General Description
The CH7202 is a fully integrated solution for converting 8-bit YCrCb (4:2:2) digital video inputs into high-
quality NTSC or PAL video signals while generating all essential clock signals for MPEG playback. All
essential circuitry for this conversion and clock generation (Dual PLL’s, linear interpolator, digital filters,
NTSC/PAL encoder, DAC’s) are contained in the CH7202 making it an essential component of any low-cost
solution for video-CD playback machines. Refer to the Block Diagram on page 1 and the Interface Diagram on
page 5.
Functional Description
The encoded luminance (Y) and color-difference (U,V) values are interpolated and filtered through digital
filters to minimize aliasing problems. The filtered signals go to the digital encoder where they are transformed
to composite and S-video outputs, and then they are converted by the three 9-bit DACs to analog outputs.
8-bit YCrCb (4:2:2) Input
Y data and CrCb data are multiplexed into the CH7202 through the YC[7:0] pins. The order of the multiplexed
data is determined by the YCSWAP and CbSWAP pins, and is referenced to the horizontal sync pin. Refer to
Figure5
on page 7.
Clock/Data/Synchronization Timing
The CH7202 can operate in either master or slave mode. In master mode, it supplies the necessary clocks (1X,
2X, video system and audio) and synchronization (HSYNC* and VSYNC*) signals to other building blocks in
the video system. In slave mode, the 2X pixel clock, HSYNC* and VSYNC* become inputs to the CH7202,
and the remaining clock signals are still output. The timing relationships are shown in
Figures 6
and

on
page 8.
Video Encoder Modes
Combinations of the two signals MOD0 and MOD1 select the various TV signal format and power saving
modes as shown below.

Frequency Select Modes
The frequency select input FS affects the DCLK and ACLK outputs as shown below.
FS = 1 (default) DCLK = 40.5 MHz, ACLK = 16.934 MHz
FS = 0
DCLK = 33.9 MHz, ACLK = 11.289 MHz
