Analog Interface
Digital Interface
The complete 8-bit, 170 MSPS, monolithic analog interface is
optimized for capturing RGB graphics signals from personal
computers and workstations. Its 170 MSPS encode rate capability
and full-power analog bandwidth of 330 MHz support resolutions
of up to 1600 × 1200 (UXGA) at 60 Hz. The interface includes
a 170 MHz triple ADC with internal 1.25 V reference; a phaselocked loop (PLL); and programmable gain, offset, and clamp
controls. The user provides only a 3.3 V power supply, analog
input, and Hsync. Three-state CMOS outputs can be powered
from 2.5 V to 3.3 V. The analog interface also offers full sync
processing for composite sync and sync-on-green (SOG) applications. The AD9887A on-chip PLL generates a pixel clock from
Hsync with output frequencies ranging from 12 MHz to 170 MHz.
PLL clock jitter is typically 500 ps p-p at 170 MSPS.
The AD9887A contains a DVI 1.0-compatible receiver and
supports resolutions up to 1600 × 1200 (UXGA) at 60 Hz. The
receiver operates with true color (24-bit) panels in one or two
pixel(s) per clock mode and features an intrapair skew tolerance
of up to one full clock cycle. With the inclusion of HDCP,
displays can receive encrypted video content. The AD9887A
allows for authentication of a video receiver, decryption of encoded
data at the receiver, and renewability of authentication during
transmission, as specified by the HDCP v1.0 protocol. Fabricated
in an advanced CMOS process, the AD9887A is provided in a
160-lead, surface-mount, plastic MQFP and is specified over the
0°C to 70°C temperature range. The AD9887A is also available
in an RoHS compliant package.
HDCP
AD9887A
02838-001
The AD9887A offers an analog interface receiver and a digital
visual interface (DVI) receiver integrated on a single chip,
supports high bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP),
and is software and pin-to-pin compatible with the AD9887.

PIN FUNCTION DETAILS—PINS SHARED BETWEEN DIGITAL AND ANALOG INTERFACES
Sync Outputs
Data Clock Outputs
HSOUT
Horizontal Sync Output
DATACK Data Output Clock
The horizontal sync output is a reconstructed
version of the video Hsync, phase-aligned with
DATACK. The polarity of this output can be
controlled via a serial bus bit. In analog interface
mode, the placement and duration are variable. In
digital interface mode, the placement and duration
are set by the graphics transmitter.
DATACK Data Output Clock Complement
VSOUT
Like the data outputs, the data clock outputs are
shared between the two interfaces. They also behave
differently, depending on which interface is active.
See the Theory of Operation and Design Guide—
Analog Interface and the Theory of Operation—
Digital Interface sections for details on how these
pins behave.
Vertical Sync Output
The Vsync is separated from a composite signal or
a direct pass-through of the Vsync input. The polarity
of this output can be controlled via a serial bus bit.
The placement and duration in all modes are set by
the graphics transmitter.
Sync Detect
SCDT
Chip Active/Inactive Detect Output
The logic for the SCDT pin is analog interface
HSYNC detection or digital interface DE detection.
Therefore, the SCDT pin switches to logic low under
two conditions: when neither interface is active, or
when the chip is in full power-down mode. The data
outputs are automatically set to three-state when
SCDT is low. This pin can be read by a controller to
identify periods of inactivity.

SCANIN
By using the scan function, 48 bits of data can be
loaded into the data outputs. Data is input serially
through this pin, clocked with the SCANCLK pin,
and comes through the outputs as parallel words.
This function is useful for loading known data into
a graphics controller chip for testing purposes.

Data Input for Scan Function
The data input serially into the SCANIN register can
be read through this pin. Data is read on a FIFO
basis and is clocked via the SCANCLK pin.
These outputs are the main data outputs. Bit 7 is the
MSB. These outputs are shared between the two
interfaces.
SCANCLK
Rev. B | Page 11 of 52
Data Clock for Scan Function
This pin clocks the data for the scan function.
It controls both data input and output.
AD9887A
Power Supplies
VD
PVD
Main Power Supply
The most sensitive portion of the AD9887A is the
clock generation circuitry. These pins provide
power to the clock PLL and help the user design for
optimal performance. The designer should provide
noise-free power to these pins.
These pins supply power to the main elements of
the circuit. They should be filtered to be as quiet
as possible.
VDD
Digital Output Power Supply
These supply pins are identified separately from the
VD pins; therefore, special care can be taken to
minimize output noise transferred into the sensitive
analog circuitry.
Clock Generator Power Supply
GND
If the AD9887A is interfacing with lower voltage
logic, VDD can be connected to a lower supply
voltage (as low as 2.2 V) for compatibility.
Rev. B | Page 12 of 52
Ground
This is the ground return for all circuitry on the
chip. It is recommended that the application circuit
board have a single, solid ground plane.

PIN FUNCTION DETAILS—ANALOG INTERFACE
When not used, leave this input unconnected. For
more details on this function and how it should be
configured, refer to the Sync-on-Green Input section.
Analog Video Data Inputs
RAIN
GAIN
BAIN
Analog Input for Red Channel

CLAMP
This logic input can be used to define the time
during which the input signal is clamped to the
reference dc level (ground for RGB, midscale for
YUV). It should be used when the reference dc level
is known to be present on the analog input channels,
typically during a period called the back porch of
the graphics signal following Hsync. The CLAMP
pin is enabled by setting control bit EXTCLMP to 1
(the default at power-up is 0). When disabled, this
pin is ignored and the clamp timing is determined
internally by counting the delay and duration from
the trailing edge of the HSYNC input. The logic
sense of this pin is controlled by CLAMPOL. When
not used, this pin must be grounded and EXTCLMP
must be programmed to 0.
These are the high impedance inputs that accept
graphics signals from the red, green, and blue
channels, respectively. For RGB, the three channels
are identical and can be used for any color, but colors
are assigned for convenient reference. For proper
4:2:2 formatting in a YUV application, the Y channel
must be connected to the GAIN input, U must be
connected to the BAIN input, and V must be
connected to the RAIN input.
These pins accommodate input signals ranging from
0.5 V to 1.0 V full scale. Signals should be ac-coupled
to these pins to support clamp operation.
External Inputs
HSYNC
Horizontal Sync Input
This input receives a logic signal that establishes the
horizontal timing reference and provides the frequency reference for pixel clock generation.
COAST
The input includes a Schmitt trigger for noise
immunity with a nominal input threshold of 1.5 V.
The logic sense of this pin is controlled by coast
polarity. When not used, this pin can be grounded
with coast polarity programmed to 1, or tied high
with coast polarity programmed to 0. Coast polarity
defaults to 1 at power-up.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection diodes
conduct heavily if this pin is driven more than 0.5 V
above the maximum tolerance voltage (3.3 V) or
more than 0.5 V below ground.
CKEXT
Vertical Sync Input
This is the input for vertical sync.
Sync/Clock Inputs
SOGIN
Clock Generator Coast Input (Optional)
This input can be used to stop the pixel clock generator
from synchronizing with Hsync while maintaining
the clock at its current frequency and phase. This is
useful when processing signals from sources that
fail to produce horizontal sync pulses when in the
vertical interval. The coast signal is generally not
required for PC-generated signals. For applications
requiring coast, it is provided through the internal
coast found in the sync processing engine.
The logic sense of this pin is controlled by Serial
Register 0x0F, Bit 7 (Hsync polarity). Only the leading
edge of Hsync is active; the trailing edge is ignored.
When Hsync polarity = 0, the falling edge of Hsync
is used. When Hsync polarity = 1, the rising edge is
active.
VSYNC
External Clamp Input (Optional)
Sync-on-Green Input
This input is provided to assist with processing
signals with embedded sync, typically on the green
channel. The pin is connected to a high speed comparator with an internally generated threshold that is
0.15 V above the negative peak of the input signal.
When connected to an ac-coupled graphics signal
with embedded sync, it produces a noninverting
digital output on SOGOUT.
Rev. B | Page 13 of 52
External Clock Input (Optional)
This pin can be used to provide an external clock to
the AD9887A in place of the clock internally
generated from HSYNC. It is enabled by programming CKEXT to 1. When an external clock is used,
all other internal functions, including the clock
phase adjustment, operate normally. When not
used, this pin should be tied to VDD or to ground
and CKEXT should be programmed to 0.
AD9887A
CKINV
REFIN
Sampling Clock Inversion (Optional)
This pin can be used to invert the pixel sampling
clock, which has the effect of shifting the sampling
phase 180°. This supports the alternate pixel
sampling mode, wherein higher frequency input
signals (up to 340 MPPS) can be captured by
sampling the odd pixels and capturing the even
pixels on the subsequent frame.
This pin should be used only during blanking
intervals (typically vertical blanking), because it
might produce several samples of corrupted data
during the phase shift.
The reference input accepts the master reference
voltage for all AD9887A internal circuitry (1.25 V ±
10%). It can be driven directly by the REFOUT pin.
Its high impedance presents a very light load to the
reference source.
This pin should always be bypassed to ground with
a 0.1 μF capacitor.
PLL Filter
FILT
Sync Outputs
HSOUT
Horizontal Sync Output
A reconstructed, phase-aligned version of the HSYNC
input. Both the polarity and duration of this output
can be programmed via serial bus registers.
By maintaining alignment with DATACK,
DATACK, and Data, data timing with respect to
horizontal sync can be determined.
External Filter Connection
For proper operation, the pixel clock generator, PLL,
requires an external filter. Connect the filter shown
in Figure 11 to this pin. For optimal performance,
minimize noise and parasitics on this node.
CKINV should be grounded when not used.
Either or both signals can be used, depending on
the timing mode and the interface design used.

These are the main data outputs. Bit 7 is the MSB.
SOGOUT Sync-on-Green Slicer Output
This pin can be programmed to output either the
composite sync output from the sync-on-green slicer
comparator or an unprocessed, but delayed, version
of the HSYNC input. See the sync processing block
diagram (Figure 43) to see how this pin is connected.
Voltage References
REFOUT Internal Reference Output
This is the output from the internal 1.25 V band gap
reference. This output is intended to drive relatively
light loads. It can drive the AD9887A reference input
directly, but should be externally buffered if it is used
to drive other loads, as well.
The absolute accuracy of this output is ±4%, and the
temperature coefficient is ±50 ppm, which is adequate
for most AD9887A applications. If higher accuracy
is required, an external reference can be used instead.
When using an external reference, connect this pin
to ground through a 0.1 μF capacitor.
Rev. B | Page 14 of 52
Each channel has two ports. When the part is operated
in single-channel mode (DEMUX = 0), all data
presented to Port A and Port B is placed in a high
impedance state. Programming demux to 1 establishes
the dual-channel mode, wherein alternate pixels are
presented to the Port A and Port B of each channel.
These appear simultaneously; two pixels are presented
at the time of every second input pixel when PAR is
set to 1 (parallel mode). When PAR is set to 0, pixel
data appears alternately on the two ports, one new
sample with each incoming pixel (interleaved mode).
In dual-channel mode, the first pixel after Hsync is
routed to Port A. The second pixel goes to Port B,
the third to Port A, and so on.
The delay from pixel sampling time to output is
fixed. When the sampling time is changed by adjusting
the PHASE register, the output timing is shifted as well.
The DATACK, DATACK, and HSOUT outputs are
also moved; therefore, the timing relationship among
the signals is maintained.

These differential data clock output signals are used to
strobe the output data and HSOUT into external logic.
These pins are part of the circuit that provides a
voltage reference for midscale clamping used in the
capture of YUV and YPbPr input signals. These
pins should be grounded through 0.1 μF capacitors,
as shown in Figure 4.
These signals are produced by the internal clock
generator and are synchronous with the internal
pixel sampling clock.
When the AD9887A is operated in single-channel
mode, the output frequency is equal to the pixel
sampling frequency. When the AD9887A is operated
in dual-channel mode, the clock frequency is half
the pixel frequency.
When the sampling time is changed by adjusting
the PHASE register, the output timing is shifted as
well. The Data, DATACK, DATACK, and HSOUT
outputs are moved; therefore, the timing
relationship among the signals is maintained.

THEORY OF OPERATION AND DESIGN GUIDE—ANALOG INTERFACE
47nF
RGB
INPUT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9887A is a fully integrated solution for capturing analog
RGB signals and digitizing them for display on flat panel monitors
or projectors. The device is ideal for implementing a computer
interface in HDTV monitors or for serving as the front end to
high performance video scan converters.
Implemented in a high performance CMOS process, the interface
can capture signals with pixel rates of up to 170 MHz, or of up
to 340 MHz with an alternate pixel sampling mode.
The AD9887A includes all necessary input buffering, signal dc
restoration (clamping), offset and gain (brightness and contrast)
adjustment, pixel clock generation, sampling phase control, and
output data formatting. All controls are programmable via a 2-wire
serial interface. Full integration of these sensitive analog functions
makes system design straightforward and less sensitive to the
physical and electrical environment.
With an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, the device
requires no special environmental considerations.
INPUT SIGNAL HANDLING
The AD9887A has three high impedance analog input pins for
the red, green, and blue channels that accommodate signals
ranging from 0.5 V to 1.0 V p-p.

HSYNC AND VSYNC INPUTS
The AD9887A receives a horizontal sync signal and uses it to
generate the pixel clock and clamp timing. It is possible to
operate the AD9887A without applying Hsync (using an
external clock), but several of the chip’s features are unavailable.
Therefore, it is recommended to provide Hsync. It can be in the
form of either a sync signal directly from the graphics source or
a preprocessed TTL- or CMOS-level signal.
The HSYNC input includes a Schmitt-trigger buffer and is capable
of handling signals that have long rise times with superior noise
immunity. In typical PC-based graphics systems, the sync signals
are simply TTL-level drivers feeding unshielded wires in the
monitor cable. As such, no termination is required or desired.
When the VSYNC input is selected as the source for Vsync, it is
used for coast generation and passed through to the VSOUT pin.
Serial Control Port
Signals are typically brought onto the interface board via a DVI-I
connector, a 15-lead D connector, or BNC connectors. The
AD9887A should be located as close as is practical to the input
connector. Signals should be routed via matched-impedance
traces (normally 75 Ω) to the IC input pins.
The serial control ports are designed for 3.3 V logic. If there are
5 V drivers on the bus, the serial control port pins should be
protected with 150 Ω series resistors placed between the pull-up
resistors and the input pins.
At this point, the signal should be resistively terminated (75 Ω
to the signal ground return) and capacitively coupled to the
AD9887A inputs through 47 nF capacitors. These capacitors
form part of the dc-restoration circuit (see Figure 3).
The digital outputs are designed and specified to operate from a
3.3 V power supply (VDD), but can operate with a VDD as low as
2.5 V for compatibility with 2.5 V logic.
In an ideal world of perfectly matched impedances, the best
performance would be obtained with the widest possible signal
bandwidth. The wide bandwidth inputs of the AD9887A
(330 MHz) would track the input signal continuously as it moves
from one pixel level to the next and would digitize the pixel during
a long, flat pixel time. In many systems, however, there are
mismatches, reflections, and noise that result in excessive ringing
and distortion of the input waveform. This makes it difficult to
establish a sampling phase that provides good image quality.
A small inductor in series with the input can be effective in rolling
off the input bandwidth slightly and providing a high quality signal
over a wider range of conditions. Using a Fair-Rite #2508051217Z0
high speed signal chip bead inductor in the circuit of Figure 3
provides good results in most applications.
RGB Clamping
Output Signal Handling
CLAMPING
To digitize the incoming signal properly, adjust the dc offset of
the input to fit the range of the on-board ADCs.
Most graphics systems produce RGB signals with black at
ground and white at approximately 0.75 V. However, if sync
signals are embedded in the graphics, the sync tip is often at
ground, the black level is at 300 mV, and the white level is at
approximately 1.0 V. Some common RGB line amplifier boxes
use emitter-follower buffers to split signals and increase drive
capability. This introduces a 700 mV dc offset to the signal.
Clamping removes this offset to allow proper capture.
Rev. B | Page 17 of 52
AD9887A
An offset is then introduced that results in the ADCs producing a
black output (Code 0x00) when the known black input is present.
The offset remains in place when other signal levels are processed,
and the entire signal is shifted to eliminate offset errors.
In systems with embedded sync, a blacker-than-black signal
(Hsync) is produced briefly to signal the CRT that it is time to
begin a retrace. For obvious reasons, it is important to avoid
clamping on the tip of Hsync. Fortunately, there is virtually always
a period following Hsync, called the back porch, when a good
black reference is provided. This is the time when clamping
should be done.
clamped to either midscale or ground independently. These bits
(Bit 0 to Bit 2) are located in Register 0x0F.
The midscale reference voltage that each ADC clamps to is
independently provided on the RMIDSCV, GMIDSCV, and BMIDSCV
pins. Each converter must have its own midscale reference,
because both offset adjustment and gain adjustment for each
converter affect the dc level of midscale.
During clamping, the Y and V converters are clamped to their
respective midscale reference inputs. These inputs are Pin BCLAMPV
and Pin RCLAMPV for the U and V converters, respectively. The
typical connections for both RGB and YUV clamping are shown
in Figure 4. Note that even if midscale clamping is not required,
all midscale voltage outputs should be connected to ground
through a 0.1 μF capacitor.
RMIDSCV
RCLAMPV
0.1μF
The clamp timing can be established by using the CLAMP pin
at the appropriate time (with EXTCLMP = 1). The polarity of
this signal is set by the clamp polarity bit.
An easier method of clamp timing uses the AD9887A internal
clamp timing generator. The clamp placement register is
programmed with the number of pixel clocks that should pass
after the trailing edge of Hsync before clamping starts. A second
register (clamp duration) sets the duration of the clamp. These
are both 8-bit values, providing considerable flexibility in clamp
generation. The clamp timing is referenced to the trailing edge
of Hsync, and the back porch (black reference) always follows
Hsync. To establish clamping, set the clamp placement to 0x08
(to provide eight pixel periods for the graphics signal to
stabilize after sync) and set the clamp duration to 0x14 (to allow
the clamp 20 pixel periods to re-establish the black reference).
The value of the external input coupling capacitor affects the
performance of the clamp. If the value is too small, there is an
amplitude change during a horizontal line time (between
clamping intervals). If the capacitor is too large, it takes an
excessively long time for the clamp to recover from a large
change in incoming signal offset. The recommended value
(47 nF) results in recovery from a step error of 100 mV to
within ½ LSB in 10 lines, using a clamp duration of 20 pixel
periods on a 60 Hz SXGA signal.
YUV Clamping
YUV signals are slightly different from RGB signals in that the
dc-reference level (black level in RGB signals) is at the midpoint
of the U and V video signals. For these signals, it may be necessary
to clamp to the midscale range of the ADC range (0x80), rather
than to the bottom of the ADC range (0x00).
Clamping to midscale, rather than to ground, can be accomplished
by setting the clamp select bits in the serial bus register. Each of
the three converters has its own selection bit so that it can be

The key to clamping is to identify a time when the graphics
system is known to be producing a black signal. Originating
from CRT displays, the electron beam is blanked by sending
a black level during horizontal retrace to prevent disturbing the
image. Most graphics systems maintain this format of sending a
black level between active video lines.
Figure 4. Typical Clamp Configuration for RGB and YUV Applications
GAIN AND OFFSET CONTROL
A block diagram of the gain and offset control integrated with
each ADC is shown in Figure 5.
The AD9887A can accommodate input signals of 0.5 V to 1.0 V
full scale. The full-scale range is set in three 8-bit registers (red
gain, green gain, and blue gain).
Code 0 gives the minimum input range (a maximum of 0.5 V);
Code 255 corresponds to the maximum input range (a minimum
of 1.0 V). Increasing the gain setting results in an image with
less contrast.
The offset control shifts the entire input range, resulting in a
change in image brightness. Three 7-bit registers (red offset,
green offset, and blue offset) provide independent settings for
each channel.
The offset controls provide a ±63 LSB adjustment range. This
range is connected with the full-scale range; therefore, if the
input range is doubled (from 0.5 V to 1.0 V), the offset step size
is also doubled (from 2 mV per step to 4 mV per step).
Figure 6 and Figure 7 illustrate the interaction of gain and offset
controls. The magnitude of an LSB in offset adjustment is proportional to the full-scale range, which is controlled by the gain
setting. Therefore, changing the full-scale range changes the
offset (see Figure 6). The change is minimal if the offset setting
is near midscale. When changing the offset, the full-scale range is
not affected, but the full-scale level is shifted by the same
amount as the zero-scale level.

CLOCK GENERATION
OFFSET = 0x7F
A phase-locked loop (PLL) is used to generate the pixel clock.
The HSYNC input provides a reference frequency for the PLL.
A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) generates a much higher
pixel clock frequency. This is divided by the PLL divide value
(MSBs in Register 0x01 and LSBs in Register 0x02) and phase
compared with the HSYNC input. Any error is used to shift the
VCO frequency and maintain lock between the two signals.

The stability of this clock is important for providing the clearest,
most stable image. During each pixel time, there is a period when
the signal slews from the old pixel amplitude and settles at its
new value. Then, the input voltage is stable until the signal slews
to a new value (see Figure 9). The ratio of the slewing time to the
stable time is a function of the bandwidth of the graphics DAC,
the bandwidth of the transmission system (cable and termination),
and the overall pixel rate. Clearly, if the dynamic characteristics
of the system remain fixed, the slewing and settling times are
likewise fixed. Subtract these times from the total pixel period to
determine the stable period. At higher pixel frequencies, both the
total cycle time and stable pixel time are shorter.

Figure 7. Relationship of Offset Range to Input Range
SYNC-ON-GREEN INPUT
The sync-on-green input operates in two steps. First, with the
aid of a negative peak detector, it sets a baseline clamp level
from the incoming video signal. Second, it sets the sync trigger
level (nominally 150 mV above the negative peak). The exact
trigger level is variable and can be programmed via Register 0x11.
The sync-on-green input must be ac-coupled to the green analog
input through its own capacitor, as shown in Figure 8.

Any jitter in the clock reduces the precision with which the
sampling time can be determined and, thus, must be subtracted
from the stable pixel time. The AD9887A clock generation
circuit is designed to minimize jitter to less than 6% of the total
pixel time in all operating modes, making its effect on valid
sampling time negligible (see Figure 10).
The PLL characteristics are determined by the loop-filter design,
the PLL charge-pump current, and the VCO range setting. The
loop-filter design is illustrated in Figure 11. Recommended settings
of VCO range and charge-pump current for VESA standard
display modes are listed in Table 7.

The following programmable registers are provided to optimize
the performance of the PLL:
•
The 2-Bit VCO Range Register. To lower the sensitivity of
the output frequency to noise on the control signal, the VCO
operating frequency range is divided into four overlapping
regions. The VCO range register sets this operating range.
Because there are only three possible regions, just 2 LSBs of
the VCO range register are used. The frequency ranges for
the lowest and highest regions are shown in Table 5.
The 12-Bit Divisor Register. The input Hsync frequencies
range from 15 kHz to 110 kHz. The PLL multiplies the
frequency of the Hsync signal, producing pixel clock
frequencies in the range of 12 MHz to 170 MHz. The
divisor register controls the exact multiplication factor. This
register can be set to any value between 221 and 4095. (The
divide ratio used is the programmed divide ratio plus one.)

The 5-Bit Phase Adjust Register. The phase of the
generated sampling clock can be shifted to locate an
optimum sampling point within a clock cycle. The phaseadjust register provides 32 phase-shift steps of 11.25° each.
The Hsync signal with an identical phase shift is available
through the HSOUT pin. Phase adjustment is operational
even if the pixel clock is provided externally. The COAST
signal allows the PLL to continue to run at the same frequency
in the absence of the incoming Hsync signal. This can be
used during the vertical sync period or any other time that
the Hsync signal is unavailable. The polarity of the coast
signal can be set through the COAST polarity bit, and the
polarity of the Hsync signal can be set through the HSYNC
polarity bit. If not using automatic polarity detection, set
the HSYNC and COAST polarity bits to match the polarity
of their respective signals.

ALTERNATE PIXEL SAMPLING MODE
Logic 1 input on CKINV (Pin 94) inverts the nominal ADC
clock. CKINV can be switched between frames to implement
the alternate pixel sampling mode. This allows higher effective
image resolution to be achieved at lower pixel rates, but with
lower frame rates.
On one frame, even pixels are digitized. On the subsequent
frame, odd pixels are sampled. By reconstructing the entire
frame in the graphics controller, a complete image can be
reconstructed. This is very similar to the interlacing process
used in broadcast television systems, but the interlacing is vertical
instead of horizontal. The frame data is presented to the display
at the full desired refresh rate (usually 60 Hz) so that no flicker
artifacts are added.

AD9887A
Three things happen to Hsync in the AD9887A. First, the polarity
of the HSYNC input is determined and, thus, has a known output
polarity. The known output polarity can be programmed either
active high or active low (Register 0x04, Bit 4). Second, HSOUT
is aligned with DATACK and data outputs. Third, the duration
of HSOUT (in pixel clocks) is set via Register 0x07. Use the
HSOUT signal to drive the rest of the display system.
TIMING—ANALOG INTERFACE
The timing diagrams (Figure 18 through Figure 27) show the
operation of the AD9887A analog interface in all clock modes.
The part establishes timing by sending the pixel corresponding
with the leading edge of Hsync to Data Port A. In dual-channel
mode, the next sample is sent to Data Port B. Subsequent samples
are alternated between the A and B data ports. In single-channel
mode, data is only sent to Data Port A, and Data Port B is placed
in a high impedance state.
Coast Timing
In most computer systems, the Hsync signal is provided
continuously on a dedicated wire. In these systems, the coast
input and function are unnecessary and should not be used.
In some systems, however, Hsync is disturbed during the vertical
sync (Vsync) period, and sometimes Hsync pulses disappear.
In other systems, such as those that use composite sync (Csync)
signals or those that embed sync-on-green (SOG), Hsync includes
equalization pulses or other distortions during Vsync. To avoid
upsetting the clock generator during Vsync, it is important to
ignore these distortions. If the pixel clock PLL sees extraneous
pulses, it attempts to lock on to this new frequency and changes
frequency by the end of the Vsync period. It then requires a few
lines of correct Hsync timing to recover at the beginning of a new
frame, resulting in a tearing of the image at the top of the display.
The output data clock signal is created so that its rising edge
always occurs between transitions of Data Port A and can be
used to latch the output data externally.

Hsync Timing
Horizontal sync is processed in the AD9887A to eliminate
ambiguity in the timing of the leading edge with respect to the
phase-delayed pixel clock and data.
The coast input is provided to eliminate this problem. It is an
asynchronous input that disables the PLL input and holds the
clock at its current frequency. The PLL can operate in this manner
for several lines without significant frequency drift.
The HSYNC input is used as a reference to generate the pixel
sampling clock. The sampling phase can be adjusted with respect
to Hsync through a full 360° in 32 steps via the phase adjust
register to optimize the pixel sampling time. Display systems
use Hsync to align memory and display write cycles; therefore,
it is important to have a stable timing relationship between the
HSYNC output (HSOUT) and data clock (DATACK).

AD9887A
THEORY OF OPERATION—INTERFACE DETECTION
ACTIVE INTERFACE DETECTION AND SELECTION
HOT-PLUG DETECT
For interface detection in the AD9887A, the system should
determine the correct interface and set the chip appropriately
through the serial bus. An external circuit should be used to
determine if the digital interface is active. A typical schematic
for this detection function is shown in Figure 28.
In some HDCP-enabled applications it may be desirable to be
able to switch between the analog and DVI interfaces without
having an DVI plug/unplug event. In these applications, the circuit
in Figure 29 should be used for the hot-plug detect connection.
The FET switch should be controlled by the system-level software
to force an HPD event whenever the selected interface is switched
from the analog input to the DVI input.

It is recommended that the system implement the interface
selection criteria, as described in Table 8. Because the digital
interface clock detect bit (0x11[4]) has been unreliable in some
applications, it is recommended that the active interface override
bit (0x12[7]) be set to 1. This allows the system to select the
interface through the serial bus register active interface select
(AIS) bit (0x12[6]). This selection should be based on the analog
interface detect obtained by OR’ing Bit 7, Bit 6, and Bit 5 of
Register 0x11 and on the digital interface detect obtained through
the external circuitry shown in Figure 28. When both interfaces
are active, priority must be determined by the system and the
appropriate interface must be selected via the AIS bit.
Figure 29. Manual Hot-Plug Detect
POWER MANAGEMENT
The AD9887A is a dual-interface device with shared outputs.
Because only one interface can be used at a time, the unused
interface should be powered down. When the analog interface is
being used, most of the digital interface circuitry can be powered
down and vice versa. This helps to minimize the total power
dissipation of the AD9887A. In addition, if neither interface has
activity on it, both interfaces should be powered down.
The correct power-down state is set by selecting an interface to
be active through the serial bus when either or both interfaces
are active, and by setting the power-down register bit (0x12[0])
to 0 when neither interface has activity on it. In a given power
mode, not all circuitry in the inactive interface is powered down
completely. When the digital interface is active, Hsync detect
circuitry is not powered down. SOG, outputs, and the band gap
reference are powered up if either interface is active. The serial
bus stays active even if the entire chip is powered down.

AD9887A
After the next clock cycle, the first bit is shifted to RED A and
the next bit appears at RED A. After 48 clock cycles, the first
bit is shifted to the BLUE B output and the 48th bit appears
at the RED A output. If SCANCLK continues after 48 cycles,
the data continues to be shifted from RED A to BLUE B
and comes out of the SCANOUT pin as serial data upon the falling
edge of SCANCLK. This is illustrated in Figure 30. A setup time (tSU)
of 3 ns should be more than adequate; no hold time (tHOLD) is
required (0 ns). This is illustrated in Figure 31.
SCAN FUNCTION
The scan function is intended as a pseudo JTAG function for the
manufacturing test of the board. The ordinary operation of the
AD9887A is disabled during scanning. To enable the scan function,
set Register 0x14, Bit 2, to 1. To scan data to all 48 digital outputs,
apply 48 serial bits of data and 48 clock cycles (typically 5 MHz,
maximum of 20 MHz) to the SCANIN and SCANCLK pins,
respectively. The data is shifted in upon the rising edge of SCANCLK.
The first serial bit shifted in appears at the RED A output after
one clock cycle.

AD9887A
THEORY OF OPERATION—DIGITAL INTERFACE
CAPTURING ENCODED DATA
HDCP
The first step in recovering encoded data is to capture the raw data.
To accomplish this, the AD9887A uses a high speed, phase-locked
loop (PLL) to generate clocks capable of oversampling the data
at the correct frequencies. The data capture circuitry continuously
monitors the incoming data during horizontal and vertical
blanking periods (when DE is low) and independently selects
the best sampling phase for each data channel. The phase information is stored and used until the next blanking period (one
video line).
The AD9887A contains circuitry necessary for decrypting
a high-bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP) encoded
DVI video stream. A typical HDCP implementation is shown in
Figure 32. Several features of the AD9887A make decryption
possible and ease the implementation of HDCP.
DATA FRAMES
The digital interface data is captured in groups, called data
frames, of 10 bits each. During the active data period, each
frame is made up of nine encoded video data bits and one dcbalancing bit. The data capture block receives this data serially,
but outputs each frame in parallel, 10-bit words.
SPECIAL CHARACTERS
During periods of horizontal or vertical blanking (when DE is
low), the digital transmitter transmits special characters that are
used to set the video frame boundaries and the phase recovery
loop for each channel. There are four special characters that can
be received. They are used to identify the top, bottom, left side,
and right side of each video frame. The data receiver can differentiate these special characters from active data, because the
special characters have a different number of transitions per
data frame.
CHANNEL RESYNCHRONIZATION
The purpose of the channel resynchronization block is to
resynchronize the three data channels to a single internal data
clock. Even if all three data channels are on different phases of
the PLL clock (0°, 120°, and 240°), this block can resynchronize
the channels from a worst-case skew of one full input period
(8.93 ns at 170 MHz).
DATA DECODER
The data decoder receives frames of data and sync signals from
the data capture block in 10-bit, parallel words and decodes
them into groups of eight RGB/YUV bits, two control bits, and
a data enable (DE) bit.
The basic components of HDCP are included in the AD9887A.
A slave serial bus connects to the DDC clock and the DDC data
pins on the DVI connector to allow the HDCP-enabled DVI
transmitter to coordinate the HDCP algorithm with the
AD9887A. A second serial port (MDA/MCL) allows the
AD9887A to read the HDCP keys and key selection vector
(KSV) stored in an external serial EEPROM. When transmitting
encrypted video, the DVI transmitter enables HDCP through
the DDC port.
The AD9887A then decodes the DVI stream using information
provided by the transmitter, HDCP keys, and KSV. The AD9887A
allows the MDA and MCL pins to be three-state, using the
MDA/MCL three-state bit (Register 0x1B, Bit 7) in the
configuration registers. The three-state feature allows the EEPROM
to be programmed in-circuit. The MDA/MCL port must be
three-state before attempting to program the EEPROM using an
external master. The keys are stored in an I2C®-compatible 3.3 V
serial EEPROM of at least 512 bytes. The EEPROM should have
a device address of 0xA0.
Proprietary software licensed from Analog Devices, Inc. encrypts
the keys and creates properly formatted EEPROM images for
use in a production environment. Encrypting the keys helps
maintain the confidentiality of the HDCP keys, as required by
the HDCP v1.0 specification. The AD9887A includes hardware
for decrypting the keys in the external EEPROM.
ADI provides a royalty-free license for the proprietary software
needed by customers to encrypt the keys between the AD9887A
and the EEPROM only after customers provide evidence of a
completed HDCP Adopter’s License Agreement and sign the Analog
Devices Software License Agreement. The Adopter’s License

2-WIRE SERIAL CONTROL REGISTER DETAILS
PLL Divide Ratio LSBs
The 4 LSBs of the 12-bit PLL divide ratio PLLDIV. The
operational divide ratio is PLLDIV + 1.
Chip Identification
0x00 7:0 Chip Revision
Bit 7 through Bit 4 represent functional revisions to the
analog interface. Changes in these bits generally indicate
that software and/or hardware changes are required for
the chip to work properly. Bit 3 through Bit 0 represent
nonfunctional related revisions and are reset to 0000
when the MSBs are changed. Changes in these bits are
considered transparent to the user.
The power-up default value of PLLDIV is 1693
(PLLDIVM = 0x69, PLLDIVL = 0xDx).
The AD9887A updates the full divide ratio only when
the user writes to this register.

VCO Range Select
The 8 MSBs of the 12-bit PLL divide ratio PLLDIV. (The
operational divide ratio is PLLDIV + 1.)
Two bits that establish the operating range of the clock
generator.
The PLL derives a pixel clock from the incoming Hsync
signal. The pixel clock frequency is then divided by an
integer value, such that the output is phase-locked to
Hsync. This PLLDIV value determines the number of
pixel times (pixels plus horizontal blanking overhead)
per line. This is typically 20% to 30% more than the
number of active pixels in the display.
VCORNGE must be set to correspond with the desired
operating frequency (incoming pixel rate).
The 12-bit value of the PLL divider supports divide ratios
from 221 to 4095. The higher the value loaded in this
register, the higher the resulting clock frequency with
respect to a fixed Hsync frequency. VESA has established
standard timing specifications that help determine the value
for PLLDIV as a function of horizontal and vertical display
resolution and frame rate (Table 7). However, many computer systems do not conform precisely to the recommendations, and these numbers should be used only as a
guide. The display system manufacturer should provide
automatic or manual means for optimizing PLLDIV. An
incorrectly set PLLDIV usually produces one or more
vertical noise bars on the display. The greater the error, the
greater the number of bars produced. The power-up default
of PLLDIV is 1693 (PLLDIVM = 0x69, PLLDIVL = 0xDx).
The PLL provides the best jitter performance at high
frequencies. To output low pixel rates while minimizing
jitter, the PLL operates at a higher frequency and divides
down the clock rate afterwards. Table 10 shows the pixel
rates for each VCO range setting. The PLL output divisor
is automatically selected with the VCO range setting.

For the best results, the clamp duration should be set to
include the majority of the black reference signal time
that follows the Hsync signal trailing edge. Insufficient
clamping time can produce brightness changes at the top
of the screen and can cause slow recovery from large
changes in the average picture level (APL) or brightness.

Hsync Pulse Width
0x07 7:0 Hsync Output Pulse Width
An 8-bit register that sets the duration of the Hsync
output pulse.
The leading edge of the Hsync output is triggered by the
internally generated, phase-adjusted PLL feedback clock.
The AD9887A counts the number of pixel clock cycles
set in this register. This triggers the trailing edge of the
Hsync output, which is also phase adjusted.
See Table 7 for the recommended CURRENT settings.
The power-up default value is CURRENT = 001.
0x04 7:3
Clock Phase Adjust
A 5-bit value that adjusts the sampling phase in 32 steps
across one pixel period. Each step represents an 11.2°
shift in sampling phase.
Input Gain
0x08 7:0 Red Channel Gain Adjust (REDGAIN)
An 8-bit word that sets the gain of the red channel.
The AD9887A can accommodate input signals with a
full-scale range between 0.5 V and 1.5 V p-p. Setting
REDGAIN to 255 corresponds to an input range of
1.0 V. A REDGAIN of 0 establishes an input range of
0.5 V. Note that increasing REDGAIN results in the
picture having less contrast because the input signal uses
fewer of the available converter codes (see Figure 6).
The power-up default value is 16.
Clamp Timing
0x05 7:0 Clamp Placement
An 8-bit register that sets the position of the internally
generated clamp.
When EXTCLMP = 0, a clamp signal is generated
internally at a position established by the clamp
placement for a duration set by the clamp duration.
Clamping is started [clamp placement] pixel periods
after the trailing edge of Hsync. The clamp placement
can be programmed to any value between 1 and 255.
A value of 0 is not supported.
The clamp should be placed during a time when the
input signal presents a stable black-level reference,
usually during a period between Hsync and the image
called the back porch. When EXTCLMP = 1, this
register is ignored.

Input Offset

Clamp Duration
An 8-bit register that sets the duration of the internally
generated clamp.
When EXTCLMP = 0, a clamp signal is generated
internally at a position established by the clamp
placement for a duration set by the clamp duration.
Clamping is started [clamp placement] pixel periods
after the trailing edge of Hsync and continues for [clamp
duration] pixel periods. The clamp duration can be
programmed to a value between 1 and 255. A value of 0
is not supported.
Rev. B | Page 36 of 52
A 7-bit offset binary word that sets the dc offset of the
red channel (REDOFST). An offset adjustment of 1 LSB
equals approximately 1 LSB change in the ADC offset.
Therefore, the absolute magnitude of the offset adjustment
scales as the gain of the channel changes. A nominal setting
of 63 results in the channel nominally clamping to Code 00
during the back porch clamping interval. An offset setting
of 127 results in the channel clamping to Code 63 of the
ADC. An offset setting of 0 clamps to Code −63 (off the
bottom of the range). Increasing the value of red offset
decreases the brightness of the channel.

Analog Interface HSYNC Detect
0x11 3
This bit indicates which interface should be active,
analog or digital. It checks for activity on the analog and
digital interfaces, then determines which should be
active according to the conditions outlined in Table 34.
Specifically, analog interface detection is determined by
OR’ing Bit 7, Bit 6, and Bit 5 from this register.
This bit is used to indicate when activity is detected on
the HSYNC input pin (Pin 82). If HSYNC is held high or
low, activity is not detected.

sync separator counts before toggling high or low. It works
like a low-pass filter to ignore Hsync pulses in order to
extract the Vsync signal. This register should be set to a
number greater than the maximum Hsync pulse width.

AD9887A
2-Wire Serial Control Port
Data Transfer via Serial Interface
A 2-wire serial interface control port is provided. Up to four
AD9887A devices can be connected to the 2-wire serial
interface, with each device having a unique address.
For each byte of data read or written, the MSB is the first bit of
the sequence.
The 2-wire serial interface comprises a clock (SCL) and a
bidirectional data (SDA) pin. The analog flat panel interface
acts as a slave for receiving and transmitting data over the serial
interface. When the serial interface is not active, the logic levels
on SCL and SDA are pulled high by external pull-up resistors.
Data received or transmitted on the SDA line must be stable for
the duration of the positive-going SCL pulse. Data on SDA must
change only when SCL is low. If SDA changes state while SCL
is high, the serial interface interprets that action as a start or
stop sequence.
There are five components to serial bus operation:
•
•
•
•
•
Start signal
Slave address byte
Base register address byte
Data byte to read or write
Stop signal
The first eight bits of data transferred after a start signal comprise
a 7-bit slave address (the first seven bits) and a single R/W bit
(the eighth bit). The R/W bit indicates the direction of data transfer,
reading from (1) or writing to (0) the slave device. If the transmitted slave address matches the address of the device (set by
the state of the A1 and A0 input pins listed in Table 60), the
AD9887A acknowledges it by bringing SDA low on the ninth
SCL pulse. If the addresses do not match, the AD9887A does
not acknowledge it.

Writing data to a specific control register of the AD9887A
requires writing to its 8-bit address after the slave address has
been established. This control register address is the base
address for subsequent write operations. The base address autoincrements by one for each byte of data written after the data
byte intended for the base address is established. If more bytes
are transferred than there are available addresses, the address
does not increment and remains at its maximum value of 0x1D.
Any base address higher than 0x1D does not produce an
acknowledge signal.
Data is read from the control registers of the AD9887A in a
similar manner. Reading requires two data transfer operations.
When the serial interface is inactive (SCL and SDA are high),
communication is initiated by sending a start signal. The start
signal is a high-to-low transition on SDA while SCL is high.
This signal alerts all slaved devices that a data transfer sequence
is coming.

If the AD9887A does not acknowledge the master device
during a write sequence, the SDA remains high so that the
master can generate a stop signal. If the master device does
not acknowledge the AD9887A during a read sequence, the
AD9887A interprets this as the end of the data. The SDA
remains high so that the master can generate a stop signal.

The base address must be written with the R/W bit of the slave
address byte low to set up a sequential read operation.
Reading begins at the previously established base address with
the R/W bit of the slave address byte high. The address of the
read register auto-increments after each byte is transferred.
To terminate a read/write sequence to the AD9887A, a stop
signal must be sent. A stop signal comprises a low-to-high
transition of SDA while SCL is high. The timing for the
read/write operations is shown in Figure 41; a typical byte
transfer is shown in Figure 42.
A repeated start signal occurs when the master device driving
the serial interface generates a start signal without first generating
a stop signal to terminate the current communication. This is
used to change the mode of communication (read, write) between
the slave and master without releasing the serial interface lines.

AD9887A
THEORY OF OPERATION—SYNC PROCESSING
The basic idea is that the counter counts up when Hsync pulses
are present. Since Hsync pulses are relatively short in width, the
counter only reaches a value of N before the pulse ends. It then
starts counting down, eventually reaching 0 before the next
Hsync pulse arrives. The specific value of N varies among video
modes, but is always less than 255. For example, with a 1 μs
width Hsync, the counter only reaches 5 (1 μs/200 ns = 5).
When Vsync is present on the composite sync, the counter also
counts up. Because the Vsync signal is much longer, it counts to
a higher number M. For most video modes, M is at least 255.
Therefore, Vsync can be detected on the composite sync signal
by detecting when the counter counts to higher than N. The
specific count that triggers detection, the threshold count (T),
can be programmed through the serial Register 0x0F. Once
Vsync is detected, there is a similar process to detect when it
becomes inactive. Upon detection, the counter first resets to 0,
then counts up when Vsync disappears. Similar to the previous
case, it detects the absence of Vsync when the counter reaches
T. In this way, it rejects noise and/or serration pulses. Once
Vsync is detected to be absent, the counter resets to 0 and
begins the cycle again.
SYNC STRIPPER
The purpose of the sync stripper is to extract the sync signal
from the green graphics channel. A sync signal is not present on
all graphics systems, only those with sync-on-green. The sync
signal is extracted from the green channel in a two-step process.
First, the SOG input is clamped to its negative peak (typically
0.3 V below the black level). Next, the signal goes to a comparator
with a trigger level that is 0.15 V above the clamped level. The
output signal is typically a composite sync signal containing
both Hsync and Vsync.
SYNC SEPARATOR
A sync separator extracts the Vsync signal from a composite
sync signal by using a low-pass filter-like or integrator-like
operation. It works on the idea that the Vsync signal stays active
much longer than the Hsync signal. Therefore, it rejects any signal
shorter than a threshold value, which is somewhere in the range
between an Hsync pulse width and a Vsync pulse width.
The sync separator on the AD9887A is simply an 8-bit digital
counter with a 5 MHz clock. It works independently of the
polarity of the composite sync signal. (Polarities are determined
elsewhere on the chip.)

PCB LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
The AD9887A is a high performance, high speed analog device.
To optimize its performance, it is important to have a well laid
out board. The following is a guide for designing a board using
the AD9887A.
The fundamental idea is to have a bypass capacitor within about
0.5 cm of each power pin. Also, avoid placing the capacitor on
the side of the PC board opposite from the AD9887A, because
this interposes resistive vias in the path.
ANALOG INTERFACE INPUTS
The bypass capacitors should physically be located between the
power plane and the power pin. Current should flow from the
power plane to the capacitor to the power pin. Do not make the
power connection between the capacitor and the power pin.
Placing a via underneath the capacitor pads, down to the power
plane, is generally the best approach.
•
•
Minimize the trace length running into the graphics inputs.
This is accomplished by placing the AD9887A as close as
possible to the graphics VGA connector. Long input trace
lengths are undesirable because they pick up noise from
the board and other external sources.
Place the 75 Ω termination resistors as close to the AD9887A
chip as possible. Any additional trace length between the
termination resistors and the input of the AD9887A
increases the magnitude of reflections, which corrupts the
graphics signal.
Use 75 Ω matched impedance traces. Trace impedances
other than 75 Ω also increase the chance of reflections.
The AD9887A has very high input bandwidth (330 MHz).
Although this is desirable for acquiring a high resolution PC
graphics signal with fast edges, it means that it also captures any
high frequency noise present. Therefore, it is important to reduce
the amount of noise coupled to the inputs. Avoid running any
digital traces near the analog inputs. Due to the high bandwidth
of the AD9887A, sometimes low-pass filtering the analog inputs
can help reduce noise. (For many applications, filtering is unnecessary.) Experiments have shown that placing a series ferrite
bead in front of the 75 Ω termination resistor can filter out
excess noise. Specifically, the part used was the #2508051217Z0
from Fair-Rite, but each application might work best with a
different bead value. Alternatively, placing a 100 Ω to 120 Ω
resistor between the 75 Ω termination resistor and the input
coupling capacitor can also be beneficial.
DIGITAL INTERFACE INPUTS
Some graphics controllers use substantially different levels of
power when active (during active picture time) and when idle
(during horizontal and vertical sync periods). This can result in
a measurable change in the voltage supplied to the analog
supply regulator, which can in turn produce changes in the
regulated analog supply voltage. This can be mitigated by
regulating the analog supply, or at least PVD, from a different,
cleaner power source (for example, from a 12 V supply).
It is recommended to use a single ground plane for the entire
board. Experience shows that noise performance is the same or
better with a single ground plane. Using multiple ground planes
can be detrimental because each separate ground plane is
smaller and can result in long ground loops.
In some cases, using separate ground planes is unavoidable. For
these cases, it is recommended to place at least a single ground
plane under the AD9887A. The location of the split should be at
the receiver of the digital outputs. For these cases, it is even
more important to place components wisely because the current
loops are much longer, and current takes the path of least
resistance. An example of a current loop follows.

It is recommended to bypass each power supply pin with a
0.1 μF capacitor. The exception is when two or more supply
pins are adjacent to each other. For these groupings of
powers/grounds, it is only necessary to have one bypass
capacitor.

Each differential input pair (Rx0+, Rx0−, RxC+, RxC−, and so
on) should be routed together using 50 Ω strip line routing
techniques kept as short as possible. No other components
should be placed on these inputs (for example, no clamping
diodes). Every effort should be made to route these signals on a
single layer (component layer) with no vias.
It is particularly important to maintain low noise and good
stability of PVD (the clock generator supply). Abrupt changes in
PVD can result in similarly abrupt changes in sampling clock
phase and frequency. This can be avoided by careful regulation,
filtering, and bypassing. It is highly desirable to provide separate
regulated supplies for each of the analog circuitry groups (VD
and PVD).

Using the following layout techniques on the graphics inputs is
extremely important.
AD9887A
PLL
Place the PLL loop filter components as close as possible to the
FILT pin. Do not place any digital or other high frequency
traces near these components. Use the values suggested in the
Specifications section with 10% tolerances or less.
OUTPUTS—BOTH DATA AND CLOCKS
Try to minimize the trace length that the digital outputs must
drive. Longer traces have higher capacitance, requiring more
current and causing more internal digital noise. Shorter traces
reduce the possibility of reflections.
Adding a series resistor with a value of 22 Ω to 100 Ω can suppress
reflections, reduce EMI, and reduce the current spikes inside of
the AD9887A. However, if 50 Ω traces are used on the PCB, the
data outputs should not need these resistors. A 22 Ω resistor on
the DATACK output should provide good impedance matching
that further reduces reflections. If EMI or current spiking is a
concern, it is recommended to use a lower drive strength setting.
If series resistors are used, place them as close as possible to the
AD9887A pins, but try not to add vias or extra length to the
output trace.
keeping traces short and connecting the outputs to only one
device. Loading the outputs with excessive capacitance increases
the current transients inside the AD9887A, creating digital
noise on the power supplies.
DIGITAL INPUTS
The digital inputs on the AD9887A are designed to work with
3.3 V signals.
Any noise in the HSYNC input trace produces jitter in the
system. Therefore, minimize the trace length and do not run
any digital or other high frequency traces near it.
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The voltage reference should be bypassed with a 0.1 μF
capacitor. Place it as close as possible to the AD9887A pin.
Make the ground connection as short as possible.
REFOUT is easily connected to REFIN with a short trace.
Avoid making this trace longer than necessary.
When using an external reference, the REFOUT output,
although unused, still needs to be bypassed with a 0.1 μF
capacitor to avoid ringing.
If possible, limit the capacitance that each of the digital outputs
drives to less than 10 pF. This can be accomplished easily by
