high performance and faster time-to-market digital set-top box integrated controllers highlights single-chip solution that delivers more usable mips the ibm ? STB010XX family of digital set-top box (stb) integrated controllers provides high-performance, attractively priced, single-chip solutions for dvb and advanced television stb applications. featuring state-of-the-art ibm blue logic? technology, these integrated chips implement the powerful ibm stb architecture, which minimizes the workload of the on-chip powerpc 401? processor. this efficient design makes more mips available for interactive services, allowing manufacturers to lengthen the service life of their products. advanced on-chip communi- cation increases performance, while a unified memory architecture provides configuration flexibility. the full-featured STB010XX controllers support a wide range of applications with powerful capabilities: ? integrated powerpc 401 ? mpeg audio/video decoder ? dolby ? digital audio decoder (ibm stb0101x only) ? mpeg-2 transport demultiplexer ? on-screen display controller ? ntsc/pal digital encoder ? smart card, parallel, and serial ports advanced technology for audio, video, and graphics manufactured using ibms advanced cmos 5se (0.35- m m) process, the ibm STB010XX controllers deliver audio, video, and graphics while supporting fast response to user requests. in addition, an efficient design allows the base audio and video decoding activities to execute with minimal host processing. all STB010XX family mem- bers provide mpeg-2 audio decoding. the ibm stb0101x also offers dolby digital capabilities. the STB010XX controllers incorporate four major subsystems processor, digital audio/video, peripheral, and memory interface. the processor subsystem performs all initialization and control functions and executes required software. the powerpc 401 processor, the heart of this subsystem, offers 49.5 mhz speed and a widely adopted and scalable architecture that is supported by ibm and third-party tools. the digital audio and video subsystem delivers the high-quality video and sound that consumers expect from advanced digital television. this means that service providers can offer graphically rich user interfaces for next-generation interactive applications, such as video-on-demand, electronic program guides, and electronic commerce. key features of the digital audio and video subsystem include: ? mpeg-2 video decoder and multi-plane on-screen display (osd) provides mp@ml video playback with multi-plane osd and image scaling for sharp reso- lution and graphically rich user interfaces. ? mpeg-2 transport and dvb descrambler accepts 100 mb/s parallel (88 mb/s with descrambler) or 60 mb/s serial data, providing compatibility with a dvb synchronous parallel interface. ? mpeg-2 audio decoder provides mpeg-2 layer 1 and 2 decoding for digital sound clarity. it also features dolby digital-compliant decoding with 5.1 channel output for rich digital surround sound. (a dolby digital license is required.) ? digital encoder offers design flexib ility through ntsc/pal analog conversion, five concurrent analog video outputs, and compatibility with scart connectors. optional support for macrovision copy protection safeguards digital media. (a macrovision license is required.) ? audio pll generates all required audio clocks and automatically synchro- nizes playback. ibms attractively priced stb controllers deliver high performance in a single chip.
