National Semi Video Timing Reference Design

National Semiconductor Corp. has introduced a video clock reference design, now available as a module for the Xilinx ML571 serial digital video development board. Available as plug-in module for Xilinx ML571 serial digital video development board, ML571-1982CLK video clock reference design module enables SMPTE-compliant jitter performance for broadcast video applications. It delivers low clock output jitter of 40 psed p-p at 148.5 MHz to drive Virtex-5 LXT FPGA's integrated SerDes without need for additional clock cleaning circuitry. Unit features LMH1982 multi-rate video clock generator and LMH1981 sync separator devices. Available now, the ML571-1982CLK reference design clock module is priced at $299 each. The IP includes source and executable binaries that provide system designers maximum flexibility to customize their design and reduce time-to-market.
