Abstract :
This paper presents the next generation of a low cost, high performance single-chip upconverter solution for flicker-free TV. This chip has been designed in a 0.18 /spl mu/m copper eDRAM technology. All processing stages between tuner output (CVBS) and RGB processor input are now integrated, requiring only a few external components. Applying a newly developed digital clock concept all clocks both of locked and unlocked types are derived from the same source. This increases flexibility and reliability by saving analog PLLs. The authors also describe the data processing with respect to the new concept.
