 2 of a line.

In the case of interlaced output formats, the programmed vertical start and stop
lines refer to the start and stop lines of the generated USER signal on field 1. The
start and stop lines of the USER signal on the even fields will be V_Start - 1 and
V_Stop - 1, respectively.
For example, if VID_STD[5:0] = 3, field 1 will have 263 lines and field 2 will have
262 lines. A user-defined vertical pulse programmed to start on line 12 and stop on
line 17 will start on frame lines 12 and 274, and stop on frame lines 17 and 279.

3.8.4 TIMING_OUT Pins
The horizontal, vertical, and frame based timing output signals for the selected
video format are available to the application layer via the TIMING_OUT_1 to
TIMING_OUT_8 pins.
Programmable Crosspoint Switch
Each TIMING_OUT pin outputs a default signal as shown in Table 1-3.
Alternatively, a crosspoint switch may be programmed via the eight Output_Select
registers of the host interface, allowing the user to select which output signal is
directed to each TIMING_OUT pin (see Section 3.12.3 on page 79). Any signal
may be sent to more than one pin if desired.
Table 3-11 outlines the encoding scheme of the eight Output_Select registers,
which begin at address 43h of the host interface.

The current-drive of each timing output pin is also selectable via the Output_Select
registers. The current drive of each TIMING_OUT pin is low by default. However,
it may be set high to accommodate certain applications.
Additionally, the Polarity register of the host interface may be programmed to select
the polarity of each timing output signal.

3.9 Custom Clock Generation
In addition to the device’s pre-programmed clock frequencies, the user may
generate a custom audio or video clock by programming designated registers in
the host interface.
Custom video clock generation is supported by both the GS4910B and GS4911B
and is described in Section 3.9.1 on page 72. Custom audio clock generation is
only supported by the GS4911B and is described in Section 3.9.2 on page 73.
3.9.1 Programming a Custom Video Clock
The fundamental frequency of the video clock is defined by the output video format
initially set by VID_STD[5:0]. At any time, this fundamental frequency may be
modified to create a custom output video format.
The user may generate a video clock with any frequency between 13.5MHz and
165MHz. By programming the PCLK_Divide registers, the output PCLK may be as
low as 13.5/4 = 3.375MHz.
Generating a custom video clock will change the period of the video timing signals
presented to the TIMING_OUT pins; however, the pixels per line, lines per frame,
and other pixel and line-based timing signals will remain unchanged. To redefine
the pixel and line based timing parameters, registers 4Eh to 55h must be
reprogrammed as described in Section 3.10 on page 74.
The frequency of the custom video clock is determined using a ratio based on the
27MHz reference. Therefore, to program a custom clock, the user must calculate
and program the set of integers (Nv, Dv) in the equation:
f out
N
-----v- = ------Dv
f in
where:
fout = desired output video clock frequency
fin = 27MHz crystal reference
Nv = numerator of the ratio (host register 20h-21h)
Dv = denominator of the ratio (host register 22h-23h)
Before programming Nv and Dv, the numerator and denominator must be reduced
to their lowest factors. Two examples are given below:
Example 1: Programming an output video clock of 74.25MHz:
f out
-------- = 74.25MHz
-------------------------f in
27MHz
Nv
∴------ = 7425
------------ = 11
-----Dv
2700
4
Therefore, program Nv = 11 and Dv = 4.
36655 - 2
April 2006
72 of 113
GS4911B/GS4910B Data Sheet
Example 2: Programming an output video clock of 74.175824MHz (74.25/1.001):
74.25
------------- MHz
f out
1.001
-------- = ------------------------f in
27MHz
Nv
7425 × 1000
250
∴------ = ------------------------------ = --------Dv
2700 × 1001
91
Therefore, program Nv = 250 and Dv = 91.
NOTE: The Nv and Dv values programmed in registers 20h-21h and 22h-23h are
not held until the custom video clock update bit (6) of register 16h is toggled.
3.9.2 Programming a Custom Audio Clock (GS4911B only)
The GS4911B’s audio clocks are derived from the fundamental audio sampling
frequency initially set by ASR_SEL[2:0]. At any time this fundamental sampling
frequency may be modified to create a custom output audio clock.
The user may generate any audio sampling frequency between 6.6kHz and 96kHz,
and therefore create a custom audio clock as high as 512*96kHz. When generating
a custom audio sampling frequency, ASR_SEL[2:0] must be set to 100b and bit 5
of register 31h (enable_384fs) must be kept LOW.
The fundamental sampling frequency is determined using a ratio based on the
27MHz reference. Therefore, to program a custom audio clock, the user must
calculate and program the set of integers (Na, Da) in the equation:
fs
N
------a = 1024 × ----f in
Da
where:
fs = desired fundamental audio sampling frequency
fin = 27MHz crystal reference
Na = numerator of the ratio (host register 33h-34h)
Da = denominator of the ratio (host register 35h-36h)
Before programming Na and Da, the numerator and denominator must be reduced
to their lowest factors.
For example, to program a fundamental audio sampling frequency of 42kHz:
N
42000
------a = 1024 × ------------------------ = 43008
--------------- = 1792
-----------27000000
Da
27000
1125
Therefore, program Na = 1792 and Da = 1125 and toggle the custom audio clock
update bit (6) of register 31h. Using registers 3Fh to 41h, the custom audio
sampling frequency generated may then be multiplied by a factor of 64, 128, 256,
or 512 before being presented to the ACLK pins.
NOTE: The AFS reset described in Section 3.7.2 on page 63 will always remain
active.

3.10 Custom Output Timing Signal Generation
In addition to the devices’s pre-programmed output timing signals, the user may
also build their own custom timing signals. This is achieved by setting
VID_STD[5:0] = 62 and programming designated host registers.
When programming custom output timing signals, the user must define the pixel,
line, and field/frame timing parameters using registers 4Eh to 55h of the host
interface (see Figure 3-12). For all custom formats, the VSync output will start on
line 1 of the video field. The user may delay the VSync pulse to any line using the
V_Offset register (see Section 3.2.1.1).
When the user sets VID_STD[5:0] = 62, registers 4Eh to 55h will become
read/write configurable and the device will initially continue to output timing signals
based on the video format previously selected. Once the user has programmed all
eight custom timing registers, generation of the new timing signals will begin.
The frequency of the video clock will remain as previously selected unless
otherwise modified as described in Section 3.9.1 on page 72.
NOTE: If VID_STD[5:0] = 62 on power-up, the initial output timing signals will be
set to the internal default timing of the chip until the user programs 4Eh to 55h.

3.10.1 Custom Input Reference
As explained in Section 3.5.2 on page 45, when VID_STD[5:0] = 62, the device will
only verify that a stable signal with a period of less than 2.4ms is present on the
HSYNC input pin before attempting to genlock. Therefore, in addition to
programming custom output timing signals, the user may genlock the output timing
signals to a custom reference pulse applied to HSYNC. In this case the user is
required to manually program the video genlock block (see Section 3.6.2.1 on
page 54).

3.11 Extended Audio Mode for HD Demux using the Gennum Audio
Core
The GS4911B/GS4910B has been designed to interface with Gennum's FPGA
Audio Core in order to provide a 24.576MHz clock (512 * 48kHz) locked to the
audio clock contained in the embedded audio data packets of an HD-SDI stream.
It is the responsibility of the user to divide this clock by 4 to obtain the 6.144MHz
required by the core.
In HD Demux mode, the FPGA Audio Core will extract an audio clock from the
embedded audio data packets and present a 24kHz clock to the
GS4911B/GS4910B via the aclkdiv2a (for Group A) and aclkdiv2b (for Group B)
outputs. The embedded clock must be 48kHz.
The 24kHz reference signals for each audio group must be applied to the HSYNC
input pin of a GS4911B/GS4910B, while a divided version of this signal must be
applied to the VSYNC input pin. The divided signal must meet the requirements for
VSYNC validity given in Section 3.5.2 on page 45. It is recommended that the
VSYNC signal be generated by dividing the 24kHz reference applied to HSYNC by
512 to give 46.875Hz.
To enable the extended audio mode, the user must do the following:
1. Set VID_STD[5:0] = 04h.
2. Set the F_Lock_Mask and V_Lock_Mask bits [4:3] of register address 16h to
1.
3. Set the Ext_Audio_Mode register address 81h to 20C1h.
4. Toggle the Update_Custom_V_Clock bit [6] of register address 16h.
In this mode, the GS4911B/GS4910B will produce a 24.576MHz clock on its PCLK
output pins that is locked to the 24kHz extracted audio clock reference applied to
HSYNC. It will not lock to any other reference frequency. The user may then divide
this frequency by 4 using the programmable dividers in the GS4911B/GS4910B.

3.12 GSPI Host Interface
The GSPI, or Gennum Serial Peripheral Interface, is a 4-wire interface provided to
allow the host to enable additional features of the GS4911B/GS4910B and/or to
provide additional status information through configuration registers in the device.
The GSPI comprises a serial data input signal, SDIN, a serial data output signal,
SDOUT, an active low chip select, CS, and a burst clock, SCLK. The burst clock
must have a duty cycle between 40% and 60%.
Because these pins are shared with the JTAG interface port, an additional control
signal pin, JTAG/HOST is provided. When JTAG/HOST is LOW, the GSPI
interface is enabled.
When operating in GSPI mode, the SCLK, SDIN, and CS signals are provided by
the application interface. The SDOUT pin is a non-clocked loop-through of SDIN
and may be connected to the SDIN pin of another device, allowing multiple devices
to be connected to the GSPI chain. The interface is illustrated in Figure 3-14.

All read or write access to the GS4911B/GS4910B is initiated and terminated by
the host processor. Each access always begins with a 16-bit command word on
SDIN indicating the address of the register of interest. This is followed by a 16-bit
data word on SDIN in write mode, or a 16-bit data word on SDOUT in read mode.

3.12.1 Command Word Description
The command word consists of 16 bits transmitted MSB first and includes a
read/write bit, an Auto-Increment bit and a 12-bit address. Figure 3-15 shows the
command word format and bit configurations.
Command words are clocked into the GS4911B/GS4910B on the rising edge of the
serial clock, SCLK, which operates in a burst fashion.
When the Auto-Increment bit is set LOW, each command word must be followed
by only one data word to ensure proper operation. If the Auto-Increment bit is set
HIGH, the following data word will be written into the address specified in the
command word, and subsequent data words will be written into incremental
addresses. This facilitates multiple address writes without sending a command
word for each data word.
Auto-Increment may be used for both read and write access.

3.12.2 Data Read and Write Timing
Read and write mode timing for the GSPI interface is shown in Figure 3-17 and
Figure 3-18 respectively. The timing parameters are defined in Table 3-12.
When several devices are connected to the GSPI chain, only one CS should be
asserted during a read sequence.
During the write sequence, all command and following data words input at the
SDIN pin are output at the SDOUT pin as is. Where several devices are connected
to the GSPI chain, data can be written simultaneously to all the devices that have
CS set LOW.

3.13 JTAG
When the JTAG/HOST input pin of the GS4911B/GS4910B is set HIGH, the host
interface port will be configured for JTAG test operation. In this mode, pins 57
through 60 become TCLK, TDI, TDO, and TMS. In addition, the RESET pin will
operate as the test reset pin.
Boundary scan testing using the JTAG interface will be enabled in this mode.
There are two methods in which JTAG can be used on the GS4911B/GS4910B:
1. As a stand-alone JTAG interface to be used at in-circuit ATE (Automatic Test
Equipment) during PCB assembly; or
2. Under control of the host for applications such as system power on self tests.
When the JTAG tests are applied by ATE, care must be taken to disable any other
devices driving the digital I/O pins. If the tests are to be applied only at ATE, this
can be accomplished with high-impedance buffers used in conjunction with the
JTAG/HOST input signal. This is shown in Figure 3-19.

Alternatively, if the test capabilities are to be used in the system, the host may still
control the JTAG/HOST input signal, but some means for tri-stating the host must
exist in order to use the interface at ATE. This is represented in Figure 3-20.

3.14 Device Power-Up
3.14.1 Power Supply Sequencing
The GS4911B/GS4910B has a recommended power supply sequence. To ensure
correct power-up, the ANALOG_VDD and CORE_VDD power pins should be
powered before IO_VDD.
Device pins may be driven prior to power-up without causing damage.
3.15 Device Reset
In order to initialize operating conditions to their default states, the application layer
must hold the RESET signal LOW during power up and for a minimum of 500us
after the last supply has reached its operating voltage.
