TIMING
The following timing diagrams show the operation of the
AD9985.
The output data clock signal is created so that its rising edge
always occurs between data transitions and can be used to latch
the output data externally.
There is a pipeline in the AD9985, which must be flushed before
valid data becomes available. This means that four data sets are
presented before valid data is available.

HSYNC TIMING
Horizontal Sync (Hsync) is processed in the AD9985 to
eliminate ambiguity in the timing of the leading edge with
respect to the phase-delayed pixel clock and data.
The Hsync input is used as a reference to generate the pixel
sampling clock. The sampling phase can be adjusted, with
respect to Hsync, through a full 360° in 32 steps via the phase
adjust register (to optimize the pixel sampling time). Display
systems use Hsync to align memory and display write cycles, so
it is important to have a stable timing relationship between
Hsync output (HSOUT) and data clock (DATACK).
Three things happen to Horizontal Sync in the AD9985. First,
the polarity of Hsync input is determined and will thus have a
known output polarity. The known output polarity can be
programmed either active high or active low (Register 0EH,
Bit 5). Second, HSOUT is aligned with DATACK and data
outputs. Third, the duration of HSOUT (in pixel clocks) is set
via Register 07H. HSOUT is the sync signal that should be used
to drive the rest of the display system.
COAST TIMING
In most computer systems, the Hsync signal is provided
continuously on a dedicated wire. In these systems, the COAST
input and function are unnecessary and should not be used, and
the pin should be permanently connected to the inactive state.
In some systems, however, Hsync is disturbed during the
Vertical Sync period (Vsync). In some cases, Hsync pulses
