Description
The CH7203 video encoder integrates a dual PLL clock
generator and a digital NTSC/PAL video encoder. By
generating all essential clock signals for MPEG
playback, and converting digital video inputs to either
NTSC or PAL video signals, the CH7203 is an essential
component of any low-cost solution for video-CD
playback machines.
The CH7203 dual PLL clock synthesizer generates all
clocks and timing signals from a 14.31818 MHz
reference crystal (see application note 19 “Tuning
Clock Outputs” for selection and tuning of the 14.31818
MHz crystal). The CH7203 generates a 40.5 or 33.9
MHz video decoder clock, 13.5 MHz and 27 MHz
video pixel clocks, and a 16.934 or 11.289 MHz audio
decoder clock. Timing signals from the PLLs are used
to generate the horizontal and vertical sync signals
which enable operating the CH7203 in master mode.
The fully digital video encoder is pin-programmable to
generate either a 525-line NTSC or a 625-line PAL
compatible video signal. It also features a logic
selectable sleep mode which turns the encoder off while
leaving both PLL’s running.
