Multi-Rate Clock Generator's High-Integration and Miniature Size Simplify Video Equipment Design
The LMH1982's high-integration and small 5 mm by 5 mm package size simplifies the design of video cameras, digital recorders and a wide range of video editing and post-production equipment. The LMH1982 can replace discrete and FPGA phase-lock loops (PLLs) with multiple voltage controlled crystal oscillators (VCXOs), while offering low total power dissipation of 250 mW. Only one external VCXO is required to operate the LMH1982. The device can generate two simultaneous SD and HD output clocks and an output top of frame (TOF) timing pulse. In genlock mode, these output signals can be phase-locked to H and V sync signals applied to either of the reference ports.
The LMH1982's low-jitter output clocks are capable of driving FPGA serializers without the need for additional clock cleansing. The device's integrated PLLs can synchronize the output clocks to an analog timing reference from National's LMH1981 multi-format video sync separator or a digital timing reference from an SDI deserializer. The use of an external loop filter offers additional configurability to optimize rejection of reference input timing jitter.
Key Features - LMH1982 Video Clock Generator with Genlock
Offered in a small, space-saving 32-pin LLP(R) package, National's LMH1982 3G/HD/SD multi-rate video clock generator provides two simultaneous low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) output clocks with selectable frequencies for SD (27 MHz or 67.5 MHz) and HD (74.25 MHz, 74.25/1.001 MHz, 148.5 MHz or 148.5/1.001 MHz) resolutions. The LMH1982 supports NTSC/525i, PAL/625i, 525p, 625p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p video timing. An I2C compatible bus interface is included for programming device registers and reading device status. The LMH1982 operates from 3.3V and 2.5V supplies.
