MILPITAS, Calif., June 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Intersil
Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL), a leading provider of innovative power
management and precision analog solutions, today announced the
TW9992 analog video decoder, which features an integrated MIPI-CSI2
output interface that provides compatibility with the newest SoC
processors. The decoder's MIPI-CSI2 interface simplifies design by
making it easier to interface with SoCs, while also lowering the
system's EMI profile. The TW9992 decoder takes both single-ended
and differential composite video inputs from a vehicle's backup
safety camera, and is the latest addition to Intersil's video
decoder product family for automotive applications.
Designed with built-in diagnostics and superior video quality,
the TW9992 addresses the biggest challenges faced by automotive
video systems. For example, the decoder's Automatic Contrast
Adjustment (ACA) image enhancement feature overcomes a major
challenge for backup camera systems by adapting to rapidly changing
lighting conditions. ACA is able to automatically boost up or
reduce the brightness/contrast of an image for greater visibility
and safety.
In addition, vehicle backup cameras typically employ
differential twisted pair cables that require designers to use an
operational amplifier (op amp) in front of the video decoder to
convert the differential signal to single-ended. The TW9992 decoder
eliminates the need for an external op amp by supporting direct
differential CVBS inputs, thus reducing system cost and board
space. The built-in short-to-battery and short-to-ground detection
capability on each differential input channel further enhances
video performance and automotive system reliability.
"This latest addition to Intersil's video decoder family
future-proofs customer designs as they adopt next-generation SoCs,"
said Philip Chesley, senior vice
president of Precision Products at Intersil. "With better picture
quality, lower power consumption and advanced features to improve
reliability and simplify design, the best-in-class TW9992 is ideal
for backup camera designs."
