Abstract

This paper presents a system-on-a-chip (SOC) design for digital TV. The single LSI incorporates almost all essential parts such as CPU, ISO/IEC 11172/13818 system/audio/video decoders, a video post-processor, a graphics/OSD processor and a display processor. It has analog IP's inside such as video DACs, an audio PLL, and a system PLL to reduce the system-level implementation cost. Descramblers and Smart Card interface are included to support widely used conditional access systems. The video decoder can decode two video streams simultaneously. The DSP-based audio decoder can process various audio coding specifications. The functional blocks for video quality enhancement also form outstanding features of this SoC. The SoC supports world-wide major DTV services including ATSC, ARIB, DVB, and DIRECTV.
