DRAM. This technique allows the AViA-9600 to support all
standard remote control protocols and IR codes. The IR trans-
mitter generates modulated carrier pulse sequences similar to
those produced by universal remote control units. This design
allows the implementation of a "learning remote" without the
need for a VCR IR code database.
The IrDA port supports Infrared Device Architecture-compliant
devices such as keyboards to communicate with the set-top
box.
The pulse-width modulator (PWM) allows the board designer
to control a variety of external devices, or to support clock
recovery.
The IDC interface supports an I
2
C-compatible bus. It allows
background communications between the various components
in the system. The IDC bus is a simple, two-wire medium for
bi-directional, inter-device communications. The two signals,
Clock and Data, are common to every device connected to the
bus. E ach device has a unique address and can act as either
a transmitter or a receiver.
The UAR Ts implement standard bi-directional, full-duplex
asynchronous serial communication with external devices at
up to 115 Kbps. The UAR Ts are implemented with hardware
handshake (flow control).
The SPI is a 3-wire bi-directional synchronous serial interface.
It allows the AViA-9600 to control devices such as NIM, audio
DACs and certain front-end loaders for combo DVD/ STB
designs.
The AViA-9600 also supports a number of programmable
GPIO connections for LE Ds, buttons, etc.
2.12 DENC
The AViA-9600 includes an internal DE NC (Digital Video
E ncoder) with the following key features:
Six DACs
· One for Composite Video (CVBS)
· Two for S-Video (Y/ C)
· Three for RGB or YPrPb
NTSC, PAL, and SE CAM formats
Drive double-terminated loads (0 to 1.3 volts into 37.5 ohms)
Full SCAR T support
DVB Teletext (WST), Closed Caption, E xtended Data
Service (E DS) and V-chip data insertion
VBI pass-through
Macrovision copy protection
The DE NC uses the same timing as the graphics subsystem.
The AViA-9600 can also be used with an external DE NC. In
such a case, the internal DE NC can be used as a VCR video
interface that allows users to record programs without
graphic overlay.
