TW9900
Low Power NTSC/PAL/SECAM Video Decoder with VBI Slicer
DATA SHORT
To request the full datasheet, please visit www.intersil.com/products/TW9900
The TW9900 is a low power NTSC/PAL/SECAM video decoder
chip that is designed for portable applications. It consumes
less than 100mW in typical composite input applications. The
available power-down mode further reduces the power
consumption. It uses the 1.8V for both analog and digital
supply voltage and 3.3V for I/O power. A single 27MHz crystal
is all that is needed to decode all analog video standards.
The video decoder decodes the baseband analog CVBS or
S-video signals into digital 8-bit 4:2:2 YCbCr for output. It
consists of analog front-end with input source selection,
variable gain amplifier and analog-to-digital converters, Y/C
separation circuit, multi-standard color decoder (PAL BGHI,
PAL M, PAL N, combination PAL N, NTSC M, NTSC 4.43 and
SECAM) and synchronization circuitry. The Y/C separation is
done with high quality adaptive 4H comb filter for reduced
cross color and cross luminance. The advanced
synchronization processing circuitry can produce stable
pictures for a non-standard signal as well as a weak signal. The
output of the decoder is line-locked and formatted to the ITU-R
656 output with embedded sync.
The TW9900 also includes circuits to detect and process
vertical blanking interval (VBI) signal. It slices and processes
VBI data for output through video bus. Some information can
also be alternatively retrieved through the host interface. It
also detects copy-protected signal according to Macrovision
standard including AGC and color stripe pulses.
A 2-wire serial host interface is used to simplify system
integration. All the functions can be controlled through this
interface.
