Analog Devices Inc. ADV739x SD/HD Video Encoders

Analog Devices ADV739x SD/HD Video Encoders are high-speed, digital-to-analog (DAC) video encoders on single monolithic chips. These ADV739x video encoders support embedded EAV/SAV timing codes, external video synchronization signals, and the I²C® and communication protocol. Three 2.7V/3.3V, 10-bit video DACs support for composite (CVBS), S-Video (Y-C), or component (YPrPb/RGB) analog outputs in standard definition (SD) or high definition (HD) video formats. These encoders are optimized for low-power operation, occupy a minimal footprint, and require few external components, making them ideal for portable and power-sensitive applications requiring TV-out functionality.
