Abstract :
A digital signal processing and memory controller very-large-scale integration (VLSI) chip is presented that provides a 100-Hz flicker-free television display. Only one controller chip with six standard dynamic random-access memories (DRAMs) are used. The video memory controller chip, fabricated in a 1.5- mu m CMOS process, works with all the common television standards, i.e. PAL, SECAM, D2-MAC, and NTSC. It also enables additional features such as still picture, multipicture-in-picture, and zoom.
