GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Z90365 Digital Television Controller is designed to
provide complete audio and video control of television re-
ceivers, video recorders, and advanced on-screen display
facilities. The television controller features a Z89C00 RISC
processor core that controls the on-board peripheral func-
tions and registers using the standard processor instruc-
tion set.
Serial interfacing with the television tuner is provided
through the tuner serial port. Other serial devices, such as
digital channel tuning adjustments, may be accessed
2
through the industry-standard I C port.
User control can be monitored through the keypad scan-
ning port, or the 16-bit remote control capture register. Re-
ceiver functions such as color and volume can be directly
controlled by eight 8-bit pulse width modulated ports.
Character attributes can be controlled through two modes:
the on-screen display Character-Control Mode and the
Closed-Caption Mode. The Character-Control Mode pro-
vides access to the full set of attribute controls, allowing the
modification of attributes on a character-by-character ba-
sis. The insertion of control characters permits direction of
other character attributes. Closed-caption text can be de-
coded directly from the composite video signal and dis-
played on-screen with the assistance of the processor's
digital signal processing (DSP) capabilities.
Notes: All Signals with a preceding front slash, "/", are
active Low. For example, B//W (WORD is active Low);
/B/W (BYTE is active Low, only).
Power connections follow conventional descriptions be-
