FEATURES
General features

• Single external Synchronous DRAM organized
as1M×16 interfacing at 81 MHz. Due to efficient
memory use in MPEG decoding, more than 1 Mbit
available for graphics

wide. Data input rate: ≤9 Mbytes/s in byte mode.
Accompanying strobe signals distinguish between audio
and video data

90 kHz can be synchronized via CPU port. All required
decoding and presentation clocks are generated
internally

CPU enables optimized partitioning of memory for
different tasks

decoding/display processes

• Stand-alone mode can be used by applications requiring
still pictures manipulations

multiplexed bus

• Horizontal and vertical pan and scan allows the
extraction of a window from the coded picture

• Flexible horizontal scaling from 0.5 up to 4 allows easy
aspect ratio conversion including support
for 2.21 : 1 aspect ratio movies. In case of shrinking an
anti-aliasing pre-filter is applied

• Vertical scaling with fixed factors 0.5, 1 or 2. Factor 0.5,
realizing picture shrink. Factor 2 can be used for
up-conversion of pictures with 288 (240) lines or less.

• Vertical down-scaling with 0.75 factor, realizing letter
box conversion

• Horizontal and vertical scaling can be combined to scale
pictures to
space for graphic applications like electronic program
guides

• Non full screen MPEG pictures will be displayed in a box
of which position and background colour are adjustable
by the external microcontroller

• Nominal video input buffer size for ml@mp 2.7 Mbit

• Video output may be slaved to internally (master)

generated or externally (slave) supplied HV
synchronization signals. The position of active video is
programmable. Display phase is not affected by MPEG
timebase changes.

Graphics features

• Graphics are presented in boxes independent of video
format

• Screen arrangement of boxes is determined by display
list mechanism which allows for multiple boxes,
background loading, fast switching, scrolling and fading
of regions

• Support of 2, 4, 8-bit/pixel in fixed bit maps format or
coded in accordance to the DVB variable/run length
standard for region based graphics

• Display colours are obtained via colour look up tables.
CLUT output is YUVT at 8-bit for each signal component
thus enabling 16 M different colours and 6-bit for T
which gives 64 mixing levels with video,
(T = transparency).

• Bit-map table mechanism to specify a sub set of entries
if the CLUT is larger than required by the coded bit
pattern. Supported bit-map tables are 16 to 256,
4 to 256 and 4 to 16.

• Graphics boxes may not overlap vertically. If 256 entry
CLUT has to be down loaded, a vertical separation of
1 line is mandatory.

• Optimized memory utilization in MPEG video decoding
allows for a storage capacity of 1.2 Mbit for graphics bit
maps. Flexibility in memory control enables larger
capacity in a lot of applications. Moreover variable
length/run length encoding makes better use of
available memory capacity for graphics bit maps thus
making full screen graphics at 8-bit/pixel feasible.

• Fast CPU access (9 Mbytes/s) enables full 1.2 Mbit bit
map update within 20 ms

• Internal support for fast block moves in external SDRAM

• Graphics mechanism can be used for signal generation

in the vertical blanking interval. Useful for teletext, wide
screen signalling, closed caption, etc.

• Support for a single down loadable cursor of 1k pixel
with programmable shape. Supported shapes are
8 × 128 pixels, 16 × 64 pixels, 32 × 32 pixels,
64 × 16 pixels and 128 × 8 pixels.

• Cursor colours obtained via 4 entry CLUT with YUVT at
6,4,4 respectively 2 bits. Mixing of cursor with
video + graphics in 4 levels.

• Cursor can be moved freely across the screen without
overlapping restrictions.

SOLDERING
Introduction

There is no soldering method that is ideal for all IC
packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when
through-hole and surface mounted components are mixed
on one printed-circuit board. However, wave soldering is
not always suitable for surface mounted ICs, or for
printed-circuits with high population densities. In these
situations reflow soldering is often used.

This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology.
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in
our

“Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages”

(order code 9398 652 90011).

Reflow soldering

Reflow soldering techniques are suitable for all QFP
packages.

The choice of heating method may be influenced by larger
plastic QFP packages (44 leads, or more). If infrared or
vapour phase heating is used and the large packages are
not absolutely dry (less than 0.1% moisture content by
weight), vaporization of the small amount of moisture in
them can cause cracking of the plastic body. For details,
refer to the Drypack information in the

“Data Handbook
IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages; Section: Packing
Methods”

Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of
fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be applied
to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement.

Several methods exist for reflowing; for example,
infrared/convection heating in a conveyor type oven.
Throughput times (preheating, soldering and cooling) vary
between 50 and 300 seconds depending on heating
method. Typical reflow peak temperatures range from
215 to 250 °C.

.

Wave soldering

Wave soldering is not recommended for QFP packages.
This is because of the likelihood of solder bridging due to
closely-spaced leads and the possibility of incomplete
solder penetration in multi-lead devices.

CAUTION

Wave soldering is NOT applicable for all QFP
packages with a pitch (e) equal or less than 0.5 mm.

If wave soldering cannot be avoided, for QFP
packages with a pitch (e) larger than 0.5 mm, the
following conditions must be observed:

• A double-wave (a turbulent wave with high upward

pressure followed by a smooth laminar wave)
soldering technique should be used.

• The footprint must be at an angle of 45° to the board

direction and must incorporate solder thieves
downstream and at the side corners.

During placement and before soldering, the package must
be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. The adhesive can be
applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the
adhesive is cured.

Maximum permissible solder temperature is 260 °C, and
maximum duration of package immersion in solder is
10 seconds, if cooled to less than 150 °C within
6 seconds. Typical dwell time is 4 seconds at 250 °C.

A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal
of corrosive residues in most applications.

Repairing soldered joints

Fix the component by first soldering two diagonally­opposite end leads. Use only a low voltage soldering iron
(less than 24 V) applied to the flat part of the lead. Contact
time must be limited to 10 seconds at up to 300 °C. When
using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be soldered in
one operation within 2 to 5 seconds between
270 and 320 °C.
