ML6411
Programmable Video Digitizer
with Selectable Gain and Clamps
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML6411 is a Dual Video A/D converter, incorporating
two input sample and holds, two high speed 8-Bit A/D
converters, programmable gain control, selectable clamps,
multi-phase clocking, and reference voltage generation.
The ML6411 can be used to convert the following analog
signals to digital signals: two composite channels or S-
video channel.
All inputs are provided with appropriate input selectable
clamps to establish DC level. The clamps are full DC
restore circuits with the A-to-D converters in each
respective correction loop. The clamps are selectable to
16, 24, 64, and 128. The programmable gain control
provides various possibilities to select and adjust the gain
via two separate mechanisms: Sync-Suppressed Gain
Control (SGC ) for sync suppressed video such as RGB, and
User Gain Control (UGC) for video formats that require
scalable gain settings. Each of these can be programmed
through a serial bus.
