Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 are the more detailed illustrative (interface switch FPGA) of interface switch.Video GENLOCK PLL control
With reference to figure 7, FPGA is used to provide the video GENLOCK control of VCXO 293 and external reference 284 on the plate.Inner VCXO locks with external video Hsync on frequency and phase place.If external clock reference does not exist, control voltage is set to the frequency of the intermediate range of VCXO.
System GENLOCK uses VCXO clock source 293, and FPGA and 12 bit digital are to simulation (D/A) transducer 290.All phase locking information are arranged in FPGA.D/A converter 290 each horizontal synchronizing cycle upgrade.D/A converter is approximately responding in the 16-32 microsecond by changing the analog control voltage that exports VCXO 293 on its via line 292.FPGA sets up the horizontal synchronization (Hout) (and all other video regularly) of an output according to the VCXO clock frequency.
The horizontal synchronization (Hout) of output is handled by two steps and is locked onto the horizontal synchronization of sending here (Hin).Each step uses Digital Logic to produce desired response.
At first, with reference to figure 9, can be with automatic detection external source (step 500) time, frequency detector 296 be measured Hin cycle (step 502) of a plurality of 27Mhz clock samplings.Regulate VCXO 293 then till the clock number of every row is correct (for NTSC is 1716, is 1728 for PAL) (step 504).
Second step of phase-locked processing is regulating frequency and the phase place (step 506) of aiming at Hout and Hin also.This be by at first with Hout and Hin (step 508) synchronously, then D/A 290 (step 510) is measured and regulated to the clock sampling of each detected phase difference.Adopt " seizures " (snap) algorithm with the realization minimum alignment time.This algorithm is based on phase-lock mode continuous or simulation.Because two signals are on phase place " slip " each other, phase-locked loop is attempted " pulling " or is regulated VCXO.When state that the VCXO frequency equates by Hout and Hin, the direction of " slip " will change.In Fig. 8, explain frequency/phase detector 296.
Continuous system goes up the frequency increment that equates by regulating VCXO with every circuit time and is similar to.In this way, the rate of change of frequency is linear.When the slope of frequency change is zero, just reach required frequency.When VCXO is conditioned, phase difference just will begin and return the threshold value of a setting in the short time.Locking frequency is the frequency mid point between the threshold frequency.(this is that slope is zero point.) this frequency is loaded in the D/A converter when next phase difference is zero, makes " seizure " effect reach desired frequency.
In addition, reduction of the present invention and other modification also are conspicuous for a person skilled in the art.
