Introduction
The VCT 49xxI is an IC family of high-quality single-
chip TV processors. Modular design and deep-submi-
cron technology allow the economic integration of fea-
tures in all classes of single-scan TV sets. The
VCT 49xxI family is based on functional blocks con-
tained
and
approved
in
existing
products
like
DRX 396xA, MSP 34x5G, VSP 94x7B, DDP 3315C,
and SDA 55xx.
Each member of the family contains the entire IF,
audio, video, display, and deflection processing for 4:3
and 16:9 50/60-Hz mono and stereo TV sets. The inte-
grated microcontroller is supported by a powerful OSD
generator with integrated Teletext & CC acquisition
including on-chip page memory.
