Address 0x0E[5]—HSYNC Output Polarity
This bit determines the polarity of the HSYNC output and the
Table 13. HSYNC Output Polarity Settings

Function
0 (default)
Logic 1 (positive polarity)
1
Logic 0 (negative polarity)
Address 0x0E[4]—Active HSYNC Override
This bit is used to override the automatic HSYNC selection. To
initiate this override, set this bit to Logic 1. When overriding the
automatic HSYNC selection, the active HSYNC is set via Bit 3
in this register.

Function
0 (default)
Bit 6 in Register 0x14 deter-
mines the active interface.
1
Override, Bit 3 determines
the active interface.
Address 0x0E[3]—Active HSYNC Select
This bit is used under two conditions. It is used to select the
active HSYNC when the override bit (Register 0x0E, Bit 4) is
set. Alternatively, it is used to determine the active HSYNC
when the override bit is not set but both HSYNCs are detected.

Function
0 (default)

Sync-on-green input
Address 0x0E[2]—VSYNC Output Invert
This bit inverts the polarity of the VSYNC output (see
Table 16).

Function
0 (default)
Invert
1
Do not invert
Address 0x0E[1]—Active VSYNC Override
This bit is used to override the automatic VSYNC selection. To
initiate this override, set this bit to Logic 1. When overriding
the automatic VSYNC selection, the active interface is set via
Bit 0 in this register.

Function
0 (default)
Bit 3 in Register 0x14 deter-
mines the active VSYNC.
1
Override, Bit 0 determines
the active VSYNC.
Address 0x0E[0]—Active VSYNC Select
This bit is used to select the active VSYNC when the override
bit (Register 0x0E, Bit 1) is set.

Address 0x0F[7]—Clamp Input Signal Source
This bit determines the source of clamp timing.

Clamp Input Signal Source Setting
Function
0 (default)
Internally generated
clamp
1
Externally provided
clamp signal
A 0 enables the clamp timing circuitry controlled by clamp
placement and clamp duration. The clamp position and
duration is counted from the trailing edge of HSYNC.
A 1 enables the external CLAMP input pin. The three channels are
clamped when the CLAMP signal is active. The polarity of CLAMP
is determined by the clamp input signal polarity bit (Register 0x0F,
Bit 6).
Address 0x0F[6]—Clamp Input Signal Polarity
This bit determines the polarity of the externally provided
CLAMP signal.
Table 20. Clamp Input Signal Polarity Settings
CLAMP Input Signal Polarity Setting
Function
0
Active high
1 (default)
Active low
A Logic 1 means the circuit clamps when CLAMP is low and
passes the signal to the ADC when CLAMP is high.
A Logic 0 means the circuit clamps when CLAMP is high and
passes the signal to the ADC when CLAMP is low.
Address 0x0F[5]—Coast Select
This bit is used to select the active coast source. The choices are
the COAST input pin or VSYNC. If VSYNC is selected, users
must decide whether to use the VSYNC input pin or the output
from the sync separator (Register 0x0E, Bit 1 and Bit 0).

VSYNC input pin or
output from sync
