GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADV7120 (ADV ) is a digital to analog video converter on
a single monolithic chip. The part is specifically designed for
high resolution color graphics and video systems. It is also ideal
for any high speed communications type applications requiring
low cost, high speed DACs. It consists of three, high speed,
8-bit, video D/A converters (RGB); a standard TTL input inter-
face and high impedance, analog output, current sources.
The ADV7120 has three separate, 8-bit, pixel input ports, one
each for red, green and blue video data. Additional video input
controls on the part include composite sync, blank and refer-
ence white. A single +5 V supply, an external 1.23 V reference
and pixel clock input are all that are required to make the part
operational.
The ADV7120 is capable of generating RGB video output sig-
nals, which are compatible with RS-343A and RS-170 video
standards, without requiring external buffering.
The ADV7120 is fabricated in a +5 V CMOS process. Its
monolithic CMOS construction ensures greater functionality
with low power dissipation. The part is packaged in both a 0.6",
40-pin plastic DIP and a 44-pin plastic leaded (J-lead) chip car-
rier, PLCC. The ADV7120 is also available in a very small 48-
lead Thin Quad Flatpack (TQFP).
ADV is a registered trademark of Analog Devices, Inc.
*Speed grades up to 140 MHz are also available upon special request.
Please contact Analog Devices or its representatives for further details.

NOTES
1
Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause
permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those listed in the
operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Analog Output Short Circuit to any Power Supply or Common can be of an
indefinite duration.

N = Plastic DIP; P = Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier.
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the ADV7120 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
