When reclocker lock as indicated by the internal pll_lock
signal is achieved in this mode, one of the following will
occur:
1. In slave mode, data will be passed directly to the
parallel outputs without any further processing taking
place and the LOCKED signal will be asserted HIGH if
and only if the SMPTE_BYPASS and DVB_ASI input pins
are set LOW; or
2. In master mode, the LOCKED signal will be asserted
LOW, the parallel outputs will be latched to logic LOW,
and the SMPTE_BYPASS and DVB_ASI output signals
will also be set LOW.
3.6.2 Master Mode
Recall that the GS1560A is said to be in master mode when
the MASTER/SLAVE input signal is set HIGH. In this case,
the following four device pins become output status signals:
SMPTE_BYPASS
DVB_ASI
SD/HD
RC_BYP
The combined setting of these four pins will indicate
whether the device has locked to valid SMPTE or DVB-ASI
data at SD or HD rates. Table 2 shows the possible
combinations.
3.6.3 Slave Mode
The GS1560A is said to be in slave mode when the
MASTER/SLAVE input signal is set LOW. In this case, the
four device pins listed in Section 3.6.2 become input control
signals.
It is required that the application layer set the first three
inputs to reflect the appropriate input data format
(SMPTE_BYPASS, DVB_ASI, and SD/HD). If just one of
these three is configured incorrectly, the device will not lock
to the input data stream, and the DATA_ERROR pin will be
set LOW.
The fourth input signal, RC_BYP, allows the application
layer to determine whether the serial digital loop-through
output will be a reclocked or buffered version of the input,
(see Section 3.4.2). Table 3 shows the required settings for
various input formats.
