Description FLI8538
1 Description
The FLI8538 offers high integration for advanced applications of Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and
Picture-by-Picture (PBP) with an integrated video decoder and a 3D comb filter. The
FLI8538 can power up to 1080p displays with the proven DCDi Cinema technology.
Special performance features such as the Faroudja DCDi Cinema video format converter,
10-bit performance in the device, and the Advanced Color Management (3D) provide
exceptional video quality. The video quality level that was exclusive to Faroudja® Home
Theater Systems is now available in a single-chip solution.
The FLI8538 also comprises an integrated Analog Front End (AFE) that includes triple
ADCs and a cross-point switch. The flexible AFE ensures simple PCB design with direct
connections to TV tuners and input video connectors. Thus, the FLI8538, for a single LCD
TV chassis, is able to support worldwide standards. The only requirements for regional
variations are connectors and firmware changes.
The integrated VBI dataslicer and decoder eliminates the need for external components
resulting in significant cost reduction. The FLI8538 supports many worldwide VBI standards
for applications of Teletext, Closed Captioning, V-Chip, and other VBI services.
The FLI8538 can also be used as part of a digital TV solution that requires the proven
Faroudja DCDi Cinema video performance. An embedded microprocessor and a versatile
OSD in a single device will facilitate rapid development of a reliable and attractive product.
The FLI8538 utilizes the common Cortez family firmware for easy migration when moving
across different hardware platforms within this family.
