Hi Team,
Is there ever a circumstance where register 0x0C, bit 2 would be asserted high without a PCLK signal being applied to the pin?
Thanks,
Jared

Jared,
In the very unlikely event that there is enough noise coupled into the OLDI clock pins at a valid frequency then it is possible for this bit to go high. Otherwise it should not.

Hi Casey,
Thank you for the insight! A few additional questions related to PCLK detect..
Thank you,
Jared
Hello Jared,
Unfortunately we do not have characterization data to answer any of those 4 questions. The PCLK detect circuit is not designed to be highly accurate. It is intended more for general debugging to determine if there is a PCLK present which is relatively close to the intended frequency. We also don't have any data regarding how long it takes to set, un-set, etc.

Hi Casey,
Got it, thanks! One more question.. does the PCLK detect wait for the OLDI clock to interface with the PLL inside the chip before the bit is flipped to "1" or does it flip to "1" immediately when the OLDI clock reaches the inside of the chip?
Thanks,
Jared
Hello Jared,
The frequency detection is based on a circuit which counts the number of pixel clock edges within a period of approx 4us. Measurements are updated every approx 10us.

Hi Casey,
Ok, so it sounds like this circuit and detection is independent of the PLL, correct? Do you know how many pixel clock edges the circuit has to see in the 4us period to determine that a proper PCLK is there?
Thanks,
Jared
Hello Jared,
The count of transitions is divided by 4 to give the frequency value in MHz. Since the lowest possible detection frequency is 1MHz, then the circuit would need to see at least 4 transitions within the 4us. But since the part is not validated to work with PCLK less than 25MHz, we have not tested anything related to the PCLK detect circuit with that low of frequency anyways.
Best Regards,
Casey
Thanks Casey,
When you say measurements are updated every 10us, what do you mean by that? Is there a register that gets updated with the specific PCLK frequency that is derived from this counter?
Best,
Jared
Hi Casey,
Register 0x57 on the UH947 datasheet is for TDM configuration..
