THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADV7280/ADV7280-M are versatile one-chip, multiformat
video decoders. The ADV7280/ADV7280-M automatically detect
standard analog baseband video signals compatible with world-
wide NTSC, PAL, and SECAM standards in the form of composite,
S-Video, and component video.
The ADV7280 converts the analog video signals into an 8-bit
YCrCb 4:2:2 component video data stream that is compatible
with the ITU-R BT.656 interface standard.
The ADV7280-M converts the analog video signals into an 8-bit
YCrCb 4:2:2 video data stream that is output over a MIPI CSI-2
interface. The MIPI CSI-2 output interface connects to a wide
range of video processors and FPGAs.
The ADV7280/ADV7280-M accept composite video signals,
as well as S-Video and YPbPr video signals, supporting a wide
range of consumer and automotive video sources. The accurate
10-bit analog-to-digital conversion provides professional quality
video performance for consumer applications with true 8-bit
data resolution.
The advanced interlaced-to-progressive (I2P) function allows the
ADV7280/ADV7280-M to convert an interlaced video input into
a progressive video output. This function is performed without the
need for external memory. The ADV7280/ADV7280-M use edge
adaptive technology to minimize video defects on low angle lines.
The automatic gain control (AGC) and clamp restore circuitry
allows an input video signal peak-to-peak range of 0 V to 1.0 V
at the analog video input pins of the ADV7280/ADV7280-M.
Alternatively, the AGC and clamp restore circuitry can be bypassed
for manual settings.
The ADV7280/ADV7280-M support a number of other func-
tions, including 8-bit to 6-bit down dither mode and adaptive
contrast enhancement (ACE).
The ADV7280/ADV7280-M are programmed via a 2-wire,
serial bidirectional port (I
2
C compatible) and are fabricated in
a 1.8 V CMOS process. The monolithic CMOS construction
of the ADV7280/ADV7280-M ensures greater functionality with
lower power dissipation. The LFCSP package option makes these
decoders ideal for space-constrained portable applications.
ANALOG FRONT END (AFE)
The analog front end (AFE) of the ADV7280/ADV7280-M
comprises a single high speed, 10-bit ADC that digitizes the
analog video signal before applying it to the standard definition
processor (SDP).
The AFE also includes an input mux that enables multiple video
signals to be applied to the
ADV7280/ADV7280-M. The input
mux allows up to four composite video signals to be applied to
the ADV7280 and up to eight composite video signals to be applied
to the ADV7280-M.
Current clamps are positioned in front of the ADC to ensure
that the video signal remains within the range of the converter.
A resistor divider network is required before each analog input
channel to ensure that the input signal is kept within the range of
the ADC (see the Input Network section). Fine clamping of the
video signal is performed downstream by digital fine clamping
within the ADV7280/ADV7280-M.
Table 11 lists the three ADC clock rates that are determined by
the video input format to be processed. These clock rates ensure
4× oversampling per channel for CVBS, Y/C, and YPrPb modes.
