will output a video signal which conforms to the
analog video specifications for NTSC and PAL. No
external buffers are necessary, the ouputs can di-
rectly drive a television input.
Note
that for power dissipation purposes it is not
always possible to have all the 6 DACs active at the
same time. Table 8 shows the maximum allowed
active DACs depending on the power supply and
low/high impedance modes. If less than 6 DACs
are allowed to be active the other ones
must
be
power down (see CONTROL_4 register).

PROGRAMMING
Host Control Interface
The CS4954/5 host control interface can be config-
ured for I
2
C or 8-bit parallel operation. The
CS4954/5 will default to I
2
C operation when the
RD and WR pins are both tied low at power up. The
RD and WR pins are active for 8-bit parallel oper-
ation only.
8.1.1. I
2
C Interface
The CS4954/5 provides an I
2
C interface for access-
ing the internal control and status registers. Exter-
nal pins are a bidirectional data pin (SDA) and a
serial input clock (SCL). The protocol follows the
I
2
C specifications. A complete data transfer is
shown in Figure 26. Note that this I
2
C interface will
work in Slave Mode only - it is not a bus master.
SDA and SCL are connected via an external pull-
up resistor to a positive supply voltage. When the
bus is free, both lines are high. The output stages of
devices connected to the bus must have an open-
drain or open-collector in order to perform the
wired-AND function. Data on the I

C bus can be
