Figure 3-7: Optional 10FID Output Timing
The phasing of the divide by n frame counter may be reset by an external pulse on the
10FID input pin, or via register 1Ah of the host interface (see Section 3.10.3 on page 67).
NOTE: If a 10FID input signal is not provided to the device, the 10FID output signal will
be invalid until the user initiates a reset via the host interface. The user should also reset
the 10FID signal via the host if at any time the H input reference signal is removed and
then re-applied.
3.8.2 Audio Frame Synchronizing Pulse (GS4901B only)
As described in Table 1-3, the audio frame synchronizing (AFS) pulse identifies the
frame, within an n frame sequence, in which the audio sample rate clock is aligned with
the H Sync of line 1. It is generated for all video formats.
The leading edge of the AFS output pulse is co-timed with the H Sync corresponding to
line 1 of every nth frame in the sequence, and therefore identifies the exact time at which
the audio sample rate clock and video PCLK have synchronous leading edges.
The number of frames in the sequence, n, is determined by the video frame rate and the
audio clock frequency. These are selected using the VID_STD[5:0] and ASR_SEL[2:0]
pins or via the host interface.
By default, the AFS pulse is 1 line long, as shown in Figure 3-8. Alternatively, by setting
bit 1 of the Audio_Control register, the AFS output signal may be configured to go HIGH
on the leading edge of the H Sync pulse of line 1 of the first field in the ‘n’ frame
sequence, and be reset LOW on the leading edge of the H Sync pulse of line 1 of the
second field in the sequence. The AFS timing in this configuration is similar to the 10FID
optional timing shown in Figure 3-7.
