What this video clock generator is and where it fits
The DP8531V is a video clock generator from the * series, designed to produce the precise timing signals needed for video encoding, decoding, and display synchronization. It belongs to the class of clock-generation ICs that take a reference oscillator or crystal input and synthesize the multiple clock frequencies required by video standards such as NTSC, PAL, or digital video interfaces. This part is typically found in broadcast equipment, video capture cards, set-top boxes, and surveillance DVRs where pixel-accurate clocking is non-negotiable.
Key characteristics that affect your BOM
No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window has been announced for this part. A critical BOM flag: the DP8531V is RoHS non-compliant. If your assembly line or end-product requires RoHS compliance (e.g., for EU market sale), this part will need either an exemption or a dedicated leaded-process production run. For repair, retrofit, or legacy-support builds where RoHS is not mandated, this is not an issue. The part is — loose units rather than tape-and-reel. This suits hand-assembly, prototyping, or low-volume production, but it is not the format for high-speed pick-and-place lines. If you need tape-and-reel for automated assembly, confirm with your distributor whether a reeled variant exists or if a re-reeling service is available.
Sourcing and availability
For the most current pricing and availability, submit an RFQ — lead times and stock levels are confirmed at quote time. This part is not subject to last-time-buy constraints or allocation pressures typical of end-of-life components.
