Palette DAC for 1600 x 1280 video paths
The TVP3020-135PCE is a palette DAC — a digital-to-analog converter that maps pixel data to analog RGB levels for CRT or LCD display controllers. It resolves 1600 x 1280 pixels, placing it in the high-resolution video DAC class for workstation graphics or medical imaging boards.
RoHS non-compliance — a sourcing gate
The TVP3020-135PCE is marked RoHS non-compliant. For BOMs that require RoHS conformance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU, this part does not meet the exemption-free standard. Lead-bearing solder finish is typical for this class of legacy-video DAC — verify your assembly's exemption allowance or plan for a lead-free equivalent if the board process requires it.
Peer comparison — DAC7750IPWP is not a substitute
The DAC7750IPWP is a 12-bit String DAC with SPI interface and current output, designed for industrial process-control loops — not a palette DAC for video. Its 25 µs settling time is three orders of magnitude slower than the pixel-rate conversion a palette DAC requires. The two parts share no pinout, no function, and no application space. Do not cross-reference them on a BOM.
Sourcing and availability
Bulk packaging — typically tube or tray — suits prototype and low-to-medium volume assembly; not intended for high-speed tape-and-reel pick-and-place without a tube feeder or tray shuttle.
