Visba ES3883
Video CD Companion Chip
Product Brief
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
• Multistandard TV encoder:
The Visba ES3883 video CD companion chip (CC) is the
second-generation companion chip that provides an optimal
system design for a video CD player when used with the Visba
ES3880 video CD PC. The ES3883 Visba video CD CC
integrates the CD-ROM controller (featuring direct servo control),
as well as most of the required analog discrete components, into
a simple, highly cost-effective design for a video CD player. The
Visba video CD CC provides the best quality for both video and
audio, and easily passes the highest graded level for the China
VCD standard.

Two 16-bit sigma-delta DACs
Dual audio output, SNR better than 90 dB
Accepts I2S format data
Programmable functions
The Visba video CD CC features include a high-quality NTSC/
PAL digital video encoder (DVE), echo, surround sound, audio
DACs, and PLL clock synthesizer. Additionally, there are also
three 9-bit video DACs and two 16-bit sigma-delta audio DACs.
One video DAC handles composite video output, while the other
two handle the S-video outputs. The two 16-bit sigma-delta audio
DACs offer differential outputs. The differential dual audio
outputs from these audio DACs ensure further noise reduction to
a minimum of 90 dB, enabling the Visba video CD CC to pass the
best quality audio on all video CD parameter specifications.
• Surround sound
• Remote control interface for power standby on/off
• Digitally controlled echo with up to 130-ms delay
• Dual microphone input
• Clock synthesizer (PLL):

Based on 27-MHz crystal input
Generates required clocks for video encoder, audio
DAC, echo and surround sound, and video processor
• Device serial communication (DSC) port for command issued/
register access
The DVE generates composite and S-video analog signals.
Color space conversions (CSCs) are provided to match the input
data to the required output format. Then, the data is filtered to
meet the selected video standards. In addition, the Visba video
CD CC is equipped with a remote control interface for power
standby on/off, two microphone ports, auxiliary ports, and an
interface for accessing internal registers.
• Graphical user interface (GUI) and hyperlink
• Direct CD servo control
• Vocal assist
• Remote control
• Interrupt control
• Power management
• 100-pin PQFP
• Single 5V power supply
