DIGIT AL-T O-ANALOG CONVE RT E RS
(DACS) AND VIDE O OUT PUT S
T he ADV7150 contains three high speed video DACs. T he
DAC outputs are represented as the three primary analog color
signals IOR (red video), IOG (green video) and IOB (blue video).
Other analog signals on the part include I
PLL
and V
REF
as well as
complementary video outputs
IOR
,
IOG
,
IOB
. T hese comple-
mentary outputs can be used to drive differentially terminated
video loads, they will have equal but opposite output levels to
IOR, IOG and IOB when loaded with a resistive load similar to
IOR, IOG and IOB.
DACs and Analog Outputs
T he part contains three matched 10-bit digital-to-analog con-
verters. T he DACs are designed using an advanced, high speed,
segmented architecture. T he bit currents corresponding to each
digital input are routed to either IOR, IOG, IOB (bit = “l(fā)”) or
IOR
,
IOG
,
IOB
(bit = “0”). (Normally
IOR
,
IOG
,
IOB
= GND.)
T he analog video outputs are high impedance current sources.
Each of the these three RGB current outputs are specified to
directly drive a 37.5
load (doubly terminated 75
).

Reference Input and R
SE T
An external 1.23 V voltage reference is required to drive the
analog outputs of the ADV7150. T he reference voltage is con-
nected to the V
REF
input.
A resistor R
SET
is connected between the R
SET
input of the part
and ground. For specified performance, R
SET
has a value of
280
. T his corresponds to the generation of RS-343A video
levels (with
SYNC
on IOG and Pedestal = 7.5 IRE) into a dou-
bly terminated 75
load. Figure 30 illustrates the resulting
video waveform, and the Video Output T ruth T able shows the
corresponding control input stimuli.

Variations on RS-343A
Various other video output configurations can be implemented
by the ADV7150, including RS-170. Values of R
SET
for particu-
lar output video formats/levels are calculated by using the equa-
tions for R
SET
given in the “Pin Configuration” section. T he
table shows calculated values of R
SET
for some of the most com-
mon variants on the RS-343A standard. T he associated wave-
forms are shown in the diagrams.
