The MSD118C is a highly integrated controller IC for LCD/PDP DTV applications with resolutions up to full-HD
(1920 x 1080). 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.
audio outputs that are designed to support ATSC HD/SDTV programs while handling ATSC CC and EPG. With
additional software support, the MSD118C can be used in DVB-T standard areas such as part of Asia, Africa,
and Australia. Furthermore, it is also possible to decode MPEG-4, JPEG, MP3 formats from external sources
such as USB interfaces.

such as USB interfaces.
For analog TV, the MSD118C includes NTSC/PAL/SECAM multi-standard video decoder comprising a 3-D motion
adaptive comb filter and time-based correction, and a BTSC/A2/EIA-J audio decoder to support worldwidetelevision 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 USB 2.0 host controller, UART, IR, SPI, I2C, and PWM, the MSD118C fulfills
all requirements in advanced DTV sets. To further reduce system costs, the MSD118C also integratesintelligent power management control capability for green-mode requirements and spread-spectrum support for
