PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD720 and AD721 RGB to NTSC/PAL Encoders convert
red, green and blue color component signals into their corresponding luminance (baseband amplitude) and chrominance
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
(subcarrier amplitude and phase) signals in accordance with
either NTSC or PAL standards. These two outputs are also
combined to provide a composite video output. All three outputs are available separately at voltages of twice the standard
signal levels as required for driving 75 Ω reverse terminated
cables. The AD721 also features a bypass mode, in which the
RGB inputs may bypass the encoder section of the IC via three
gain-of-two amplifiers suitable for driving 75Ω reverse terminated cables.
The AD720 and AD721 provide a complete, fully calibrated
function, requiring only termination resistors, bypass capacitors,
a clock input at four times the subcarrier frequency, and a composite sync pulse. There are two control inputs: one input
selects the TV standard (NTSC/PAL) and the other (ENCD)
powers down most sections of the chip when the encoding function is not in use (AD720) or activates the triple bypass buffer to
drive the RGB signals when RGB encoding is not required
(AD721). All logical inputs are CMOS compatible. The chip
operates from ± 5 V supplies.

NOTES
1
Input scaling resistors provide best scaling accuracy when source resistance is 37.5 Ω (75 Ω reverse-terminated input).
2
Required for driving a 75 Ω double reverse terminated load.
3
All outputs are measured at a reverse-terminated load; voltages at IC pins are twice those specified here.
4
This is a predistortion (per FCC specifications) that compensates for the chroma/luma delay in the low-pass filter that separates the luminance and chrominance
signals in a television receiver.
5
CRMA, LUMA, and CMPS outputs are all connected to 75 Ω reverse-terminated loads; full-white signal for entire field.
Specifications shown in boldface are tested on all production units at final electrical test. Results from those tests are used to calculate outgoing quality levels. All min
and max specifications are guaranteed, although only those shown in boldface are tested on all production units.

**The luminance, chrominance, and composite outputs are at twice normal

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD720/AD721 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage
may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
