Re: Video DAC suggestion

I love it, specially the svideo! You're really putting the cream of the crop in there. I haven't look at it, the playstation joystick interface, is it a serial interface like the nes? Yeah, basically just SPI-like. It has a protocol, but it's pretty simple. I implemented it a long time ago in assem...

Oh, one more thing, are you planning a fully assembled board? I think It would be also be *very* appealing to have a PCB only or kit version. For those with the skills, it always feel more likes its yours when you assembled it yourself! Yeah, I was pretty much planning on all SMT (actives and passi...

Did you actually try your solution with an AD725 to generate images? Indeed if it does not cause any video issues, I would prefer this approach since it's less components. I design a lot of stuff for arcade style video games and have used the technique on a few designs. I've usually got ~5 bits per...

Instead of the discrete R2R style DAC feeding the AD725 we can just select single resistors with the proper ratios. http://www.embeddedengineeringllc.com/UZEBOX/UZE_easy_color.PNG Cuts the resistor count down to about half. I a...
