Output Interface—Control Outputs

PCLK (Parallel Clock): The parallel output or word clock,

PCLK, is synchronous with the parallel data outputs, PD0–9.

The rising edge of PCLK is located at the center of the

parallel data window.

TRS (Timing Reference Signal): The active-low TRS out-

put pulse is four parallel clock periods long. TRS is active

during decoding of both composite and component video

signals.

EAV (End of Active Video): The EAV output is pulsed low

for one cycle of the parallel clock every time an EAV timing

reference is detected during decoding of component video.

The pulse is coincident with the fourth word of the timing

reference (the XYZ word). During reception of composite

video, this output is always asserted high.

NSP (New Sync Position): The active-low NSP output in-

dicates that the most recently received TRS is in a different

position relative to the previous TRS. NSP remains high until

the parallel rate clock is properly aligned with the TRS, then

goes low.

PCB Layout Guidelines

The CLC011 is not as sensitive to PCB layout as some Serial

Digital Video decoders. The following suggestions will help

achieve and maintain optimum system performance.

1.

Locate the CLC011 decoder away from equalizers and

other sensitive circuitry to avoid unwanted crosstalk from

clock and data outputs which may degrade system per-

formance.

2.

The trace from the signal input connector to the CLC011

must be kept short and should not run parallel to the

data output traces.

3.

Bypass each power pin with a 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF mono-

lithic ceramic capacitor.

4.

Power the CLC011 and other clock recovery circuitry

from a separate power supply network from that of other

digital circuitry on the board.

Evaluation Board

Evaluation boards are available for a nominal charge that

demonstrate the basic operation of the SDI/SDV/SDH de-

vices. The evaluation boards can be ordered through Nation-

al’s Distributors. Supplies are limited, please check for cur-

rent availability.

The SD901EVK SMPTE 259M Receiver evaluation kit pro-

vides an operating environment in which the decoder can be

evaluated by system / hardware designers. The evaluation

board has all the needed circuitry and connectors for easy

connection and checkout of the device circuit options as

discussed in the CLC011 datasheet. A schematic, parts list

and pictorial drawing are provided with the board.
