RAA278842, RAA278843
LCD Video Processor with Decoder, LVDS, TTL, MIPI, Image Enhancement,
and Video Integrity Diagnostic
The RAA278842
integrated LCD video processors that incorporate
many of the features required to create a cost
effective multipurpose LCD display system. These
include a high quality 2D comb NTSC/PAL/SECAM
video decoder that supports single-ended or
differential composite video inputs, two TTL digital
input interfaces, two LVDS Open LDI input interfaces,
a MIPI-CSI2 input interface, and an EEPROM/SPI
interface. The outputs include a dual channel LVDS
Open LDI panel interface and a separate MIPI-CSI2
output in the RAA278842 or a pseudo BT.656 output
in the RAA278843. Both devices can support input
resolutions up to 1080p and can drive LCD panels up
to 1920x1080. The video processing capabilities
include arbitrary H/V scaling using a high quality
scaler and de-interlacer engine, panoramic scaling,
image mirroring, image adjustment and enhancement
using 10-bit per color processing, black and white
stretch, a versatile OSD, and much more. In addition,
the RAA278842 and RAA278843 have a multi-feature
image integrity diagnostic capability to dynamically
determine if the input video is corrupted. The feature
set and versatility of this device makes it an ideal
solution for automotive LCD display applications.
