MSD118B-LF MSTAR TQFP-216

The MSD118B is a highly integrated controller IC for LCD/PDP DTV applications with resolutions up to
UXGA/WSXGA+. It is configured with an integrated triple-ADC/PLL, a multi-standard TV video and audio
decoder, a motion adaptive video de-interlacer, a scaling engine, the MStarACE-3 color engine, an advanced 2D
graphics engine, a transport processor, a high-definition (HD) MPEG video decoder, a 24-bit DSP for MPEG
audio decoding, a DVI/HDCP/HDMI receiver, and a peripheral control unit providing a variety of HDTV control
functions.

The MSD118B comprises an MPEG-2 transport processor with advanced section filtering capability, an MPEG-2

(MP@HL profile) video decoder, a Dolby* Digital (AC-3)/MPEG layer I and II digital audio decoder with analog
audio outputs that are designed to support ATSC HD/SDTV programs while handling ATSC CC and EPG.

For analog TV, the MSD118B includes NTSC/PAL/SECAM multi-standard video decoder comprising time-based

correction, and a BTSC/A2/EIA-J audio decoder to support worldwide television standards. In addition, the
MStar advanced LCD TV processor enhances video quality, motion adaptive de-interlacer, picture quality
adjustment units, and MStarACE-3 color engine.

By integrating peripherals including UART, IR, SPI, I2C, and PWM, the MSD118B fulfills all requirements in

advanced DTV sets. To further reduce system costs, the MSD118B also integrates intelligent power
management control capability for green-mode requirements and spread-spectrum support for EMI
management.
