ADV7343 Test Pattern Issue

Hi All, We're using ADV7343 video encoder to convert 24bit RGB video to a single ended CVBS signal. For testing first we generated the test patterns as per the data sheet by successfully writing I2C data. But the LCD display at the other end does not have a sign of the video signal (nor for 24bit RGB signal). I'm pretty sure that the I2C writing and register settings are okay, specifically the following addresses loaded with the bold color values :

0x17 --> 0x02

0x00 --> 0xFC

0x82 --> 0xC9

0x84 --> 0x40

The retrieved CVBS signal from DAC4 (low drive) for the test pattern is shown below :

And the schematic we use is attached herewith. A 27MHz of clock signal is fed to the CLKIN_A of the encoder !

What could cause this issue ? I read somewhere that a termination resistor has been used to workaround a similar issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated !

Thanks in Advance

Anuradha

PS: More to this, I checked a BOSCAM with the same LCD (that's SEETEC) through CVBS. The screen displays the camera input without any issue.

  • Hi Anuradha,

    To answer your questions:

    1. So according to what you say, the timing should be compliant with NTSC standard, not the lcd parameters ? I am using a 800x480 generic lcd panel from SEETECH. 

    [AP]: Correct. The Encoder does not perform scaling of any kind so the timing you wish to see at the output should be the timing you supply at the input. The list of resolutions supported by the encoder can be found on p5 of the datasheet. Any resolutions outside this list are not supported.

    2. According to the datasheet, the sync signals should be in 'active low' mode, in otherwords the inverted version of the signals in the oscilloscope view right ? 

    [AP]: Correct

    3. Where can I find these full timing parameter list for NTSC 525i ?

    [AP]: NTSC is a very common analog video standard, timing of all the different variants can be easily obtained online.

    Best Regards,

    Anthony
