Processor Solutions for Digital TVs

Overview

Today's digital TVs require significant processing capability within a manageable power budget. In addition to audio/video processing and TV tuning, connectivity within the home (content sharing) and on the web (browsing, streaming on-line content), and HD and Ultra-HD display resolutions are all being managed by processors within the DTV itself.

Highlights:

CPU & Video Engine

  • Single and multi-core ARC HS processors for high-performance processing of media rich content 
  • Real-time and application processors with MMU support for Linux

Power Management IC

  • Power- and area-efficient ARC EM4 for state machine calculations
  • Sensor & Control Subsystem integrates control & register interfaces such as ADC interface for battery monitoring

SD Card

  • ARC EM4 for power-critical, bus-powered applications 
  • Best-in-class code density reduces memory size & power
  • Fast interrupts and multiple register files for real-time response
  • Custom instruction extensions to add differentiating HW
