circuitry enables the generation of a composite

The red, green, and blue analog outputs of the ADV7123 are
high impedance current sources. Each one of these three RGB
current outputs is capable of directly driving a 37.5 ꢁ load, such
as a doubly terminated 75 ꢁ coaxial cable. Figure 24 shows
the required configuration for each of the three RGB outputs
connected into a doubly terminated 75 ꢁ load. This arrangement
develops RS-343A video output voltage levels across a 75 ꢁ
monitor.
The sync current is internally 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 ADV7123, the

REFERENCE INPUT
The ADV7123 contains an on-board voltage reference. The VREF
pin is normally terminated to VAA through a 0.1 μF capacitor.
Alternatively, the part can, if required, be overdriven by an
external 1.23 V reference (AD1580).
A suggested method of driving RS-170 video levels into a 75 ꢁ
monitor is shown in Figure 25. The output current levels of the
DACs remain unchanged, but the source termination resistance,
ZS, on each of the three DACs is increased from 75 ꢁ to 150 ꢁ.
IOR, IOG, IOB
A resistance, RSET, connected between the RSET pin and GND,
determines the amplitude of the output video level according to
Equation 1 and Equation 2 for the ADV7123.

Using a variable value of RSET allows for accurate adjustment of
the analog output video levels. Use of a fixed 560 ꢁ RSET resistor
yields the analog output levels quoted in the Specifications section.
These values typically correspond to the RS-343A video wave-
form values, as shown in Figure 23.

DACs
The ADV7123 contains three matched 10-bit DACs. The DACs
are designed using an advanced, high speed, segmented architec-
ture. 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. Because all this circuitry is
on one monolithic device, matching between the three DACs is
optimized. As well as matching, the use of identical current
