GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Zilog's Z86251 StarSight Data Base Engine (DBE) is
designed to process extracted data for the StarSight
on-screen programming guide.
The Z86251 provides a number of important peripheral
functions, such as the IR Blaster to send command signals
to the VCR, and low-power management to avoid loss of
data.
■ Power-Down DRAM Data Retention
■ Infrared Transmitter Circuits for TV and VCR Control
■ CRC-32 Encoding and Decoding Logic
■ Watch-Dog Timer (WDT) for Error Recovery
■ I2C Compatible Bus for External Communication
■ Test Multiplexer for Chip Debug
■ On-Chip Crystal Oscillator
For fast memory data manipulation, the Z86251 offers
segmented base registers. The device also features
DRAM memory control and refresh logic.
The DBE is optimized to work with Zilog's Z89300 series of
TV controller devices to provide a cost-effective solution
for StarSight programming-guide data extraction and
display.
