ADV7188
CSFM[2:0] C-Shaping Filter Mode, Address 0x17 [7]
The C-shaping filter mode bits allow the user to select from a
range of low-pass filters for the chrominance signal.

GAIN OPERATION
The gain control within the ADV7188 is done on a purely
digital basis. The input ADCs support a 12-bit range, mapped
into a 1.6 V analog voltage range. Gain correction takes place
after the digitization in the form of a digital multiplier.

Advantages of this architecture over the commonly used PGA
(programmable gain amplifier) before the ADCs include that
the gain is now completely independent of supply, temperature,
and process variations.
As shown in Figure 21, the ADV7188 can decode a video signal
as long as it fits into the ADC window.
The two components to this are the amplitude of the input signal
and the dc level on which it resides. The dc level is set by the
clamping circuitry (see the Clamp Operation section).
If the amplitude of the analog video signal is too high, clipping
may occur resulting in visual artifacts. The analog input range
of the ADC, together with the clamp level, determines the
maximum supported amplitude of the video signal.
The minimum supported amplitude of the input video is
determined by the ADV7188’s ability to retrieve horizontal and
vertical timing and to lock to the color burst, if present.
There are separate gain control units for luma and chroma data.
Both can operate independently of each other. The chroma unit,
however, can also take its gain value from the luma path.
The possible AGC modes are summarized in Table 39.
It is possible to freeze the automatic gain control loops. This
causes the loops to stop updating and the AGC-determined
gain at the time of the freeze to stay active until the loop is
either unfrozen or the gain mode of operation is changed.
The currently active gain from any of the modes can be read
back. Refer to the description of the dual-function manual gain
registers, LG[11:0] Luma Gain and CG[11:0] Chroma Gain, in
the Luma Gain and the Chroma Gain sections.
