GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADV7181B integrated video decoder automatically detects
and converts a standard analog baseband television signal
compatible with worldwide standards NTSC, PAL, and SECAM
into 4:2:2 component video data compatible with 16-bit/8-bit
CCIR601/CCIR656.
The advanced, 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/surveillance cameras, and professional systems.

The six 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 ADV7181B modes
are set up over a 2-wire, serial, bidirectional port (I
2
C-compatible).
The ADV7181B is fabricated in a 3.3 V CMOS process. Its
monolithic CMOS construction ensures greater functionality
with lower power dissipation.
The ADV7181B is available in two packages, a small 64-lead
LQFP Pb-free package and a 64-lead LFCSP package.

ADV7181B
INTRODUCTION
The ADV7181B 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/surveillance cameras, and professional systems.
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
ADV7181B can automatically detect the video standard and
process it accordingly.
The ADV7181B 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
standards and signal quality with no user intervention required.
Video user controls, such as brightness, contrast, saturation,
and hue, are also available within the ADV7181B.
The ADV7181B implements a patented ADLLT algorithm to
track varying video line lengths from sources such as a VCR.
ADLLT enables the ADV7181B to track and decode poor
quality video sources such as VCRs, noisy sources from tuner
outputs, VCD players, and camcorders. The ADV7181B
contains a chroma transient improvement (CTI) processor that
sharpens the edge rate of chroma transitions, resulting in
sharper vertical transitions.
The ADV7181B can process a variety of VBI data services such
as close captioning (CC), wide screen signaling (WSS), copy
generation management system (CGMS), EDTV, Gemstar
1×/2×, and extended data service (XDS). The ADV7181B is
fully Macrovision certified; detection circuitry enables Type I,
Type II, and Type 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 ADV7181B analog front end comprises three 9-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 6-channel input mux that enables
multiple video signals to be applied to the ADV7181B. Current
and voltage clamps are positioned in front of each ADC to
ensure 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 ADV7181B.
The ADCs are configured to run in 4× oversampling mode.
STANDARD DEFINITION PROCESSOR
The ADV7181B is capable of decoding a large selection of
baseband video signals in composite, S-Video, and component
formats. The video standards supported by the ADV7181B
