General Description
Chrontel’s CH7002 VGA to NTSC/PAL encoder is a stand-
alone integrated circuit which provides a PC 99 compliant
solution for TV output. It accepts RGB analog inputs directly
from VGA controllers and converts them directly into NTSC
or PAL TV format, with simultaneous composite and
S-Video outputs.
This circuit integrates a digital NTSC/PAL encoder with 8-
bit ADC and DAC interfaces, a 3-line vertical filter, and low-
jitter phase-locked loop to create outstanding quality video.
Through Chrontel’s TrueScale
TM
rendering technology, the
CH7002 supports full vertical and horizontal underscan
operation from either 640x480 or 800x600 input to either
NTSC or PAL outputs.
A high level of performance along with full programmability
makes the CH7002 ideal for system-level PC or Web
browser solutions. All features are software programmable,
through a standard I
2
C port, to enable fully integrated system
solutions by using a TV as the primary display device.
