PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD723 is a low cost RGB-to-NTSC/PAL encoder that
converts analog red, green, and blue color component signals
into their corresponding luminance and chrominance signals for
display on an NTSC or PAL television. Luminance (Y) and
Chrominance (C) signals are available individually for S-video,
or combined for composite video (CV). All outputs are avail-
able separately and optimized for driving 75 Ω loads. Active
termination is used for lower power consumption.
A smart load detect feature powers down unused outputs and
can be used to monitor the continuing presence or absence of
an external TV. This enables plug-and-play operation. In addition,
a logic controlled triple switch at the input solves the applica-
tions problem of differing load conditions when an RGB monitor
is disconnected. When an RGB monitor is not present, the R,
G, and B terminations are enabled by the user. This solution
ensures no loss of video bandwidth when the RGB monitor is
in operation.
In PC applications, flicker filter support is provided by the
graphics controller, which has direct access to memory. Under-
scan compensation, necessary for uses other than video or
DVD, is supported through choice of RGB output clocks and
sync intervals.
An optional luminance trap (YTRAP) provides a means of
reducing cross color artifacts due to subcarrier frequency infor-
mation in the Y signal.
The AD723 is available in a 28-lead TSSOP package and is
capable of operation from supplies of 2.7 V to 5.5 V.
