GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SAA7102; SAA7103 is used to encode PC graphics data at maximum 800 × 600 resolution to PAL (50 Hz) or NTSC (60 Hz) video signals. A programmable scaler and interlacer ensures properly sized and flicker-free TV display as CVBS or S-video output.
FEATURES
• Digital PAL/NTSC encoder with integrated high quality scaler and anti-flicker filter for TV output from a PC
• 27 MHz crystal-stable subcarrier generation
• Maximum graphics pixel clock 45 MHz at double edged clocking, synthesized on-chip or from external source
• Up to 800 × 600 graphics data at 60 Hz or 50 Hz with programmable underscan range
• Three Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) at 27 MHz sample rate for CVBS (BLUE, CB), VBS (GREEN, CVBS) and C (RED, CR) (signals in parenthesis are optional); all at 10-bit resolution
• Non-interlaced CB-Y-CR or RGB input at maximum 4 : 4 : 4 sampling
• Downscaling from 1 : 1 to 1 : 2 and up to 20% upscaling
• Optional interlaced CB-Y-CR input Digital Versatile Disk (DVD)
• Optional non-interlaced RGB output to drive second VGA monitor (bypass mode, maximum 45 MHz)
• 3 × 256 bytes RGB Look-Up Table (LUT)
• Support for hardware cursor
• Programmable border colour of underscan area
• On-chip 27 MHz crystal oscillator (3rd-harmonic or fundamental 27 MHz crystal)
• Fast I2C-bus control port (400 kHz)
• Encoder can be master or slave
• Programmable horizontal and vertical input synchronization phase
• Programmable horizontal sync output phase
• Internal Colour Bar Generator (CBG)
• Optional support of various Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI) data insertion
