DESCRIPTION
The TDA8446 is a video switch which has been designed
for use in Digital Multistandard System Decoders (DMSD)
in digital video system. The device is intended for matrixing
incoming RGB signals and for switching between
luminance signals. It generates a SYNC signal and TTL
clamping pulses from any video signal with sync pulses.

DESCRIPTION
DIP20 SO28
extracted from the incoming signal at pin 2 (SIN).
connected to this pin, the generated pulse clamps the RGB inputs.
level at this input forces the circuit to output the generated clamping pulse.
incoming Y signal (active-HIGH).
signals, a HIGH level at this input forces the circuit to output the internal Y signal.
amplifiers (A), a LOW level at this input forces the gain A to 6 dB (HIGH forces to 0 dB).
