| CHIPIDEA announces a compact Video Analog Front End for Standard Video, now also available in SMIC |
MIPSABG Chipidea, Lda. offers a very
compact Analog Front End (AFE) IP for interfacing Analog
Std. Video signals to Video Decoders. The AFE, available
in TSMC and now in SMIC, has been in the market since 2003.
Silicon Achievements ...and adequate linearity for the application: 
Application
For SoC integration, CHIPIDEA offers a wide range of Analog-Digital Interface Systems for Audio, Video, Multimedia, Data-Communications and Connectivity, including Power and Clock Management functions. |
Brief Description • Composite Video • S-Video, or • Component Video The CI7156xa (TSMC) is in production in a customer SOC. The CI7713kg (SMIC) is now in Silicon. Each channel includes a Video Clamping circuit, a combined Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) and Sample-and-Hold (S/H), and a 10-bit A/D converter. To handle component Video, YCrCb or YPrPb, a multiplexer accepts the two chroma signals that share the same ADC.
