Product Brief
ESS Technology, Inc.
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ES6218A VibrattoS DVD processor is a super high-
performance single-chip MPEG video decoding solution
that is ideal for automotive DVD applications. The chip
integrates CPRM and S/PDIF input and output support.
The ES6218A performs audio/video stream data
processing, TV encoding, Macrovision copy protection,
DVD system navigation, system control, and
housekeeping functions.
• Single-chip DVD processor.
• Integrated NTSC/PAL encoder with pixel-adaptive
de-interlacer and three 10-bit 54 MHz video DACs.
• DVD-Video, DVD-VR, VCD 1.1 and 2.0.
• Media playback with CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW,
DVD+R/RW, and DVD-RAM.
• Full DVD-Audio support including MLP and Linear PCM
decoding, CPPM and watermark detection.
The Vibratto-S DVD processor is built on the ESS
proprietary dual CPU Programmable Multimedia
Processor (PMP) core consisting of 32-bit RISC and 64-bit
DSP processors and offers the best DVD feature set. The
processing units enable simultaneous parallel execution of
system commands and data processing to perform
specialized encoding and decoding tasks.
• Up to 7.1 channel audio outputs.
• Interface for IDE devices, A/V DVD loaders and flash.
• Interface for CF, MS, MMC, SD, and SM memory cards.
• Direct interface of 8-/16-bit DRAM up to 128-Mb capacity.
• Direct interface for up to 4 banks of 8-/16-bit EPROM or
Flash EPROM for up to 4-MB for each bank.
The RISC processor performs bit stream parsing, control
audio data output, transfer video and audio data to the
vector engine and service system control and
housekeeping functions. The vector engine performs
audio and video micro-code processing required by A/V
standards, such as Dolby Digital, DTS surround,
MPEG and JPEG imaging. These processing tasks
include video motion compensation and estimation, loop
filtering, Discrete Cosine Transforms (DCT), inverse DCT,
quantization, and inverse quantization.
• Macrovision 7.1 for NTSC/PAL interlaced video.
• Composite, S-video and RGB or YUV outputs.
• CCIR 656/601 YUV 4:2:2 input and output.
• On-Screen Display controller supports 256 colors in 8
degrees of transparency.
• Subpicture Unit (SPU) decoder supports karaoke lyric,
subtitles, and EIA-608 compliant Line 21 Captioning.
• JPEG digital photo CD support (Kodak Picture CD and
Fujifilm FujiColor CD).
The Vibratto-S DVD processor supports both parallel and
serial DVD loader interfaces, industry standard I2S audio
data input and output, EPROM and DRAM access, and
audio/video data buffering. It also supports both letterbox
and pan-and-scan displays, sub-picture overlay, and On-
Screen Display (OSD).
• ESS Music Slideshow™.
• Dolby Digital (AC-3), Dolby Pro Logic™, and Pro Logic II.
• DTS surround.
• S/PDIF digital audio input and output.
• MPEG AAC and Multichannel.
The Vibratto-S DVD solution also offers support for
Karaoke CD+G, HDCD, CD-DA, DVD-Audio, MP3, and
WMA.
• SRS TruSurround and TruSurround XT.
• Windows™ Media Audio (WMA).
• Extended temperature range –40 to 85 °C ambient for
The ES6218A DVD processor is available in a 208-pin
Low-profile Quad Flat Pack (LQFP) package with lead-
free leads. The silicon is qualified for an extended
temperature range of –40 to 85 °C for automotive
applications.
automotive applications.
• Slave mode for control by host processor.
• Lead-free leads using 98%-Sn/2%-Cu or 98%-Sn/2%-Bi.
