Power-Down Control Select
This bit determines whether power-down is con-
trolled manually or automatically by the chip. If
automatic control is selected (Register 0x1E, Bit 4), the
AD9981’s decision is based on the status of the sync
detect bits (Register 0x24, Bits 2, 3, 6, and 7). If either
an Hsync or a sync-on-green input is detected on any
input, the chip powers up or powers down. For
manual control, the AD9981 allows the flexibility of
control through both a dedicated pin and a register bit.
The dedicated pin allows a hardware watchdog circuit
to control power-down, while the register bit allows
power-down to be controlled by software. With
manual power-down control, the polarity of the
powerdown pin must be set (0x1E, Bit 2) whether it is
used or not. If unused, it is recommended to set the
polarity to active high and hardwire the pin to ground
with a 10 k resistor.

Power-Down
This bit is used to manually place the chip in power-
down mode. It is only used if manual power-down
control is selected (see Bit 4 above). Both the state of
this register bit and the power-down pin (Pin 17)
are used to control manual power-down. (See the
Power Management section for more details on
power-down.)

Power-Down Fast Switching Control
This bit controls a special fast switching mode. With
this bit the AD9981 can stay active during power-
down and only put the outputs in high impedance.
This option is useful when the data outputs from two
chips are connected on a PCB and the user wants to
switch instantaneously between the two.

SOGOUT High Impedance Control
This bit controls whether the SOGOUT output pin is
in high impedance or not, when in power-down mode.
In most cases, SOGOUT is not put in high impedance
during normal operation. It is usually needed for sync
detection by the graphics controller. The option to put
SOGOUT in high impedance is included mainly to
allow for factory testing modes.

Output Mode
These bits choose between three options for the
output mode. In 4:4:4 mode, RGB is standard. In 4:2:2
mode, YCbCr is standard, which allows a reduction in
the number of output pins from 30 to 20. In 4:4:4
DDR output mode, the data is in RGB mode, but
changes on every clock edge. The power-up default
setting is 100.
