I
WEB
Write enable input for the internal registers. When the chip is selected (CSB = 0), 
external data is latched into the registers with the rising edge of WEB.
23
I
CSB
Chip select for the device. CSB = 0 selects the device.
24, 25
OD
XCLKI, 
XCLKO
Crystal oscillator in/out pins. Nominal clock frequency is 14.31MHz for CCIR 50 Hz 
timing. The maximum pixel rate is limited to one half of the clock frequency. To 
connect an external clock to XCLKI, leave XCLKO open.
26
OD
HREF
Horizontal timing reference output. Asserted high during every valid line for the 
duration of the valid window width. The window sizing function affects the number 
of valid lines in a frame as well as the number of valid pixels in a line. HREF and 
status(1), are identical valid pixel timing information.
27
OD
PCLK
Pixel clock output. Defaulted to be a continuous clock. Can be programmed via the 
internal register to be on during the valid pixel window only. Video data at output 
bus (D0-D7) is updated with the rising edge of PCLK and is guaranteed to be valid 
at the falling edge of PCLK.
28
OD
VSYNC
Vertical timing reference output. It is high once per frame for the duration of the 
vertical sync period. VSYNC and status (2) are identical vertical sync timing 
information.
29
Bias
DVDD
Digital power (+5V) connection.
30
Bias
DGND
Digital ground. Connect to supply common
31
Bias
OGND
Digital output ground. Connect to supply common
32-39
OD
D0-D7
Bi-directional data bus for video output data and internal register read/write 
operations.
40
Bias
OVDD
Digital output power (+5V/+3.3V) connection.
41
Bias
ZVDD
Analog power (+5V) connection.
42
Bias
VR2
Internal reference voltage. Requires a 0.1uF external capacitor to AGND.
43
Bias
ZGND
Analog ground. Connect to supply common.
44
Bias
DEGND
Decoder ground. Connect to supply common.
45
Bias
DEVDD
Decoder power (+5V) connection.
47
Bias
VVDD
Video output power (+5V) connection.
48
Q
AVO
Composite video output. It is capable of driving 150 
 
load, Vp-p is 2.0 V.
