1
TTL input values are 0 to 3 volts, with input rise/fall times ≤ 3 ns, measured between the 10% and 90% points. Timing reference points at 50% for inputs and
outputs. Analog output load ≤ 10 pF, D0-D7 output load ≤ 50 pF. See timing notes in Figure 2.

VAA = 5 V ± 5%.
3
Temperature range (T MIN to TMAX); 0°C to +70°C; TJ (Silicon Junction Temperature) ≤ 100°C .
4
t3 and t4 are measured with the load circuit of Figure 3 and defined as the time required for an output to cross 0.4 V or 2.4 V.
5
t5 and t6 are derived from the measured time taken by the data outputs to change by 0.5 V when loaded with the circuit of Figure 3. The measured number is
then extrapolated back to remove the effects of charging the 50 pF capacitor. This means that the times, t 5 and t6, quoted in the timing characteristics are the
true values for the device and, as such, are independent of external bus loading capacitances.
6
Settling time does not include clock and data feedthrough.

All devices are packaged in a 68-pin plastic leaded (J-lead) chip carrier.
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the ADV473 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
WARNING!
ESD SENSITIVE DEVICE
(Continued from page 1)
The device consists of three, high speed, 8-bit, video D/A converters (RGB), a 256 3 24 RAM which can be configured as a
look-up table or a linearization RAM, a 24-bit wide parallel
pixel input port and three 15 3 8 overlay registers. The part is
controlled through the MPU port by the various on-board control/command registers.
The ADV473 is capable of generating RGB video output signals, without requiring external buffering, and which are compatible with RS-343A and RS-170 video standards. All digital
inputs and outputs are TTL compatible.
The individual red, green and blue pixel input ports allow truecolor, image rendition. True-color image rendition, at speeds of
up to 135 MHz, is achieved through the 24-bit pixel input port.
The ADV473 is also capable of implementing 8-bit true color,
8-bit pseudo color and 15-bit true color.
The part is packaged in a 68-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier
(PLCC).
The part can be driven by the on-board voltage reference or an
external voltage reference.

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
BLANK
Composite Blank Control Input (TTL Compatible). A logic zero drives the analog outputs to the blanking level.
It is latched on the rising edge of CLOCK. When BLANK is a logical zero, the pixel and overlay inputs are
ignored.
SYNC
Composite SYNC Control Input (TTL Compatible). A logical zero on this input switches off a 40 IRE current
source on the analog outputs. SYNC does not override any other control or data input; therefore, it should be
asserted only during the blanking interval. It is latched on the rising edge of CLOCK. If sync information is not
required on the analog outputs, SYNC should be connected to ground.
CLOCK
Clock Input (TTL Compatible). The rising edge of CLOCK latches the R0–R7, G0–G7, B0–B7, S0, S1,
OL0–OL3, SYNC, and BLANK inputs. It is typically the pixel clock rate of the video system. It is
recommended that CLOCK be driven by a dedicated TTL buffer.
R0–R7
B0–B7
G0–G7
Red, Green and Blue Select Inputs (TTL Compatible). These inputs specify, on a pixel basis, the color value to
be written to the DACs. They are latched on the rising edge of CLOCK. R0, G0 and B0 are the LSBs. Unused
inputs should be connected to GND.
S0, S1
Color Mode Select Inputs (TTL Compatible). These inputs specify the mode of operation as shown in Table III.
They are latched on the rising edge of CLOCK.
OL0–OL3
Overlay Select Inputs (TTL Compatible). These inputs specify which palette is to be used to provide color
information. When accessing the overlay palette, the R0–R7, G0–G7, B0–B7, S0 and S1 inputs are ignored. They
are latched on the rising edge of CLOCK. OL0 is the LSB. Unused inputs should be connected to GND.
IOR, IOG, IOB
Red, Green, and Blue Current Outputs. These high impedance current sources are capable of directly driving a
doubly terminated 75 Ω coaxial cable.
RSET
Full-Scale Adjust Resistor. A resistor (R SET) connected between this pin and GND controls the magnitude of the
full-scale video signal. The relationship between R SET and the full-scale output current on each output is:
RSET (Ω) = 3,195 × VREF (V)/IOUT (mA) SETUP = 7.5 IRE)
RSET (Ω) = 3,025 × VREF (V)/IOUT (mA) SETUP = 0 IRE)
COMP
Compensation Pin. These pins should be connected together at the chip and connected through 0.1 µF ceramic
capacitor to VAA.
VREFIN
Voltage Reference Input. This input requires a 1.2 V reference voltage. This is achieved through the on-board
voltage reference generator by connecting V REFOUT to VREFIN. If an external reference is used, it must supply
this input with a 1.2 V (typical) reference.
VREFOUT
Voltage Reference Output. This output delivers a 1.2 V reference voltage from the device’s on-board voltage
reference generator. It is normally connected directly to the V REFIN pin. If it is preferred to use an external
voltage reference, this pin may be left floating. Up to four ADV473s can be driven from V REFOUT.
VAA
Analog power. All VAA pins must be connected.
GND
Analog Ground. All GND pins must be connected.
WR
Write Control Input (TTL Compatible). D0–D7 data is latched on the rising edge of WR, and RS0–RS2 are
latched on the falling edge of WR during MPU write operations. RD and WR should not be asserted
simultaneously.
RD
Read Control Input (TTL Compatible). To read data from the device, RD must be a logical zero. RS0–RS2 are
latched on the falling edge of RD during MPU read operations. RD and WR should not be asserted
simultaneously.
RS0, RS1, RS2
Register Select Inputs (TTL Compatible). RS0–RS2 specify the type of read or write operation being performed.
D0–D7
Data Bus (TTL Compatible). Data is transferred into and out of the device over this eight-bit bidirectional data
bus. D0 is the least significant bit.
CR0–CR7
Control Outputs (TTL Compatible). These outputs are used to control application specific features. The output
values are determined by the contents of the command register (CR).

TERMINOLOGY
BLANKING LEVEL
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
MPU Interface
The level separating the SYNC portion from the video portion
of the waveform. Usually referred to as the front porch or back
porch. At 0 IRE units, it is the level which will shut off the picture tube, resulting in the blackest possible picture.
The ADV473 supports a standard MPU bus interface, allowing
the MPU direct access to the color palette RAM and overlay
color registers.
Three address decode lines, RS0–RS2, specify whether the
MPU is accessing the address register, the color palette RAM,
the overlay registers, or read mask register. These controls also
determine whether this access is a read or write function. Table
I illustrates this decoding. The 8-bit address register is used to
address the contents of the color palette RAM and overlay
registers.
COLOR VIDEO (RGB)
This usually refers to the technique of combining the three primary colors of red, green and blue to produce color pictures
within the usual spectrum. In RGB monitors, three DACs are
required, one for each color.
COMPOSITE SYNC SIGNAL (SYNC)
The position of the composite video signal which synchronizes
the scanning process.
Table I. Control Input Truth Table
COMPOSITE VIDEO SIGNAL
The video signal with or without setup, plus the composite
SYNC signal.
GRAY SCALE
The discrete levels of video signal between reference black and
reference white levels. An 8-bit DAC contains 256 different levels while a 6-bit DAC contains 64.

The most basic method of sweeping a CRT one line at a time to
generate and to display images.

Color Palette Writes
The MPU writes to the address register (selecting RAM write
mode, RS2 = 0, RS1 = 0 and RS0 = 0) with the address of the
color palette RAM location to be modified. The MPU performs
three successive write cycles (8 or 6 bits each of red, green, and
blue), using RS0–RS2 to select the color palette RAM (RS2 =
0, RS1 = 0, RS0 = 1). After the BLUE write cycle, the three
bytes of color information are concatenated into a 24-bit word
or an 18-bit word and written to the location specified by the
address register. The address register then increments to the
next location which the MPU may modify by simply writing another sequence of red, green, and blue data. A complete set of
colors can be loaded into the palette by initially writing the start
address and then performing a sequence of RED, GREEN and
BLUE writes. The address automatically increments to the next
highest location after a BLUE write.
REFERENCE BLACK LEVEL
The maximum negative polarity amplitude of the video signal.
REFERENCE WHITE LEVEL
The maximum positive polarity amplitude of the video signal.
SETUP
The difference between the reference black level and the blanking level.
SYNC LEVEL
The peak level of the composite SYNC signal.
VIDEO SIGNAL
That portion of the composite video signal which varies in gray
scale levels between reference white and reference black. Also
referred to as the picture signal, this is the portion which may be
visually observed.
Color Palette Reads
The MPU writes to the address register (selecting RAM read
mode, RS2 = 0, RS1 = 1 and RS0 = 1) with the address of the
color palette RAM location to be read back. The contents of the
palette RAM are copied to the RED, GREEN and BLUE registers and the address register increments to point to the next palette RAM location. The MPU then performs three successive
read cycles (8 or 6 bits each of red, green, and blue), using
RS0–RS2 to select the color palette RAM (RS2 = 0, RS1 = 0,
RS0 = 1). After the BLUE read cycle, the 24/18 bit contents of
the palette RAM at the location specified by the address register
is loaded into the RED, GREEN and BLUE registers. The address register then increments to the next location which the
MPU can read back by simply reading another sequence of red,
green, and blue data. A complete set of colors can be read back
from the palette by initially writing the start address and then
performing a sequence of RED, GREEN and BLUE reads. The
address automatically increments to the next highest location
after a BLUE read.

Overlay Color Writes
The MPU writes to the address register (selecting OVERLAY
REGISTER write mode, RS2 = 1, RS1 = 0 and RS0 = 0) with
the address of the overlay register to be modified. The MPU
performs three successive write cycles (8 or 6 bits each of red,
green, and blue), using RS0–RS2 to select the Overlay Registers
(RS2 = 1, RS1 = 0, RS0 = 1). After the BLUE write cycle, the
three bytes of color information are concatenated into a 24-bit
word or an 18-bit word and are written to the overlay register
specified by the address register. The address register then increments to the next overlay register which the MPU may
modify by simply writing another sequence of red, green, and
blue data. A complete set of colors can be loaded into the overlay registers by initially writing the start address and then performing a sequence of RED, GREEN and BLUE writes. The
address automatically increments to the next highest location
after a BLUE write.
Overlay Color Reads
The MPU writes to the address register (selecting OVERLAY
REGISTER read mode, RS2 = 1, RS1 = 1 and RS0 = 1) with
the address of the overlay register to be read back. The contents
of the overlay register are copied to the RED, GREEN and
BLUE registers and the address register increments to point to
the next highest overlay register. The MPU then performs three
successive read cycles (8 or 6 bits each of red, green, and blue),
using RS0 – RS2 to select the Overlay Registers (RS2 = 1, RS1
= 0, RS0 = 1). After the BLUE read cycle, the 24/18 bit contents of the overlay register at the specified address register location is loaded into the RED, GREEN and BLUE registers. The
address register then increments to the next overlay register
which the MPU can read back by simply reading another sequence of red, green, and blue data. A complete set of colors
can be read back from the overlay registers by initially writing
the start address and then performing a sequence of RED,
GREEN and BLUE reads. The address automatically
incremeets to the next highest location after a BLUE read.
Internal Address Register (ADDR)
However, while accessing the overlay color registers, the four
most significant bits (since there are only 15 overlay registers) of
the address register (ADDR4–7) are ignored.
To keep track of the red, green, and blue read/write cycles, the
address register has two additional bits (ADDRa, ADDRb) that
count modulo three, as shown in Table II. They are reset to
zero when the MPU writes to the address register, and are not
reset to zero when the MPU reads the address register. The
MPU does not have access to these bits. The other eight bits of
the address register, incremented following a blue read or write
cycle, (ADDR0-7) are accessible to the MPU, and are used to
address color palette RAM locations and overlay registers, as
shown in Table II. ADDR0 is the LSB when the MPU is accessing the RAM or overlay registers. The MPU may read the address register at any time without modifying its contents or the
existing read/write mode.
Synchronization
The MPU interface operates asynchronously to the pixel port.
Data transfers between the color palette RAM/overlay registers
and the color registers (R, G, and B as shown in the block diagram) are synchronized by internal logic, and occur in the period between MPU accesses. The MPU can be accessed at any
time, even when the pixel CLOCK is stopped.
8-Bit/6-Bit Color Operation
The Command Register on the ADV473 specifies whether the
MPU is reading/writing 8 bits or 6 bits of color information
each cycle.
For 8-bit operation, D0 is the LSB and D7 is the MSB.
For 6-bit operation, color data is contained on the lower six bits
of the data bus, with D0 being the LSB and D5 the MSB of
color data. When writing color data, D6 and D7 are ignored.
During color read cycles, D6 and D7 will be a logical “0.” It
should be noted that when the ADV473 is in 6-bit mode, fullscale output current will be reduced by approximately 1.5%
relative to the 8-bit mode. This is the case since the 2 LSBs of
each of the three DACs are always set to zero in 6-bit mode.
When accessing the color palette RAM, the address register
resets to 00H following a blue read or write cycle to RAM location FFH. When accessing the overlay color registers, the
address register increments following a blue read or write cycle.

ADV473
Command Register (CR)
Color Modes
The ADV473 has an internal command register (CR). This register is 8 bits wide, CR0–CR7 and is directly mapped to the
MPU data bus on the part, D0–D7. The command register can
be written to or read from. It is not initialized, therefore it must
be set. Figure 4 shows what each bit of the CR register controls
and shows the values it must be programmed to for various
modes of operation.
The ADV473 supports four color modes, 24-bit true-color,
15-bit true-color, 8-bit true-color and 8-bit pseudo-color. The
mode of operation is determined by the S0 and S1 inputs, in
conjunction with CR7 and CR6 of the command register. S0
and S1 are pipelined to maintain synchronization with the video
data. Table III illustrates the modes of operation.

VIDEO MODES
24-Bit True-Color Mode
15-Bit True-Color Bypass Mode
Twenty-four bits of RGB color information may be input into
the ADV473 every clock cycle. The 24 bits of pixel information
are input via the R0–R7, G0–G7, and B0–B7 inputs. R0–R7 address the red color palette RAM, G0–G7 address the green
color palette RAM, and B0–B7 address the blue color palette
RAM. Each RAM provides 8 bits of color information to the
corresponding D/A converter. The pixel read mask register is
used in this mode.
Fifteen bits of pixel information may be input into the ADV473
every clock cycle. The 15 bits of pixel information (5 bits of red,
5 bits of green, and 5 bits of blue) are input via the R0–R7 and
G0–G7 inputs.

the red DAC directly, G0–G7 drive the green DAC directly,
and B0–B7 drive the blue DAC directly. The color palette
RAMs and pixel read mask register are bypassed.
8-Bit Pseudo-Color Mode
Eight bits of pixel information may be input into the ADV473
every clock cycle. The 8 bits of pixel information (P0–P7) are
input via the R0–R7, G0–G7 or B0–B7 inputs, as specified by
CR7 and CR6. All three color palette RAMs are addressed by
the same 8 bits of pixel data (P0–P7). Each RAM provides 8
bits of color information to the corresponding D/A converter.
The pixel read mask register is used in this mode.

As seen in the table, 3 bits of red, 3 bits of green, and 2 bits of
blue data are input. The 3 MSBs of the red and green DACs are
driven directly by the inputs, while the 2 MSBs of the blue DAC
are driven directly. The 5 LSBs for the red and green DACs,
and the 6 LSBs for the blue DAC, are a logical zero. The color
palette RAMs and pixel read mask register are bypassed.
REV. A
Fifteen bits of pixel information may be input into the ADV473
every clock cycle. The 15 bits of pixel information are input to
the device via R0–R7 and G0–G7 according to Table V. This
input data points to the top 32 locations of the color palette
RAM, i.e., locations 223 to 255. The 15-bit pixel input data indexes a 24-bit red, green and blue value which is clocked to the
three DACs.
Overlays
The overlay inputs, OL0–OL3, have priority regardless of the
color mode as shown in Table III.
Pixel Read Mask Register
The 8-bit pixel read mask register is implemented as three 8-bit
pixel read mask registers, one each for the R0–R7, G0–G7, and
B0–B7 inputs. When writing to the pixel read mask register, the
same data is written to all three registers. The read mask registers are located just before the color palette RAMs. Thus, they
are used only in the 24-bit true-color and 8-bit pseudo-color
modes since these are the only modes that use the color palette
RAMs.
The contents of the pixel read mask register, which may be
accessed by the MPU at any time, are bit-wise logically ANDed
with the 8-bit inputs prior to addressing the color palette RAMs.
Bit D0 of the pixel read mask register corresponds to pixel input
P0 (R0, G0, or B0 depending on the mode). Bit D0 also corresponds to data bus Bit D0.

PC BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Digital Signal Interconnect
The layout should be optimized for lowest noise on the ADV473
power and ground lines by shielding the digital inputs and providing good decoupling. The lead length between groups of VAA
and GND pins should be minimized so as to minimize inductive
ringing.
The digital inputs to the ADV473 should be isolated as much as
possible from the analog outputs and other analog circuitry.
Also, these input signals should not overlay the analog power
plane.
Ground Planes
The ground plane should encompass all ADV473 ground pins,
current/voltage reference circuitry, power supply bypass circuitry
for the ADV473, the analog output traces, and all the digital signal traces leading up to the ADV473.
Due to the high clock rates involved, long clock lines to the
ADV473 should be avoided to reduce noise pickup.
Any active termination resistors for the digital inputs should be
connected to the regular PCB power plane (VCC), and not to the
analog power plane.
Power Planes
The ADV473 and any associated analog circuitry should have its
own power plane, referred to as the analog power plane. This
power plane should be connected to the regular PCB power
plane (VCC) at a single point through a ferrite bead, as illustrated
in Figures 7 and 8. This bead should be located within three
inches of the ADV473.

Plane-to-plane noise coupling can be reduced by ensuring that

overlay portions of the analog power plane, unless they can be
arranged such that the plane-to-plane noise is common mode.

Supply Decoupling

For optimum performance, bypass capacitors should be installed
using the shortest leads possible, consistent with reliable operation, to reduce the lead inductance. Best performance is obtained with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor decoupling each of the
two groups of VAA pins to GND. These capacitors should be
placed as close as possible to the device.
It is important to note that while the ADV473 contains circuitry
to reject power supply noise, this rejection decreases with frequency. If a high frequency switching power supply is used, the
designer should pay close attention to reducing power supply
noise and should consider using a three-terminal voltage regulator for supplying power to the analog power plane.

Package Thermal Considerations
The ADV473 should be located as close as possible to the output connectors to minimize noise pickup and reflections due to
impedance mismatch.
In certain circumstances, the 135 MHz version of the ADV473
may require forced air cooling or the addition of a heatsink. The
68-pin PLCC has a heat resistance characteristic as shown in
Table VIII.
The video output signals should overlay the ground plane, and
not the analog power plane, to maximize the high frequency
power supply rejection.
For maximum performance, the analog outputs should each
have a 75 Ω load resistor connected to GND. The connection
between the current output and GND should be as close as possible to the ADV473 to minimize reflections.
