SoC class HDTV processor for Pan European HDTV market

SiS is sampling a new HDTV processor SiS329 for Pan European HDTV market. The SiS329 HDTV processor is a DVB-T compliant HDTV processor supporting various levels of sophisticated middle-ware including CI stack, Sunrise DVB-T, and Voyager MHEG-5, which license from Ocean Blue Software for Pan-European HDTV system application. In support of the DVB compliant CAM/CI, SiS329 HDTV processor specifically provides the Common Interface controller with 3V/5V CI bus and 3V/5V dual transport stream buses. This architecture provides a direct connection between the demodulator and the external CAM module to eliminate the extra multiplexer & the level shifters components that significantly contributes to cost reduction for an HDTV system with CI extension.

The SiS329 HDTV processor integrates the 3D Comb filter based PAL/SECAM decoder with the fast-blanking Mixer, the Multi-standard ATV sound decoder, the Transport Stream DeMux & High Definition MPEGII decoder, the Embedded audio processor with 24 bit Audio codec, the 170MHz Triple ADC, the HDMI 1.3 compliance receiver with CEC capability, and the 6th generation Digital Native Video Engine (DNVE) that ensures extraordinarily picturesque display quality. Moreover, two USB 2.0 ports with associated host controller and H/W accelerated JPEG decoding are integrated for photo-viewing function from USB storage devices.


To be compliant with Energy Star 3.0 standard, the Proactive Standby-Power Saving scheme is built-in to drill the SiS329-based system to consume only 100 mW to 150 mW in standby mode. SiS329 supports the Spread Spectrum mechanism on the dual-link LVDS bus and dual-channel DDR2 bus respectively in order to accelerate the board-level EMI-compliance convergence.

Package: 27x27mm TEBGA
Availability: Volumes in Q2, 2009.
