BT866KPF – TBC

The BT866KPF is a discontinued Conexant (now Synaptics) video encoder/decoder IC, specifically a member of the CX258xx family. Functionally, it integrates analog video and audio inputs with a digital video output interface. The “KPF” suffix likely denotes a specific package type, potentially a PQFP (Plastic Quad Flat Pack), though exact dimensions are unavailable without further documentation. The device’s primary application was in video capture cards and similar devices requiring real-time analog-to-digital conversion of composite, S-Video, or component video signals. The “NOT RoHS COMP.” designation indicates the device contains lead or other restricted substances exceeding the limits defined by the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, making it unsuitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance. Given its age and discontinuation, design considerations should focus on sourcing alternative, RoHS-compliant video encoder/decoder solutions.
