Introduction
MPEG-2 dual decoders and H.264 decoder
Fujitsu’s new multi-standard decoders include the necessary functionality for TVs and STBs to process SD digital broadcasts, including
two (dual) MPEG-2 decoders and one H.264 decoder. The dual MPEG-2 decoders enable the processing of two video streams that can
be used in digital video recorders (DVR) with twin tuners. It also allows viewing of two programs at the same time with picture-in-picture,
and is suited to DVRs with twin tuners.
Functions necessary for processing SD broadcasts integrated on a single chip
The devices integrate into a single chip a 202.5MHz ARC Tangent-A4 CPU together with the necessary video and audio decode
functions, and screen display functionality needed to receive digital broadcast. This enables easy system creation by customers.
Small form-factor necessary for portable devices
Using proprietary H.264 decoder technology, the power consumption for the H.264 decoder is reduced to a low level. The MB86H01
series offers a 27 x 27mm package (PBGA 256-pin), as well as a small 10 x 10mm package (FBGA 240-pin) suited for use in portable or
small form-factor devices. A high speed USB 2.0 OTG controller is also integrated, providing excellent connectivity to external devices,
such as digital cameras.
Succession to existing SmartMPEG series architecture
The new devices have package and pin compatibility with the existing SmartMPEG-C series, as well as maintaining architectural
compatibility. This enables existing SmartMPEG users to easily upgrade or develop their systems.
DVB SD Set-Top-Box System Configuration
The MB86H01 is an advanced set-top-box decoder designed to meet the needs of tomorrow’s set-top-box market. This LSI
supports the Digital Broadcasting (DVB) standard adopted in many countries in Europe, Asia and others, with the advanced
features to support multi-standard decoding of a H.264 and two MPEG-2 decoders integrated into a single chip. This LSI has a
202.5MHz ARC Tangent-A4 CPU inside as well as video/audio decoder function, and other functions needed to receive digital
broadcasts.
This LSI is suitable for various applications such as SD set-top-box or iDTV for H.264 broadcasting regions, PVR applications
with two MPEG-2 decoders.
The MB86H01 comes with the Fujitsu Driver Application Programming Interface (FAPI) to help customers achieve the shortest
possible development cycle. FAPI is a complete driver set allowing fast and efficient customer software design
