LMH1983: LMH1983 Configuration - User Defined Formats

Part Number: LMH1983

Hello,

I am trying to program the LMH1983 to genlock to a User Defined Format, but I have not succeeded.

I need the LMH1983 to genlock to an NTSC, 525I, but I not want to provide the Field, and the Vsync signals. Therefore, I need to configure the part to look at Hsync.

Here are the Input Timing Parameters based on Table 2: Supported Formats Table LUT.

Format: NTSC, 525I

Reference Divider: 1

Feedback Divider: 1716

Phase Detector Freq: 15.7343kHz

PD Period per Frame Counter: 525

PLL: 1

PLL Clock Freq: 27.0MHz

Total Clocks per Line Counter: 1716

Total Lines Per Frame: 525

Frame Rate: 29.97Hz

I do not know, if I have to, how to set the registers highlighted in red. Can someone explain to me how to exactly set these registers?

0x51 User Auto Format -27M High Value MSB 0X86 There are 34320 clock cycles in 20 Hsync lines
The High Value is 34322.
The Low Value is 34318.
Not sure if this is corect.
