a2.7 V to 5.5 V RGB-to-NTSC/PAL Encoder with
Load Detect and Input Termination Switch
AD723
FEATURES
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.
Low Cost, Fully Integrated Solution for NTSC/PAL
Composite and Y/C (S-Video) Outputs
Current Output Drives 75 ⍀ Loads
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.
DC-Coupled: Supports TV Load Detect
No Large AC-Coupling Capacitors at Output
Self-Power-Down of Unloaded Output Drivers
Triple Switch to Enable RGB Termination
Integrated Delay Line and Auto-Tuned Filters
Y-Trap to Eliminate Cross Color Artifacts
3 V Supply Operation: Low Power
< 100 mW: Composite Active (Typical)
< 150 mW: S-Video Active (Typical)
<1 A: Power-Down Current
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.
APPLICATIONS
TV Out for Personal Computers/Laptops
Digital Cameras
Set-Top Boxes
Video Games
Internet Appliances
An optional luminance trap (YTRAP) provides a means of
reducing cross color artifacts due to subcarrier frequency infor-
mation in the Y signal.
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,
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.
