HORIZONTAL INTERVAL REGISTERS
Register Description (Continued)
The Horizontal Interval Registers determine the number of
clock cycles per line and the characteristics of the Horizontal
Sync and Blank pulses.

Illegal State
These registers determine the width of equalization and ser-
ration pulses and the vertical interval over which they occur.

REG11 — Equalization/Serration Pulse Vertical
Interval Start Time
Double Equalization and Serration mode will output equal-
ization and serration pulses at twice the HSYNC frequency
(i.e., 2 equalization or serration pulses for every HSYNC
pulse). Single Equalization and Serration mode will output
an equalization or serration pulse for every HSYNC pulse. In
Interlaced mode equalization and serration pulses will be
output during the VBLANK period of every odd and even
field. Interlaced Single Equalization and Serration mode is
not possible with this part.
REG12 — Equalization/Serration Pulse Vertical
Interval End Time
VERTICAL INTERRUPT SPECIFICATION REGISTERS
These Registers determine the width of the Vertical Interrupt
signal if used.
REG13 — Vertical Interrupt Activate Time
REG14 — Vertical Interrupt Deactivate Time
Bits 5–8
Bits 5 through 8 control the polarity of the outputs. A value of
zero in these bit locations indicates an output pulse active
LOW. A value of 1 indicates an active HIGH pulse.
CURSOR LOCATION REGISTERS
These 4 registers determine the cursor position location, or
they generate separate Horizontal and Vertical Gating sig-
nals.

Bits 9–11
Bits 9 through 11 enable several different features of the de-
vice.

All horizontal signals are defined by a start and end time.
The start and end times are specified in number of clock
cycles per line. The start of the horizontal line is considered
pulse 1 not 0. All values of the horizontal timing registers are
referenced to the falling edge of the Horizontal Blank signal
(see Figure 1). Since the first CLOCK edge, CLOCK #1,
causes the first falling edge of the Horizontal Blank reference
pulse, edges referenced to this first Horizontal edge are n +
1 CLOCKs away, where “n” is the width of the timing in ques-
tion. Registers 1, 2, and 3 are programmed in this manner.
The horizontal counters start at 1 and count until HMAX. The
value of HMAX must be divisible by 2. This limitation is im-
Default values for B10 are “0” in the ’ACT715/
LM1882 and “1” in the ’ACT715-R/LM1882-R.
