Bt827A–

Composite Video and S-Video Decoder

The Bt829A and Bt827A VideoStream™ Decoders are a family of single-chip, pin-
and register-compatible, composite NTSC/PAL/SECAM video and S-Video decod-
ers. They are also pin and register backward compatible with the Bt829/827 family
of products. Low operating power consumption and power-down capability make
them ideal low-cost solutions for PC video capture applications on both desktop and
portable system platforms. They support square pixel and CCIR601 resolutions for
NTSC, PAL and SECAM video. They have a flexible pixel port which supports a
variety of system interface configurations, and they are offered in 100-pin PQFP and
100-pin TQFP packages.
