GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADV7120 (ADV) is a digital to analog video converter on
a single monolithic chip. The part is specifically designed for
high resolution color graphics and video systems. It is also ideal
for any high speed communications type applications requiring
low cost, high speed DACs. It consists of three, high speed,
8-bit, video D/A converters (RGB); a standard TTL input interface and high impedance, analog output, current sources.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Fast video refresh rate, 80 MHz.
2. Compatible with a wide variety of high resolution color
graphics video systems.
3. Guaranteed monotonic with a maximum differential nonlinearity of ± 0.5 LSB. Integral nonlinearity is guaranteed to
be a maximum of ± 1 LSB.
The ADV7120 has three separate, 8-bit, pixel input ports, one
each for red, green and blue video data. Additional video input
controls on the part include composite sync, blank and reference white. A single +5 V supply, an external 1.23 V reference
and pixel clock input are all that are required to make the part
operational.
The ADV7120 is capable of generating RGB video output signals, which are compatible with RS-343A and RS-170 video
standards, without requiring external buffering.
The ADV7120 is fabricated in a +5 V CMOS process. Its
monolithic CMOS construction ensures greater functionality
with low power dissipation. The part is packaged in both a 0.6",
40-pin plastic DIP and a 44-pin plastic leaded (J-lead) chip carrier, PLCC. The ADV7120 is also available in a very small 48lead Thin Quad Flatpack (TQFP).
ADV is a registered trademark of Analog Devices, Inc.
*Speed grades up to 140 MHz are also available upon special request.

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Pin
Mnemonic
Function
BLANK
Composite blank control input (TTL compatible). A logic zero on this control input drives the analog outputs, IOR, IOB and IOG, to the blanking level. The BLANK signal is latched on the rising edge of CLOCK.
While BLANK is a logical zero, the R0–R7, G0–G7, R0–R7 and REF WHITE pixel and control inputs are
ignored.
SYNC
Composite sync control input (TTL compatible). A logical zero on the SYNC input switches off a 40 IRE
current source on the ISYNC output. SYNC does not override any other control or data input; therefore, it
should only be asserted during the blanking interval. SYNC is latched on the rising edge of CLOCK.
CLOCK
Clock input (TTL compatible). The rising edge of CLOCK latches the R0–R7, G0–G7, B0–B7, SYNC,
BLANK and REF WHITE pixel and control inputs. It is typically the pixel clock rate of the video system.
CLOCK should be driven by a dedicated TTL buffer.
REF WHITE
Reference white control input (TTL compatible). A logical one on this input forces the IOR, IOG and IOB
outputs to the white level, regardless of the pixel input data (R0–R7, G0–G7 and B0–B7). REF WHITE is
latched on the rising edge of clock.
R0–R7,
G0–G7,
B0–B7
Red, green and blue pixel data inputs (TTL compatible). Pixel data is latched on the rising edge of CLOCK.
R0, G0 and B0 are the least significant data bits. Unused pixel data inputs should be connected to either the
regular PCB power or ground plane.
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. All three current outputs should have similar output loads whether
or not they are all being used.
ISYNC
Sync current output. This high impedance current source can be directly connected to the IOG output. This
allows sync information to be encoded onto the green channel. ISYNC does not output any current while
SYNC is at logical zero. The amount of current output at ISYNC while SYNC is at logical one is given by:
ISYNC (mA) = 3,455 × VREF (V)/ RSET (Ω)
If sync information is not required on the green channel, ISYNC should be connected to AGND.
FS ADJUST
Full-scale adjust control. A resistor (RSET) connected between this pin and GND, controls the magnitude of
the full-scale video signal. Note that the IRE relationships are maintained, regardless of the full-scale output
current.
The relationship between RSET and the full-scale output current on IOG (assuming ISYNC is connected to
IOG) is given by:
RSET (Ω) = 12,082 × VREF (V)/IOG (mA)
The relationship between RSET and the full-scale output current on IOR and IOB is given by:
IOR, IOB (mA) = 8,628 × VREF (V)/ RSET (Ω)
COMP
Compensation pin. This is a compensation pin for the internal reference amplifier. A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor must be connected between COMP and VAA.
VREF
Voltage reference input. An external 1.2 V voltage reference must be connected to this pin. The use of an external resistor divider network is not recommended. A 0.1 µF decoupling ceramic capacitor should be connected between VREF and VAA.
VAA
Analog power supply (5 V ± 5%). All VAA pins on the ADV7120 must be connected.
GND
Ground. All GND pins must be connected.

TERMINOLOGY
Blanking Level
Raster Scan
The most basic method of sweeping a CRT one line at a time to
generate and display images.
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.
Reference Black Level
The maximum negative polarity amplitude of the video signal.
Reference White Level
Color Video (RGB)
The maximum positive polarity amplitude of the video signal.
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.
Sync Level
The peak level of the 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.
Sync Signal (SYNC)
The position of the composite video signal which synchronizes
the scanning process.
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 REF WHITE control input drives the RGB video outputs
to the white level. This function could be used to overlay a cursor or crosshair onto the RGB video output.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The ADV7120 contains three 8-bit D/A converters, with three
input channels each containing an 8-bit register. Also integrated on board the part is a reference amplifier and CRT control functions BLANK, SYNC and REF WHITE.
Table I details the resultant effect on the analog outputs of
BLANK, SYNC and REF WHITE.
Digital Inputs
All these digital inputs are specified to accept TTL logic levels.
24-bits of pixel data (color information) R0–R7, G0–G7 and
B0–B7 are latched into the device on the rising edge of each
clock cycle. This data is presented to the three 8-bit DACs and
is then converted to three analog (RGB) output waveforms.
(See Figure 2.)
Clock Input
The CLOCK input of the ADV7120 is typically the pixel clock
rate of the system. It is also known as the dot rate. The dot rate,
and hence the required CLOCK frequency, will be determined
by the on-screen resolution, according to the following
equation:
Three other digital control signals are latched to the analog
video outputs in a similar fashion. BLANK, SYNC and REF
WHITE are each latched on the rising edge of CLOCK to
maintain synchronization with the pixel data stream.
Dot Rate = (Horiz: Res) × (Vert Res) × (Refresh Rate)/
(Retrace Factor)
The BLANK and SYNC functions allow for the encoding of
these video synchronization signals onto the RGB video output.
This is done by adding appropriately weighted current sources
to the analog outputs, as determined by the logic levels on the
BLANK and SYNC digital inputs. Figure 3 shows the analog
output, RGB video waveform of the ADV7120. The influence
of SYNC and BLANK on the analog video waveform is
illustrated.

Horizontal scan rate. This is the rate at
which the screen must be refreshed, typically 60 Hz for a noninterlaced system or
30 Hz for an interlaced system.

Video Synchronization and Control
Reference Input
The ADV7120 has a single composite video sync (SYNC) input
control. Many graphics processors and CRT controllers have
the ability of generating horizontal sync (HSYNC), vertical sync
(VSYNC) and composite SYNC.
An external 1.23 V voltage reference is required to drive
the ADV7120. The AD589 from Analog Devices is an
ideal choice of reference. It is a two-terminal, low cost,
temperature compensated bandgap voltage reference which
provides a fixed 1.23 V output voltage for input currents
between 50 µA and 5 mA. Figure 4 shows a typical reference circuit connection diagram. The voltage reference gets
its current drive from the ADV7120’s VAA through an onboard 1 kΩ resistor to the VREF pin. A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is required between the COMP pin and VAA.
This is necessary so as to provide compensation for the
internal reference amplifier.
In a graphics system which does not automatically generate a
composite SYNC signal, the inclusion of some additional logic
circuitry will enable the generation of a composite SYNC signal.
The ISYNC current output is typically connected directly to the
IOG output, thus encoding video synchronization information
onto the green video channel. If it is not required to encode sync
information onto the ADV7120’s analog outputs, the SYNC input should be tied to logic low and the ISYNC should be connected to analog ground.

as a doubly terminated 75 Ω coaxial cable. Figure 5a shows the
required configuration for each of the three RGB outputs connected into a doubly terminated 75 Ω load. This arrangement
will develop RS-343A video output voltage levels across a 75 Ω
monitor.
A resistance RSET connected between FS ADJUST and GND
determines the amplitude of the output video level according to
the following equations:
IOG (mA) = 12,082 × VREF (V)/RSET (Ω)

D/A Converters
The ADV7120 contains three matched 8-bit D/A converters.
The DACs are designed using an advanced, high speed, segmented architecture. The bit currents corresponding to each
digital input are routed to either the analog output (bit = “1”)
or GND (bit = “0”) by a sophisticated decoding scheme. As all
this circuitry is on one monolithic device, matching between the
three DACs is optimized. As well as matching, the use of identical current sources in a monolithic design guarantees monotonicity and low glitch. The onboard operational amplifier
stabilizes the full-scale output current against temperature and
power supply variations.
Figure 3 shows the video waveforms associated with the three
RGB outputs driving the doubly terminated 75 Ω load of Figure
5a. As well as the gray scale levels, black level to white level, the
diagram also shows the contributions of SYNC and BLANK.
These control inputs add appropriately weighted currents to the
analog outputs, producing the specific output level requirements
for video applications. Table I details how the SYNC and
BLANK inputs modify the output levels.
Analog Outputs
The ADV7120 has three analog outputs, corresponding to the red,
green and blue video signals. A fourth analog output (ISYNC) can be
used if it is required to encode video synchronization information
onto the green signal. In this case, ISYNC is connected to IOG .
(See “Video Synchronization and Control” section.)
Gray Scale Operation
The ADV7120 can be used for stand-alone, gray scale (monochrome) or composite video applications (i.e., only one channel
used for video information). Any one of the three channels, red,
green or blue, can be used to input the digital video data. The
two unused video data channels should be tied to logical zero.
The red, green and blue analog outputs of the ADV7102 are
high impedance current sources. Each one of these three RGB
current outputs is capable of directly driving a 37.5 Ω load, such

ADV7120
The unused analog outputs should be terminated with the same
load as that for the used channel. In other words, if the red
channel is used and IOR is terminated with a doubly terminated
75 Ω load (37.5 Ω), IOB and IOG should be terminated with
37.5 Ω resistors. (See Figure 6.)
VIDEO
INPUT
The ADV7120 is specified to drive transmission line loads,
which is what most monitors are rated as. The analog output
configurations to drive such loads are described in the Analog
Interface section and illustrated in Figure 5. However, in some
applications it may be required to drive long “transmission line”
cable lengths. Cable lengths greater than 10 meters can attenuate and distort high frequency analog output pulses. The inclusion of output buffers will compensate for some cable distortion.
Buffers with large full power bandwidths and gains between 2
and 4 will be required.

These buffers will also need to be able to supply sufficient current over the complete output voltage swing. Analog Devices
produces a range of suitable op amps for such applications.
These include the AD84X series of monolithic op amps. In very

given in the relevant op amp data sheets.

PC BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Ground Planes
The ADV7120 is optimally designed for lowest noise performance, both radiated and conducted noise. To complement the
excellent noise performance of the ADV7120, it is imperative
that great care be given to the PC board layout. Figure 8 shows
a recommended connection diagram for the ADV7120.
The ADV7120 and associated analog circuitry, should have a
separate ground plane referred to as the analog ground plane.
This ground plane should connect to the regular PCB ground
plane at a single point through a ferrite bead, as illustrated in
Figure 8. This bead should be located as close as possible
(within 3 inches) to the ADV7120.
The layout should be optimized for lowest noise on the
ADV7120 power and ground lines. This can be achieved by
shielding the digital inputs and providing good decoupling. The
lead length between groups of VAA and GND pins should by
minimized so as to minimize inductive ringing.
The analog ground plane should encompass all ADV7120
ground pins, voltage reference circuitry, power supply bypass
circuitry, the analog output traces and any output amplifiers.
The regular PCB ground plane area should encompass all the
digital signal traces, excluding the ground pins, leading up to
the ADV7120.

Power Planes
The PC board layout should have two distinct power planes,
one for analog circuitry and one for digital circuitry. The analog
power plane should encompass the ADV7120 (VAA) and all associated analog circuitry. This power plane should be connected
to the regular PCB power plane (VCC) at a single point through
a ferrite bead, as illustrated in Figure 8. This bead should be located within three inches of the ADV7120.
The PCB power plane should provide power to all digital logic
on the PC board, and the analog power plane should provide
power to all ADV7120 power pins, voltage reference circuitry
and any output amplifiers.
The PCB power and ground planes should not overlay portions
of the analog power plane. Keeping the PCB power and ground
planes from overlaying the analog power plane will contribute to
a reduction in plane-to-plane noise coupling.
Supply Decoupling
Noise on the analog power plane can be further reduced by the
use of multiple decoupling capacitors. (See Figure 8.)
Optimum performance is achieved by the use of 0.1 µF ceramic
capacitors. Each of the two groups of VAA should be individually
decoupled to ground. This should be done by placing the capacitors as close as possible to the device with the capacitor
leads as short as possible, thus minimizing lead inductance.
It is important to note that while the ADV7120 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. A dc power supply filter (Murata BNX002) will provide EMI suppression between the switching power supply and
REV. B
the main PCB. Alternatively, consideration could be given to
using a three terminal voltage regulator.
Digital Signal Interconnect
The digital signal lines to the ADV7120 should be isolated as
much as possible from the analog outputs and other analog circuitry. Digital signal lines should not overlay the analog power
plane.
Due to the high clock rates used, long clock lines to the
ADV7120 should be avoided so as to minimize noise pickup.
Any active pull-up termination resistors for the digital inputs
should be connected to the regular PCB power plane (VCC), and
not the analog power plane.
Analog Signal Interconnect
The ADV7120 should be located as close as possible to the output connectors thus minimizing noise pickup and reflections
due to impedance mismatch.
The video output signals should overlay the ground plane, and
not the analog power plane, thereby maximizing the high frequency power supply rejection.
For optimum performance, the analog outputs should each have
a source termination resistance to ground of 75 Ω (doubly terminated 75 Ω configuration). This termination resistance should
be as close as possible to the ADV7120 so as to minimize
reflections.
Additional information on PCB design is available in an application note entitled “Design and Layout of a Video Graphics System for Reduced EMI.” This application note is available from
