The ADV7173KSTZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a high-performance digital video encoder that converts 4:2:2 YCrCb digital video into high-quality analog outputs, including NTSC, PAL, and SECAM formats. With six 10-bit DACs, programmable timing, and low-power CMOS architecture, this encoder delivers exceptional output quality for both consumer and industrial video applications.
Supporting both square pixel and CCIR-601 formats, and packaged in a space-efficient 48-pin LQFP, the ADV7173 is ideal for FPGA- and DSP-based systems that require legacy video output without sacrificing flexibility.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes this video encoder a standout choice for multimedia design.
