A logic zero on this control input drives the analog outputs to the blanking level, as shown in Table V. The BLANK signal is latched on the rising edge of PCLK. While BLANK is a logical zero, the pixel inputs are ignored. Clock input (TTL compatible). The rising edge of PCLK latches the P0–P7 data inputs and the BLANK control input. It is typically the pixel clock rate of the video system. PCLK should be driven by a dedicated TTL buffer. Pixel select inputs (TTL compatible). These inputs specify, on a pixel basis, which one of the 256 entries in the color palette RAM is to be used to provide color information. P0–P7 pixel select inputs are latched on the rising edge of PCLK. P0 is the LSB. Unused pixel select inputs should be connected to GND. Red, green and blue current outputs. These high impedance current sources are capable of directly driving a doubly terminated 75 Ω coaxial cable, as shown in Figure 4a. All three current outputs should have similar output loads whether or not they are all being used. Analog power supply (5 V ± 10%). Analog ground. Current reference input. The relationship between the current input and the full scale output voltage of the DACs is given by the following expression: IREF = VO (Full Scale)/2.15 3 RL RL = Load Resistance Write control input (TTL compatible). WR must be at logical zero when writing data to the device. D0–D7 data is latched on the rising edge of WR. See Figure 1. Read control input (TTL compatible). RD must both be at logical zero when reading data from the device. See Figure 1. Command control inputs (TTL compatible). RS0 and RS1 specify the type of read or write operation being carried out, i.e., address register or color palette RAM read or write operations. See Tables I, II, III. Data bus (TTL compatible). Data is transferred to and from the address register and the color palette RAM over this 8-bit bidirectional data bus. D0 is the least significant bit. OBS VCC GND IREF WR RD RS0, RS1 D0–D7 OLE TERMINOLOGY Blanking Level The level separating the SYNC portion from the Video portion of the waveform. Usually referred to as the Front Porch or Back Porch. At 0 IRE Units, it is the level which will shut off the picture tube, resulting in the blackest possible picture. Color Video (RGB) This usually refers to the technique of combining the three primary colors of Red, Green and Blue to produce color pictures within the usual spectrum. In RGB monitors, three DACs are required, one for each color. Gray Scale The discrete levels of video signal between Reference Black and Reference White levels. An 8-bit DAC contains 256 different levels while a 6-bit DAC contains 64. REV. B TE Raster Scan The most basic method of sweeping a CRT one line at a time to generate and display images. Reference Black Level The maximum negative polarity amplitude of the video signal. Reference White Level The maximum positive polarity amplitude of the video signal. Video Signal That portion of the composite video signal which varies in gray scale levels between Reference White and Reference Black. Also referred to as the picture signal, this is the portion which may be visually observed. –5– ADV476 address register increments to the next location which the MPU may read by simply reading another sequence of red, green and blue data. MPU Interface As illustrated in the functional block diagram, the ADV476 supports a standard MPU bus interface, allowing the MPU direct access to the color palette RAM. This 6-bit color data is right justified, i.e., the lower six bits of the data bus with D0 being the LSB and D5 the MSB. D6 and D7 are ignored during a color write cycle and are set to zero during a color read cycle. The RS0 and RS1 control inputs specify whether the MPU is accessing the address register or the color palette RAM, as shown in Table I. The 8-bit address register is used to address the color palette RAM, eliminating the requirement for external address multiplexers. During color palette RAM access, the address register resets to 00H following a blue read or write operation to RAM location FFH. Table I. Control Input Truth Table RS1 RS0 The MPU interface operates asynchronously to the pixel clock. Data transfers between the color palette RAM and the color registers (R, G, and B in the block diagram) are synchronized by internal logic, and occur in the period between MPU accesses. Color (RGB) data is normally loaded to the color palette RAM during video screen retrace, i.e., during the video waveform blanking period, see Figure 5. Addressed by MPU OBS 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 Pixel Address Register (RAM Write Mode) Pixel Address Register (RAM Read Mode) Color Palette RAM Pixel Read Mask Register To keep track of the red, green and blue read/write cycles, the address register has two additional bits (ADDRa, ADDRb) that count modulo three, as shown in Table II. They are reset to zero when the MPU writes to the address register, and are not reset to zero when the MPU reads the address register. The MPU does not have access to these bits. The other eight bits of the address register, incremented following a blue read or write cycle, (ADDR0–7) are accessible to the MPU, and are used to address color palette RAM locations, as shown in Table III. ADDR0 is the LSB when the MPU is accessing the RAM. The MPU may read the address register at any time without modifying its contents or the existing read/write mode. OLE To write color data, the MPU writes to the address register with the 8-bit address of the color palette RAM location which is to be modified. The MPU performs three successive write cycles (six bits of red data, six bits of green data and six bits of blue data). During the blue write cycle, the three bytes of color information are concatenated into an 18-bit word and written to the location specified by the address register. The address register then automatically increments to the next location which the MPU may modify by simply writing another sequence of red, green and blue data. TE To read back color data, the MPU loads the address register with the address of the color palette RAM location to be read. The MPU performs three successive read cycles (6 bits each of red, green and blue data). Following the blue read cycle, the Figure 1 illustrates the MPU read/write timing and Table III shows the associated functional instructions. Table II.

B ADV476 Frame Buffer Interface The P0-P7 inputs are used to address the color palette RAM, as shown in Table IV. These inputs are latched on the rising edge of PCLK and address any of the 256 locations in the color palette RAM. The addressed location contains 18 bits of color (6 bits of red, 6 bits of green and 6 bits of blue) information. This data is transferred to the three DACs and is then converted to an analog output (RED, GREEN, BLUE), these outputs then control the red, green and blue electron guns in the monitor. buffer or the color palette RAM. The effect of this operation is to partition the color palette into a user determined number of color planes. This process can be used for special effects including animation, overlays and flashing objects. (See also application note entitled “Animation Using the Pixel Read Mask Register of the ADV47x Series of Video RAMDACs,” available from Analog Devices (Pub No. E1316–15–10/89). The BLANK input is also latched on the rising edge of PCLK. This is to maintain synchronization with the color data. Table IV.

This is achieved by gating the input pixel stream (P0–P7) with the contents of the pixel read mask register. The operation is a bitwise logical ANDing of the pixel data. The contents of This register can be accessed and altered at any time by the MPU (D0–D7). Table I shows the relevant control signals. TE Figure 3. Block Diagram Showing Pixel Read Mask Register This pixel masking operation can be used to alter the displayed colors without changing the contents of either the video frame Analog Interface The ADV476 has three analog outputs, corresponding to the Red, Green and Blue video signals. The Red, Green and Blue analog outputs of the ADV476 are high impedance current sources. Each one of these three RGB current outputs is capable of directly driving a 37.5 Ω load, such as a doubly-terminated 75 Ω coaxial cable. Figure 4a shows the required configuration for each of the three RGB outputs connected into a doubly-terminated 75 Ω load. This arrangement will develop RS-343A video output voltage levels across a 75 Ω monitor. A simple method of driving RS-170 video levels into a 75 Ω monitor is shown in Figure 4b. The output current levels of the DACs remain unchanged but the source termination resistance, ZS on each of the three DACs is increased from 75 Ω to 150 Ω. More detailed information regarding load terminations for various output configurations, including RS-343A and RS-170, is available in an application note entitled “Video Formats & Required Load Terminations,” available from Analog Devices. Figure 5 shows the video waveforms associated with the three RGB outputs, driving the doubly terminated 75 Ω load of Figure 4a. The BLANK control input drives the analog outputs to the Black Level. BLANK is asserted prior to horizontal and vertical screen retrace. Table V details how the BLANK input modifies the output levels. Figure 4b.

I REF = 8.88 mA. Reference Input TE The ADV476 requires an active current reference to enable the DACs provide stable and accurate video output levels. The relationship between the output voltage and the required input reference current is given by: I REF = VO (FULL SCALE ) 2.15 × RL where RL = 37.5 Ω = 75 Ω (for doubly terminated 75 Ω load) (for singly terminated 75 Ω load) and VO = 0.714 V (RS-343A video levels) = 1.0 V (RS-170 video levels). In a standard application which requires RS-343A video levels to be driven into a doubly terminated 75 Ω load (RL = 37.5 Ω), the necessary reference input current is: IREF = 8.88 mA. To drive the same levels into a singly terminated 75 Ω load (RL = 75 Ω), the reference current is: Figure 6. Current Reference Design Using an LM334 Current Source IREF = 4.44 mA. A suggested current reference design for the doubly terminated case, with RS-343A video levels and based on the LM334, a three-terminal adjustable current source, is shown in Figure 6. –8– REV. B ADV476 PC BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS The ADV476 is optimally designed for lowest noise performance, both radiated and conducted noise. For optimum system noise performance, it is imperative that great care be given to the PC board layout. The layout should be optimized for lowest noise on the ADV476 power and ground lines. This can be achieved by shielding the digital inputs and providing good decoupling. The lead length between groups of VCC and GND pins should by minimized so as to minimize inductive ringing. Ground Planes The ground plane should encompass all ADV476 ground pins, voltage reference circuitry, power supply bypass circuitry, the analog output traces and all the digital signal traces leading up to the ADV476. OBS Power Planes The PC board layout should have two distinct power planes, one for analog circuitry and one for digital circuitry. The analog power plane (VCC) should encompass the ADV476 and all associated analog circuitry. This power plane should be connected to the regular PCB power plane at a single point through a ferrite bead, as illustrated in Figure 7. This bead should be located within three inches of the ADV476. It is important to note that while the ADV476 contains circuitry to reject power supply noise, this rejection decreases with frequency. If a high frequency switching power supply is used, the designer should pay close attention to reducing power supply noise. A dc power supply filter (Murata BNX002) will provide EMI suppression between the switching power supply and the main PCB. Alternatively, consideration could be given to using a three terminal voltage regulator. Digital Signal Interconnect The digital signal lines to the ADV476 should be isolated as much as possible from the analog outputs and other analog circuitry. Digital signal lines should not overlay the analog power plane. Due to the high clock rates used, long clock lines to the ADV476 should be avoided so as to minimize noise pickup. Any active pull-up termination resistors for the digital inputs should be connected to the regular PCB power plane and not the analog power plane. OLE The PCB power plane should provide power to all digital logic on the PC board, and the analog power plane should provide power to all ADV476 power pins, current reference circuitry and any output amplifiers. Analog Signal Interconnect The ADV476 should be located as close as possible to the output connectors thus minimizing noise pickup and reflections due to impedance mismatch. TE The video output signals should overlay the ground plane, and not the analog power plane, thereby maximizing the high frequency power supply rejection. The PCB power and ground planes should not overlay portions of the analog power plane. Keeping the PCB power and ground planes from overlaying the analog power plane will contribute to a reduction in plane-to-plane noise coupling. For optimum performance, the analog outputs should each have a source termination resistance to ground of 75 Ω. This termination resistance should be as close as possible to the ADV476 to minimize reflections. Supply Decoupling Note: For additional information on PC Board-Layout see Application Note “Design and Layout of a Video Graphics System for Reduced EMI”, available from Analog Devices (Pub. No. E1309–15–10/89). Noise on the analog power plane can be further reduced by the use of multiple decoupling capacitors, see Figure 7. Optimum performance is achieved by the use of 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors. This should be done by placing the capacitors as close as possible to the device with the capacitor leads as short as possible, thus minimizing lead inductance. REV.
