Product details
Overview
ADV7305AKST from Analog Devices is a multiformat SD/HD video encoder IC with six 14-bit NSV™ DACs, supporting simultaneous standard definition (ITU-R BT.601/656) and high definition (SMPTE 274M/296M/293M) inputs and outputs. It delivers YPrPb progressive scan (EIA-770.1/770.2), RGB+H/V, composite NTSC/PAL, S-Video, and EuroScart RGB outputs. Used in professional studio equipment and HDTV set-top boxes requiring precise analog video reconstruction.
For engineers reviewing the ADV7305AKST datasheet, ADV7305AKST pinout, ADV7305AKST application, or ADV7305AKST equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, confirmed DAC performance metrics, validated I²C register mapping, and functional alternatives for SD/HD video signal path design.
Technical Context
The ADV7305AKST integrates dual clock domains (CLKIN_A for HD/PS, CLKIN_B for simultaneous SD/HD), an on-chip PLL with external loop filter (EXT_LF), and independent timing generators for SD and HD paths. It supports async timing mode for arbitrary HD standards and EAV/SAV-based synchronization.
Its six 14-bit NSV DACs operate at 108 MHz (SD/PS) or 148.5 MHz (HDTV), with programmable gamma correction, adaptive/sharpness filters, and separate pedestal control per output type. Input modes include 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 YCrCb, RGB, and interleaved SD pixel formats - all configurable via I²C subaddress registers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit DAC resolution enabling >84 dB theoretical SNR for broadcast-grade video fidelity |
| Luma Bandwidth (HDTV) | 30 MHz - supports full bandwidth of 1080i/720p signals without aliasing |
| Chroma Bandwidth (HDTV) | 13.75 MHz - preserves color detail in YPrPb component outputs |
| DAC Full-Scale Output | 4.33 mA typical - sets standard 1 Vpp into 150 Ω load for composite/S-Video |
| I²C Slave Address | 0x54 (7-bit) - fixed address for MPU interface; ALSB pin selects filtering mode, not address |
| Power Supply | VAA = VDD = 2.5 V ±6.25%; VDD_IO = 2.5 V/3.3 V - dual I/O supply enables mixed-voltage system interfacing |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial industrial video equipment deployment |
Pinout & Package
ADV7305AKST is housed in a 64-lead LQFP package (ST-64B), lead-free, with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are validated per Analog Devices datasheet Rev. A, including dedicated SD/HD input ports, dual pixel clocks, and six analog DAC outputs with individual compensation pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Y0–Y9 | HD Y data input (LSB on Y0/Y1) | 10-bit luma channel for progressive scan/HDTV; routed to DAC D in default mode |
| C0–C9 | HD Cr/Cb data input (4:2:2) or Cb (4:4:4) | 10-bit chroma port; drives DAC E; LSB on C0/C1 |
| S0–S9 | SD pixel input or HD Cr (4:4:4) | 10-bit SD port; defaults to DAC F output; supports CCIR-656/601 formats |
| DAC A–F | Analog video output terminals | DAC A/B/C: SD CVBS/Y/U; DAC D/E/F: HD Y/Pr/Pb - each with dedicated COMP pin and RSET bias |
| CLKIN_A / CLKIN_B | Pixel clock inputs | CLKIN_A: primary clock (27/81 MHz); CLKIN_B: secondary clock (27/74.25 MHz) only active in simultaneous SD/HD mode |
| SCLK / SDA / ALSB / I2C | I²C interface control | Standard 2-wire MPU interface; ALSB configures I²C noise filtering; I2C pin must be tied high for operation |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar video encoder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADV7304AKST | Same pinout and core architecture, but lacks Macrovision Rev 7.1 and supports only Macrovision Rev 1.0 on SD outputs | Not suitable for DVD players requiring Rev 7.1 copy protection; otherwise identical SD/HD encoding capability | Select ADV7304AKST only when Rev 7.1 is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized |
| MAX9526ETL+ | Single-channel 10-bit SD encoder (NTSC/PAL only); no HD support, no I²C register access, fixed gamma | Only fits basic composite/S-Video output needs; cannot replace ADV7305AKST in multiformat or HD systems | Use MAX9526ETL+ only for cost-sensitive SD-only consumer devices where HD compatibility is irrelevant |
Compared with ADV7305AKST, ADV7304AKST offers identical HD/SD functionality minus Rev 7.1, while MAX9526ETL+ is a lower-cost, single-standard alternative with no HD capability - making ADV7305AKST the sole choice for simultaneous SD/HD broadcast-grade encoding.

FAQ
What video standards does the ADV7305AKST support for HD output?
The ADV7305AKST supports EIA-770.1 (YPrPb progressive scan), EIA-770.2 (YPrPb progressive scan), EIA-770.3 (YPrPb HDTV), and RGB + H/V (5-wire HDTV) outputs. It complies with SMPTE274M (1080i), SMPTE296M (720p), SMPTE293M (525p), and ITU-R BT.1358 (625p) standards in both synchronous and async timing modes - all confirmed in the official datasheet Rev. A.
Does the ADV7305AKST require external resistors or capacitors for basic operation?
Yes. The ADV7305AKST requires two 1520 Ω resistors (RSET1 and RSET2) connected from pins 35 and 47 to AGND to set DAC output current. It also requires 0.1 µF capacitors from COMP1 (pin 36) and COMP2 (pin 45) to VAA for DAC stability. These values are specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Pin Function Descriptions sections of the datasheet.
How does the ADV7305AKST handle simultaneous SD and HD inputs?
The ADV7305AKST uses separate input ports (S0–S9 for SD, Y0–Y9/C0–C9 for HD) and dual timing generators. When configured via Input Mode Register (subaddress 01h = 011/101/110), it processes both streams concurrently - routing SD to DACs A–C and HD to DACs D–F with independent sync insertion and filtering, as shown in Figure 9 of the datasheet.
What is the I²C slave address of the ADV7305AKST?
The ADV7305AKST has a fixed 7-bit I²C slave address of 0x54, as defined in Figure 16 of the datasheet. This differs from the ADV7304AKST (0xD4). The ALSB pin controls I²C noise filtering but does not alter the address. No external pull-up resistors are required on SDA/SCLK beyond standard I²C bus design.
Can the ADV7305AKST generate test patterns internally?
Yes. The ADV7305AKST includes an on-chip test pattern generator supporting color bars (SD), black bar (SD/HD), hatch (HD), and flat field/frame (HD) patterns. These are enabled via HD Mode Register (subaddress 11h, Bit 5) and SD Mode Register (subaddress 03h, Bit 0), eliminating need for external pattern sources during factory calibration or field diagnostics.
