Triple 8-bit MSPS A/D Converters with Line-Locked Clock Generator
General Description
Features
• 3-channel 8-bit analog-to-digital conversion up to 165 MHz
The ICS1531 is a high-performance, cost-effective,
3-channel, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter with an
integrated line-locked clock generator. It is part of a family
of chips intended for high-resolution video applications that
use analog inputs, such as LCD monitors, LCD projectors,
plasma displays, and projection TVs. Using ICS's
low-voltage CMOS mixed-signal technology, the ICS1531
is an effective data-capture solution for resolutions from
VGA to UXGA.
• Direct connection to analog input data (no external
pre-amplifier circuit needed)
• Video amplifier: 500-MHz analog bandwidth,
software-adjustable gain
• Dynamic Phase Adjust (DPA) for software-adjustable
analog sample points
• Software selectable: One pixel per clock (for 24-bit
pixels) or two pixels per clock (for a total of 48 bits)
The ICS1531 offers analog-to-digital data conversion and
synchronized pixel clock generation at speeds of 100, 140, or
165 MHz (or mega samples per second, MSPS). The
Dynamic Phase Adjust (DPA) circuitry allows end-user
control over the pixel clock phase, relative to the recovered
sync signal and analog pixel data. Either the internal pixel
clock can be used as a capture clock input to the
analog-to-digital converters or an external clock input can be
used. The ICS1531 provides either one or two 24-bit pixels
per clock. An ADCSYNC output pin provides recovered
HSYNC from the pixel clock phase-locked-loop (PLL)
divider chain output, which can be used to synchronize
display enable output.
• Internal clamp circuit. Very low jitter.
• Low-voltage TTL clock outputs, synchronized with
digital pixel data outputs
• Independent software reset for PLLs and DPA
• Double-buffered PLL and DPA control registers
• Two additional PLLs with spread spectrum for memory
and panel clock
• External/internal loop-filter selection with software
• Automatic Power-On Reset (POR) detection
• Uses 3.3 VDC. Digital inputs are 5-V tolerant.
• Industry-standard 2-wire serial bus interface speeds:
low (100 kHz), high (400 kHz), or ultra (800 kHz)
A clamp signal can be generated internally or provided
through the CLAMP pin. A high-bandwidth video amplifier
with adjustable gain allows fine tuning of the analog signal.
The advanced PLL uses an internal programmable feedback
divider. Two additional, independent programmable PLLs,
each with spread-spectrum functionality, support memory
and panel clock requirements.
• Lock detection available in hardware and software
• 144-pin low-profile quad flat pack (LQFP) package
Applications
• LCD displays, LCD projectors, plasma displays, and
projection TVs
