ES4408FD
DVD
Processor
Product Brief
DESCRIPTION
The ES4408FD processor provides a single-chip solution
for a Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) player that integrates
MPEG video decoding, DVD system navigation, Content
Scrambling System (CSS) protection, and both DolbyTM
Digital (AC-3), Digital Theater System (DTS), and MPEG
audio decoding. The fully programmable ES4408FD offers
the best feature set in comparison to any currently existing
DVD processor. The ES4408FD includes a glueless
interface to various peripheral components, making it the
most cost effective solution in its class with an integration
level and quality that set new benchmarks.
The ES4408FD DVD processor is capable of decoding
DolbyTM Digital (AC-3), DTS and MPEG audio up to 7.1
channels simultaneously with MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video.
For embedded applications, the internal 32-bit RISC
processor of the ES4408FD can be used in place of a
microcontroller to provide all system control, DVD system
navigation, CSS decryption, and many other features. On-
chip, multi-tap filters provide arbitrary scaling with state of
the art SmartScaleTM technology useful for video
standards conversion. SmartStreamTM technology from
ESS provides video error concealment and video post-
processing, leading to the highest playability and video
quality. The ES4408FD also supports both letterbox and
pan and scan displays, DVD subpicture overlay, and On-
Screen Display.
The ES4408FD provides a glueless 8/16-bit parallel
interface to many DVD servo/loaders. It connects directly
with 8/16-bit ROM and 16-bit SDRAM/EDO memories. An
8-bit YUV video interface supports many TV encoders.
General purpose auxiliary pins are provided to control
various peripheral devices. A standard I
2
S interface
supports popular audio DACs and ADCs. The ES4408FD
also features a direct S/PDIF output.
The media bitstream from a DVD disc is passed to the
ES4408FD through a 8-bit/16-bit parallel host interface.
The ES4408FD parses the system layer and
demultiplexes the audio and video streams. Audio is
decoded and passed through the I
2
S audio serial bus to an
external audio DAC for audio playback. Video is decoded
and output as YUV pixels to an NTSC or PAL video
encoder. System control and housekeeping functions
(keypad and remote control) are also provided on-chip.
The ES4408FD is available in an industry-standard 208-
pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP).
