1 Introduction
The TVP5020 is a high-quality single-chip digital video decoder that converts base-band analog NTSC and
PAL video signals into digital component video. Both composite and S-video are supported. Sampling is
square-pixel or ITU-R BT.601 (13.5 MHz) and is line-locked for correct pixel alignment. The output formats
can be 8-bit or 16-bit 4:2:2, 12-bit 4:1:1, or 8-bit ITU-R BT.656. The TVP5020 uses TI patented technology
for locking to weak, noisy, or unstable signals. A genlock control output is generated for synchronizing
downstream video encoders.
Two-line (1-H delay) comb filtering is available for both the luma and chroma data paths to reduce both
cross-luma and cross-chroma artifacts; a chroma trap filter is also available. Video characteristics including
hue, contrast, and saturation are programmable using one of five supported host port interfaces. The
TVP5020 generates synchronization, blanking, field, lock, and clock signals in addition to digital video
outputs.
The TVP5020 includes advanced vertical blanking interval (VBI) data retrieval. The VBI data processor
slices, parses, and performs error checking on teletext data in several formats. A built-in FIFO stores up to
14 lines of teletext data and, with proper host port synchronization, full-field teletext retrieval is possible. The
VBI data processor also retrieves closed-caption data.

Analog processors and A/D converters
Y/C separation
Chrominance processor
Luminance processor
Clock/Timing processor and power-down control
