DescriptionThe 
®
ES3890 single-chip Video CD (VCD) processor is the latest innovation of ESS's family of VCD chips for VCD players. The ES3890 is based on the ESS Programmable Multimedia Processor (PMP) architecture consisting of a 32-bit video controller and a 64-bit video processor and it integrates the TV-encoder, thus eliminating the need for a VCD companion chip.
The ES3890 integrates an audio ADC for microphone inputs, two video DACs for Composite and S-video outputs, and digital echo circuitry. With , VCD player design and board layout become simpler, the VCD system cost is much reduced, and it offers a very flexible design configuration for 512 kB or 2 MB system RAM.
The ES3890 performs all of the functions such as video filtering, NTSC/PAL conversion, audio and video error concealment, and picture zoom in/out up to 4x magnification. It supports On Screen-Display (OSD) with 4 colors in 8 degrees of transparency, Karaoke, and VCD 2.0 Playback Control (PBC).
Features in the ES3890 solution include: a 7-band audio graphic equalizer display with five pre-configured settings and environment effects, Karaoke voice recording for sing-along, and Karaoke scoring.
The ES3890 also offers the ESS SmartBright™ movie brightness feature, the ESS SmartColor™ color balancing feature, as well as the Kodak® Picture CD and Fujicolor® CD JPEG photo viewing features.
The ESS SmartBright™ feature allows the brightness level of VCD movies being played back to be adjusted in real time while the ESS SmartColor feature allows the skin color of JPEG photos being viewed to be enhanced. Other features found with the ES3890 include support for CD+G Karaoke, CD-Text, and Windows™ Media Audio (WMA) decoding and playback.
The ES3890 is available in an industry-standard 128-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) device package
