Background information
Allowing rapid, cost-effective development of analog/digital LCD TVs, our TV520/20 and TV520/30 reference designs address the needs of the North American market in its transition from analog to digital broadcast.
The TV520 reference designs are based on our new, highly integrated System-on-Silicon IC (PNX853x). By integrating much of the proven functionality from our existing TV810 reference design into a single IC, we have significantly reduced both the size of the PCB and the total system bill of materials. The hardware works with a simplified version of the platform-level TV810 software, while re-using the field-proven, higher-level software components.
High quality viewing experience
Building on our rich portfolio of TV IP, these reference designs bring many audio/video features normally associated with high-end TV products into the mainstream arena. Advanced functionality - including MPEG artifact reduction, 2D/3D comb filtering, EDDI 2, peaking and sharpness enhancement features, combined with Auto Picture Control - ensures optimal picture quality at the right price point.
Complementing picture performance with great sound quality, the reference designs also feature advanced digital sound processing algorithms to get the most out of flat speakers, together with a range of third-party options such as Virtual Dolby., SRS TruSurround XT., Dolby Pro Logic II., BBE. and many more.
System design-in toolkit
To support the need for ever-shorter chassis development cycles, we offer the TV520/20 and TV520/30 with a System Design-in Toolkit (SDT). The SDT package includes everything needed to support customization of the reference design for product differentiation - connector configurations, UI look and feel, different LCD panels, front-end components, etc.
