GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADV7121/ADV7122 (ADV®) is a video speed, digital-toanalog converter on a single monolithic chip. The part is specifically designed for high resolution color graphics and video
systems including high definition television (HDTV). It is also
ideal for any application requiring a low cost, high speed DAC
function especially in communications. It consists of three, high
speed, 10-bit, video D/A converters (RGB), a standard TTL input
interface and high impedance, analog output, current sources.
The ADV7121/ADV7122 has three separate, 10-bit, pixel input
ports, one each for red, green and blue video data. A single +5 V
power supply, an external 1.23 V reference and pixel clock input is
all that is required to make the part operational. The ADV7122
has additional video control signals, composite
SYNC and BLANK.
The ADV7121/ADV7122 is capable of generating RGB video
output signals which are compatible with RS-343A, RS-170 and
most proposed production system HDTV video standards, including SMPTE 240M.
The ADV7121/ADV7122 is fabricated in a +5 V CMOS process. Its monolithic CMOS construction ensures greater functionality with low power dissipation. The ADV7121 is packaged
in a 0.6", 40-pin plastic DIP package. The ADV7122 is pack-
aged in a 44-pin plastic leaded (J-lead) chip carrier, PLCC,
and 48-lead thin quad flatpack (TQFP).
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Fast video refresh rate, 80 MHz.
2. Guaranteed monotonic to 10 bits. Ten bits of resolution allows for implementation of linearization functions such as
gamma correction and contrast enhancement.
3. Compatible with a wide variety of high resolution color
graphics systems including RS-343A/RS-170 and the proposed SMPTE 240M standard for HDTV.
