METHOD AND CIRCUIT FOR DISPLAYPORT VIDEO CLOCK RECOVERY

摘要

A method and a circuit are described for recovery of video clocks for a DisplayPort receiver. The disclosure includes two clock dividers, a direct digital synthesis (DDS), a fixed multiplier Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) on a DisplayPort video system. A DisplayPort receiver link clock is divided to a lower frequency as the input of the DDS which can lower the performance requirement on a DDS circuit. The output from a time stamp value indirectly controls a direct digital synthesis device, which then drives a PLL to generate the recovery clock signal. The technique is suitable for implementation on an integrated circuit and Field Programmable Gate array system.
