It appears that the solution to the jitter problem might be to change the way that we generate the clocks.

Something like this could be used to generate the existing two clocks plus a third one to drive the pixel clock generators:

This is EEPROM (1K cycles) so it can't be used for the pixel clock generators.

For the pixel clock generators, the maximum frequency required and output voltage required are going to be the main parameters to choose parts.

To add to this. If, we use a frequency synthesizer for the pixel clocks, it might actually be less expensive since the PLL's phase detector would operate at a much lower frequency.


The NXP (Phillips) 3xDAC has a maximum frequency of 330MHz as does the SiI1178. If we are going to use a pixel clock that fast, there aren't many dot clock generators that are that fast. 200 to 230MHz seems to be the upper limit for most chips.

I found a Phillips part that we might want to look at:

I'm not well today so someone else will have to look at it.

I also found an IDT chip but it is 5 volt.

If we are going to de-jitter, we should probably look at RF parts.
