GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADV7184 integrated video decoder automatically detects
and converts a standard analog baseband television signal,
which is compatible with worldwide standards NTSC, PAL,
and SECAM, into 4:2:2 component video data-compatible
with 16-bit or 8-bit CCIR601/CCIR656.
The advanced and highly flexible digital output interface
enables performance video decoding and conversion in line-
locked clock-based systems. This makes the device ideally
suited for a broad range of applications with diverse analog video
characteristics, including tape-based sources, broadcast sources,
security and surveillance cameras, and professional systems.
The 10-bit accurate ADC provides professional quality video
performance and is unmatched. This allows true 8-bit
resolution in the 8-bit output mode.
The 12 analog input channels accept standard composite,
S-Video, and YPrPb video signals in an extensive number of
combinations.
AGC and clamp restore circuitry allow an input video signal
peak-to-peak range of 0.5 V to 1.6 V. Alternatively, these can be
bypassed for manual settings.
The fixed 54 MHz clocking of the ADCs and datapath for all
modes allows very precise, accurate sampling and digital
filtering. The line locked clock output allows the output data
rate, timing signals, and output clock signals to be synchronous,
asynchronous, or line locked even with ±5% line length
variation. The output control signals allow glueless interface
connections in almost any application. The ADV7184 modes
are set up over a 2-wire, serial, bidirectional port (I
2
C-
compatible).
SCART and overlay functionality are enabled by the ADV7184’s
ability to simultaneously process CVBS and standard definition
RGB signals. Signal mixing is controlled by the fast blank pin.
The ADV7184 is fabricated in a 3.3 V CMOS process. Its
monolithic CMOS construction ensures greater functionality
with lower power dissipation. The ADV7184 is packaged in a
small 80-lead LQFP Pb-free package.

ADV7184
INTRODUCTION
The ADV7184 is a high quality, single chip, multiformat video
decoder that automatically detects and converts PAL, NTSC,
and SECAM standards in the form of composite, S-Video, and
component video into a digital ITU-R BT.656 format.
The advanced and highly flexible digital output interface enables
performance video decoding and conversion in line-locked
clock-based systems. This makes the device ideally suited for a
broad range of applications with diverse analog video charac-
teristics, including tape-based sources, broadcast sources,
security and surveillance cameras, and professional systems.
STANDARD DEFINITION PROCESSOR (SDP)
The ADV7184 is capable of decoding a large selection of
baseband video signals in composite, S-Video, and component
formats. The video standards supported include PAL B/D/I/G/H,
PAL60, PAL M, PAL N, PAL Nc, NTSC M/J, NTSC 4.43, and
SECAM B/D/G/K/L. The ADV7184 can automatically detect
the video standard and process it accordingly.
The ADV7184 has a 5-line, superadaptive, 2D comb filter that
gives superior chrominance and luminance separation when
decoding a composite video signal. This highly adaptive filter
automatically adjusts its processing mode according to video
standard and signal quality without user intervention. Video
user controls such as brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue
are also available within the ADV7184.
The ADV7184 implements a patented adaptive digital line-
length tracking (ADLLT) algorithm to track varying video line
lengths from sources such as a VCR. ADLLT enables the
ADV7184 to track and decode poor quality video sources such
as VCRs, noisy sources from tuner outputs, VCD players, and
camcorders. The ADV7184 contains a chroma transient
improvement (CTI) processor that sharpens the edge rate of
chroma transitions, resulting in sharper vertical transitions.
The ADV7184 can process a variety of VBI data services, such
as closed captioning (CC), wide screen signaling (WSS), copy
generation management system (CGMS), Gemstar 1×/2×,
extended data service (XDS), and teletext. The ADV7184 is
fully Macrovision certified; detection circuitry enables Type I,
II, and III protection levels to be identified and reported to the
user. The decoder is also fully robust to all Macrovision signal
inputs.
ANALOG FRONT END
The ADV7184 analog front end includes four 10-bit ADCs
that digitize the analog video signal before applying it to the
standard definition processor. The analog front end uses
differential channels to each ADC to ensure high performance
in mixed-signal applications.
The front end also includes a 12-channel input mux that enables
multiple video signals to be applied to the ADV7184. Current
and voltage clamps are positioned in front of each ADC to
ensure that the video signal remains within the range of the
converter. Fine clamping of the video signals is performed
downstream by digital fine clamping within the ADV7184. The
ADCs are configured to run in 4× oversampling mode.
The ADV7184 has optional antialiasing filters on each of the
four input channels. The filters are designed for SD video with
approximately 6 MHz bandwidth.
SCART and overlay functionality are enabled by the ADV7184’s
ability to simultaneously process CVBS and Standard Definition
RGB signals. Signal mixing is controlled by the Fast Blank pin.
