DW5457 - AE1
The DW5457-AE1 is a single chip teletext decoder for decoding World System Teletext data as well as Video
Programming System(VPS), Program Delivery Control(PDC), and Wide Screen Signalling(WSS) data used for
PALplus transmissions(line 23).
Furthermore, the device provides an integrated C500 based general-purpose, fully 8051-compatible microcontroller
with television specific hardware features. The on-chip display unit for displaying
¡ '
Level 1.5'teletext data can also be
used for customer defined on-screen displays. Up to 10 display pages are available internally.
The DW 5457-AE1 contains a slicer for VPS, WSS, PDC, and TTX, an accelerating acquisition hardware modul, a
display generator for " Level 1.5 " TTX data, and an 8bit microcontroller running at 250 ns cycle time(min.). The
controller with dedicated hardware guarantees flexibility, does most of the internal processing of TTX acquisition,
transfers data to/from the external memory interface and receives/transmits data via I2C-firmware user-interface. The
slicer combined with dedicated hardware stores TTX data in a VBI buffer of 764Byte. The microcontroller firmware
performs all the acquisition tasks(hamming-and parity-checks, page search and evaluation of header control bits) once
per field. Additionally, the firmware can provide high-end Teletext-features like Packet-26-handling, FLOF, TOP(in 8/10sheet for details).
