Following earlier market introduction
of open-foundry, silicon proven full Analog Front Ends (AFE)
for Standard Video Systems, CHIPIDEA announces a new HDTV
AFE Product Line that enhances its IP portfolio for Video
applications. These new state-of-the-art IP cores handle
most HDTV modes and also PC-Graphics applications.
 HDTV Product Line
The CI7218 is the entry-level HDTV Analog
Front End featuring:
- Triple 10-bit ADC with 80MS/s conversion rate
- Clamp circuits supporting multi-level clamping
- Fully Internal Bias and Reference generation
The enhanced CI7715 HDTV AFE features:
- The functionality of the CI7218
- PGA with 8-bit gain settings
- Full synchronism and pixel clock generation
- Supports up to eight multiplexed video sources
The flagship CI7723 is a full featured,
state-of-the-art IP core offering:
- The functionality of the CI7715
- Support of PC-Graphics application at 110MS/s

Other Video IP Cores
- CI7713kg:
10-bit, 30MHz AFE for Standard Video Systems in
SMIC
- CI7156xa:
10-bit, 30MHz AFE for Standard Video Systems in
TSMC
- CI7375tg:
210MHz AFE for PC-Graphics (Analog RGB for Flat
Panels)
When required, CHIPIDEA combines multiple AFEs into a single
IP. An example is the CI7716wg
with both an HDTV AFE and a PC-Graphics AFE. |
Brief Description
- Composite Video
- S-Video, and
- Component Video
Full synchronism processing is built-in, supporting synchronism
extraction and pixel clock generation. Each channel consists
of an ADC, a Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) and clamping.
Additional useful functions facilitate SoC integration.
All HDTV modes up to 720p and 1080i are supported. The CI7723tg
supports also PC-Graphics up to SXGA mode (60Hz)
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.
