PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
RGB to NTSC/PAL Encoder
AD724
operates from a single +5 V supply. No external delay lines or
filters are required. The AD724 may be powered down when
not in use.
The AD724 accepts either FSC or 4FSC clock. When a clock is
not available, a low cost parallel-resonant crystal (3.58 MHz
(NTSC) or 4.43 MHz (PAL)) and the AD724’s on-chip oscilla-
tor generate the necessary subcarrier clock. The AD724 also
accepts the subcarrier clock from an external video source.
The interface to graphics controllers is simple: an on-chip logic
“XNOR” accepts the available vertical (VSYNC) and horizon-
tal sync (HSYNC) signals and creates the composite sync
(CSYNC) signal on-chip. If available, the AD724 will also
accept a standard CSYNC signal by connecting VSYNC to
Logic HI and applying CSYNC to the HSYNC pin. The
AD724 contains decoding logic to identify valid horizontal sync
pulses for correct burst insertion.
Delays in the U and V chroma filters are matched by an on-chip
sampled-data delay line in the Y signal path. To prevent alias-
ing, a prefilter at 5 MHz is included ahead of the delay line and
a post-filter at 5 MHz is added after the delay line to suppress
harmonics in the output. These low-pass filters are optimized
for minimum pulse overshoot. The overall luma delay, relative
to chroma, has been designed to be time aligned for direct input to
a television’s baseband. The AD724 comes in a space-saving
SOIC and is specified for the 0°C to +70°C commercial tem-
perature range.
The AD724 is a low cost RGB to NTSC/PAL Encoder that
converts red, green and blue color component signals into their
corresponding luminance (baseband amplitude) and chromi-
nance (subcarrier amplitude and phase) signals in accordance
with either NTSC or PAL standards. These two outputs are also
combined to provide composite video output. All three outputs can
simultaneously drive 75
Ω,
reverse-terminated cables. All logi-
cal inputs are TTL, 3 V and 5 V CMOS compatible. The chip
