DW5255M*(Micro-controller & West/East Teletext Decoder)
DW5255RM*(Micro-controller & Cyrillic Teletext Decoder)
=SDA5255-A*** (SIEMENS Type No.)
(1) General Description
The TDA5255 contains a slicer for VPS and TTX, an accelerating acquisition hardware module, a display
generator for “LEVEL 1” TTX data and a 8 bit u-controller running at 333 nsec cycle time.
The controller with dedicated hardware guarantees flexibility, does most of the internal processing of TTX
acquisition , transfers data to/from the external memory interface and receives/transmits data via I2C and
UART user interfaces.
The Slicer combined with dedicated hardware stores TTX data in a VBI 1Kbyte buffer.
The u-controller firmware does the total acquisition task (hamming- and parity -checks,
page search and evaluation of header control bits) once per field.
