| | Audio/Video |
| | Audio/Video devices implement application specific processes including- encoding and compression of video and audio signals prior to processing, transmission, storage or viewing/listening. |
| |  | AKM Video Encoders AKM Video Encoders can provide a wide range of video standards including S-video, Composite, YPbPr (HD), YC (SD), Component, and Macrovision. Conversion can be a requirement in Broadcast/Professional capture applications if local displays are supported or if encoded signals are needed for local storage. |  | Conexant PCI-Express Broadcast Audio/Video Decoder The CX23888 device integrates all the functions required to perform television and external A/V capture on personal computers or consumer electronic devices. The integrated worldwide video decoder and audio decoder can be used for a high-performance, cost-effective, basic analog television capture, or can be used as the base for more complex multiple tuner configurations. The device can support capture of one single analog stream, two simultaneous digital television transport streams, or a combination of analog and digital capture. |  | Nuvoton Audio Data Converters Nuvoton Audio data converters provide advanced features, at low cost and with small device footprints. These devices support Mono and Stereo, provide SPI interface or 2-wire, and optional Equalization to address a variety of Broadcast/Professional applications. |

| | Central Processor/MicroController |
| | Central Processors/MicroControllers are key elements in Audio/Video applications. In particular 8/16/32-bit MCUs are found at the heart of many audio/video processing devices and can be used to compress, encrypt and code audio/video analog/digital signals, control the user interface and provide image/audio enhancement. ASSPs and FPGAs/PLDs are also used as key elements in these functions. |
| |  | ST-10 16-bit MCUs The ST10 family, STs industry-standard 16-bit microcontroller, provides pin-compatible alternatives with enhanced Flash memory. Building on STs experience in embedded cores, the ST10 architecture fullfills the real needs of system designers and software engineers in some of the fastest-moving segments of the industry, where high-performance, real-time capabilities and low-power consumption are essential. High performance, large Flash size, multiple standard interfaces and upto 24 channels of ADC make these devices a good fit for Broadcast/Professional applications. |

| | Memory |
| | Memory devices are needed in all Audio/Video applications. Flash devices are used for processor code storage, image and audio file storage, DRAM devices are used for intermediate data processing storage and buffer storage for data communication within the larger system, EEPROM is useful for non-volatile storage and specialty memory devices are used in special storage applications. |
| |  | Micron NAND Flash Micron’s latest TLC, MLC, and SLC NAND devices combine leading-edge NAND technology and an ONFI high-speed synchronous interface to provide high-capacity storage in ultra-tiny packages. For Broadcast/Professional applications the use of NAND Flash for large file storage is a key element in capturing large amounts of video and audio easily, conveniently and at low cost. |

| | Power and Battery Management |
| | Power and Battery Management devices are pervasive in the Audio/Video market. Battery management is used in hand-held devices to provide long operating life while maximizing performance and efficiency. Board level power management is used to control and distribute power cleanly and efficiently. Supervisory functions are used to maintain safe operation of critical power rails. |
| |  | Exar Power Supply Monitor/Supervisor The Exar XRP6336 is a triple Micropower Supervisory Circuit with Watchdog and Power Fail indication. It provides low voltage monitoring ability for up-to three supplies with two precision factory-set thresholds and one user defined custom threshold. This circuit performs a single function: if any of the input supply voltages drops below its associated threshold, reset outputs are asserted. The SP6336 offers power fail and watchdog functionalities. |
