Description FLI8638
1 Description
The FLI8638 offers high integration for advanced applications of Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and
Picture-by-Picture (PBP). Two triple ADCs and an integrated video decoder with 3D comb
filters complemented by true 10-bit performance provide the highest quality picture for a
two-channel application.
Special performance features such as the Faroudja DCDi Cinema video format converter,
blue stretch, DDR memory with a read-write picture capacity data of 10 bits per pixel, and
the most flexible picture sharpening system in one device provide unparalleled performance.
The video quality level that was exclusive to Faroudja Home Theater Systems is now
available in a single-chip solution.
The FLI8638 also comprises an integrated Analog Front-End (AFE) that includes two 10-bit
ADCs, an integrated analog multiplexer, and a Faroudja Intellicomb™ 3D video decoder.
The flexible AFE ensures simple PCB design with direct connections to TV tuners and input
video connectors. Thus, the FLI8638, for a single LCD TV chassis, is able to support
worldwide standards. For regional variations, only a connector and firmware change are
required.
The integrated VBI dataslicer and decoder remove the need for external components
resulting in significant cost reduction. The FLI8638 supports many worldwide VBI standards
for applications of Teletext, Closed Captioning, V-Chip, and other VBI services.
An embedded microprocessor and a versatile OSD in a single device will facilitate rapid
development of a reliable and attractive product. The FLI8638 utilizes the common Cortez
family firmware making migration easy and effortless across different hardware platforms
within this family.
