The MN2WS0025 is a single-chip HDTV system LSI intended for use in DTV and STB applications in the United States, Japan, and Europe. This chip can be used to design a very low-cost yet highly featured product. With the built-in CableCARD™ interface, the MN2WS0025 directly supports U.S. Plug-and-Play/OpenCable™.

MN2WS0025 FEATURES

■ Plug-and-Play/OpenCable™ and DVB ready with a onchip CableCARD™ interface and Common Interface.

■ Reference design available including OpenCable™ software stacks.

■ Video input for ITU-R BT.656 format.

■ Video scaling and aspect conversion.

■ Unified Memory Architecture. Main memory is DDR333 or DDR400 SDRAM with capacity from 128 Mbits to 2 Gbits.

■ NAND flash memory interface (8- and 16-bit) that supports ECC calculation and error detection.

■ Compact BGA package, 23 mm2, with maximum power consumption of only 2 W.

■ 32-bit RISC CPU delivers 200 MIPS and makes efficient use of system resources by using variable-length instructions.

■ Transport decoder can demultiplex one stream from up to 3 sources; 48 PID filters, 40 section filters, supports partial TS output.

■ Conditional access support: DES-ECB for Plug-andPlay/OpenCable™, Multi2 descrambler for Japanese satellite, and DVB common descrambler for Europe.

■ Available 2-channel audio digital input with synchronization to video signal output.

■ Video and audio decoding for MPEG1, MPEG2 (MP@HL, MP@ML, SP@ML, MP@LL), AAC, and Dolby® Digital (AC-3).

MN2WS0025 BENEFITS

■ Built-in CableCARD™ interface reduces system cost.

■ Complete hardware and software design package dramatically reduces time-to-market.

■ Optional software modules support a variety of DTV functions including the CableCARD™ stack for Plugand-Play/OpenCable™, DTV closed captioning, and channel map database.

■ Development support and access to Panasonic Semiconductor’s “customer room.” Available source feeds for ATSC, NTSC, and both Motorola and SA headends. Also available are HPNX™ verification tools required to test Plug-and-Play/OpenCable™ compliance and Sarnoff bitstreams to test MPEG and PSIP compliance.

■ Reference design comes complete with:

❏ Schematics and Gerber files

❏ Bill of materials (BOM)
