TDA8777
Triple 10-bit video DAC, up to 330 MHz sample frequency
Rev. 03 — 15 August 2005
Preliminary data sheet
1. General description
The TDA8777 consists of three separate 10-bit video Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs)
with complementary outputs. They convert the digital input signals into analog current
outputs at a maximum conversion rate of 330 MHz.
The DACs are based on current source architecture.
A sync pulse can be added to the green signal (sync-on-green) to allow devices driven by
the video DAC to be synchronized.
The TDA8777 has a Power-down mode to reduce power consumption during inactive
periods.
The TDA8777 is fabricated in a CMOS process that ensures high functionality with low
power dissipation.

8. Functional description
This triple 10-bit video DAC is designed to convert digital input signals into analog output
currents. All inputs (clock, data, blank and sync) must be TLL levels.
8.1 Voltage reference
The voltage reference input to pin VREF should be 1.21 V. For correct operation, a 100 nF
capacitor should be connected between pin VREF and pin V
