FN6760.0
8-Bit Video Analog Front End (AFE) with
Measurement and Auto-Adjust Features
Features
• 8-Bit Triple Analog-to-Digital Converters with
Oversampling Up to 8x in Video Modes
The ISL98003 3-channel, 8-bit Analog Front End (AFE)
contains all the functionality needed to digitize analog YPbPr
video from HDTV tuners, set-top boxes, SD and HD DVDs,
as well as RGB graphics signals from personal computers
and workstations. The fourth generation analog design
delivers 8-bit performance and a 165MSPS maximum
conversion rate supporting resolutions up to UXGA at 60Hz.
The front end's programmable input bandwidth ensures
sharp, low noise images at all resolutions.
• Fast Automatic Selection of Best Sampling Phase
• 165MSPS Maximum Conversion Rate
(ISL98003CNZ-165)
• Robust, Glitchless Macrovision™-Compliant Sync
Separator
• Analog VCR “Trick Mode” Support
• ABLC for Perfect Black Level Performance
• 2-Channel Input Multiplexer
To accelerate and simplify mode detection, the ISL98003
integrates a sophisticated set of measurement tools that fully
characterizes the video signal and timing, offloading the host
microcontroller. Automatic Black Level Compensation
(ABLC™) eliminates part-to-part offset variation, ensuring
perfect black level performance in every application.
• Precision Sync Timing Measurement
• RGB to YUV Color Space Converter
• Low PLL Clock Jitter (250ps Peak-to-Peak)
• Programmable Input Bandwidth (10MHz to 450MHz)
• 64 Interpixel Sampling Positions
The ISL98003's Digital PLL generates a pixel clock from the
analog source's HSYNC or SOG (Sync-On-Green) signals.
Pixel clock output frequencies range from 10MHz to 165MHz
with sampling clock jitter of 250ps peak-to-peak.
• ±6dB Gain Adjustment Range
• Pb-Free (RoHS compliant)
