An example of a board design including the GS1572 is shown below. A 10-bit or 20-bit signal at HD or SD rates must be supplied, along with a parallel clock. The serialized output is driven by an internal cable driver.
NOTE: Optionally, 3.3V digital can be replaced with 1.8V digital to run with 1.8V 2.1.1 Isolation Methods Because of the noise sensitive nature of the PLL and analog components of the GS1572, an isolation technique should be used to filter power to these sections.
Additional points relating to SDO layout and component placement (Figure 2-2): 1. Place the pull-up resistors close to the SDO and SDO pins of the GS1572. 2. Try to avoid running high speed traces through vias. Plane Layer, Negative Image...
Gennum’s external GO1555 VCO is required for operation of the GS1572. VCO_VCC (pin A8) and VCO_GND (pins B8 and B9) are provided by the GS1572’s internal regulator and supply +2.5V to the GO1555. The +2.5V is derived from the +3.3V ANALOG connection to CP_VDD (pin A10) and CP_GND (pin B10) of the GS1572.
The board contains headers and leads allowing output signals to be easily probed and chip features to be enabled. It also provides a JTAG interface and access to the GS1572’s internal registers via the Gennum Serial Peripheral Interface (GSPI). A push button allows the board to easily be reset.
D18 and D19 directly to the DIN18 and DIN19 pins on the GS1572. If the device is in DVB_ASI mode, the two jumpers should be placed vertically to tie KIN on the DIN18 pin of the device and tie INSSYNCIN (DIN19) to GND.
The GS1572 contains a set of internal status and configuration registers. These registers are available to the host via the GS1572’s GSPI pins. Access to the applicable pins on the GS1572 is provided using the JTAG/HOST interface section of the GS1572 (see Figure 3-5).
