DATA SHEET: HARDWARE REFERENCE
1. Introduction
1.1 General Description
The FS453 PC to TV Video Scan Converter provides broadcast-quality scan conversion for graphics
cards, motherboard chip sets, video game consoles, consumer electronics and other PC-to-TV
applications. Compatible with most graphics controller chips (GCC), the FS453 takes in high-resolution
computer graphics input (VGA through SXGA) and produces SDTV (Standard Definition Television) or
HDTV (High Definition Television) analog output. In SDTV mode the FS453 converts, scales, removes
flicker, interlaces and encodes the data into NTSC or PAL formats. In HDTV mode, it performs color
space conversions and then inserts the required syncs for output. The FS453's patented technology
enables it to scale the converted image to fill the TV screen and display flicker-free graphics with sharply
defined text.
1.2 How does it work?
The FS453 provides a glueless digital interface to most GCCs. It accepts computer-generated digital
graphics input in RGB or YCrCb format. The FS453 receives initialization and basic configuration
FS453 actually processes and converts the graphics information depends on the kind of video output
1.2.1 SDTV Output
For example, to create SDTV output the FS453 first changes RGB video to YCrCb. It uses patented
technology to scale (in other words, to proportionately increase or decrease) the number of video lines
and pixels per line to correspond to the specific SDTV standard. This allows the FS453 to precisely fill
the user's television screen without adding artifacts such as blank areas, or distorting the graphics image.
The FS453 uses more patented technology to adaptively remove the flicker effects common to SDTV
while keeping fine detail (such as text) clear and sharp. The FS453 then encodes the processed image
into broadcast quality, interlaced SDTV video and sends it out through the DACs. For European SCART
output, the FS453 converts the image into RGB video and sends the R, G and B signals through separate
DACs.
1.2.2 HDTV Output
To convert high-resolution computer graphics to high resolution HDTV output the FS453 converts the
digital video (whether RGB or YCrCb format) to YPrPb (analog component video). It adds Bi- and Tri-
Level Syncs as required by the selected standard and routes the analog HDTV video through the DACs.
1.2.3 VGA (RGB) Output
The FS453 can also provide VGA output. In this mode, it allows the GCC's RGB images to pass
unchanged directly through to the DACs. The HSync and VSync signals must be driven by the GCC.
1.3 General Physical Requirements
Implementing the FS453 in your system will require very few components – just a 27 MHz clock and
passive parts. The FS453 uses an 80-lead Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) or an 88-lead Fine-pitch Ball Grid
Array (FBGA) package and requires power from +1.8V digital and +3.3V analog supplies.

bus.

2.2 Color Space Converter
The programmable Color Space Converter receives either RGB or YCrCb data from the input port. If the
data is RGB, it is converted to YCrCb using programmable coefficients. Each of the Y, Cr, and Cb
components can then be independently scaled in amplitude with programmable multipliers. This
programmability supports both SDTV and HDTV color space matrices.
2.3 Patented 2D Scaler
The Patented 2D Scaler receives data from the Color Space Converter. It performs vertical (up or down)
scaling based on the value programmed in the VSC (Vertical Scaling Coefficient) register, offset 06h. It
performs horizontal (down) scaling based on the downscale value programmed in the HSC (Horizontal
Scaling Coefficient) register, offset 08h.
Because different video standards call for different numbers of lines and different numbers of pixels per
line, scan converters add or subtract lines and areas to fit graphics images onto different sizes of TV
screens. Most scan converters use simple line-dropping algorithms and fixed aspect ratios.
Unfortunately, these techniques can introduce shape-distorting artifacts and surround the actual image
with blank areas.
The FS453, however, uses patented technology that can scale the graphics image without creating
artifacts. The patented 2D Scaler can independently upscale or downscale an image in both the
horizontal (pixels) and vertical (lines) directions. Its scaling functions provide equal weight to all pixels
and lines in the source material for all scaling factors. This allows users to perfectly fit the graphics image
to their TV screens without adding scaling artifacts or large blank borders.

2.4 Patented 2D Flicker Filter
The Patented 2D Flicker Filter receives video lines from the 2D Scaler and performs vertical filtering to
reduce or eliminate perceived flicker that is an artifact of the interlaced television format.
The FS453's flicker filter is significantly more effective than a typical three-line-average flicker filter. The
FS453’s flicker filter consists of joint horizontal (Sharpness) and vertical (Flicker) controls. Three-line-
average flicker filters do reduce the visual effect of interlaced image flicker, but they also introduce
blurring. The flicker dimension of the FS453's filter reduces image flicker, while the sharpness dimension
of the FS453's filter reduces image blurring. Both the sharpness and flicker registers can be programmed
over a wide range of values to allow the user to customer tailor the filter settings to different display
devices.
2.5 FIFO
The Flicker Filter stores video data in a FIFO memory. This memory allows the video data to be
transferred from the graphics clock domain to the TV clock domain.
2.6 Post (Horizontal Up) Scaler
The Post Scaler draws information from the FIFO as necessary and scales it horizontally based on the
up-scale value programmed in the Horizontal Scaling Coefficient (HSC) register. The scaled data is
provided at the television clock rate to the SDTV video encoder and the Inverse Color Space.
2.7 Encoder and Inverse Color Space
The FS453 contains a broadcast quality, 2X oversampled video encoder with an Inverse Color Space
matrix. The encoder combines the chrominance, luminance, and timing information into broadcast quality
NTSC or PAL composite and YC (S-Video) signals and sends them to the DACs.
The Inverse Color Space transforms YCrCb video data to the RGB color space required for SCART
output. If the Inverse Color Space is not used, then the Encoder converts YCrCb to YPrPb as required
for SDTV YPrPb output. The RGB or YPrPb signals are sent to the DACs synchronized with the
Encoder's composite signal.
The FS454 and FS456, which are otherwise identical to the FS453 and FS455, respectively, incorporate
Macrovision 7 anti-copy protection in the encoder. The FS454 and FS456 also include 480p protection.
2.8 Bi and Tri-Level Sync Insertion (HDTV)
The FS453 also offers HDTV Syncs output modes. The color matrix, output level, and sync type are fully
programmable allowing for compatibility with the multiple HDTV standards. The FS453 inserts bi-level or
tri-level sync signals as defined by the standards.
2.9 Configurable 10 bit DACs
The four output DACs (Digital/Analog Converters) can be configured for several output formats: RGB
component output (VGA); RGB with CVBS (SCART); CVBS (2 optional) and Y/C (S-Video); and YPrPb
component output (HDTV or SDTV). To conserve power the DACs can be run in low power mode or can
be completely powered down when not in use.
2.10 Clock Management
The FS453 synthesizes a 0.78125-150 MHz clock from the 27 MHz XTAL_IN and supplies this clock
(CLKOUT) to the GCC. The clock is buffered and returned to the FS453 (CLKIN_P) synchronous to the
pixel data and sync information. This clock has a 1.5 Hz resolution and can be adjusted so that the GCC
scaled input data rate exactly matches the ITU-R BT.656 output data rate.
2.11 Oscillators and PLL
The FS453 clock generation circuit operates in one of two modes, NCO (Numerically Controlled
Oscillator) mode or PLL (Phase Locked Loop) mode. In NCO mode, the numerically controlled oscillator

is used to achieve the finest clock resolution, using a dithered clock. In PLL mode, the NCO is bypassed
and the clock is not dithered. The NCO can be used when HTOTAL and VTOTAL values have additional
constraints that prevent selection of values that are factors of the TV pixel rate.
2.12 Serial Control Interface
The FS453 registers are accessed through a serial input/output bus (SIO) which is I2C*-compatible and
SMBus-compatible. These registers can be read or written at any time the part is receiving a reference
clock at XTAL_IN and not being held in reset via the RESET_L pin.
2.13 Sync Timing Generator
The Sync Timing Generator provides/accepts HSync, VSync, Field and Blank signals to/from the graphics
controller.
2.14 Input Synchronization
The FS453 can operate in pseudo-master mode or slave mode. In pseudo-master mode, the GCC
derives the VGA pixel clock, horizontal sync, and vertical sync from CLKOUT supplied by the FS453. In
slave mode, the GCC generates the pixel clock, syncs and data, and the FS453 must be programmed to
generate the same pixel clock, using a common reference. Use the slave mode when the GCC does not
have a pixel clock input.

bus.

3. Technical Highlights
Creating clear, broadcast quality television video from high resolution computer graphics is a complex
process. PC-to-TV Video Scan Converters have to surmount many technical obstacles. The most
challenging of these are scaling, flicker reduction, and encoding.
3.1 Scaling
Converting high-resolution computer images into relatively low-resolution TV images (such as converting
VGA or XGA images into NTSC standard definition television) is an inherently lossy process that requires
a video scaler. For example, converting an image with 1000 pixels in a line into an image with only 500
pixels in a line, means that there must be 50% less data in each line of output. The video scaler has to
perform its tasks effectively without further degrading the image.
3.1.1 Video Scaler Challenges
Therefore, in addition to reducing pixel count and interpolating pixel values, the scaler must not alter the
digital video data by adding artifacts. Examples of artifacts are the introduction of repeated pixels; the
complete loss of pixel data; and the creation of new pixel colors that are not interpolations of original pixel
colors.
In effect, the video scaler should behave like a high quality filter. It should have a gradual frequency roll
off with a good step response and little overshoot or ringing (less than 5%). This is ideal for maintaining
video quality with detailed images (such as text). Detailed images produce rapid output step transitions
that need to be executed cleanly.
3.1.2 FS453 Solution
The following diagram (Figure 2) illustrates the response of the FS453's video scaler. It is a normalized
plot of the Luma frequency response of the FS453's video scaler. As we can see, the FS453's patented
video scaler behaves like a high quality filter with only a gradual frequency roll off.

DATA SHEET: HARDWARE REFERENCE
3.2 Flicker Reduction
Computer images are displayed progressively. That is, for a given frame of video, each line of video is
scanned onto the monitor sequentially. SDTV images, however, are interlaced. Each SDTV frame of
video is broken into two fields (one composed of odd lines and the other of even lines). First the odd
lines are scanned onto the TV, and then the even lines are scanned onto the TV.
The energy decay rate of the phosphors on a TV screen is fast enough that the older field of video will
appear somewhat dimmer than the newer field of video. As the fields are constantly changing, this can
result in a visible flicker between the two fields of data on the TV screen. This flicker is especially visible
when one field contains a long dark line, while an adjacent line (in the other field) contains a long white
line. The higher energy line will decay in brightness much faster than the low energy line, and in turn will
appear to flicker heavily.
Most scan converters simply average the pixel data between lines. This removes the Black-or-White
relationships between lines that viewers recognize as video flicker. The problem with this solution is that
data becomes blurred. Single black or white lines are reduced to grays. Detailed areas of video (such as
the gap in the letter ‘e’) lose their distinction.
3.2.1 Flicker Filter Challenges
The goal is to completely remove flicker from the image without blurring detailed video. To preserve the
video details, the flicker filter should have a flat frequency response (+/- 1dB) between pixels in the
horizontal, and diagonal directions. It must also avoid introducing new artifacts into the digital video
stream. Artifacts include repeating pixels, losing pixels; and creating colors that are not interpolations of
original pixel colors.
3.2.2 FS453 Solution
The FS453 uses a patented flicker filter that calculates output pixel values as a function of both vertical
(line averaging) and horizontal (pixel averaging) pixel relationships. In effect the FS453 can decide
where and how to reduce flicker within the image.
Figure 3 (below) shows a normalized plot of the frequency response of pixels along diagonal after being
processed by the FS453's flicker filter. The response is flat for the majority of the frequency space. This
maintains pixel sharpness while providing excellent flicker suppression.

3.3 Video Encoding
Unlike component video formats (PC and HDTV) that process the color information separately to avoid
interference, broadcast SDTV combines all picture information into a single, composite signal. SDTV
standards have been strictly defined to protect video quality and to allow television manufacturers to
design and build large volumes of systems with confidence that their signal decoders will work—
regardless of variances in final product tolerances.
3.3.1 Encoding Challenges
If a video encoder does not adhere closely to these standards, it may produce video artifacts on many
consumer televisions. Unfortunately, most scan converters use signal encoders that don't strictly follow
NTSC and PAL guidelines. Their encoders can increase artifacts such as chroma crawl and color
bleeding/smearing.
To meet broadcast quality a video encoder must comply with the NTSC (EIA-170A, SMPTE-170M) and
PAL (ITU-R624-3) standards in all modes. Of key importance are the specifications related to accurate
timing and signal amplitudes, video subcarrier frequency good to +/- 5Hz, and horizontal lock with zero
SC-H phase. The encoder must use a low jitter crystal (50 ppm) to drive DAC output directly. The DACs
should have 10 bits of resolution, and exhibit good differential gain and differential phase characteristics.
The video encoder must be able to pre-filter composite video (CVBS) to prevent luma(Y)/chroma(C) cross
talk.
3.3.2 FS453 Solution
The FS453 features a broadcast quality encoder. It uses tunable Y-notch and C-bandpass filters to
prevent the creation of video artifacts and to meet all specifications. The FS453's encoder subcarrier is
programmable in frequency and phase. Because of the encoder's independence of color format, vertical
sync, and number of lines, the FS453 is able to support many SDTV video standards, including all of the
South American variations. The FS453 can output NTSC M, J and PAL B, D, G, H, I, M, N, Combination
N, and PAL-60 formats with 10 bits of resolution. Both Composite and S-Video outputs are available
simultaneously. In addition to encoded PAL or NTSC, the user may select analog SCART RGB outputs.
Each channel of RGB has 10 bits of resolution. Note that the 10-bit DACs exceed the bit depth supported
by the 8-bits available at the FS453 input.

4. Scaling and Positioning Notes
The FS453 graphics converter does not use a frame memory. Therefore, the FS453 input video frame
rate must be synchronous to and match the output video field or frame rate. In SDTV modes, the FS453
uses internal line memories in order to perform horizontal and vertical scaling. This imposes certain
requirements on the scale and position settings.
4.1 Vertical Scaling
Because the frame/field rates are synchronous, and no frame memory is available, the ratios of input to
output VACTIVE is not necessarily the total active lines of the selected TV standard, but is the number of
TV lines that will contain active video information from the input source material. If the output VACTIVE
value is smaller than the value specified by the TV standard, then the FS453 will place borders and below
the image. TV_VTOTAL and GCC_VACTIVE in the VTOTAL equation are determined by the selected
TV standard and graphics mode. TV_VACTIVE is selected to set the desired number of TV lines
containing video information. The Vertical Scaling Coefficient is programmed in register 06h. The ratio of
input to output VTOTAL also determines the vertical scaling factor used. Note that calculations are done
using the output frame size, even though the output is interlaced, because interlacing is done after
vertical scaling.
G C C _V A C T IV E / G C C _V T O T A L = T V _V A C T IV E /T V _V T O T A L
For downscaling, V SC = (T V _V T O T A L / G C C _V T O T A L) * 65,536
For upscaling, V SC = (T V _V T O T A L / G C C _V T O T A L – 1) * 65,536

The total number of lines in a TV video frame. PAL has 625 lines. NTSC has 525 lines.
For example, consider a case where the input graphics active area contains 600 lines and the selected
TV standard is NTSC. In NTSC, TV_VTOTAL is 525 lines per frame and the full-size active area is 487
lines per frame. To program the FS453 to scale the GRAPHICS image to fit on 400 lines of TV video (for
example, to fit the image within the TV bezel), set TV_VACTIVE to 400. This sets three of the four
parameters in the equation, and solving for VGA_VTOTAL results in a value of 787.5. Because values
must be integers, set VGA_VTOTAL to 788. The scaled image will still occupy approximately 400 lines.
Given these VTOTAL values, the vertical scaling factor is 0.6662, and the VSC register will be set to
43,663 (0xAA8F).

4.2 Horizontal Scaling
While vertical scaling is linked to the VTOTAL ratio, horizontal scaling is arbitrary and not linked to
HTOTAL at all. The horizontal scaler is simply programmed with the ratio desired between TV_HACTIVE
pixels the image should occupy, not necessarily the number of active pixels for the selected TV standard.
A significant benefit of this architecture is that HTOTAL can be any arbitrary number that satisfies
graphics controller timing requirements and PLL programming requirements.
For downscaling, HDSC = (TV_HACTIVE / GCC_HACTIVE) * 256 and HUSC = 0
For upscaling, HUSC = ((TV_HACTIVE / GCC_HACTIVE - 1) * 256) and HDSC = 0

The total number of pixels in a TV line. PAL uses 864 pixels. NTSC uses 858 pixels.
HUSC and HDSC are programmed in register 08h (HSC).
For example, consider a case where the input graphics width is 800 pixels and the desired number of
pixels to show is 650. The image must be scaled down horizontally, so HDSC is 208 (D0h) and HSC =
00D0h. For a case where input VGA width is 640 and the desired TV pixel count is 720, the image must
be scaled up. HUSC is 32 (20h) and HSC = 2000h.
4.3 Vertical and Horizontal Position
The position of the graphics image on the television screen is controlled in two ways. The FS453
determines where input video data appears in time using the vertical and horizontal sync signals from the
GCC. This means that adjusting the sync timing in the GCC will change the position of the active video
area on the television. The FS453 also contains registers that control the offset from the sync transition.
These registers allow the active video position on the television to be adjusted independent of the GCC
sync timing.
The IHO (00h) register specifies the number of graphics pixels to skip before starting active video on the
television. To position the actual video area at the left edge of the theoretical active area in TV space,
program the IHO to the distance from the rising edge of HSYNC to the end of the line (HTOTAL). A
larger number will shift video to the left, and a smaller number will shift video to the right.
The IVO (02h) register specifies the number of graphics lines to skip before starting active video on the
television, counting from the rising edge of VSYNC. Programming the register is similar to programming
IHO, but in the vertical direction.

FS453/4 AND FS455/6
DATA SHEET: HARDWARE REFERENCE
9. Component Placement
This section gives guidelines for the placement and layout of components associated with the FS453.
A printed circuit board (PCB) with a minimum of four layers is recommended for all designs utilizing the
FS453. We recommend that layers 1 (top) and 4 (bottom) are used for signals, and that layers 2 and 3
are used for power and ground respectively. This provides the designer with ample access to all system
traces and eases the process of manual design modification.
Place components associated with the FS453 as close as possible to their respective pins. Locate the
FS453 near the power supply connector, the video input connector, and the video output connector.
Place the FS453 above a solid ground plane to shield EMI radiation. Additionally, do not route signal
traces under the FS453.
9.1 Power/Ground
9.1.1 Power
To meet standard CMOS device voltage specifications, the FS453 can be powered by +3.3 Volts. In
addition, the digital core of the chip can be powered by +1.8 Volts. However, since 5 Volt systems are
still common, the FS453 can tolerate up to 5 Volt inputs.
If the switching power supply noise is greater than or equal to 200 mV, use a linear regulator to filter the
analog power supply. It is best not to use unfiltered switching power supplies because they can produce
substantial amounts of electrical noise. Excess electrical noise can induce visible artifacts on analog
video signals, and should be avoided at all costs. To minimize electrical noise, always provide sufficient
filtering and high frequency bypassing on the power supplies. This will insure better video quality and
reduce EMI radiation.
Within the FS453, separate power is routed to each functional section of the die, including the phase
locked loops, D/A converters, digital processors and digital drivers. Segregate the power pins into analog
and digital power planes. Use separate voltage regulators for analog and digital power. It is important to
isolate the analog plane from any electrical noise generated by the digital plane. We recommend
isolating each power supply section from its respective voltage regulator with a series inductor/ferrite
bead and a 4.7µF capacitor connected to ground. The ferrite bead filters high frequency switching noise,
while the 4.7µF capacitor filters low-frequency power supply ripple and acts as a reservoir for heavy
currents drawn by D/A converters.
Make sure you apply clean analog power to the VDD_PA, VDD_OSC, and VDD_DA pins. For high-frequency
power supply noise rejection, place a 0.1 µF capacitor adjacent to each group of pins. To reduce the
lead inductance, locate all capacitors as close as possible to the device and use the shortest possible
leads (consistent with reliable operation). Chip capacitors are best for minimizing lead inductance. If
necessary, you can substitute radial lead ceramic capacitors since they are better than axial lead
capacitors for self-resonance. Chip capacitors are also recommended for power supply decoupling.
Connect these capacitors as close to their respective power and ground pins as possible, using short and
wide traces to minimize lead inductance. When two or more 0.1µF bypass capacitors are adjacent,
consider exchanging one of them with a 100pF to 1000pF capacitor to reduce higher frequency noise

DATA SHEET: HARDWARE REFERENCE
Figure 11: Recommended Power Filter Networks
9.1.2 Ground
Connect the analog and digital grounds of the FS453 to separate ground planes. This will insure that
electrical noise from the digital ground does not pollute the analog ground. Connect these two planes
with either a ferrite bead or a very thin trace. This will allow the two planes to maintain an equal voltage
potential. Whenever possible, connect each of the FS453 ground pins directly to its respective
decoupling capacitor ground lead, and then connect to the ground plane through a ground via. Use short
and wide traces to minimize the lead inductance.
9.1.2.1 Special Consideration:
The FS453 is a high quality mixed process device that has excellent DAC Power Supply noise rejection
(40db of rejection). Good PCB layout will result in an acceptably clean power supply.
In the noisiest environments, a dedicated voltage regulator can dramatically improve the quality of the
power to the FS453. A point-of-use 5V to 3.3V 200mA regulator for the VDD_PA and VDD_DA lines is
recommended in those situations. A single regulator can be used for both VDD_PA and VDD_DA lines,
provided that those lines each have their own passive filter networks (see Figure 11 above). Placing a
"no-stuff" zero ohm resistor between 3.3V and the regulated node will create the option of not populating
the regulator. This allows the design engineer to save cost if testing shows that the regulator is not
necessary.
9.2 DIGITAL SIGNALS
9.2.1 Digital Signal Routing
Isolate digital inputs to the FS453 from the analog outputs and other analog circuitry. The high-speed
edge transition rates of the digital signals cause signal overshoot, undershoot, and ringing; this noise can
directly couple onto any nearby signals. Do not overlay the analog power plane or analog output traces
with digital signal traces. Using lower speed logic (3-5 ns edge rates) will benefit lower-speed
applications by reducing data-related noise on the analog outputs. Reducing the digital edge transition
rates (rise/fall time), minimizing ringing with damping resistors, and routing the digital traces
perpendicular to any analog traces can prevent coupling the noise from the digital signals.

FS453/4 AND FS455/6
DATA SHEET: HARDWARE REFERENCE
9.2.2 Video Inputs
The digital pixel data and the pixel clock of the FS453 may toggle at speeds up to 150 MHz (depending
on input mode). It is critical that the traces used for these signals be kept as short as possible. They
should be isolated from the analog outputs and analog circuitry. The signals carried on these traces are
single ended high-speed signals and should be routed together as a bus. It is recommended that these
traces be at least 8 mils wide.
9.3 ANALOG SIGNALS
9.3.1 Video Output Filters
9.3.1.1 Analog Signal Interconnect
Analog output traces are susceptible to electrical noise generated by digital signals. Digital traces must
not be routed under or adjacent to the analog output traces. We recommend placing a third order
reconstruction filter between the FS453 outputs and the output connectors. This filter network will smooth
the stepped output of the FS453’s DACs. The output filter network and the output connectors should be
located as close as possible to the FS453. This will minimize the possibility of picking up noise from
digital signals. It will also reduce the effects of transmission reflections due to impedance mismatches.
To maximize high-frequency power supply noise rejection, the video output signals should overlay the
ground plane. For maximum performance, the analog video output impedance, cable impedance, and
load impedance should be matched. This will reduce signal transmission reflection.
The output DACs of the FS453 may be configured for many different video formats, since the pins have
no fixed video assignments. The FS453 can assign any combination of Y, C, CVBS, and component (Y,
Pr & Pb) signals to its four DACs. The video traces and the attached components should be laid out
carefully in order to avoid signal coupling amongst each other. It is suggested that the video traces be
separated with ground traces. Do not place the capacitors and inductors attached to those outputs too
close to each other. Route the analog video signals with a minimum of 12 mils spacing between each
other. There should be at least 20 mils between the analog video traces and any digital trace. Route the
video traces in an area of the PCB that does not contain any digital traces. Sharp trace direction changes
(e.g. 90deg) are, in effect, trace width irregularities that affect local transmission line impedances. These
cause minute partial reflections in high-bandwidth signals. 150 MHz clocks with fast rise/fall times are
probably more sensitive to this than 6MHz analog traces. Smooth curves are certainly preferred, and
equal-distant traces help maintain time-alignment. The video traces should be kept on the top PCB layer
with the FS453 to ensure that they are short and direct. Leave unused analog outputs open.

9.4 CLOCK/OSCILLATOR
9.4.1 Reference Crystal Oscillator
The quality of the image produced by the FS453 is directly related to the quality of the reference clock
input to the chip. The FS453 can use either a dedicated external oscillator or the internal oscillator circuit
with an inexpensive crystal as its reference clock. The reference clock must exhibit 50 parts per million
(ppm) or better frequency tolerance (30 ppm preferred), and poses low jitter characteristics.
Any jitter or frequency deviation of the oscillating circuit will be transferred directly to the encoder’s color
subcarrier. Jitter within the valid clock cycle interval will result in hue noise on the color subcarrier on the
order of 0.9-1.6 degrees per nanosecond. Random hue noise can result in degradation in the AM/PM
noise ratio (typically around 40dB for consumer media such as videodiscs and VCRs). Periodic or
coherent hue noise can result in differential phase error (which is limited to 10 degrees by FCC cable TV
standards).
Any frequency deviation of the clock signal from nominal will challenge the subcarrier tracking capability
of the destination receiver. This may range from a few ppm for broadcast equipment to a few hundred
ppm for consumer equipment. Crystal based clock sources with a maximum total deviation of 30 ppm
across the temperature range of 0 C to 70 C will produce the best results for consumer and industrial
applications. Any clock interruption (even during vertical blanking interval) which results in misregistration
of the clock input, or nonstandard pixel counts per line, can cause phase excursions outside the NTSC
limit of +/- 40 degrees.
When using the internal oscillator circuit, you must meet the following conditions to ensure that the FS453
encoder operates properly. The crystal must be specified at 27.000 MHz +/- 50 ppm in parallel
resonance (not series resonance). The external load capacitance needs to be equal to the specified
capacitance value of the crystal. External load capacitors should have their ground connection very close
to the FS453. A variable cap may be used to tune the external load capacitors. Since the crystal
generates a timing reference for the FS453 encoder, it is important that electrical noise not couple into
the circuit. Do not route traces with fast edge transition rates under or adjacent to these pins. Place the
oscillating circuit as close as possible to the FS453. Traces connected from point to point should overlay
the ground plane. If you use an external clock source, make sure it meets CMOS level specifications in
addition to the frequency tolerance specifications.
9.4.2 FS453 Pixel Clock
In addition to the 27 MHz reference clock, the FS453 relies on a variable pixel clock to control the timing
of the digital video signal from the graphics controller (Pseudo-master mode only). This pixel clock is
generated by the FS453, sent to the graphics controller, and then returned to the FS453 along with the

FS453/4 AND FS455/6
DATA SHEET: HARDWARE REFERENCE
graphics controller’s digital video data. The timing of the variable pixel clock is critical; any disturbances
to this signal will translate directly into noise on the video output.
The best method to stabilize the variable pixel clock signal is to source terminate the signal with a load
that matches the impedance of the signal trace. The simplest transmission line termination is a series 33
Ohm SMD resistor placed as close to the source pin on the FS453 as possible. This works well as long
as the signal only has one destination and does not change layers through vias.
Avoid passing the clock signal from layer to layer through vias. Each time a trace goes through a via, a
reflection inducing impedance mismatch occurs at the via, and a completely different impedance will be
present on the new layer. This makes proper termination of the clock signal nearly impossible.
Geometry variations and sudden trace direction changes can also create impedance mismatches.
Therefore, clock traces should maintain constant widths and have gradual/rounded direction changes.
For optimal results, match the impedance of the series termination resistor (nominally estimated at 33
Ohms) to the characteristic impedance of the trace. Use the URL link, http://www.icd.com.au/board.html,
to locate an online calculator that can help define the characteristic impedance of a trace on a PCB.
Maximum power transfer and minimum reflection occur when the load resistor equals the trace
impedance.
Also be careful to prevent coupling between the pixel clock from the FS453 and the pixel clock (or clocks)
that return from the graphics controller. All graphics controllers have internal Phase Locked Loops (which
generate output clocks based on input clocks). The CLKIN_N & CLKIN_P outputs from a graphics
controller are derived from the CLKOUT input from the FS453. Coupling from CLKOUT to CLKIN_N or
CLKIN_P will cause positive feedback (and stability problems) for the graphics controller. Keep CLKOUT
separated from CLKIN_N and CLKIN_P to prevent this from happening.
9.4.3 Pixel Clock Mode
Depending on the architecture and configuration of the graphics controller, the FS453 may use different
clock mode settings. In all these modes HSync, VSync and the pixel data must meet the setup and hold
time requirements (see Section 7.2 of the Hardware Reference, Switching Characteristics, Digital Input
Port) with respect to pixel clock.
The FS453 operates as an integral piece of the computer graphics control circuit. The FS453 receives a
digital video signal directly from the resident Graphics Controller Chip (GCC) and shares operating
information with the GCC. There are two possible modes in which the FS453 can interface with a GCC:
Pseudo-master Mode and Slave Mode.

using the Slave Mode. Since the FS453 cannot control the GCC clock, the scalability of video images is
limited. Additionally, if the GCC has a poor quality clock, the system will produce poor quality images.

9.5 EMI Case Study
The following notes are from an engineer's experiences passing a new board through EMI testing.
1) You may need to analyze your board trace characteristic impedance, and adjust the optimal
termination. If you can slowdown the edges without disturbing your timing, you can exorcise the
(unnecessary) higher harmonics that can scoot across close trace clearances as if they were short
circuits. It wouldn't hurt if you increase the trace to trace separation as much as possible.
2) You may add a 100pF shunt capacitor directly at the video connector pin, and put a ferrite bead
between this cap and the output cap. This, in effect, creates a 5 pole low pass filter at EMI
frequencies, but reduces to the original 3-pole in the video bandwidth (the ferrite impedance
approaches zero). 100 pF was subtracted from the output cap. Therefore, instead of a Pi filter [270
pF, 1.8 uH, 330 pF], we had a double-Pi filter [270 pF, 1.8 uH, 220 pF, 40ohms @100 MHz, 100 pF].
Another possibility was to keep the 3-pole topology and simply add the ferrite in series with the
inductor. Ferrite and shunt capacitor placement is critical. If they are not both right on the pin, HF will
escape one way or another.
3) Use a near field EMI probe to identify hot spots before going to the lab. You can always use it
again in the lab, if necessary.
4) Don't waste time with poor quality cables. Use a braid + foil cable from a reputable company.
5) A leaky PC can cause EMI emission failure. Almost any PC will leak if it has been banged
around enough. Once you find a good PC, keep it under lock and key when not being used for EMI
testing. A Gateway Performance 2000 PC™ (ATXSTF-FED) with upgraded VX920 monitor was
found to be very quiet out of the box. Make sure your TV doesn't fail on its own as well.
6) Check that the card bracket is tightly coupled to the PC chassis frame and that all contacts are
clean.
7) Another trick is to use a different layer stack-up, putting the signal traces on the inside, and using
the ground and power planes as Faraday shields. However, unless the traces were placed at
right angles on adjacent planes, this is not practical (Crosstalk becomes an issue).
