The MSD229EL 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 decoder with analog audio outputs that are designed to support ATSC HD/SDTV programs while handling
ATSC CC and EPG. With additional software support, the MSD229EL can be used in DVB-T standard areas such as
part of Asia, Africa, and Australia. Furthermore, it is also possible to decode JPEG, MP3 formats from external
sources such as USB interfaces.

For digital TV application, the MSD229EL comprises an MPEG-2 transport processor with advanced section
filtering capability, an MPEG-2 (MP@HL profile) video decoder, Dolby Digital (AC-3)/MPEG layer I and II digitalaudio decoder with analog audio outputs that are designed to support ATSC HD/SDTV programs while handling
ATSC CC and EPG. With additional software support, the MSD229EL can be used in DVB-T standard areas such as
part of Asia, Africa, and Australia. Furthermore, it is also possible to decode JPEG, MP3 formats from external
sources such as USB interfaces.
For analog TV, the MSD229EL includes NTSC/PAL/SECAM multi-standard video decoder comprising a 3D 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 MSD229EL fulfills
all requirements in advanced DTV sets. To further reduce system costs, the MSD229EL also integrates intelligentpower management control capability for green-mode requirements and spread-spectrum support for EMI
management.
