The color burst from AD723 seems to move on AD723 Eval Board.

Thread Summary

The user inquired about the variability of the color burst start point on the AD723 Eval Board (AD723EB rev.B). The engineer confirmed that the maximum phase error due to asynchronous operation is one cycle of 4FSC (90 degrees at 3.579545 MHz), and variations due to temperature, process, and voltage are negligible. The user should focus on the accuracy of the external 4FSC oscillator (14.318180 MHz) for assessing the burst start point variation.

Hello,

I have questions about AD723.
The start point of color burst from AD723 seems to move on AD723 Eval Board (AD723EB rev.B).
Could you see attached file "Color_burst_AD723_rev01.xlsx" for more detail?

Thank you!

Best regards.

  • Hello Tamu,

    Yes, you are correct.  The phase varies because the two signals are not synchronous, so cycle-slipping occurs between them.  The NTSC specification requires a fixed 19-cycle phase relationship between the 50% point of the Hsync leading edge and the first rising edge of the colorburst signal, but some systems can operate asynchronously.  If you are using the eval board with the autonomous clock oscillator, you are operating asynchrnously.  Do you have a reference clock available that is synchronous with your sync pulses?  You will need this for synchronous operation.

    Best regards.
