New TDA8754 offers industry's highest digitalization speeds at up to 270 Msps
October 21, 2003 - Royal Philips Electronics expanded its portfolio of analog to digital interface products with the introduction of the TDA8754 triple 8-bit video data converter. Optimized for use in liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors, projectors and televisions, the TDA8754 converts RGB/YUV signals from virtually any analog source into digital data. The TDA8754 then digitally processes the data for use in high-speed flat panel displays with resolution up to QXGA (2048 x 1536 at 85Hz) and high definition televisions (HDTVs) - eliminating the need for external components for processing data. This integrated functionality reduces component costs and simplifies the design process.Digital display systems are experiencing rapid growth, with In-Stat MDR predicting thirty percent growth for LCD PC monitors and business projectors and sixty percent growth for digital TV monitors between 2002 and 2007. With the proliferation of digital display systems, there is the need for devices that support the transition from analog to digital. Philips is enabling this transition by offering systems that support both analog and digital standards as well as devices such as the TDA8754. With two analog inputs, a wide speed range and robust SYNC processing for compliance with all analog video formats, the TDA8754 provides customers with a flexible solution for converting analog video signals under 8-bits into triple 8 parallel data streams for quality digital picture.
Availability
Philips TDA8754 is currently available in LQFP144 and LBGA208 packaging. The LBGA208 package is pin-to-pin compatible with Philips' TDA8756. The TDA8756 offers the same functionality as the TDA8754 with the additional benefit of a Digital Visual Interface (DVI) receiver that includes High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).
