5 Description (continued)
When locked to reference, an internal 10-bit ADC will track the loop filter control voltage. When a loss of
reference (LOR) occurs, the LMH1983 can be programmed to hold the control voltage to maintain output
accuracy within ±0.5 ppm (typical) of the previous reference. The LMH1983 can be configured to re-synchronize
to a previous reference with glitch-less operation.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The LMH1983 is an analog phase locked loop (PLL) clock generator that can output simultaneous clocks at a
variety of video and audio rates, synchronized or “genlocked” to Hsync and Vsync input reference timing. The
LMH1983 features an output Top of Frame (TOF) pulse generator for each of its four channels, each with
programmable timing that can also be synchronized to the reference frame. The clock generator uses a two-
stage PLL architecture. The first stage is a VCXO-based PLL (PLL1) that requires an external 27 MHz VCXO
and loop filter. In Genlock mode, PLL1 can phase lock a low loop bandwidth VCXO clock to the input reference.
The VCXO provides a low phase noise clock source to attenuate input timing jitter for minimum jitter transfer.
The combination of the external VCXO, external loop filter, and programmable PLL parameters provide flexibility
for the system designer to optimize the loop bandwidth and loop response for the application.
The second stage consists of three PLLs (PLL2, PLL3, PLL4) with integrated VCOs and loop filters. These PLLs
continually track the reference VCXO clock phase from PLL1 regardless of the device mode. The PLL2 and PLL3
have pre-configured divider ratios to provide frequency multiplication or translation from the VCXO clock
frequency to generate the two common HD clock rates (148.5 MHz and 148.35 MHz). PLL4 is pre-configured to
generate an audio clock that defaults to a 24.576 MHz output, although PLL4 has several registers that allow it to
be re-configured for a variety of applications.
The VCO PLLs use a high loop bandwidth to assure PLL stability, so the VCXO of PLL1 must provide a stable
low-jitter clock reference to ensure optimal output jitter performance. Any unused clock or TOF output can be
placed in Hi-Z mode. This may be useful for reducing power dissipation as well as reducing jitter or phase noise
on the active clock output. The TOF pulse can be programmed to indicate the start (top) of frame and even
provide format cross-locking. The output format registers should be programmed to specify the output timing
(output clocks and TOF pulse), the output timing offset relative to the reference, and the output initialization
(alignment) to the reference frame.
When a loss of reference occurs during genlock, PLL1 can default to either Free-run or Holdover operation.
When Free-run is selected, the output frequency accuracy will be determined by the external bias on the free-run
control voltage input pin, VC_LPF. When Holdover is selected, the loop filter can hold the control voltage to
maintain short-term output phase accuracy for a brief period in order to allow the application to select the
secondary input reference and re-lock the outputs. These options in combination with a proper PLL1 loop
response design can provide flexibility to manage output clock behavior during loss and re-acquisition of the
reference. The reference status and PLL lock status flags can provide real-time status indication to the
application system. The loss of reference and lock detection thresholds can also be configured.

8.2 Functional Block Diagram
8.3 Feature Description
The following subsections provide information about the various control mechanisms and features that are
fundamental to the LMH1983 clock generator.
8.3.1 Control of PLL1
PLL1 generates a 27 MHz reference that is used as the primary frequency reference for all of the other PLLs in
the device. PLL1 has a dual loop architecture with the primary loop locking the external 27 MHz VCXO to a
harmonic of the HIN signal. In addition to this loop, there is a secondary loop that may be used in genlock
operations. This second loop compares the phase of the TOF1 output signal from the LMH1983 to the FIN signal.
In order to bring the frame alignment of the output signals into sync with the input reference, the second loop
may override the primary loop. Detailed information about controlling this functionality is described in TOF1
Alignment.
To illustrate the dual loop architecture of PLL1, refer to the PLL1 block diagram in Figure 9. The primary loop
takes the reference applied to the HIN input and divides that by R (stored in Registers 0x29 and 0x2A). The
dividend is then compared in phase and frequency to the output of the external 27 MHz VCXO divided by N
(stored in Registers 0x2B and 0x2C). The PFD (phase frequency detector) then generates output pulses that are
integrated via an external loop filter that drives the control voltage of the external VCXO.

Figure 9. PLL1 Block Diagram
Since PLL2, PLL3, and PLL4 all use PLL1 as their input reference, the performance of PLL1 affects the
performance of all four clock outputs. The loop filters for the other three PLLs are internal, and the bandwidths
are set significantly higher than that of PLL1, so the low frequency jitter characteristics of all four clock outputs
are determined by the loop response of PLL1. Accordingly, special attention should be paid to the PLL1's loop
bandwidth and damping factor.
8.3.2 PLL1 Loop Response Design Equations
The loop response is primarily determined by the loop filter components and the loop gain. A passive second
order loop filter consisting of RS, CS, and CPcomponents can provide sufficient input jitter attenuation for most
applications. In some cases, a higher order filter may be used to shape the low frequency response of PLL1
further. Assuming a topology for the loop filter similar to that shown in the Figure 9, the bandwidth of the PLL is
determined by:
BWPLL1= RSx KVCO x ICP1/(2*π*FB_DIV)
where
RSis the series resistor value in the external loop filter.
KVCO is the nominal 27 MHz VCXO gain in Hz/V. KVCO= Pull_range*27 MHz/Vin_Range. For the VCXO used in
the typical interface circuit (Mfgr: CTS, P/N 357LB3C027M0000): LVCO=100 ppm*27 MHz / (3.0V-0.3V) = 1000
Hz/V
ICP1 is the current from the PLL1 charge pump.
FB_DIV is the divide ratio of the PLL, which is set by the R and N register values, this will be equal to the
number of 27 MHz clock pulses in one HIN period. For NTSC, this value will be 1716. (1)
Under normal operation, several of these parameters are set by the device automatically, for example the charge
pump current and the value of 'FB_DIV'. When the input reference format changes, both N and the charge pump
current are updated, N is changed to allow for lock to the new reference, and the charge pump current is
adjusted to maintain constant loop bandwidth.
It should be noted that this bandwidth calculation is an approximation and does not take into account the effects
of the damping factor or the second pole introduced by CP.

Figure 10. External Loop Filter Schematic Detail
At frequencies far above the –3dB loop bandwidth, the closed-loop frequency response of PLL1 will roll off at
about –40dB/decade, which is useful for attenuating input jitter at frequencies above the loop bandwidth. Near
the –3dB corner frequency, the roll-off characteristic depends on other factors, such as damping factor and filter
order.
To prevent output jitter due to the modulation of the VCXO by the PLL's phase comparison frequency, the
bandwidth needs to meet the following criterion:
BW (27 MHz / FB_DIV ) / 20 (2)
PLL1's damping factor can be approximated by:
DF = (RS/2)(ICP1 x CSx KVCO/FB_DIV)
where
CSis the value of the series capacitor (in Farads) (3)
Typically, DF is targeted to be between 1/2 and 1, which will yield a good trade-off between lock time and
reference spur attenuation. DF is related to the phase margin, a measure of the PLL stability.
There is a second parallel capacitor, CP, which is needed to filter the reference spurs introduced by the PLL. The
spurs may modulate the VCXO control voltage, leading to jitter. The following relationship should be used to
determine CP:
CPCS/20 (4)
The PLL loop gain, K, can be calculated as:
K = ICP1 x KVCO/FB_DIV (5)
Therefore, Bandwidth and Damping Factor can be expressed in terms of K:
BW = RSx K (6)
DF = (RS/2) x (CSx K) (7)

8.3.3 Control of PLL2 and PLL3
PLL2 and PLL3 have the least amount of flexibility of the four PLLs in the LMH1983. They are pre-programmed
to run at 148.5 MHz and 148.35 MHz respectively. There is a divide-by-two option available to allow the output to
be 74.25 MHz or 74.18 MHz, should these frequencies be required. These two PLLs can also be disabled
disabling PLL2 or PLL3 can save significant amounts of power if that particular clock is not required. Figure 11
shows a simplified functional block diagram of PLL2 and PLL3.
Figure 11. PLL2 / PLL3 Block Diagram
8.3.4 Control of PLL4
Although originally intended to generate only a clock for audio use, PLL4 features much greater versatility.
Several registers may be used to configure PLL4 to generate a broad selection of frequencies. The default state
for PLL4 is to generate 24.576 MHz (48 kHz x 512) on the output of CLK4 and a 5.996 Hz output from TOF4.
This is done by taking CLK1 (27 MHz), and dividing by 75, resulting in a signal of 360 kHz. This frequency is
compared to the internal PLL4 VCO, nominally 1.2 GHz, divided by 4096. The VCO frequency is adjusted via
register control until the resulting frequency yields 360 kHz. The final VCO frequency is then divided by 12 to
generate a 98.304 MHz signal (48 kHz x 2048). Any power of two multiple of 48 kHz can be generated by
changing the contents of the PLL4_DIV component of Register 0x34. Note that the divider here is in powers of 2,
so the default value of 2 results in the 98.304 MHz signal being divided by 22or 4. The final CLKout4 frequency
is therefore 24.576 MHz. PLL4_DIV is a 4-bit value, so values up to 15 may be programmed, resulting in a divide
by 215 or 32,768. If audio clocks based on a 44.1 kHz sampling clock are desired, refer to Application Note
AN–2108, Generating 44.1 kHz Based Clocks with the LMH1983, (SNLA129) for detailed instructions.
TOF4 has two different operation modes. When the AFS_mode bit (Register 0x09) is set to a 0, then TOF4 is
derived by dividing CLKout4 by a value of 2TOF4_ACLK (Register 0x4A). if the AFS_mode bit is set to 1, then TOF4
is derived from TOF1 divided by AFS_div (Register 0x49). When AutoFormatDetect is true, then the AFS_div
register is read only and is internally set depending upon the format detected.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.5 Clock Output Jitter
Many circuits that require video clocks, such as the embedded Serializers and Deserializers found in FPGAs, are
sensitive to jitter. In all real world applications, jitter has a random component, so it is best specified in statistical
terms. The SMPTE serial standards (SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 424M) use a frequency domain
method of specifying jitter where they refer to the peak-to-peak jitter of a signal after the jitter has been bandpass
filtered. Jitter at frequencies below 10 Hz is ignored, and the jitter in a band from 10 Hz to an intermediate
frequency (1 kHz for the 270 Mbps standard, 100 kHz for the 1.5 Gbps and 3 Gbps standards) is referred to as
timing jitter. Jitter from the intermediate frequency up to 1/10 of the serial rate is referred to as alignment jitter.
The limits that the SMPTE standards place are peak-to-peak limits, but especially at the higher rates, random
processes have a significant impact, and it is not possible to consider peak-to-peak jitter without a corresponding
confidence level. The methodology used to specify the jitter on the LMH1983 decomposes the jitter into a
deterministic component (tDJ) plus a random component (tRJ). This is the methodology used by the jitter analysis
tools supported on high bandwidth oscilloscopes and timing analysis tools from major instrumentation
manufacturers.
To convert between RMS jitter and peak-to-peak jitter, the Bit Error Rate (BER) must be specified. Since jitter is
a random event, without a known BER, the peak-to-peak jitter will be dependent upon the observation time and
can be arbitrarily large. The equation that links peak-to-peak jitter to RMS jitter is:
tP-P= tDJ+α*tRJ (8)
where αis determined by the BER according to the equation:
1/2erfc(2*α) = BER (9)
The erfc (error function) can be found in several mathematics references and is also a function in both Excel and
MATLAB. A fairly common BER used for these calculations is 10-12, which yields a value of α= 14.
Another common method for evaluating the jitter of a clock output is to look at the phase noise as a function of
frequency. Plots showing the phase noise for each of the four CLKout outputs can be found in Figure 1 through
Figure 8.
8.3.6 Lock Determination
There are four bits in Register 0x02 that indicate the lock status of the four PLLs. Lock determination for PLL1
can be controlled through two registers: LockStepSize (Register 0x2D) and Loss of Lock Threshold (Register
0x1C). The LockStepSize register sets the amount of variation that is permitted on the VC_LPF pin while still
considering the device to be locked. If the reference to the LMH1983 has a large amount of jitter, then the device
may be unable to declare lock because the LockStepSize is set too low. The second register, the Loss of Lock
Threshold register, controls the lock state declaration of PLL1. This register sets a number of cycles on the HIN
input that must be seen before loss of lock is declared. For some reference signals, there can be several missing
HIN pulses during vertical refresh. Therefore, it is suggested that this register be loaded with a value greater than
six (Loss of Lock Threshold > 6). Pin 11, NO_LOCK, gives the lock status of the LMH1983. Note that the status
of the NO_LOCK pin can also be read from Register 0x01, and it is a logical OR of the four individual NO_LOCK
status bits of the four PLLs. The NO_LOCK status pin is masked by the bits in the PLL Lock mask (Register
0x1D), and the status is also masked if an individual PLL is powered down.
8.3.7 Lock Time Considerations
The lock time of the LMH1983 is dominated by the lock time of PLL1. The other PLLs have much higher loop
bandwidths, and as a result, they lock more quickly than PLL1 does. Therefore, lock time considerations mainly
rely on PLL1. The lock time for a PLL is dependent upon the loop bandwidth (see Equation 1). A small loop
bandwidth typically increases the time required to achieve lock. To counter this issue, the LMH1983 also allows a
Fastlock mode. In this mode, the bandwidth is increased by increasing the charge pump current when the loop is
unlocked. Then, at a time programmed by the user after lock is declared, ICP1 is throttled back to drop the
bandwidth to the desired set point. The result is both fast lock time and very low residual jitter.
Another factor when considering lock time is whether 'drift lock' has been enabled or not (see TOF1 Alignment).
If drift lock is enabled and there is a significant difference in the phase of TOF1 relative to the FIN signal, the
VCXO is slewed to ramp the clock rate up or down until the two framing signals are brought into alignment. It is
possible that this process may take a long time (tens of seconds).

SNLS309I APRIL 2010REVISED DECEMBER 2014
Feature Description (continued)
Aside from the time required for the PLL to lock, there is a circuit that determines how to set the NO_LOCK
output pin. The LMH1983 PLL operates by adjusting the voltage that is applied to the VCXO control pin to lock
the VCXO to a harmonic of the incoming reference. When the device is not locked, the PLL pulls the VCXO
control voltage to one extreme of its range to slew the voltage into lock. Once the phase differences between the
VCXO and the reference are small, the device begins to nudge the control voltage back and forth to maintain the
phase difference. An adjustment might be necessary either due to VCXO drift or due to jitter on the reference. To
determine the status of NO_LOCK, the LMH1983 establishes a window to view the amount of adjustment that is
required over a period of time. Two parameters are set via register control to determine NO_LOCK status.
LockStepSize (Register 0x2D) sets the amount of time in which to observe the signal, and Loss of Lock
Threshold (Register 0x1C) sets the amount of variation in the control voltage that can be seen over this time
frame while still considering the device to be locked.
To minimize the amount of time necessary to assert lock, load LockStepSize (Register 0x2D) with a value of
0x01 and the Loss of Lock Threshold (Register 0x1C) with a value of 0x1F. The effect of this change can be
seen in Figure 13:
Figure 13. Faster NO_LOCK Reaction Mode Timing
8.3.8 LOR Determination
When the PLL is not locked, there is an internal counter that counts the number of 27 MHz clock pulses between
consecutive HSync pulses divide-by-two. This counter saturates at 0x7FFF (or 32767 decimal). Once this
counter saturates, LOR is declared. Given this is a divide-by-two counter, the time to declare LOR is: (2 x 32767)
/ (27E6) = 2.4 ms. On the other hand, when the PLL is locked and there are missing HSync pulses, LOR is set
when the internal counter is greater than the following: (Number of 27 MHz clocks in one Hsync pulse + 3) x
(LOR_THRES + 1).
8.3.9 Output Driver Adjustments
The LVDS output drivers can be adjusted via the I2C interface to change the differential output voltage swing, the
common mode voltage, and the amount of pre-emphasis applied to the LVDS output:
Register 0x3A, Bit 7 turns on the pre-emphasis, which may be used to extend the reach between the
LMH1983 and the load. It is recommended that the trace length is kept short, as longer traces have more
opportunity to couple with hostile signals and degrade jitter performance.

The common mode output voltage can be adjusted via Register 0x3A, Bits [3:0].
8.3.10 TOF1 Alignment
Each of the four clock outputs has a corresponding Top Of Frame (TOF) output signal. The LMH1983 is
programmed with a video format for each of the three video clocks (CLKout 1-3), and the TOF signal provides a
digital indication when the start of a new frame occurs for that particular format. As an example, if PLL1 is
programmed with a video format corresponding to NTSC, CLK1 is 27 MHz, and TOF1 outputs a pulse once per
frame, or once every 900,900 clock cycles. In its default state, the LMH1983 detects the input reference format
and programs this format as the output format for CLKout1. Therefore, if the input reference is an NTSC
reference, then TOF1 will default to a 29.97 Hz signal.
If the HIN, VIN, and FIN inputs to the LMH1983 are coming from the LMH1981 Sync Separator, then the rising
edge of the FIN input will come in the middle of a line (between HIN pulses). The TOF pulse, if aligned, will be a
pulse with a width of 1 x H period and transitions aligned with the leading edges of the HIN pulses. When set for
zero offset, the TOF pulse will be high during the H period where the FIN input transitions, as seen in Figure 14.
Figure 14. TOF1 Timing
The alignment between the incoming FIN and the TOF1 output may be controlled in a number of ways. There are
three different alignment modes in which TOF1 may operate as selected via Register 0x11:
1. 11'b (default): PLL1 never attempts to align.
2. 10'b: PLL1 always forces alignment to FIN.
3. 00'b: Automatically force alignment to FIN when they are misaligned.
Misalignment can be defined by the user via Register 0x15. In Register 0x15, a time window is defined to specify
the amount of mismatch permitted between FIN and TOF1 while still considering them to be aligned. If the input
reference signal has a significant amount of low frequency jitter or wander, it may be possible for the relative
alignment between TOF1 and FIN to vary over time. Selecting "Always Align" mode may lead to undesirable
timing jumps on the output of CLKout1/TOF1.
Once the device decides that it needs to align TOF1 and FIN, there are two ways that it can be done. Crash lock
involves simply resetting the counter that keeps track of where the TOF1 output transition happens, resulting in
an instantaneous shift of TOF1 to align with FIN. Drift lock involves using the second loop in PLL1 and skewing
the VCXO to make the frequency of CLKout1 either speed up or slow down. The VCXO skewing slowly pulls
TOF1 and FIN into alignment. If a new reference is applied that is not in alignment with TOF1, but the output is
currently in use, it may be better to slew TOF1 into alignment rather than to cause a major disruption in the
timing with a crash lock. The LMH1983 allows the user to select either crash lock or drift lock, controllable via
Register 0x11. The option of crash lock or drift lock is available when the difference in phase is small (Output <

Furthermore, if the difference is large, the user can tell the device to achieve alignment either by advancing or
retarding the phase of PLL1. Note that if the difference in alignment is large, achieving alignment via drift lock
may take a very long time (tens of seconds), during which the output clock will not be phase locked to the input
HIN.
8.3.11 TOF2 and TOF3 Alignment
Similar to TOF1, CLKout2 and CLKout3 have associated video formats. The format is determined by
programming Register 0x07 and 0x08, respectively. Once the format is programmed and the TOF outputs are
enabled, a TOF pulse is generated at the appropriate rate for each of the outputs. There are four different
alignment modes that may be selected for TOF2 and TOF3:
Table 1. TOF2/TOF3 Alignment Modes
TOF2/TOF3 ALIGNMENT MODE DESCRIPTION
0 Auto Align when Misaligned
1 One Shot Manual Align
2 Always Align
3 Never Align
TOF2 and TOF3 are generally aligned with TOF1. The alignment status bit will only be set if the frame rates are
the same as one another. Another option for alignment is via software, where the TOFX_INIT bit is set. For
example, the LSB of Register 0x12 is the TOF2_INIT bit. Writing a 1 to this bit while also setting TOF2 alignment
mode to anything other than 3 (Never Align) will cause TOF2 to reset its phase immediately. Note that this bit is
a self-clearing bit, so it will always return a zero.
8.3.11.1 TOF3 Initialization Set Up
Under some circumstances, it is possible for an LMH1983 to power up in an anomalous state in which the output
of PLL3 exhibits a large amount of cycle-to-cycle jitter. A simple register write after power up will prevent the
device from remaining in this state. Writing to Register 0x13[5:4] = 10'b to force Always Align Mode ensures that
the device will not exhibit poor duty cycle performance on CLKout3.
8.3.12 TOF4 Alignment
CLKout4 of the LMH1983 is most often used to generate an audio clock. The default base audio clock rate is 48
kHz, and this sample clock is synchronous in phase with the video frame only once every 5 frames for 29.97 and
30 Hz frame rate standards, or once every ten frames for 60 Hz and 59.94 Hz systems. The LMH1983 can
generate a TOF4 pulse that occurs at this rate, allowing audio frames to be synchronized with the video frames.
TOF4 may be aligned either to TOF1 or to the FIN input. Additionally, there is an external INIT input that can be
used to set TOF4 alignment.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Reference Detection
The device uses Auto Format Detect as the default mode, as the device determines the reference format among
those shown in Auto Format Detection Codes, and initiates the internal configurations accordingly. There are 31
pre-defined formats plus one format that the user can define. The device recognizes a format by measuring the
HIN input frequency and looking at the VIN and FIN inputs. The device then determines if the reference input
format is an interlaced or progressive input. For some formats such as a 10 MHz or 27 MHz Hsync reference, if
HIN and VIN create a spurious input, the device will not properly recognize the reference input and will not lock
properly to the reference. Because of this, if HIN has one of these 'special' signals on it, VIN and FIN should be
muted.

8.4.2 User Defined Formats
There are several registers in the LMH1983 that are loaded automatically based on the format of the reference
that is detected. The LMH1983 allows the user to define a non-standard format and a corresponding set of
values to load into the appropriate registers if that format is detected. In order to identify the format, the
LMH1983 measures the frequency of the Hsync input, counts the number of lines per frame in the format, and
detects if the particular format is interlaced or progressive. The Hsync frequency is measured by counting the
number of 27 MHz clock edges that occur in a period of time equal to 20 horizontal sync times. To implement a
user defined format, the following registers are configured:
The minimum and maximum permissible count must be set, thereby establishing a window of frequency for
Hsync. Registers 0x51 and 0x52 define the 16-bit value for the low end of the frequency range, while
Registers 0x53 and 0x54 define the high end of the frequency range.
Registers 0x5A and 0x5B define the number of lines per frame for the format.
Register 0x5D, Bit 4 indicates whether the user defined format is interlaced or not.
Register 0x5D, Bit 7 enables the detection of a user-defined format.
Once the user-defined format is detected, the contents of Registers 0x55 through 0x59 configure PLL1 to lock
to 27MHz, which is then used as the reference for PLL2, PLL3, and PLL4.
Table 2 lists the supported standard timing formats. Table 2 includes the relevant parameters used to configure
the LMH1983 for the input and output formats. Auto-detection of the input is supported for the formats listed in
Table 2. The input format can also be programmed manually by the host via I2C if it is necessary to override the
auto-detection feature.

8.4.4 Free-Run, Genlock, and Holdover Modes
The LMH1983 primary PLL can operate in three different modes, selected via Register 0x05. These modes are
Free-run, Genlock, and Holdover Mode:
Free-run mode: HIN, VIN, and FIN are not used, and the VCXO control voltage is set by the contents of
Registers 0x18 and 0x19. By writing to these registers, the VCXO voltage can be trimmed up or down. The
slave PLLs will remain locked to the primary PLL.
Genlock mode: The VCXO control voltage is actively controlled to maintain lock between HIN and the VCXO
output frequency. In addition, there is a second PLL loop that may take over to assert a lock between TOF1
and FIN. See TOF1 Alignment for more details.
Holdover mode: In the event that the reference is lost, there is an A/D D/A pair that is able to take over for
the PLL control loop and hold the VCXO control voltage constant. For this to work properly, the device must
realize that it has lost its reference shortly after the reference is actually lost. Some sync separators, when the
analog input is lost, will output random pulses from the H, V, and F outputs. This can confuse the device.
Therefore if Holdover mode is to be used in conjunction with an analog sync separator, it is best to gate the
H, V, and F signals with a signal that indicates if there is a valid reference input.
8.5 Programming
8.5.1 I2C Interface Protocol
The protocol of the I2C interface begins with the start pulse, followed by a byte which consists of a seven-bit
slave device address and a Read/Write bit as an LSB. The default address of the LMH1983 for write sequences
is 0xCC (11001100'b) and for read sequences is 0xCD (11001101'b). The base address can be changed with the
ADDR pin. When ADDR is left open, the base address is 0x66 (which, when left shifted for a write sequence
becomes 0xCC). When ADDR is connected to GND, the base address is 0x65, and when ADDR is connected to
VDD, the base address is 0x67.
Please note: The I2C interface of the LMH1983 requires the 27 MHz VCXO clock input to be running in order to
read I2C data packets into the 27 MHz clock domain. If the 27 MHz clock is not running, the I2C interface should
still respond (ACK), but Write commands may be ignored and Read commands may return invalid data.
8.5.2 Write Sequence
The write sequence begins with a start condition, which consists of the master pulling SDA low while SCL is high.
The slave address is sent next. The slave address is a seven-bit address followed by the Read/Write bit (Read =
1'b and Write = 0'b). For the default base address of 0x66 (1100110'b), the 0 is appended to the end, and the net
address is 0xCC. Each byte sent after the address is followed by an ACK bit. When SCL is high, the master will
release the SDA line, and the slave pulls SDA low to acknowledge. Once the device address has been sent, the
next byte sent is the register address. Following the register address and the ACK, the data byte is sent. When
more than one data byte is sent, the register address is automatically incremented so that the data is written into
the next address location. The Write Sequence Timing Diagram is shown in Figure 19. Note that there is an ACK
bit following each data byte.

8.5.3 Read Sequence
Read sequences consist of two I2C transfers. The first is the address access transfer, which consists of a write
sequence that transfers only the address to be accessed. The second is the data read transfer which starts at
the address indicated in the first transfer and increments to the next address, continuing to read addresses until
a stop condition is encountered. The timing diagram of the address access transfer is shown in Figure 20. A read
sequence begins with a start pulse, the slave device address including the Read/Write bit (Read = 1'b and Write
= 0'b), and then its ACK bit. The next byte is the address to be read, followed by the ACK bit and the stop bit to
indicate the end of the address access transfer. The subsequent read data transfer shown consists of the start
pulse, the slave device address including the Read/Write bit (this time a R/W Bit = 1'b, indicating that the data is
to be read) and the ACK bit. The next byte is the data read from the initial access address. After each data byte
is read, the address is incremented, thereby allowing the next byte of data to be read from the subsequent
address of the device. Each byte is separated from the previous byte by an ACK bit, and the end of the read
sequence is indicated with a STOP bit. The timing diagram for a read data transfer is shown in Figure 21 for
additional timing details.

9 Applications and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The LMH1983 is an analog phase locked loop (PLL) clock generator that can output simultaneous clocks at a
variety of video and audio rates, synchronized or “genlocked” to Hsync and Vsync input reference timing. The
LMH1983 features an output Top of Frame (TOF) pulse generator for each of its four channels, each with
programmable timing that can also be synchronized to the reference frame. The clock generator uses a two-
stage PLL architecture to attenuate input timing jitter for minimum jitter transfer. The combination of the external
VCXO, external loop filter, and programmable PLL parameters provides flexibility to optimize the loop bandwidth
and loop response for design applications.
9.2 Typical Applications
9.2.1 Typical Genlock Timing Generation with NTSC 525i/29.97 High Speed Reference
The LMH1983 is commonly used with Hsync, Vsync, and Fsync timing signals as a reference for genlock. Once
these signals are provided, the LMH1983 can produce a specific set of clock output signals required by a
downstream endpoint. In some video applications, a multi-format video sync separator is used to derive the
Hsync, Vsync, and Fsync signals from a standard analog SD/ED/HD video signal. In Figure 22, a LMH1981
multi-format sync separator is used to provide HIN, VIN, and FIN for the LMH1983. In this case, LMH1983 PLLs 1-
4 provide a 27 MHz/29.97 Hz, 148.5 MHz/29.97 Hz, 148.35 MHz/59.94 Hz, and 24.576 MHz/5.994 Hz output,
respectively, to an A/V Frame Synchronizer. Another example of this application can be seen in Figure 23, where
HIN, VIN, and FIN signals are provided directly from an FPGA SDI RX without a sync separator. In the latter
example, the NTSC 525i/29.97 HIN, VIN, and FIN parameters are provided individually for the LMH1983, after
which the LMH1983 provides 3G, 3G/1.001, and Audio Clock Generation.

9.2.1.1 Design Requirements
When designing for the LMH1983, it is essential to choose the correct VCXO and external loop filter capacitors.
The following subsections provide guidance regarding how to select these components to improve timing stability
and accuracy.
9.2.1.1.1 VCXO Selection Criteria
The recommended VCXO is CTS part number 357LB3C027M0000, which has an absolute pull range of ±50 ppm
and a temperature range of –20°C to +70°C. A VCXO with a smaller APR can provide better frequency stability
and slightly lower jitter, but the APR must be larger than the anticipated variation of the input frequency range.
9.2.1.1.2 Loop Filter Capacitors
The most common types of capacitors used in many circuits today are ferroelectric ceramic capacitors such as
X7R, Y5V, X5R, Y5U, and so on. These capacitors suffer from piezoelectric effects, which generate an electrical
signal in response to mechanical vibration, stress, and shock. This effect can adversely affect the jitter
performance when presented to the control input to the VCXO. The easiest way to eliminate this effect is to use
tantalum capacitors that do not exhibit the piezoelectric effect.
9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Once the appropriate external VCXO and loop filter components are selected, the input timing signaling should
be referenced to Table 2 to determine whether NTSC 525i/29.97 sync format is supported. This video format is a
supported video format for automatic detection under Auto Format Detection Code 0, so it is not necessary to
override the input auto-detection feature.
Once PLL1 has genlocked to the chosen NTSC, 525i input reference signal, PLLs 2-3 can be set according to
the desired output signals specified in Figure 23. Refer to Table 6 and Table 7 for a list of possible input and
output formats available for auto-format detection in Figure 22 and Figure 23, respectively. The format code can
be applied as an expected input format for PLL1 (Register 0x20) or a programmed output format for PLL2
(Register 0x07) and PLL3 (Register 0x08).

The LMH1983 is shown in the following application example where the HIN input reference timing signal is clock-
based. After achieving genlock, the LMH1983 can produce a specific set of clock output signals required
downstream. In this case, LMH1983 PLLs 1-4 provide a 27 MHz, 74.25 MHz, 74.176 MHz, and 98.304 MHz
output, respectively.
Figure 28. LMH1983 A/V Clock Generation with Non-Format Specific Input Clock Reference
9.2.2.1 Design Requirements
When designing for the LMH1983, it is essential to ensure that the correct VCXO and external loop filter
capacitors are chosen. Refer to VCXO Selection Criteria and Loop Filter Capacitors for guidance regarding how
to select these components to improve timing stability and accuracy.
9.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Once the appropriate external VCXO and loop filter components are selected, the input timing signaling should
be referenced to the "Supported Formats Lookup Table (LUT)" (see Table 2) to determine whether the video
clock, GPS clock, and audio clock are supported by automatic format detection. From Table 2 and the Auto
Format Detection Codes, all of the reference clock inputs mentioned in this application are supported under the
auto format detection feature. Once PLL1 has genlocked to the chosen HIN signal, PLLs 2-3 can be set
according to the desired output signals specified in Auto Format Detection Codes. Refer to Table 10 for a list of
possible input and output formats available for auto-format detection in this application. The format code can be
applied as an expected input format for PLL1 (Register 0x20) or a programmed output format for PLL2 (Register
0x07) and PLL3 (Register 0x08).

9.2.3 A/V Clock Generation Using Free-Run Mode
The LMH1983 can be used in free-run mode, as shown in the following application example. No HIN, VIN, and FIN
input reference timing signals are provided. Instead, the LMH1983 tracks a 27 MHz TCXO reference, which
replaces the external VCXO and loop filter mentioned in previous applications. The LMH1983 can still produce a
specific set of clock output signals required by a downstream endpoint. In this application, LMH1983 PLLs 1-4
provide a 27 MHz, 148.5 MHz, 148.35 MHz, and 98.304 MHz output, respectively.
Figure 30. High-Precision, Stable A/V Clock Generation Using a 27 MHz TCXO Reference
9.2.3.1 Design Requirements
This application requires less components than the previous applications mentioned in this section. This is
because there is no HIN reference, external VCXO, or loop filter. However, the PLL1 signal is still applied via the
27 MHz TCXO clock signal on the XOin± pins. Using a TCXO for reference allows a stable, standalone clock
generation for PLLs 2-4.
9.2.3.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Since no HIN input timing signaling is provided, this application example cannot use the "Supported Formats
Lookup Table (LUT)" (see Table 2) for automatic format detection. However, PLLs 2-4 can still be manually
programmed to output the correct output format using Auto Format Detection Codes. To output the desired video
and audio formats from PLLs 2-3, the following output codes should be used:

10 Power Supply Recommendations
It is important to ensure that the LMH1983 is provided with an adequate power supply that provides the cleanest
voltage to the VDD_IO and VDD supply pins. One potential source of jitter on a multiple clock system such as
the LMH1983 is interference among the four PLLs on the chip. To help reduce this effect, each PLL is run from a
separate power supply internally on the LMH1983, and each supply has its own internal regulator. These
regulators each require their own external bypass as seen in Figure 32 with bypass capacitors.
Figure 32. LMH1983 Power Supply Connection Diagram
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
When designing the PCB layout for the LMH1983, it is important to follow these the guidelines:
Whenever possible, dedicate an entire layer to each power supply. This will reduce the inductance in the
supply plane.
Use surface mount components whenever possible.
Place bypass capacitors and filter components as close as possible to each power pin.
Place the loop filter components, including the buffer amplifier, and VCXO as close as possible to the
LMH1983.
Do not allow discontinuities in the ground planes return currents follow the path of least resistance. For high
frequency signals this will be the path of least inductance.
Make sure to match the trace lengths of all differential traces.
Remember that vias have significant inductance when using a via to connect to a power supply or ground
layer, two in parallel will reduce the inductance over a single via.
Connect the pad on the bottom of the package to a solid ground connection. This contact is used as a major
ground connection as well as providing a thermal conduit which helps to maintain a constant die temperature.
See Application Note: AN-1187, Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) (SNOA401) for more Information on the
LLP (WQFN) style package.

11.2 Layout Example
Figure 33. LMH1983 Typical Interface Circuit
An example of a typical application circuit for the LMH1983 is shown in the Figure 33. When performing PCB
layout, key areas to consider regarding this circuit are the loop filter which consists of RS, CS, CPand the
LM7711 Operational Amplifier which buffers the loop filter output prior to driving the control voltage input of the
VCXO. Care must be taken in the component selection for the loop filter components (see VCXO Selection
Criteria and Loop Filter Capacitors). The CLKout outputs are differential LVDS signals and should be treated as
differential signals. These signals may be laid out as fully differential lines, in which the characteristic impedance
between the two lines is nominally 100 . Alternately, loosely coupled lines may be used, in which case the
characteristic impedance of each line should be 50 referenced to GND. In either case, care should be taken to
match the lengths of the traces as closely as possible. Trace length mismatches on a differential line will add to
the jitter seen on that line. Jitter is also added to the clock outputs if other signals are allowed to interfere with the
signal traces. Therefore, to the greatest extent possible, the clock traces should be isolated from other signals.
Long parallel runs should also be avoided. In places where a hostile signal must cross a sensitive clock signal, it
should be routed such that it crosses as closely as possible to a 90° crossing.
When performing board layouts with the LMH1983, stencil parameters such as aperture area ratio and the
fabrication process have a significant impact on paste deposition. Inspection of the stencil prior to placement of
the WQFN package is highly recommended to improve board assembly yields. If the via and aperture openings
are not carefully monitored, the solder may flow unevenly through the DAP. Stencil parameters for aperture
opening and via locations are shown in Figure 34.

(2) RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of <=1000ppm threshold. Antimony trioxide based
flame retardants must also meet the <=1000ppm threshold requirement.
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6) Lead finish/Ball material - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead finish/Ball material values may wrap to two
lines if the finish value exceeds the maximum column width.
