NXP has launched a new HDMI 1.3 receiver chip, the TDA19978HL, which improves the audio and video performances and lowers the costs of high-definition (HD) audio/video receivers.
The TDA19978HL has four inputs, which eliminates the need for an external HDMI switch. This capability reduces overall system cost and design cycles, enabling faster time-to-market while meeting demanding performance and application requirements for HDTV viewing.
NXP’s new HDMI1.3 receiver can improve the quality of HDTV audio-video streaming  . It combines 12-bit Deep Color and Extended Gamut to render rich, life-like colors. For audio, it utilizes High Bit Rate and Direct Stream Transport formats. Additionally, the TDA19978 has the ability to reduce the overall cost of an HDTV by embedding EDID memory for each of the four independent HDMI inputs.
“The TDA19978 HDMI1.3 receiver demonstrates NXP’s commitment to make a high-quality viewing experience more affordable and easily integrated across high-end TV sets,” said Guy Ducos, vice president and general manager at NXP’s TV front end & media interfaces division, in a statement.
Ducos continued: “Building on NXP’s heritage in TV systems, the new HDMI receiver enables our customers to offer more functionality and HD quality in a smaller package with reduced bill-of-materials, feeding into the growing demand for HDTV.”
Boasting a maximum link frequency of 2.3GHz, NXP’s TDA19978 quad-input HDMI1.3 receiver supports all HDTV formats, like the 1080p/60Hz TV and the UXGA (1600x1200) at 60Hz PC display resolutions. NXP’s new recieverTDA19978 comes in a small, low pin count HLQFP144 package with three levels of power management for optimum power saving, as well as optional software drivers.
