Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe today announced the launch of its next-generation high-definition (HD) multi-standard video decoder solution. The MB86H61 is a fully featured HD decoder SoC incorporating all the processing functions required by next generation HDTV receivers including advanced security for CI+ and embedded CAS and a low-power stand-by controller - ideal for set-top boxes, PVR and car TV receivers. It incorporates the high performance ARM processor 1176JZF-S featuring an integrated memory management unit (MMU), a floating point co-processor, ARM's Jazelle technology and Thumb instruction set extensions for compact code. The ARM11 provides all the processing MB86H61 HD MUL TI-STANDARD DECODER Highly integrated SoC for HDTV receivers power needed to enable a whole host of middleware software.
This cost-effective, low power, high definition media processor is able to decode MPEG-2, H.264/AVC, AVS and VC-1 compressed video up to HD resolution. HD video can be provided either via the copy-protected HDMI output, analogue component outputs or the digital RGB interface. The chip features a de-interlacer for converting interlaced standard definition video signals up to 1080p50/60. Simultaneously, the video signal can be scaled-down and offered in SD resolution. The integrated audio processor can decode a wide variety of audio standards required by the broadcast market such as MPEG-1/2 Layer 1, 2, 3, MPEG-4 HE-AAC. Furthermore, support for Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus is planned. Available audio outputs are four I2S, S/P-DIF and stereo analogue outputs.
Advanced connectivity is provided by two USB 2.0 interfaces, a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet MAC and a SATA II interface for connecting an internal or external HDD. Each USB controller can operate either as host or function. Integrated peripherals include two serial ports, two ISO7816 smart card interfaces, two I2C controllers, front-panel and keypad controller, IR receiver, two SPI outputs, four PWM outputs and 96 GPIOs. The number of usable GPIOs depends on the system configuration since they are shared among other I/O functions.
