Introduction

The entire video processing and controlling for a color TV has been developed on a single chip in 0.8µ CMOS technology. Modular design and submicron technology allow the economic integration of features in all classes of TV sets.

Open architecture is the key word to the new DSP generation. Flexible standard building blocks have been defined that offer continuity and transparency of the entire system.

One IC contains the entire video and deflection processing and builds the heart of a modern color TV. Its performance and complexity allow the user to standardize his product development. Hardware and software applications can profit from the modularity as well as manufacturing, system support or maintenance. The main features are:

– low cost, high performance

– all digital video processing

– multi-standard color decoder PAL/NTSC/SECAM

– 3 composite, 1 S–VHS input

– integrated high-quality AD/DA converters

– sync and deflection processing

– luminance and chrominance features, e.g. peaking, color transient improvement

– programmable RGB matrix

– various digital interfaces

– embedded RISC controller (80 MIPS)

– one crystal, few external components

– single power supply 5 V

– 0.8µ CMOS Technology

– 68-pin PLCC or 64-pin Shrink DIL Package
