GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Application Environment
The Back END IC (abbreviated as BENDIC) is designed to cooperate with an 8051 type of microprocessor, the ECO3
(SAA4951) memory controller and Texas Instruments TMS4C2970 memories, but other configurations may be
applicable. Fig.1 shows the block diagram of the feature box. The nominal clock frequency of the IC is 27 MHz or 32 MHz,
with a maximum of 36 MHz.
The system supports the digital Y/U/V bus for selection of different video signal sources. The Y/U/V bus and the BENDIC
data input are fully synchronous with respect to the clock signal. A line reference signal BLN for timing control purposes
has to be provided by external elements which always controls the system timing, independent of active signal sources
or desired functions.
Analog Characteristics
The BENDIC contains 3 independent, high speed digital to analog converters for luminance and colour difference signal
processing and conversion. The resolution of the two DA converters for the colour difference signals is 8 bit. The
luminance peaking up to 6 dB at high frequencies widens the resolution of the luminance channel. To avoid aliasing
effects due to time discrete amplitude limiting the resolution of 9-bit is offered for the luminance conversion. All output
stages provide high performance output stages for driving lines with low impedance line termination.
