MK9173-15
Video Genlock PLL
General Description
Features
The MK9173-01 and MK9173-15 provide the analog PLL
circuit blocks to implement a frequency multiplier. Because
the device is configured to use an external divider in the PLL
clock feedback path, a large divider can be used to result in a
large frequency multiplication ratio. This is useful when using
a low frequency input clock to generate a high frequency
output clock. The MK9173-01/15 contains a phase detector,
charge pump, loop filter, and voltage-controlled oscillator
(VCO). The ICS674-01 can be used as the external feedback
divider.

A common application of the MK9173-01/-15 is the
implementation of a video genlock circuit. Because of this,
the MK9173-01/-15 inputs operate on the negative-going
clock edge.

Using the MK9173-01/15 in
Genlock Applications
Most video sources, such as video cameras, are asynchronous,
free-running devices. To digitize video or synchronize one
video source to another free-running reference video source, a
video “genlock” (generator lock) circuit is required. The
MK9173-01 and MK9173-15 integrate the analog blocks
which make the task much easier.
In the complete video genlock circuit, the primary function of
the MK9173-01 and MK9173-15 is to provide the analog
circuitry required to generate the video dot clock within a
PLL. This application is illustrated in Figure 1. The input
reference signal for this circuit is the horizontal
synchronization (H-SYNC) signal. If a composite video
reference source is being used, the h-sync pulses must be
separated from the composite signal. A video sync separator
circuit, such as the National Semiconductor LM1881, can be
used for this purpose.
The clock feedback divider shown in Figure 1 is a digital
divider used within the PLL to multiply the reference
frequency. Its divide ratio establishes how many video dot
clock cycles occur per h-sync pulse. For example, if 880 pixel
clocks are desired per h-sync pulse, then the divider ratio is set
to 880. Hence, together the h-sync frequency and external
divider ratio establish the dot clock frequency:
fO U T = fI N • N where N is external divide ratio
Both input pins IN and FBIN respond only to negative-going
clock edges of the input signal. The H-SYNC signal must be
constant frequency in the 12 kHz to 1M Hz range and stable
(low clock jitter) for creation of a stable output clock.
AC specifications (VCO frequency), an input as low as 12kHz
(such as NTSC or PAL H-SYNC) can be used.
The output hook-ups of the MK9173-01 and MK9173-15 are
dictated by the desired dot clock frequency. The primary
consideration is the internal VCO which operates over a
frequency range of 10 MHz to 75 MHz. Because of the
selectable VCO output divider and the additional divider on
output CLK2, four distinct output frequency ranges can be
achieved. The following Table lists these ranges and the
corresponding device configuration.

OutputUsed
Note that both outputs, CLK1 and CLK2, are available during
operation even though only one is fed back via the external
clock divider.
Pin 5, OE, tristates both CLK1 and CLK2 upon logic low
input. This feature can be used to revert dot clock control to
the system clock when not in genlock mode (hence, when in
genlock mode the system dot clock must be tristated).
When unused, inputs FS0 and OE must be tied to either GND
(logic low) or VDD (logic high).
Refer to Application Brief (AB01) for additional details on
use of input frequencies below 25kHz. By following the
guidelines in this brief and meeting the test conditions in the
For further discussion of VCO/PLL operation as it applies to
the MK9173-01 and MK9173-15, please refer to the AV9170
application note. The AV9170 is a similar device with fixed
feedback dividers for skew control applications.

Using the MK9173-01/15 to
replace the AV9173-01/15
Increasing leadtimes from our wafer fab on the AV917x family
of products led us to introduce the MK917x family. The
MK917x have been designed for a 0.6 micron CMOS process,
whereas the AV917x devices are on a 1.2 micron process.
There are characteristic differences between the old and new
products which may lead to problems in the application. The
most commonly reported problem is increased jitter.
2. Due to differences in behavior between the AV and MK
parts, the MK parts may not be a viable substitute in some
applications. Accordingly, ICS is working to establish a new
source of supply for the AV part.
3. Keep in mind the following advice for PLLs, which might
help you troubleshoot problems in migrating to the MK917x
family:
Design Considerations
a) Don't open the external clock feedback path. In doing so,
the MK917x will start to run as its maximum frequency, which
might be faster than the logic in your feedback path is able to
handle.
The primary difference between old (AV) and new (MK)
products is that the MK series is built on a faster process. To
compensate for this process difference, we recommend the
following design considerations.
b) Fast transitions on the input pins reduce jitter. Remove any
filters or unneeded loads on the inputs.
1. Because the MK series is faster, good power supply
decoupling is more important. A board layout which works
well with the AV parts may require better decoupling to work
with the MK parts. The recommended decoupling is 0.01 uF
mounted as close as possible (within 0.2") to the VDD pin (if a
larger value device is in place, such as a 0.1 uF, try replacing
this with a 0.01 uF device). To determine if improved
decoupling would help performance, connect a disc capacitor
directly across the VDD and ground pins. Trim the leads as
short as possible.
c) Terminate the clock output lines properly. Try adding a 33
ohm series termination resistor.
For new video genlock applications, please consider the
ICS673-01, ICS1522, or ICS1523.

Notes:
1. Parameter is guaranteed by design and characterization. Not 100% tested in production.
2. Input Reference Frequency = 25 kHz, Output Frequency = 25 MHz. Jitter measured between adjacent vertical pixels.
3. CLK1 frequency applies for FS = 0. For FS = 1 condition, divide allowable CLK1 range by the factor of 4.
4. An Application Brief (AB01) documents the operation of the AV9173 for low input frequencies. This provides
guidelines for usable output frequencies and feedback ratios required to use inputs below 25 kHz. By following these
guidelines, the MK9173 will operate down to 12 kHz inputs across temperature, voltage and lot-to-lot variation.
5. Jitter values are measured at frequencies ≥25 MHz for MK9173-01, for MK9173-15, jitter is measured at frequency
≥12.5 MHz.
