FS453/4 AND FS455/6 DATA SHEET: HARDWARE REFERENCE

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 I

-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.
