X98017L128-3.3-Z

Overview

The X98017L128-3.3-Z is a triple-channel, 8-bit Analog Front End (AFE) designed to digitize analog RGB or YUV graphics signals from personal computers, workstations, and video set-top boxes. It features a maximum conversion rate of 170MSPS per channel, supporting resolutions up to UXGA at 60Hz refresh rates. The device includes an integrated digital PLL that generates pixel clocks ranging from 10MHz to 170MHz with low jitter. It operates on a single 3.3V supply and utilizes a 128-pin MQFP package.

Feature Summary

• Features fully differential analog design for high PSRR and dynamic performance
• Includes Automatic Black Level Compensation (ABLC) to eliminate offset variation
• Integrates a digital PLL for generating pixel clocks from HSYNC or SOG signals
• Provides programmable input bandwidth and independent gain/offset control

Applications

• LCD Monitors and Projectors
• Digital TVs
• Plasma Display Panels
• RGB Graphics Processing
• Scan Converters

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as the part is marked as discontinued by the manufacturer. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for available replacement alternatives such as the ISL98001-170 before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-speed digitization of analog video signals. Ensure compatibility with 3.3V logic levels and verify that the 128-pin MQFP package fits the PCB layout constraints. Consider thermal management requirements due to typical power dissipation at maximum conversion rates.

Part Context
