[PAL] ADV7393

Thread Summary

The user is trying to configure the ADV7393 to generate a PAL square pixel output from a 16-bit RGB (565) input at 640x480 resolution and 29.5 MHz clock. The final answer confirms that the ADV7393 supports SD non-interlaced mode but cannot convert 288P (SD non-interlaced) to PAL interlaced output. The user needs to provide the correct 768x576 resolution and 25 fps frame rate, with the pixel clock at 14.75 MHz, and ensure proper HSYNC/VSYNC timings as per CEA861B formats 8 & 9.

Hi all,

                first of all, thanks for the help you will give us.

Scenario:

- ADV7393 PAL encoder is attached to the output of the LVDS controller of my board. The LVDS output is RGB 16(565) with resolution of 640x480. I would like to generate the output of ADV7393 as PAL signal with SD definition in square pixel mode.

The input clock of ADV7393 is 29.5MHz. My setup of registers is the one reported in table 97 of the datasheet :

Subaddress   Setting                                     Description
0x17               0x02        Software Reset
0x00               0x1C       All DACs enabled. PLL enabled (16×).
0x01               0x00       SD input mode.
0x80               0x11       PAL standard. SSAF luma filter enabled. 1.3 MHz chroma filter enabled.
0x82               0xD3      Pixel data valid. CVBS/Y-C (S-Video) out. SSAF PrPb filter enabled. Active video edge control enabled. Square pixel mode enabled.
0x87               0x80      RGB input enabled.
0x88               0x10      16-bit RGB input enabled.
0x8A               0x0C     Timing Mode 2 (slave). HSYNC/VSYNC synchronization.

Subcarrier frequency register values for CVBS and/or S-Video (Y-C) output in PAL square pixel mode (29.5 MHz input clock).
0x8C 0x0C
0x8D 0x8C
0x8E 0x79
0x8F 0x26

But nothing is snown on my display (PAL) attached to DAC1 of the ADV7393.

- Question:

    - do the LVDS output signal (input of the ADV7393 encoder) have some "constraint" in timing (e.g. HSYNC, VSYNC timing) that will allow the ADV7393 to generate the PAL output ?

    - are my setting correct or I miss something ?

Best Regards,
