Z86250

Zilog's Z86250 StarSight Data Base Engine (DBE) is designed to process extracted data for the StarSight on-screen programming guide. The device is logically equivalent to the DBE1200 for StarSight applications.

The Z86250 provides a number of important peripheral functions, such as the IR Blaster to send command signals to the VCR, and low-power management to avoid loss of data.

For fast memory data manipulation, the Z86250 offers segmented base registers. The device also features PSRAM memory control and refresh logic.The DBE is optimized to work with Zilog's Z89300 series of TV controller devices to provide a cost-effective solution for StarSight programming-guide data extraction and display.
