• Supports auto-pause feature
• Disc interface: Philips I2S, EIAJ, MEC formats and
IEC 958 (EBU) interface
• Separate error flag input (EFIN) and data valid input
(NDAV)
• Performs basic block decoder functions:
– serial-to-parallel conversion
– sync detection

and field timing codes
• Audio output: 44.1 kHz. 16, 18 or 20 bits per audio
sample in Philips I2S, Sony or MEC formats
• EBU audio output, fully transparent from input to output
in CD-DA mode and generated in MPEG mode
• Downloadable microcode for internal controllers
• Internal video timing generator
• Requires 40 MHz crystal for system clock generation
• Requires 27 MHz crystal or external 27 MHz source for
video timing generation
• Requires 16.9344 MHz (384 × 44.1 kHz) clock locked to
CD drive
• Internal generation of 90 kHz MPEG clock
• Capability of sharing external DRAM by 3-stating all
DRAM pins.
APPLICATION
• Dedicated video CD players.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
MPEG1 audio and video CD (VCD) decoder, intended for
use in low-cost dedicated video CD players. When used
with a 4 Mbit DRAM and a digital video encoder, the
decoder adds the required functionality to a CD decoder to
implement a low-cost video CD player capable of playing
discs coded to version 2.0 of the video CD specification.
The SAA2510 is an I2C-bus controlled chip and features
serial data input in four common bus formats. It provides
digital video output in CCIR601 and 656 formats.
A bit-mapped on-screen display is provided and output
video timing can be 525 lines/30 frames per second or
625 lines/25 frames per second. The chip is microcode
programmable for feature enhancement.
