GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8706A is a 6-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with 3 analog multiplexed inputs. Each input has an analog clamp on code 0 for RGB video processing. Clamping level can also be adjusted externally up to code 20. It can also be used as a single 6-bit ADC.

FEATURES
• 6-bit resolution
• Binary 3-state CMOS outputs
• CMOS compatible digital inputs
• 3 multiplexed video inputs
• R, G and B clamps on code 0
• Single 6-bit ADC operation allowed up to 40 MSPS
• External control of clamping level
• Internal reference voltage (external reference allowed)
• Power dissipation only 36 mW (typical)
• Operating temperature of −40 to +85 °C
• Operating between 2.7 and 5.5 V.

APPLICATIONS
• General purpose video applications
• R, G and B signals
• Automotive (car navigation)
