GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADV7123 (ADV®) is a triple high speed, digital-to-analog
converter on a single monolithic chip. It consists of three high
speed, 10-bit, video DACs with complementary outputs, a
standard TTL input interface, and a high impedance, analog
output current source.
The ADV7123 has three separate 10-bit-wide input ports. A
single 5 V/3.3 V power supply and clock are all that are required
to make the part functional. The ADV7123 has additional video
control signals, composite
SYNC
The ADV7123 also has a power save mode.
