Control and compute subsystem
The Control and compute subsystem consists of the main
processor, control peripherals and the memory system.
The MIPS 4KEc is a 32-bit MIPS RISC core. It has direct
access to connectivity peripherals to support system features
via PCI, I
2
C, UART or General Purpose I/O. A JTAG interface
provides processor software debug capabilities.
The Memory Control Unit (MCU) is a 32-bit DDR2 SDRAM
interface supporting DDR2-533 with an address range of
128 MB (max.).
The PCI/XIO interface supports PCI Rev2.2 and can be used
to access 8/16-bit external NAND-Flash memory.

Back-end
Refer to figure “9-1 Architecture of TV522/92 platform (AP
region)” earlier in this chapter for details. Refer also to block
diagram B05.
In HD sets (50 / 100 Hz), the output signal coming from the
PNX85xx is fed to the PNX5100. The PNX5100 also generates
the pulse-width modulated signal needed for the “Dimming
Backlight” feature, which ensures additional motion sharpness.
As some displays require an analogue signal to switch the
LCD, a multiplexer is added to transform the pulse width
modulated signal. An additional signal, coming from the
PNX85xx, makes the selection between analogue and pulse-
width modulation, depending on which display is used.
Scanning back light displays require an analogue signal, and
all other displays a pulse-width modulated.
Refer to figure “9-9 PNX5100 Detailed Video Block diagram”.
