Fig. 1 is the pattern block diagram of device of the present invention.Roughly can divide into six parts: 1, model selection (Mode Register ﹠amp; Mode Decoder) 2, pixel clock generator 3, horizontal timing generator 4, vertical timing generator 5, synthetic timing generator 6, additional logic circuit.Be described as follows in regular turn:

Mode register in the model selection (Mode Register) 11 is three bit registers, can write appropriate value by the peripheral control unit (not shown), sets required system pattern.It is available that this device has six kinds of system patterns, and its sweep parameter is as shown in table 1.12 of decoders are sent signal 121 according to 110 decodings of set point in the register 11, notify other logics present pattern, make to produce the regularly corresponding of setting pattern.

Pixel clock generator 13 this part logic are accepted signal 130 inputs of 40.5MHz frequency, according to signal 121, produce clock 131 outputs of 27MHz or 13.5MHz, as shown in Figure 2.This output clock 131 will be delivered to level, vertical and

synthetic timing generator

14,15,16, as the triggering clock of these three timing generators, and then produce every synchronizing signal.

Horizontal timing generator 14 is made up of one 10 bit counter and interrelated logic circuit.When the reset signal (Reset) of device sends or pattern when changing, this counter will be placed into a fixed numbers, and when pattern was PAL or VGA 50Hz, this numerical value was 863; When pattern is NTSC or VGA 60Hz, be 857; So, when PAL or VGA 50Hz, a horizontal scanning line of system (Horizontal Scan Line) will comprise 864 pixel clocks, and will comprise 858 pixel clocks when NTSC or VGA 60Hz, determine scanning line frequency thus.When counter inverse to 0, represent a horizontal scanning line to finish, 863 or 857 will be placed into counter once again.The running clock of this counter is the output signal 131 of pixel clock generator.Fig. 3 and table 2 are seen in relevant timing.Wherein A represents leading edge (Front Porch), and B represents horizontal synchronization pulse, and D represents a complete horizontal scanning line, and C represents trailing edge (BackPorch).Horizontal blanking signal 142 and horizontal-drive signal 141 are the output of horizontal timing generator 14.

This timing generator 15 serves as to trigger clock (Trigger) with pixel clock 131, Counter Value 143 in the reference levels timing generator, when producing vertical blanking signal 152, vertical synchronizing signal 151 and figure field signal (Top_Field) 153 for the interlacing display mode, figure field signal 153 is the index signal of the first figure field.

This vertical timing generator 15 is that one 10 bit counter and interrelated logic circuit are formed.When the reset signal of device sends or pattern when changing, it is 0 that this 10 bit counter will be eliminated.Whenever a horizontal scanning line is finished, this counter promptly adds 1 automatically.This counter can be set at following corresponding modulus (Modulo) counter and operates according to different mode.

A) when NTSC/Interlace and VGA/60Hz pattern, operate, promptly behind counter number to 524, return to 0 in modulus 524 (MOD-524) counter mode.

B) when PAL/Interlace and VGA/50Hz pattern, operate, promptly behind counter number to 624, return to 0 in modulus 624 (MOD-624) counter mode.

C) during the NTSC/Non-Interlac pattern, operate, promptly behind counter number to 262, return to 0 in modulus 262 (MOD-262) counter mode.

D) during PAL/Non-interlace, operate, promptly behind counter number to 312, return to 0 in modulus 312 (MOD-312) counter mode.

The timing of vertical blanking signal 152 and vertical synchronizing signal 151 is seen shown in Fig. 4 and the table 3.Figure field signal 153 has only under the interlacing display mode just effective; The first figure field (Top_Fiele=1) is 263 horizontal scanning line mid points of article one horizontal scanning line to the under the NTSC/Interlace pattern; The second figure field (Top_Fiele=0) is that 263 horizontal scanning line mid points to 525 horizontal scanning line finishes.Under the PAL/Interlace pattern, the first figure field is 313 mid points of article one horizontal scanning line to the; The second figure field is the 313rd mid point to 625 end.When being that non-interlaced display mode figure field signal 153 is meaningless.

Synthetic regularly generation device 10, it comprises synthetic timing generator 16, biconditional gate (Exclusive NOR) 18 and selector 19.

When being the TV pattern, according to the setting of mode register 11, selector 19 selects the output 181 of biconditional gate 18 to be synthetic synchronizing signal 191 under non-interlace mode.Selector 19 selects the output 161 of synthetic timing generator 16 to be synthetic synchronizing signal 191 under interlaced mode.

Formed by one 9 bit counter and interrelated logic circuit in this timing generator 16.Because of the timing under the VGA pattern must not synthesized synchronizing signal regularly, so when mode initialization was VGA/50Hz or VGA/60Hz, this timing generator 16 was failure to actuate.When being set at 4 kinds of patterns of TV, the producing method of the synthetic synchronizing signal of non-interlaced formula and interlacing formula is as follows:

A) non-interlaced formula

As Fig. 5 and shown in Figure 6.When vertical synchronizing signal 151 is high levle (high), synthetic synchronizing signal 181 is identical with horizontal-drive signal 141; When vertical synchronizing signal is low level (low), synthetic synchronizing signal 181 is anti-phase with horizontal-drive signal 141.Therefore, be that the biconditional gate element 18 of input is used to finish this function with horizontal synchronization 141 and vertical synchronizing signal 151, promptly horizontal-drive signal 141 and vertical synchronizing signal 151 produce the synthetic synchronizing signal 181 of non-interlaced formula behind a biconditional gate 18.

B) interlacing formula

Detailed timing diagram is shown in Fig. 7 and table 4 and Fig. 8 and table 5.When being NTSC system interlaced mode, its each figure field is made of 262.5 horizontal scanning lines; The PAL system then constitutes by 312.5; Reference format during therefore according to the TV timing, synthetic timing generator 16 inside produce equalizing signal (Equalization-EQUAL) voluntarily, are 9 horizontal sweep line lengths when the NTSC pattern, are 7.5 scanning line lengths during the PAL pattern.When equalizing signal was low level, the synthetic synchronizing signal 161 of interlacing formula was identical with horizontal-drive signal 141; When equalizing signal is high levle, be divided into two and half bars (half) the scan line time every horizontal scanning interval, by inner one 9 bit rolling counters forward, vertical synchronizing signal 151 in response to different conditions, produce Half 1 and Half 2 regularly, as Fig. 8 and shown in Figure 9, so that it can recognize half bar scanning line interval.When under balanced interval, as vertical synchronizing signal 151 is high levle, will export Half 1 regularly, and when vertical synchronizing signal is low level, then export Half 2 regularly, make the synthetic synchronizing signal 161 of interlacing formula can do relative variation according to the variation of vertical synchronizing signal 151 in balanced interval.
