Figure 2–11. Reference Clock Configurations
The TVP5020 generates three signals PCLK, SCLK, and PREF used for clocking data. PCLK is the pixel
clock at the sampling frequency. PCLK can be used for clocking data in the 16-bit 4:2:2 and the 12-bit 4:1:1
output formats. SCLK is at twice the sampling frequency and may be used for clocking data in the 8-bit 4:2:2
and ITU-R BT.656 formats. PREF is used as a clock qualifier with SCLK to clock data in the 16-bit 4:2:2 and
the 12-bit 4:1:1 formats

Video Output Format
The TVP5020 supports both square-pixel and ITU-R BT.601 sampling formats and multiple output formats:
16-bit 4:2:2
12-bit 4:1:1
8-bit 4:2:2
ITU-R BT.656

Sampling Frequencies and Patterns
The sampling frequencies that control the number of pixels per line differ depending on the video format and
standards. Table 2–1 shows a summary of the sampling frequencies.

Depending on the output format chosen, The TVP5020 outputs data in the 4:2:2 or 4:1:1 sampling pattern.
The patterns differ in the number of chrominance samples derived from the original samples. For the 4:2:2
pattern, every second sample is both a luminance and a chrominance sample; the remainder are
luminance-only samples. For the 4:1:1 pattern, every fourth sample is both a luminance and a chrominance
sample; the remainder are luminance-only samples.
