ADV7179KCP

Overview

The ADV7179KCP is a video encoder IC designed for NTSC and PAL standards. It converts digital CCIR-601 4:2:2 YCrCb data into analog baseband signals using three 10-bit DACs. The device operates on a single 2.8 V or 3.3 V supply within a 40-lead LFCSP package (6 mm × 6 mm). It supports multiple output formats including composite, S-video, and component video. Key specifications include an 80 dB video SNR, a 27 MHz clock requirement, and a 2-wire serial interface for configuration.

Feature Summary

• Supports ITU-R BT601/BT656 YCrCb to PAL/NTSC encoding with integrated SSAF technology
• Features advanced power management with normal, low power, and sleep modes
• Includes programmable luma and chroma filters for various resolution standards
• Provides closed captioning, teletext insertion, and copy generation management system support

Applications

• Portable video applications
• Mobile phones
• Digital still cameras

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm availability and exact pinout compatibility. Check for automotive qualification status if required by the application environment. Ensure proper ESD handling protocols are followed during storage and assembly due to the sensitivity of the CMOS components.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact footprint is required for mobile or portable devices. Verify that the input data stream matches the supported 8-bit parallel format. Confirm that the target display standard aligns with the supported NTSC M and PAL variants. Evaluate power consumption requirements against the available operating modes.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ADV7174/ADV7179 family of video encoders from Analog Devices Inc. The ADV7179 variant specifically excludes Macrovision anti-copy features found in the ADV7174. Both share identical functional blocks and pinouts, differing primarily in licensing capabilities for copy protection systems.

Replacement Considerations

The ADV7173 series offers similar encoding functions but utilizes different packaging and voltage requirements. Verify register compatibility and pin mapping before substitution. Consult official cross-reference lists for confirmed equivalent part numbers.
