ES4408FD
DVD Processor
Product Brief
DESCRIPTION
The ES4408FD processor prov ides a single- chip solu tion
for a Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) player that integrates
MPEG video decoding , DVD system naviga tion, Content
Scrambling System (CSS) protection, and both Dolby™
Digital (AC-3), Digital Theater Sy stem (DTS), and MPEG
audio decoding. The fully programmable ES4408FD offers
the best feature set in comparison to any currently existing
DVD processor. The ES4408FD includes a glueless
interface to various per ipheral compo nents, making it the
most cost effective solution in its class with an integration
level and quality that set new benchmarks.
The ES4408FD DVD processor is capable of decoding
Dolby™ Digital (AC-3), DTS an d MPEG audio up to 7.1
channels simulta neou sl y w ith M PE G -1 or M PE G -2 vi deo .
For embedded applications, the internal 32-bit RISC
processor of the ES4408FD can be used in place of a
microcontroller to pr ovide all system contr ol, DVD s ys tem
navigation, CSS decryption, and many other features. Onchip, multi-tap filters provide arbitrary scaling with state of
the art SmartScale™ technology useful for video
standards conversion. SmartStream™ technology from
ESS provides video er ror concealment and video postprocessing, leading to the highest playability and video
quality. The ES4408FD also supports both letterbox and
pan and scan displays, DV D subpictur e overlay, and OnScreen Display.
The ES4408FD provides a glueless 8/16-bit parallel
interface to many DVD se rvo/loaders . It connec ts directly
with 8/16-bit ROM and 16-bit SDRAM/EDO memories. An
8-bit YUV video interface supports many TV encoders.
General purpose auxiliary pins are provided to control
various peripheral devices. A standard I
2
S interface
supports popular audio DACs and ADCs. The ES 440 8FD
also features a direct S/PDIF output.
The media bitstream from a DVD disc is passed to the
ES4408FD through a 8-bit/16-bit parallel host interface.
The ES4408FD parses the system layer and
demultiplexes the audio and video streams. Audio is
decoded and passed through the I
2
S audio serial bus to an
external audio DAC for audio playbac k. Video is decode d
and output as YUV pixels to an NTSC or PAL video
encoder. System control and housekeeping functions
(keypad and remote control) are also provided on-chip.
The ES4408FD is available in an industry-standard 208pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP).
