Recommended Replacement for ADV7181C/ADV7181D for New RGB + SOG Design

Hi,

   Please find the below response for your queries,

1. Is there a recommended replacement for the ADV7181C that is currently recommended for new designs?

                 >>Yes,ADV7842/ADV7802 is the replacement part for ADV7181C, as ADV7842/ADV7802 are currently in production and recommended for new designs(RND).

        2.Our main requirement is analog RGB input with Sync-on-Green (SOG) and digital RGB output to an FPGA. Which current ADI device would you recommend for this application?

               >> ADV7802/ADV7842 can meet your requirement. Please check respective datasheets.

        3.If there is currently no direct replacement for the ADV7181C, would you recommend using the ADV7181C or ADV7181D for a new design?

               >> Please consider ADV7802 and ADV7842 parts as direct replacement for ADV7181C/ADV7181D.

        4.Is the ADV7181D expected to have a longer product lifetime or better availability than the ADV7181C, or is it also considered unsuitable for a new long-term design?

              >>Both of the parts are unsuitable for long term design since it is under NRND. Please refer Product Life Cycle Information | Analog Devices

        5.If both devices are now NRND, is there any newer ADI product that is intended to replace this family, particularly for RGB/SOG graphics digitization?

               >>Please consider using ADV7802 or ADV7842.

Hi Poornima,

Thank you for your detailed response and for recommending the ADV7802/ADV7842 as replacements for the ADV7181C/ADV7181D.

Before we proceed with the new design, we would like to better understand the expected product lifetime of the ADV7802 and ADV7842.

Since our application is intended for long-term production, could you please advise:

* How long is the ADV7802 & ADV7842 expected to remain in production?
* Is there any expected risk of either device becoming NRND in the near or medium term?

We understand that ADI may not be able to provide a guaranteed EOL date, but any guidance regarding the expected longevity or product lifecycle of these devices would be very helpful for our design decision.

Our main concern is avoiding a situation where we redesign from the ADV7181C/ADV7181D to the ADV7802/ADV7842, only to have the replacement become NRND again after a relatively short period.

Thank you for your support.

Hi,

Is there any expected risk of either device becoming NRND in the near or medium term ?

    >> Kindly note that, Analog Devices publishes Product Change Notices (PCN) and Product Discontinuance Notices (PDNs) which you can have emailed directly to you. Set-up a profile on myAnalog to receive notices and view updates on your myAnalog home page. myAnalog is the fastest way to keep informed of these product changes.

In addition, the product page on the website includes the product life cycle status alongside the product part number.

The ADI product part number is a generic number used to represent the range of products specified by the specific product model number. To verify the product lifecycle status of a specific model, please contact ADI Customer Interaction Center.
