( 1-3 ) CLAMP PULSE MASK FUNCTION
To avoid mis-clamping, the SYNCDET signal is masked outside the SYNC signal period. The masking period is from the
rising edge of the SYNCDET signal to 1536 clock periods ( 1 clock = 37 ns ). During this period, no SYNCDET signal is
generated ( refer to the timing diagram below ).
This pulse mask is reset via register programming ( refer to item 1-6-5 ).

( 1-4 ) EXTERNAL CLAMP TIMING INPUT VIA EXTCLP PIN
It is possible to input an external clamp timing pulse via the EXTCLP pin by setting the INCLPTMG-bit and
[ FBCLPTMG1 : FBCLPTMG0 ]-bits of the [ CLAMP CONTROL REGISTER ]. For further register settings, please refer
to item ( 1-6 ) SYNC SEPARATION REGISTER RELATED DESCRIPTION.
( 1-5 ) CLAMP TIMING PULSE MONITOR FUNCTION
It is possible to monitor the internal clamp timing through the EXTCLP pin only when no external clamp timing is used.
Output signals monitored on EXTCLP pin are SYNC-TIP clamp timing pulse, Pedestal clamp timing pulse and
SYNCDET signal. The target signal is selected by [ EXTCLP1 : EXTCLP0 ]-bit of the [ CLAMP TIMING 1 CONTROL
REGISTER ].
( 1-6 ) SYNC-SEPARATION RELATED REGISTER DESCRIPTION
Sync-separation and Clamp pulse related registers are [ INPUT SIGNAL SELECT REGISTER ], [ CLAMP CONTROL
REGISTER ], [ CLAMP TIMING 1 CONTROL REGISTER ] and [ CLAMP TIMING 2 CONTROL REGISTER ].
Select Sync-separation signal is done using the [ INPUT SIGNAL SELECT REGISTER ].
