ADV7173KSTZ-REEL

Overview

The ADV7173KSTZ-REEL is a digital PAL/NTSC video encoder manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It converts digital CCIR-601 4:2:2 YCrCb data into analog baseband television signals. The device features six 10-bit DACs, supporting composite, S-Video, and YUV outputs. It operates on a single 3.3 V or 5 V supply with power consumption ranging from 0.1 µA in sleep mode to 90 mA in normal mode. The component utilizes a 48-lead LQFP package and includes an I²C interface for control.

Feature Summary

• Integrates Super Sub-Alias Filter (SSAF) for high-resolution video playback
• Supports multiple video standards including NTSC-M, PAL-M/N, and PAL-B/D/G/H/I
• Features advanced power management with individual DAC on/off control
• Includes programmable color controls for hue, brightness, contrast, and saturation

Applications

• High performance DVD playback systems
• Portable video equipment such as digital still cameras
• Laptop PCs and PC video/multimedia applications
• Digital satellite/cable set-top boxes and IRD systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix KSTZ-REEL against current manufacturer documentation to confirm packaging type and availability status. Check for any recent product lifecycle changes or obsolescence notices directly from Analog Devices. Ensure compatibility with existing design specifications before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a digital-to-analog conversion for standard definition video is required. Consider the ADV7172 if Macrovision anti-copy functionality is needed, as it is functionally identical otherwise. Evaluate power requirements carefully, utilizing low-power modes if battery operation is critical for the target application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ADV7172/ADV7173 series of integrated digital video encoders. It is designed to replace older discrete encoding solutions by integrating multiple DACs and filters into a single chip. The REEL suffix indicates tape and reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

The ADV7172KSTZ-REEL is a functional substitute with added Macrovision support. Verify pinout compatibility and software register configurations when transitioning between these variants to ensure seamless integration without hardware modifications.
