The MN2WS0025 is a single-chip HDTV system LSI intended for use in DTV and STB applications in the United States, Japan, and Europe. This chip can be used to design a very low-cost yet highly featured product. With the built-in CableCARD? interface, the MN2WS0025 directly supports U.S. Plug-and-Play/OpenCable?.

MN2WS0025 FEATURES

■ Plug-and-Play/OpenCable? and DVB ready with a onchip CableCARD? interface and Common Interface.

■ Reference design available including OpenCable? software stacks.

■ Video input for ITU-R BT.656 format.

■ Video scaling and aspect conversion.

■ Unified Memory Architecture. Main memory is DDR333 or DDR400 SDRAM with capacity from 128 Mbits to 2 Gbits.

■ NAND flash memory interface (8- and 16-bit) that supports ECC calculation and error detection.

■ Compact BGA package, 23 mm2, with maximum power consumption of only 2 W.

■ 32-bit RISC CPU delivers 200 MIPS and makes efficient use of system resources by using variable-length instructions.

■ Transport decoder can demultiplex one stream from up to 3 sources; 48 PID filters, 40 section filters, supports partial TS output.

■ Conditional access support: DES-ECB for Plug-andPlay/OpenCable?, Multi2 descrambler for Japanese satellite, and DVB common descrambler for Europe.

■ Available 2-channel audio digital input with synchronization to video signal output.

■ Video and audio decoding for MPEG1, MPEG2 (MP@HL, MP@ML, SP@ML, MP@LL), AAC, and Dolby? Digital (AC-3).

MN2WS0025 BENEFITS

■ Built-in CableCARD? interface reduces system cost.

■ Complete hardware and software design package dramatically reduces time-to-market.

■ Optional software modules support a variety of DTV functions including the CableCARD? stack for Plugand-Play/OpenCable?, DTV closed captioning, and channel map database.

■ Development support and access to Panasonic Semiconductor’s “customer room.” Available source feeds for ATSC, NTSC, and both Motorola and SA headends. Also available are HPNX? verification tools required to test Plug-and-Play/OpenCable? compliance and Sarnoff bitstreams to test MPEG and PSIP compliance.
