1184820 2011-03-09 23:07:00 I'm wondering if anyone here has done this or knows about these things?

Where you hook up to the CXA1145 IC and get RGB, S-Video and Composite output (instead of the standard RF)


The circuit seems very simple (See attached)

What I find odd is that the official datasheet for the CXA1145 shows the use of a 470uF capacitor, while every mod I have found on the Internet, while varied to some degree, always uses 220uF capacitors.


Clearly 220uF must work, otherwise everyone wouldn't be using them - but why don't they use the 470uF? Is it just a size\price thing? Or is the 220uF a better choice (Wouldn't be the first time a datasheet was wrong)
