This bit can be used to fully power down both interfaces
details on which blocks are actually powered down. Note
that the chip is unable to detect incoming activity while
fully powered down.

Sync Separator Threshold
This register is used to set the responsiveness of the sync
separator. It sets the number of 5 MHz clock pulses the
sync separator counts before toggling high or low. It works
like a low-pass filter to ignore Hsync pulses in order to
extract the Vsync signal. This register should be set to a
number greater than the maximum Hsync pulse width.
The default for this register is 32.

Scan Enable
This register is used to enable the scan function. When
this function is enabled, data can be loaded into the
AD9887A outputs serially. The scan function utilizes
three pins: SCANIN, SCANOUT, and SCANCLK. These pins

COAST Input Polarity Override
This register is used to override the internal circuitry
that determines the polarity of the coast signal going
into the PLL.

Sync-on-Green Slicer Threshold
This register allows the comparator threshold of the
sync-on-green slicer to be adjusted. This register adjusts
the comparator threshold in 10 mV steps. A setting of 0
results in a 330 mV threshold; a setting of 31 results in a
10 mV threshold. The default setting is 23, which corre-
sponds to a threshold value of 70 mV.
