PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD725 is a very low cost general purpose RGB to NTSC/
PAL encoder that converts red, green and blue color compo-
nent signals into their corresponding luminance (baseband
amplitude) and chrominance (subcarrier amplitude and phase)
signals in accordance with either NTSC or PAL standards.
These two outputs are also combined on-chip to provide a
composite video output. All three outputs are available sepa-
rately at voltages of twice the standard signal levels as re-
quired for driving 75 Ω, reverse-terminated cables.
The AD725 features a luminance trap (YTRAP) pin that pro-
vides a means of reducing cross color generated by subcarrier
frequency components found in the luminance signal. For por-
table or other power-sensitive applications, the device can be
powered down to less than 1 µA of current consumption. All
logic levels are TTL compatible thus supporting the logic re-
quirements of 3 V CMOS systems.
The AD725 is packaged in a low cost 16-lead SOIC and oper-
ates from a +5 V supply.
