9.2.3 A/V Clock Generation Using Free-Run Mode
The LMH1983 can be used in free-run mode, as shown in the following application example. No HIN, VIN, and FIN
input reference timing signals are provided. Instead, the LMH1983 tracks a 27 MHz TCXO reference, which
replaces the external VCXO and loop filter mentioned in previous applications. The LMH1983 can still produce a
specific set of clock output signals required by a downstream endpoint. In this application, LMH1983 PLLs 1-4
provide a 27 MHz, 148.5 MHz, 148.35 MHz, and 98.304 MHz output, respectively.

9.2.3.1 Design Requirements
This application requires less components than the previous applications mentioned in this section. This is
because there is no HIN reference, external VCXO, or loop filter. However, the PLL1 signal is still applied via the
27 MHz TCXO clock signal on the XOin± pins. Using a TCXO for reference allows a stable, standalone clock
generation for PLLs 2-4.
9.2.3.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Since no HIN input timing signaling is provided, this application example cannot use the "Supported Formats
Lookup Table (LUT)" (see Table 2) for automatic format detection. However, PLLs 2-4 can still be manually
programmed to output the correct output format using Auto Format Detection Codes. To output the desired video
and audio formats from PLLs 2-3, the following output codes should be used:

PLL2 (Output)
PLL3 (Output)

To ensure correct auto-detection and the correct CLKout signaling desired in Figure 30, the following SMBus
register values should be verified or changed from their default values.
