ADV7842 vs ADV7844

Category: Hardware

The ADV7842 seems to cut off the top few "lines" when using the composite input, did the ADV7844 correct that issue or is it still present?  Any other quality differences between the two or just more HDMI inputs on the ADV7844?

Hi, the forum denied your last post with a picture image link.  (denied because of the link).  I can't access that image either.  CAn you find another way to get that image to this post

  • https://free     image.host/i/Qf6W      YX

    See if this works, get rid of the spaces.

    yes, I can see them image after I remove the spaces

  • So the Kramer (7842), Lumagen (7800), and 7842 Eval Board all have the missing lines but the Onkyo (7844) does not.  Is this a register issue that can be corrected or a bug?

    As Poornima stated, the ADV7844 and ADV7842 are the same die with just different bond outs and packages.  There must be some differences in the registers.  Can you dump both register sets and do a side by side comparison.

  • I cannot dump anything from the finished processors and do not have a 7844 eval board so I will try and figure out with the 7842 what might be wrong.  Fair to assume that Onkyo corrected the issue and the others did not?

    That would be my guess too.  Check the vertical front and back porch settings

  • We figured out the register and fixed, you can close this issue.
