AD724 Subcarrier Frequency Control

Thread Summary

The user encountered issues with subcarrier frequency insertion and phase instability when outputting PAL to a VM700T using an AD724 driven by an ADV7125 with a 17.734480 MHz external clock. The problem was resolved by adjusting the horizontal lines to be one 17.734480 MHz clock cycle shorter.

Hello, I'm running into an issue while outputting PAL to a VM700T.

To start, is there any way to control the subcarrier frequency insertion? It seems like the subcarrier frequency is inserted whenever the AD724 gets a csync indicative of a horizontal sync, however during vertical blanking there are a few lines where I do not want the subcarrier frequency, but it shows up anyways.

My second question has to do with subcarrier frequency phase. I am measuring SCH Phase on a VM700T and what I am getting out from the AD724 is a consistently moving target. It is like the PAL phase lock functionality is not working or is working erroneously.

For further information, this AD724 is driven by a ADV7125. An external 17.734480 MHz clock is used as a pixel clock and is also fed into the Fin input of the AD724.

Please advise.
