Color TV Signal Encoder
BA7232FS
The BA7232FS converts analog RGB signals into color TV signals in the NTSC and PAL formats. From inputs of
analog RGB signals, a composite synch signal, burst pulses and a color carrier, this IC generates a color TV signal,
and can be adapted for either NTSC or PAL standards, which are selected externally. When set to PAL, the
BA7232FS changes chroma phase according to the burst flag pulses.
The chroma signals and luminosity signals can be combined into a color TV signal or output separately, making this
IC suitable for S pins. Also, this IC comes with an output pin for the analog RGB signal. Each output has a built-in
75Ω driver.

Circuit operation
(1) SYNCIN is for composite synch input. During low
input, the synchronization signal is output to YOUT,
VOUT and SYNCOUT.
(2) BFP is for burst flag pulse input. During low input,
the burst signal is output to pins CO and VO. When the
IC is set to PAL, it is this signal that directs the phase
inversion of the chroma signals. This signal also controls the timing of the pedestal clamps of RIN, GIN and
BIN. During low input, the pedestal levels of RIN, GIN
and BIN are kept constant by charging an attached
capacitor.
(3) NT / PAL is the NTSC / PAL selector pin, and connects to V
CC when set to NTSC and to GND when set
to PAL.
(4) SCIN is for color subcarrier input. Set input to a
pulse wave or sine wave (3.579545MHz for NTSC and
4.433619MHz for PAL).
(5) COUT and YOUT are for output of chroma signals
and luminosity signals, respectively. Because the chroma signal and luminosity signals can be output separately, the IC can be adapted for S pins. Each has a
75Ω driver.
(6) VOUT is for color TV signal output, and has an
internal 75Ω driver.
(7) ROUT, GOUT and BOUT are for analog RGB signal output, and have an internal 75Ω driver.
The relationship between chroma phase and burst phase during PAL processing is as follows.

Operation notes
(1) Input impedance at the input terminals should be as
low as possible as the analog RGB signal is clamped
there.
(2) The color subcarrier should have a duty of 50%.
Duty fluctuation will affect chroma phase. Resistancesplitting input is used in the "Application example" to
accommodate 5V
P-P CMOS input. For other types of
input, adjust to 0.5V
P-P at SCIN.
(3) Composite synch and burst flag pulse inputs should
conform to their respective standards, as improper timing between them can prevent the TV from displaying
color images. For input, use the TTL level and an
impedance of 8kΩ.
