GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADV7177/AD7178 are integrated digital video encoders
that convert digital CCIR-601 4:2:2 8- or 16-component video
data into a standard analog baseband television signal
compatible with worldwide standards. The 4:2:2 YUV video
data is interpolated to 2× the pixel rate. The color-difference
components (UV) are quadrature modulated using a subcarrier
frequency generated by an on-chip, 32-bit digital synthesizer
(also running at 2× the pixel rate). The 2× pixel rate sampling
allows for better signal-to-noise ratio. A 32-bit DDS with a 9-bit
look-up table produces a superior subcarrier in terms of both
frequency and phase. In addition to the composite output
signal, there is the facility to output S-video (Y/C video), YUV
or RGB video.
Each analog output is capable of driving the full video-level
(34.7 mA) signal into an unbuffered, doubly terminated 75 Ω
load. With external buffering, the user has the additional option
to scale back the DAC output current to 5 mA min, thereby
significantly reducing the power dissipation of the device.
The ADV7177/ADV7178 also support both PAL and NTSC
square pixel operation.
The output video frames are synchronized with the incoming
data timing reference codes. Optionally, the encoder accepts
(and can generate) HSYNC, VSYNC, and FIELD timing signals.
These timing signals can be adjusted to change pulse width and
position while the parts are in master mode. The encoder
requires a single, 2× pixel rate (27 MHz) clock for standard
operation. Alternatively, the encoder requires a 24.5454 MHz
clock for NTSC or 29.5 MHz clock for PAL square pixel mode
operation. All internal timing is generated on-chip.
The ADV7177/ADV7178 modes are set up over a 2-wire serial
bidirectional port (I2C-compatible) with two slave addresses.
Functionally, the ADV7178 and the ADV7177 are the same
except that the ADV7178 can output the Macrovision anticopy
algorithm, and OSD is only supported on the ADV7177.
The ADV7177/ADV7178 are packaged in a 44-lead, thermally
enhanced MQFP package.

THEORY OF OPERATION
DATA PATH DESCRIPTION
For PAL B, D, G, H, I, M, N and NTSC M, N modes, YCrCb
4:2:2 data is input via the CCIR-656-compatible pixel port at
a 27 MHz data rate. The pixel data is demultiplexed to form
three data paths. Y typically has a range of 16 to 235, Cr and
Cb typically have a range of 128 ± 112; however, it is possible
to input data from 1 to 254 on both Y, Cb and Cr. The
ADV7177/ADV7178 support PAL (B, D, G, H, I, N, M) and
NTSC (with and without pedestal) standards. The appropriate
SYNC, BLANK, and burst levels are added to the YCrCb data.
Macrovision AntiTaping (ADV7178 only), closed captioning,
OSD (ADV7177 only), and teletext levels are also added to Y,
and the resulting data is interpolated to a rate of 27 MHz. The
interpolated data is filtered and scaled by three digital FIR
filters.
The U and V signals are modulated by the appropriate
subcarrier sine/cosine phases and added together to make up
the chrominance signal. The luma (Y) signal can be delayed
1 to 3 luma cycles (each cycle is 74 ns) with respect to the
chroma signal. The luma and chroma signals are then added
together to make up the composite video signal. All edges are
slew-rate limited.
The YCrCb data is also used to generate RGB data with
appropriate SYNC and BLANK levels. The RGB data is in
synchronization with the composite video output. Alternatively,
analog YUV data can be generated instead of RGB.
The three 9-bit DACs can be used to output:
RGB video
YUV video
One composite video signal + LUMA and CHROMA
(S-video).
Alternatively, each DAC can be individually powered off if not
required.
Video output levels are illustrated in the section NTSC
Waveforms With Pedestal.
Internal Filter Response
The Y filter supports several different frequency responses,
including two 4.5 MHz/5.0 MHz low-pass responses, PAL/
NTSC subcarrier notch responses, and a PAL/NTSC extended
response. The U and V filters have a 1.0 MHz/1.3 MHz low-
pass response for NTSC/PAL. These filter characteristics are
illustrated in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
Color-Bar Generation
The devices can be configured to generate 100/7.5/75/7.5 color
bars for NTSC or 100/0/75/0 for PAL color bars. These are
enabled by setting MR17 of Mode Register 1 to Logic 1.
Square Pixel Mode
The ADV7177/ADV7178 can be used to operate in square pixel
mode. For NTSC operation, an input clock of 24.5454 MHz is
required. Alternatively, an input clock of 29.5 MHz is required
for PAL operation. The internal timing logic adjusts accordingly
for square pixel mode operation.
Color Signal Control
The color information can be switched on and off the video
output by using Bit MR24 of Mode Register 2.
Burst Signal Control
The burst information can be switched on and off the video
output using Bit MR25 of Mode Register 2.
NTSC Pedestal Control
The pedestal on both odd and even fields can be controlled on a
line-by-line basis by using the NTSC pedestal control registers.
This allows the pedestals to be controlled during the vertical
blanking interval.
PIXEL TIMING DESCRIPTION
The ADV7177/ADV7178 can operate in either 8-bit or 16-bit
YCrCb mode.
8-Bit YCrCb Mode
This default mode accepts multiplexed YCrCb inputs through
the P7 to P0 pixel inputs. The inputs follow the sequence Cb0,
Y0 Cr0, Y1 Cb1, Y2, etc. The Y, Cb and Cr data are input on a
rising clock edge.
16-Bit YCrCb Mode
This mode accepts Y inputs through the P7 to P0 pixel inputs
and multiplexed CrCb inputs through the P15 to P8 pixel
inputs. The data is loaded on every second rising edge of
CLOCK. The inputs follow the sequence Cb0, Y0 Cr0,
Y1 Cb1, Y2, etc.
OSD
The ADV7177 supports OSD. There are twelve, 8-bit OSD
registers loaded with data from the four most significant bits of
Y, Cb, Cr input pixel data bytes. A choice of eight colors can,
therefore, be selected via the OSD_0, OSD_1, OSD_2 pins, each
color being a combination of 12 bits of Y, Cb, Cr pixel data. The
display is under control of the OSD_EN pin. The OSD window
can be an entire screen or just one pixel, and its size may change
by using the OSD_EN signal to control the width on a line-by-
line basis. Figure 5 illustrates OSD timing on the ADV7177.
ADV7177/ADV7178
Rev. C | Page 17 of 44
VIDEO TIMING DESCRIPTION
The ADV7177/ADV7178 are intended to interface to off-the-
shelf MPEG1 and MPEG2 decoders. Consequently, the
ADV7177/ADV7178 accept 4:2:2 YCrCb pixel data via a
CCIR-656 pixel port, and have several video timing modes
allowing them to be configured as either a system master
video timing generator or a slave to the system video timing
generator. The ADV7177/ADV7178 generate all of the required
horizontal and vertical timing periods and levels for the analog
video outputs. It is important to note that the CCIR-656 data
stream should not contain ancillary data packets as per the
BT1364 specification. This data can corrupt the internal
synchronization circuitry of the devices, resulting in loss of
synchronization on the output.
The ADV7177/ADV7178 calculate the width and placement of
analog sync pulses, blanking levels, and color burst envelopes.
Color bursts are disabled on appropriate lines, and serration
and equalization pulses are inserted where required.
In addition, the ADV7177/ADV7178 support a PAL or NTSC
square pixel operation in slave mode. The parts require an input
pixel clock of 24.5454 MHz for NTSC and an input pixel clock
of 29.5 MHz for PAL. The internal horizontal line counters
place the various video waveform sections in the correct
location for the new clock frequencies.
The ADV7177/ADV7178 have four distinct master and four
distinct slave timing configurations. Timing control is
established with the bidirectional SYNC, BLANK, and
FIELD/VSYNC pins. Timing Mode Register 1 can also be used
to vary the timing pulse widths and where they occur in
relation to each other.
Vertical Blanking Data Insertion (VBI)
It is possible to allow encoding of incoming YCbCr data on
those lines of VBI that do not bear line sync or pre- and post-
equalization pulses (see the Typical Performance Characteristics
section). This mode of operation is called partial blanking and
is selected by setting MR31 to 1. It allows the insertion of any
VBI data (opened VBI) into the encoded output waveform. This
data is present in the digitized incoming YCbCr data stream
(for example, WSS data, CGMS, and VPS). Alternatively, the
entire VBI can be blanked (no VBI data inserted) on these lines
by setting MR31 to 0.

The ADV7177/ADV7178 are controlled by the start active video (SAV) and end active video (EAV) time codes in the pixel data. All
timing information is transmitted using a 4-byte synchronization pattern. A synchronization pattern is sent immediately before and after
each line during active picture and retrace. Mode 0 is illustrated in Figure 14. The HSYNC, FIELD/VSYNC, and BLANK (if not used)
pins should be tied high during this mode.

POWER-ON RESET
After power-up, it is necessary to execute a reset operation. A
reset occurs on the falling edge of a high-to-low transition on
the RESET pin. This initializes the pixel port so that the pixel
inputs, P7 to P0, are selected. After reset, the devices are
automatically set up to operate in NTSC mode. Subcarrier
frequency code 21F07C16HEX is loaded into the subcarrier
frequency registers. All other registers, except Mode Register 0,
are set to 00HEX. All bits in Mode Register 0 are set to Logic 0
except Bit MR02. Bit MR02 of Mode Register 0 is set to Logic 1.
This enables the 7.5 IRE pedestal.
MPU PORT DESCRIPTION
The ADV7178 and ADV7177 support a 2-wire serial (I2C-
compatible) microprocessor bus driving multiple peripherals.
Two inputs, serial data (SDATA) and serial clock (SCLOCK),
carry information between any device connected to the bus.
Each slave device is recognized by a unique address. The
ADV7178 and ADV7177 each have four possible slave
addresses for both read and write operations. These are
unique addresses for each device and are illustrated in
Figure 27 and Figure 28. The LSB sets either a read or write
operation. Logic 1 corresponds to a read operation, while Logic
0 corresponds to a write operation. A1 is set by setting the
ALSB pin of the ADV7177/ ADV7178 to Logic 0 or Logic 1.
To control the various devices on the bus, the following
protocol must be followed. First, the master initiates a data
transfer by establishing a start condition, defined by a high-to-
low transition on SDATA while SCLOCK remains high. This
indicates that an address/data stream follows. All peripherals
respond to the start condition and shift the next eight bits (7-bit
address + R/W bit). The bits transfer from MSB down to LSB.
The peripheral that recognizes the transmitted address
responds by pulling the data line low during the ninth clock
pulse. This is known as an acknowledge bit. All other devices
withdraw from the bus at this point and maintain an idle
condition. The idle condition is where the device monitors the
SDATA and SCLOCK lines waiting for the start condition and
the correct transmitted address. The R/W bit determines the
direction of the data. A Logic 0 on the LSB of the first byte
means that the master writes information to the peripheral. A
Logic 1 on the LSB of the first byte means that the master reads
information from the peripheral.
The ADV7177/ADV7178 act as standard slave devices on the
bus. The data on the SDATA pin is 8 bits long, supporting the
7-bit addresses, plus the R/W bit. The ADV7178 has 36 sub-
addresses and the ADV7177 has 31 subaddresses to enable
access to the internal registers. It therefore interprets the first
byte as the device address and the second byte as the starting
subaddress. The auto-increment of the subaddresses allows
data to be written to or read from the starting subaddress. A
data transfer is always terminated by a stop condition. The
user can also access any unique subaddress register on a one-
by-one basis without having to update all the registers, with one
exception. The subcarrier frequency registers should be updated
in sequence, starting with Subcarrier Frequency Register 0. The
auto-increment function should then be used to increment and
access Subcarrier Frequency Registers 1, 2 and 3. The subcarrier
frequency registers should not be accessed independently.

Stop and start conditions can be detected at any stage during
the data transfer. If these conditions are asserted out of
sequence with normal read and write operations, they cause an
immediate jump to the idle condition. During a given SCLOCK
high period, the user should issue only one start condition, one
stop condition, or a single stop condition followed by a single
start condition. If an invalid subaddress is issued by the user,
the devices do not issue an acknowledge and return to the idle
condition. If, in auto-increment mode, the user exceeds the
highest subaddress, the following actions are taken.
In read mode, the highest subaddress register contents continue
to be output until the master device issues a no acknowledge.
This indicates the end of a read. A no-acknowledge condition is
where the SDATA line is not pulled low on the ninth pulse.
In write mode, the data for the invalid byte is not loaded into
any subaddress register, a no acknowledge is issued by the
ADV7177/ADV7178, and the parts return to the idle condition.
Figure 29 illustrates an example of data transfer for a read
sequence and the start and stop conditions. Figure 30 shows
bus write and read sequences.

REGISTERS
REGISTER ACCESS
The MPU can write to or read from all of the ADV7177 and
ADV7178 registers except the subaddress register, which is a
write-only register. The subaddress register determines which
register the next read or write operation accesses. All commun-
ications with the part through the bus start with an access to
the subaddress register. A read/write operation is performed
from/to the target address, which then increments to the next
address until a stop command on the bus is performed.
REGISTER PROGRAMMING
This section describes each register, including the subaddress
register, mode registers, subcarrier frequency registers, sub-
carrier phase register, timing registers, closed captioning
extended data registers, closed captioning data registers, and
the NTSC pedestal control registers in terms of configuration.
Subaddress Register (SR7–SR0)
The communications register is an 8-bit, write-only register.
After the parts have been accessed over the bus and a read/write
operation is selected, the subaddress is set up. The subaddress
register determines to/from which register the operation takes
place.
Figure 31 shows the various operations under the control of the
subaddress register. Zero should always be written to SR7–SR6.
Register Select (SR5–SR0)
These bits are set up to point to the required starting address.
MODE REGISTER 0 MR0 (MR07–MR00)
Address [SR4–SR0] = 00H
Figure 32 shows the various operations under the control of
Mode Register 0. This register can be read from as well as
written to.
MR0 BIT DESCRIPTION
Output Video Standard Selection (MR01–MR00)
These bits are used to set up the encode mode. The ADV7177/
ADV7178 can be set up to output NTSC, PAL (B, D, G, H, I),
and PAL (M) standard video.
Pedestal Control (MR02)
This bit specifies whether a pedestal is to be generated on
the NTSC composite video signal. This bit is invalid if the
ADV7177/ADV7178 is configured in PAL mode.
Luminance Filter Control (MR04–MR03)
The luminance filters are divided into two sets (NTSC/PAL) of
four filters, low-pass A, low-pass B, notch, and extended. When
PAL is selected, Bits MR03 and MR04 select one of four PAL
luminance filters; likewise, when NTSC is selected, Bits MR03
and MR04 select one of four NTSC luminance filters. The
Typical Performance Characteristics section shows the filters.
RGB Sync (MR05)
This bit is used to set up the RGB outputs with the sync
information encoded on all RGB outputs.

MR2 BIT DESCRIPTION
Square Pixel Control (MR20)
This bit is used to set up square pixel mode. This is available in
slave mode only. For NTSC, a 24.5454 MHz clock must be
supplied. For PAL, a 29.5 MHz clock must be supplied.
Active Video Line Duration (MR23)
This bit switches between two active video line durations. A 0
selects CCIR Rec. 601 (720 pixels PAL/NTSC) and a 1 selects
ITU-R.BT470 “analog” standard for active video duration
(710 pixels NTSC, 702 pixels PAL).
Chrominance Control (MR24)
This bit enables the color information to be switched on and off
the video output.
Burst Control (MR25)
This bit enables the burst information to be switched on and off
the video output.
RGB/YUV Control (MR26)
This bit enables the output from the RGB DACs to be set to
YUV output video standard. Bit MR06 of Mode Register 0 must
be set to Logic 1 before MR26 is set.

Mode Register 3 is an 8-bit-wide register. Figure 41shows the
various operations under the control of Mode Register 3.
MR3 BIT DESCRIPTION
Revision Code (MR30)
This bit is read only and indicates the revision of the device.
VBI_Pass-Through (MR31)
This bit determines whether or not data in the vertical blanking
interval (VBI) is output to the analog outputs or blanked. VBI
data insertion is not available in Slave Mode 0. Also, if BLANK
input control (TR03) is enabled, and VBI_Pass-Through is
enabled, TR03 has priority, that is, VBI data insertion does
not work.
Clock Output (MR33–MR32)
These bits control the synchronous clock output signal. The
clock can be 27 MHz, 13.5 MHz, or disabled, depending on the
values of these bit.
OSD Enable (MR35)
A Logic 1 in MR35 enables the OSD function on the ADV7177.
Input Default Color (MR36)
This bit determines the default output color from the DACs for
zero input data (or disconnected). A Logic 0 means that the
color corresponding to 00000000 is displayed. A Logic 1 forces
the output color to black for 00000000 input video data.
Reserved (MR37)
Zero should be written to this bit.

BOARD DESIGN AND LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
The ADV7177/ADV7178 are highly integrated circuits
containing both precision analog circuitry and high speed
digital circuitry. The parts have been designed to minimize
interference effects on the integrity of the analog circuitry by
the high speed digital circuitry. It is imperative that the same
design and layout techniques be applied to the system-level
design so that high speed and accurate performance is achieved.
Figure 43 shows the analog interface between the device and
monitor. The layout should be optimized for lowest noise on the
ADV7177/ADV7178 power and ground lines by shielding the
digital inputs and providing good decoupling. The lead length
between groups of VAA and GND pins should by minimized to
minimize inductive ringing.
GROUND PLANES
The ground plane should encompass all ADV7177/ADV7178
ground pins, voltage reference circuitry, power supply bypass
circuitry for the ADV7177/ADV7178, the analog output traces,
and all digital signal traces leading up to the ADV7177/
ADV7178. The ground plane is the boards common ground
plane.
POWER PLANES
The ADV7177/ADV7178 and any associated analog circuitry
should have their own power plane, referred to as the analog
power plane (VAA). This power plane should be connected to
the regular PCB power plane (VCC) at a single point through a
ferrite bead. This bead should be located within three inches of
the ADV7177/ADV7178.
The metallization gap separating the device power plane and
board power plane should be as narrow as possible to minimize
the obstruction to the flow of heat from the device into the
general board.
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 ADV7177/ADV7178 power pins and voltage
reference circuitry.
Plane-to-plane noise coupling can be reduced by ensuring that
portions of the regular PCB power and ground planes do not
overlay portions of the analog power plane, unless they can be
arranged so 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 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor
decoupling. Each group of VAA pins on the ADV7177/ADV7178
must have at least one 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor to GND.
These capacitors should be placed as close to the device as
possible. Note that while the ADV7177/ADV7178 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 consider using a 3-terminal voltage regulator
for supplying power to the analog power plane.
DIGITAL SIGNAL INTERCONNECT
The digital inputs to the ADV7177/ADV7178 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.
Due to the high clock rates involved, long clock lines to the
ADV7177/ADV7178 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.
ANALOG SIGNAL INTERCONNECT
The ADV7177/ADV7178 should be located as close to the
output connectors as possible to minimize noise pickup and
reflections due to impedance mismatch.
The video output signals should overlay the ground plane, not
the analog power plane, to maximize the high frequency power-
supply rejection. Digital inputs, especially pixel data inputs and
clocking signals, should never overlay any of the analog signal
circuitry and should be kept as far away as possible.
For best performance, the outputs should each have a 75 Ω load
resistor connected to GND. These resistors should be placed as
close as possible to the ADV7177/ADV7178 to minimize
reflections.
The ADV7177/ADV7178 should have no floating inputs. Any
inputs that are not required should be tied to ground.

CLOSED CAPTIONING
The ADV7177/ADV7178 support closed captioning, which
conforms to the standard television synchronizing waveform
for color transmission. Closed captioning is transmitted during
the blanked active line time of Line 21 of the odd fields and
Line 284 of even fields.
Closed captioning consists of a 7-cycle sinusoidal burst that is
frequency and phase locked to the caption data. After the clock
run-in signal, the blanking level is held for 2 data bits and is
followed by a Logic 1 start bit. The start bit is followed by16 bits
of data. These consist of two, 8-bit bytes, seven data bits and one
odd parity bit. The data for these bytes is stored in closed
captioning Data Registers 0 and 1.
The ADV7177/ADV7178 also supports the extended closed
captioning operation, which is active during even fields, and is
encoded on Scan Line 284. The data for this operation is stored
in closed captioning extended Data Registers 0 and 1. All clock
run-in signals and timing to support closed captioning on
Line 21 and Line 284 are generated automatically by the
ADV7177/ ADV7178. All pixels inputs are ignored during
Line 21 and Line 284.
FCC Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 47 Section 15.119 and
EIA608 describe the closed captioning information for Line 21
and Line 284.
The ADV7177/ADV7178 uses a single buffering method.
This means that the closed captioning buffer is only 1 byte
deep, therefore there is no frame delay in outputting the closed
captioning data unlike other 2-byte-deep buffering systems.
The data must be loaded at least one line before (Line 20 or
Line 283) it is outputted on Line 21 and Line 284. A typical
implementation of this method is to use VSYNC to interrupt
a microprocessor, which in turn loads the new data (2 bytes)
every field. If no new data is required for transmission, zeros
must be inserted in both data registers; this is called nulling.
It is also important to load control codes, all of which are
double bytes on Line 21, or a TV does not recognize them. If
you have a message such as “Hello World,” which has an odd
number of characters, it is important to pad it out to an even
number to include the end-of-caption, 2-byte control code in
the same field.

REGISTER VALUES
The ADV7177/ADV7178 registers can be set depending on the
user standard required.
The following examples give the various register formats for
several video standards. In each case the output is set to com-
posite output with all DACs powered up and with the BLANK
input control disabled. Also, the burst and color information are
enabled on the output and the internal color bar generator is
switched off. In the examples shown, the timing mode is set to
Mode 0 in slave format. TR02–TR00 of the Timing Register 0
control the timing modes. For a detailed explanation of each bit
in the command registers, see the Register Programming
section. TR07 should be toggled after setting up a new timing
mode. Timing Register 1 provides added control over the
position and duration of the timing signals. In the examples,
this register is programmed in default mode.

OPTIONAL OUTPUT FILTER
If an output filter is required for the CVBS, Y, UV, Chroma, and
RGB outputs of the ADV7177/ADV7178, the filter in Figure 63
can be used. Plots of the filter characteristics are shown in
Figure 64. An output filter is not required if the outputs of the
ADV7177/ADV7178 are connected to an analog monitor or an
analog TV; however, if the output signals are applied to a system
where sampling is used (for example, digital TV), a filter is
required to prevent aliasing.

OPTIONAL DAC BUFFERING
For external buffering of the ADV7177/ADV7178 DAC
outputs, the configuration in Figure 65 is recommended. This
configuration shows the DAC outputs running at half (18 mA)
their full-current (34.7 mA) capability. This allows the devices
to dissipate less power; the analog current is reduced by 50%
with a RSET of 300 Ω and a RLOAD of 75 Ω. This mode is
recommended for 3.3 V operation as optimum performance is
obtained from the DAC outputs at 18 mA with a VAA of 3.3 V.
This buffer also adds extra isolation on the video outputs, as the
buffer circuit in Figure 66 shows. When calculating absolute
output full current and voltage, use the following equation:
VOUT = IOUT × RLOAD
