GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SAB9076H is a picture-in-picture controller for NTSC
TV-sets. The circuit contains ADCs, reduction circuitry,
memory control, display control and DACs.
The device inserts one or two live video signals with
original or reduced sizes into a live video signal. All video
signals are expected to be analog baseband signals.
The conversion into the digital environment and back to
the analog environment is carried out on chip. Internal
clocks are generated by two acquisition PLLs and a
display PLL.
Due to the two PIP channels and a large external memory
a wide range of PIP modes are offered. The emphasis is
put on single-PIP, double-PIP, split-screen mode and a
many multi-PIP modes.
