TW8804
LCD Flat Panel TV/PC Monitor Controller with built-in NTSC/PAL/SECAM
Decoder and Analog RGB/FB Input
The TW8804 LCD Flat Panel Controller is a low cost high
quality TFT panel controller with an embedded
NTSC/PAL/SECAM TV decoder. This unique level of mixed
signal integration enables the panel to be used as a
stand-alone analog TV. An integrated YPbPr/RGB component
input allows direct connection to DVD, PIP and TTX sources.
Separate digital inputs allow it to be used as a high quality
computer monitor when combined with additional ICs. It
incorporates easy-to-operate and powerful features in a single
package for LCD TV,multi-purpose LCD Monitor, Portable DVD
Players and Car Display Entertainment Systems.
The TW8804 contains all the logic required to convert
standard TV, DTV, and PC monitor signals to the digital control
and data signals required to drive various TFT panel types. It
supports TFT panel resolutions up to 1280 by 1024
(SXGA/WXGA) with either 1 or 2-pixel/clock formats.
The chip accepts CVBS (composite) analog input or S-video
analog input or YPbPr input for use as a video monitor. Up to
four physical CVBS inputs or one S-video input or one
component input can be connected synchronously with
component (RGB or YPbPr) input via fast blanking and
switched internally under external microprocessor control.
The integrated analog front-end contains six ADCs with five
clamping circuits and one Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuit
to minimize external component count. It employs a 2/4H, 5-
line adaptive comb filter and proprietary Y/C processing
technologies to produce exceptionally high quality pictures.
The chip's internal logic synchronizes the panel frame rate to
the incoming input frame rate. A high quality image-scaling
engine is used to convert the lower resolution formats or high
resolution DTV formats to the output panel resolution. An
internal de-interlacing engine also allows interlaced video to be
supported.
On Screen Display is supported through either external OSD
chip or onchip OSD RAM for maximum flexibility. A Closed
Caption decoder is built in. The TW8804 also accepts a 24 bit
digital RGB input from external PanelLinkTM receiver or ADCs
for use as computer monitor. In addition, it accepts 8/16/24
bits digital YCbCr input for use with external ADCs for use as a
DTV monitor.
The TW8804 also supports TFT panel power sequencing,
DPMS Display Power Management Signaling) signaling and
power management. The control interface is a 2-wire serial
bus interface. The TW8804 core operates at 2.5V, the IO at
3.3V and is packaged in a 160-pin PQFP package.
