INTERNAL AREA PULSE GENERATOR

In addition to the INTBLCENB pulse generator described above, the WM8170 includes an

independent pulse generator which can be use to define any area within the video frame. The output

of the Area Pulse Generator can be used either independently of the INTBLCENB pulse (if the

BLCENB pulse generator is turned off using the STPANAL and STPIIR control bits), or to define

additional areas where the user wishes either the Analogue Control Loop or the IIR filter to operate.

This pulse generator works in a similar way to the pulse generator described above, but uses the

Vertical Drive (VD) and Horizontal Drive (HD) inputs, along with the Master Clock, to allow the user to

define any area within the active video signal.

The horizontal area enable operates as shown in Figure 21. The Management Interface registers

PIXDEL[11:0] and PIXWID[11:0] are used to define the pulse. The horizontal Area Pulse will have a

delay of PIXDEL+1 pixels from the falling edge of the HD input, and will be PIXWID pixels wide.

The vertical area enable operates as shown in Figure 22. The Management Interface registers

LINDEL[11:0] and LINWID[11:0] are used to define the pulse. The Vertical Area Pulse will have a

delay of LINDEL HD pulses from the falling edge of the VD input, and will be LINWID HD pulses

wide.

Figure 22 Generating the Vertical Area Pulse

The logical combination of the active low, horizontal area pulse and the active low, vertical area pulse

is used to define the area of the input video required.
