10-Bit, Integrated, Multiformat SDTV/HDTV

Video Decoder and RGB Graphics Digitizer

ADV7181C
FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Four 10-bit ADCs sampling up to 110 MHz The ADV7181C is a high quality, single-chip, multiformat video
6 analog input channels decoder and graphics digitizer. This multiformat decoder supports
SCART fast blank support the conversion of PAL, NTSC, and SECAM standards in the
Internal antialias filters form of composite or S-Video into a digital ITU-R BT.656 format.
NTSC, PAL, and SECAM color standards support The ADV7181C also supports the decoding of a component
525p/625p component progressive scan support RGB/YPrPb video signal into a digital YCrCb or RGB pixel output
720p/1080i component HDTV support stream. The support for component video includes standards
Digitizes RGB graphics up to 1024 × 768 at 70 Hz (XGA) such as 525i, 625i, 525p, 625p, 720p, 1080i, and many other HD
3 × 3 color space conversion matrix and SMPTE standards. Graphics digitization is also supported by
Industrial temperature range: −40°C to +85°C the ADV7181C; it is capable of digitizing RGB graphics signals
12-bit 4:4:4 DDR, 8-/10-/16-/20-bit SDR pixel output interface from VGA to XGA rates and converting them into a digital
Programmable interrupt request output pin DDR RGB or YCrCb pixel output stream. SCART and overlay
Small package functionality are enabled by the ability of the ADV7181C to
Low pin count process simultaneously CVBS and standard definition RGB
Single front end for video and graphics signals. The mixing of these signals is controlled by the fast
VBI data slicer (including teletext) blank pin.
APPLICATIONS The ADV7181C contains two main processing sections. The
Automotive entertainment first section is the standard definition processor (SDP), which
HDTVs processes all PAL, NTSC, and SECAM signal types. The second
LCD/DLP projectors section is the component processor (CP), which processes YPrPb
HDTV STBs with PVR and RGB component formats, including RGB graphics.

The analog front-end section contains four high quality 10-bit Composite and S-Video processing features offer support for
ADCs, and the six analog input channel mux enables multisource NTSC M/J, NTSC 4.43, PAL B/D/I/G/H, PAL60, PAL M, PAL N,
connection without the requirement of an external mux. It also and SECAM (B, D, G, K, and L) standards in the form of CVBS
contains and S-Video as well as super-adaptive, 2D, 5-line comb filters
for NTSC and PAL give superior chrominance and luminance
• Four current and voltage clamp control loops to ensure
separation for composite video. They also include full automatic
that any dc offsets are removed from the video signal
detection and autoswitching of all worldwide standards (PAL,
• SCART functionality and SD RGB overlay on CVBS that
NTSC, and SECAM) and automatic gain control with white
