FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Block Diagram
The BENDIC will be produced in a CMOS double metal process. It is possible to feed the BENDIC with 8-bit wide
luminance and chrominance signals Y/U/V in 4:1:1 mode from the digital Y/U/V bus and to run it in a bypass mode with
Y/U/V in 4:4:4 mode without any bandwidth reduction.
The BENDIC contains the processing functions as depicted in Fig.3.
Following functions are available:
Datapath:
• 1H - 4:1:1 line memory, 852 words by 8-bits luminance + 4-bits multiplexed chrominance
• REFORMATTER to get 8-bit wide UV from the Y/U/V bus format
• MIX UV and MIX Y to interpolate between actual and 1H-delayed input signals, programmable for realization of vertical
zoom
• MEDIAN filter in luminance processing path for line flicker reduction
• MOVIE PHASE DETECT for supporting line flicker reduction control
• PEAKING for luminance channel
• UPSAMPLING and DCTI for chrominance transient improvement
• HOLD/GREY/BLANK blocks for blanking and grey level insertion
• RE PROCESSING controls read enable for first and second memory, outputs are programmable for different
applications
• Data switches for field select, mix/median select, 4:1:1/4:4:4 select
• DAC blocks for digital to analog conversion of Y, U, V video signals
• REGISTER with 3-state control for direct output of Y/U/V 1 input to memories.
Control:
• µP INTERFACE for the control of BENDIC functions, including zoom control
• TIMING CONTROL and TEST as support blocks.
All video data signal processing inside the BENDIC is phaselinear and nonrecursive (except line delay in recirculation
mode).
