YAMD................................. Fujitsu MPEG-2 decoder frees CPU for graphics Semiconductor Business News (03/10/99, 2:02 p.m. EDT) MAIDENHEAD, England — Fujitsu Microelectronics here has introduced a single-chip MPEG-2 video and audio decoder that integrates a transport demultiplexer with a 32-bit RISC microprocessor. Decoding and transport demultiplexing are implemented in hardware, which allows all of the CPU's power to generate graphic and electronic program guides. Designed for use in terrestrial, cable and satellite set-top boxes, the MB87L2250 decoder uses a 2.5 frame architecture, which produces high-resolution pictures and graphics using just 16 megabits of SDRAM for MPEG decoding, among other functions. The decoder is enclosed in an FTP-208P package. Designed at Fujitsu's European Multimedia Design Centre in Frankfurt and fabricated in 0.35-mm process technology, the device uses ASIC building-block design techniques. The MB87L2250 will be available in volume quantities during the first quarter of 1999. eet.com (Yet another MPEG decoder)
