Background information

NXP’s mainstream LCD TV system solutions TV520/32 (hybrid reception) and TV507 (analog reception) offer you an easy way to meet the demands of all European markets. Forming a common platform for hybrid and analog-only sets, they are fully pin and software compatible. Reducing the time, money and risk of developing a new product, both are available as complete, ready-to-manufacture reference designs while retaining the flexibility for product differentiation.

The TV520/32 is based on the highly integrated PNX8536 system-on-chip, which incorporates much of our successful TV810 system’s functionality into one IC. The state-of-the-art silicon front end of the TV520/32 features our new DVB channel decoder TDA10048 to ensure highly reliable, interference-free DVB reception optimized for regional requirements. The solution is also prepared for the optional silicon tuner TDA18271.

Numerous picture improvement features include:

  • 3D comb filter with auto-adaptive 2D/3D switching
  • Temporal noise reduction on SD content for enhanced sharpness
  • MPEG artifact reduction
  • 4-field MADI enhanced with edge dependent processing

For the fastest time-to-market, we also offer a system design-in toolkit (SDT). The SDT includes everything you need to support the product differentiation process and customization of items such as connector configurations, user-interface look and feel, different LCD panels and front-end components. And you can use the same developments tools, such as software debugger, for both hybrid and analog-only designs.
