MB86H20

This MB86H20 is an integrated MPEG-2 settop- box decoder which includes the hardware extensions required to support a low Bill of Material for Set-Top- Boxes and IDTVs.

Highlights of the MB86H20 include an ARC RISC CPU (@130.5MHz), two transport stream demultiplexers with integrated DVB descramblers, a PAL/ NTSC/SECAM digital video encoder and a display controller, which overlays up to four layers of graphic data. A specially designed, shared SDRAM memory interface for the CPU and MPEG decoder connects to a single SDRAM device using either a 16 or 32-bit data bus depending on customer bandwidth requirements. The included universal processor interface allows simple connection to FLASH, hard disk drives (IDE), Common Interface and other asynchronous devices.

The MB86H20 is part of Fujitsu's MPEG decoder family, and is the successor to the MB87L2250. The SmartMPEG offers several advantages over the MB87L2250, including support for 16/32-bit SDRAM devices up to 128Mbytes, an integrated S/P-DIF interface, DPLL, and internal audio DAC's. This helps to reduce product cost by eliminating the need for external components. The SmartMPEG adds also DPLL functionality, SECAM encoding, and two Smart-card interface to former MPEG devices.

To help our customers achieve the shortest possible timeto- market, the MB86H20 comes with the Fujitsu Driver Application Programming Interface (FAPI).

MB86H20 is a complete driver set, allowing fast and efficient customer software design. In addition, FAPI is now the standard programming interface for Fujitsu DVB components, easing migration to future devices.
