Digital video disc or DVD as its commonly known has replaced VHS tapes, audio CDs and CD-ROMs. DVD technology is much faster and provides greater storage capacity than CD technology. DVD players play back data from a disc, decode audio and digital video data and transmit this data to TVs and stereo systems.
In a typical DVD player shown in Figure 1, an MPEG video decoder and audio encoder is used to decode and format the compressed data and transmit this data into audio and video signals that are output to TVs. The microcontroller performs audio/video decoding functions including disc reader and control operation. The DVD player connects to other electronic devices using network interface ICs such as IEEE 1394 and Ethernet.
The MachXO2™ family is designed to offer an unprecedented mix of low cost, low power and high functional integration. Combining an optimized look-up table (LUT) architecture with 65-nm embedded flash process technology, MachXO2 devices provide designers the benefits of lower cost, reduced power consumption, and increased system integration in a small footprint offering a “Do-it-All PLD” for high volume, cost sensitive, low-power applications.
Designed for low-cost and ultra low power, Lattice’s ispMACH 4000ZE CPLDs can be used for keypad monitoring, LED control, and voltage level shifting.
The MachXO™ family of non-volatile, infinitely reconfigurable PLDs is designed for applications traditionally implemented using CPLDs or low-capacity FPGAs. Combining an optimized look-up table (LUT) architecture with low-cost embedded flash process technology, the instant-on, easy to use MachXO PLDs are ideal for general purpose I/O expansion, control, bus bridging and power-up management functions.
