AD9886
–23–
06
7–0
An 8-bit register that sets the duration of the internally
generated clamp.
When EXTCLMP = 0, a clamp signal is generated inter-
nally, at a position established by the clamp placement
and 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 may be programmed to any
value between 1 and 255. A value of 0 is not supported.
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 clamp-
ing time can produce brightness changes at the top of the
screen, and a slow recovery from large changes in the
Average Picture Level (APL), or brightness.
When EXTCLMP = 1, this register is ignored.
Hsync Pulsewidth

7–0
Hsync Output Pulsewidth
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 AD9886 then counts a number of pixel clocks equal
to the value in this register. This triggers the trailing edge
of the Hsync output, which is also phase-adjusted.

INPUT GAIN
08
7–0
An 8-bit word that sets the gain of the RED channel.
The AD9886 can accommodate input signals with a
full-scale range of 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 (the input signal uses fewer
of the available converter codes). See Figure 3.

Green Channel Gain Adjust
An 8-bit word that sets the gain of the GREEN channel.
See REDGAIN (08).

Blue Channel Gain Adjust
An 8-bit word that sets the gain of the BLUE channel.
See REDGAIN (08).
Red Channel Gain Adjust
INPUT OFFSET
0B
7–1
A 7-bit offset binary word that sets the dc offset of the RED
channel. One LSB of offset adjustment equals approximately
one LSB change in the ADC offset. Therefore, the absolute
magnitude of the offset adjustment scales as the gain of the
channel is changed. A nominal setting of 31 results in the
channel nominally clamping the back porch (during the
clamping interval) to Code 00. An offset setting of 63 results
in the channel clamping to Code 31 of the ADC. An offset
setting of 0 clamps to code –31 (off the bottom of the
range). Increasing the value of Red Offset DECREASES
the brightness of the channel.

Green Channel Offset Adjust
A 7-bit offset binary word that sets the dc offset of the
GREEN channel. See REDOFST (0B).
Red Channel Offset Adjust

A 7-bit offset binary word that sets the dc offset of the
GREEN channel. See REDOFST (0B).

Channel Mode
A bit that determines whether all pixels are presented to a
single port (A), or alternating pixels are demultiplexed to
Ports A and B.
Table VIII. Channel Mode Settings
DEMUX
Function
0
1
All Data Goes to Port A
Alternate Pixels Go to Port A and Port B
When DEMUX = 0, Port B outputs are in a high-imped-
ance state. The maximum data rate for single port mode
is 100 MHz. The timing diagrams show the effects of this
option.
The power-up default value is 1.
6
Output Mode
A bit that determines whether all pixels are presented to
Port A and Port B simultaneously on every second
DATACK rising edge, or alternately on port A and Port B
on successive DATACK rising edges.

PARALLEL
Function

Data Is Interleaved
Data Is Simultaneous On Every Other
Data Clock
When in single port mode (DEMUX = 0), this bit is
ignored. The timing diagrams show the effects of this
option.
The power-up default value is PARALLEL = 1.

Output Port Phase
One bit that determines whether even pixels or odd pixels
go to Port A.

Port A
Port B
In normal operation (OUTPHASE = 0), when operating
in dual-port output mode (DEMUX = 1), the first sample
after the Hsync leading edge is presented at Port A. Every
subsequent ODD sample appears at Port A. All EVEN
samples go to Port B.
When OUTPHASE = 1, these ports are reversed and the
first sample goes to Port B.
When DEMUX = 0, this bit is ignored as data always
comes out of only Port A.
