- Integrated chroma decoder.
- Horizontal and vertical sync processing.
- On-chip video switch for external inputs.
- Adjustable peaking for luminance enhancement.
- Internal audio FM demodulator.
- **Power Supply:** Typically operates at 8V.
- **Package:** 52-pin DIL (Dual In-Line) or PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier).
### **Descriptions and Features:**
The TDA8360 is designed for TV applications, integrating multiple functions into a single chip to reduce external components. It supports multiple broadcast standards (PAL, SECAM, NTSC) and includes video and audio processing, sync separation, and RGB control. The IC also features an automatic fine-tuning system (AFT) and provides stable demodulation for both video and audio signals.
Its key features include:
- **Multi-standard operation** (switchable via pins or automatic detection).
- **Integrated chrominance processing** (for color decoding).
- **Luminance delay line** for improved picture quality.
- **On-chip audio FM demodulator** with mute function.
- **Low power consumption** for efficient operation.
This IC was commonly used in CRT televisions and monitors during the 1990s.
