ADV7120KN30

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The ADV7120KN30 is a triple 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed for high-resolution color graphics and video systems. It features an 80 MHz pipelined architecture with three independent RGB channels, each providing high-impedance analog output current sources. The device operates on a single +5 V CMOS supply and includes a standard TTL-compatible input interface. Its monolithic construction supports applications requiring low-cost, high-speed DACs, such as image processing, instrumentation, and direct digital synthesis.
