The ZL50050 accepts a frame pulse (FP8i) and generates two frame pulse outputs, FP8o and FP16o, which are
aligned to the master frame pulse. There is a constant throughput delay for data being switched from the input to
the output of the device such that data which is input during Frame N is output during Frame N+2.
For further details of frame pulse conditions and options, see Section 14.1, Control Register (CR), Figure 22, Frame
Boundary Conditions, ST-BUS Operation, and Figure 23, Frame Boundary Conditions, GCI-Bus Operation.

the “AC Electrical Characteristics,” on page 80. Note that although the figure above shows the traditional setups of
the frame pulses and clocks for both ST-BUS and GCI-Bus configurations, the devices can be configured to
accept/generate double-width frame pulses (if the FPW bit in the Control Register is set) as well as to use the
opposite clock edge for frame-boundary determination (using the C8IPOL and COPOL bits in the Control Register).
See the timing diagrams in “AC Electrical Characteristics,” on page 80 for all of the available configurations.
2.4
To improve the jitter tolerance of the ZL50050, a Frame Boundary Discriminator (FBD) circuit was added to the
device. This circuit is enabled by setting the Control Register bit FBDEN to HIGH. By default the FBD is disabled.
The FBD can operate in two modes, as controlled by the FBD_MODE[2:0] bits of the Control Register. When bits
FBD_MODE[2:0] are set to 000
FBD_MODE[2:0] are set to 111
are reserved. These bits are ignored when bit FBDEN is LOW. It is strongly recommended that if bit FBDEN is set
HIGH, bits FBD_MODE[2:0] should be set to 111
To achieve the best jitter tolerance performance, it is also recommended that the input data sampling point be
optimized. In most applications, the optimum sampling point is 1/2 instead of the default 3/4 (it can be changed by
programming all the LIDR and BIDR registers). This will give more allowance for sampling point variations caused
