1 SOC MPEG Decoder Chipset Datasheet System-On-Chip (SOC) Technologies (February 2017) 1 Product Overview The SOC MPEG Codec Chipsets are based on off-the-shelf FPGAs and SOC codec IP cores. The SOC IP cores are prestored into Flash Memories for the target FPGA chip. The FPGA and the pre-configured Flash Memory form the chipset. Customers can purchase both the FPGA and the pre-configured flash memory chip from SOC or purchase the pre-configured flash memory only. In the case of purchasing the pre-configured memory only from SOC, the customer may purchase the target FPGA chips from the FPGA distributors. It should also be noted that an IP core key which is a pre-written (3mmx3mm) one-wire EPROM comes with the flash memory as well for IP protection.

6 4.2 Signal Format of Data Pins External Reset (Input) The active high external reset signal can be used to reset the decoder core. An internal pull-down resistor is included, do not connect this pin if external reset is not required Clock Signal (Output) The video clock signal varies according to the resolution of the video Output. The following are the clock frequencies for standard video resolutions: 1. 27MHz, for SD resolution MHz, for and MHz, for Video Data Signals (Output) The Output of the decoder module, H.265, H.264 or MPEG-2 listed in Table 1, is in YUV format (4:2:2 or 4:2:0), with 10 Output lines, Video Data Luma[0] to Video Data Luma[9] for Luma, and 10 Output lines, Video Data Chroma[0] to Video Data Chroma[9] for the Chroma. The precision can be either 8 bits or 10 bits. When 8 bits precision is used, Video Data Luma[0], Video Data Luma[1], Video Data Chroma[0], and Video Data Chroma[2] are zeros. If embedded frame synchronization is disabled, the Video Horizontal Sync and Video Vertical Sync signals are output. Video Display Enable signifies the start and stop of the Output video data Audio Data Signals (Output, available in Video+Audio Decoder chipset) Output line SPDIF Audio is for PCM audio Output in SPDIF frames TS stream Signals (Input) The input of the decoder module is MPEG Transport Stream (TS), which is sent to the module by 8 parallel lines, Transport Stream Data[0] to Transport Stream Data[7], along with the Transport Stream Clock. The frequency of the Transport Stream Clock must be less than or equal to 125MHz. Transport Stream Data Valid Indicates that for the current clock cycle of Transport Stream Clock, Transport Stream Data are to be considered valid data. Transport Stream Flash Data Valid (optional) is the data valid signal for FPGA image data that is muxed into the TS stream input, and can be used by the decoder to update the IP core image stored in flash memory. Tie to ground if not used. Transport Stream User Data Valid (available upon request) is the data valid signal for user-specific data that is muxed into the TS stream input. 2017, System-On-Chip Technologies Inc. Page 6

7 4.2.6 Decoder Control Signals (Input and output) Uart_rx and Uart_tx are the API pins for controlling the operations of the decoder. Uart_rx receives the command from external control device, Uart_tx send the decoder information to the control device. Refer to the Uart standard for details of Uart operations. The SOC API User Manual provides the register map for the API control. Refer to the Decoder API User Manual for details User Output data signals (Output, available upon request) The User Data signals can be used to send user-specific data from the decoder. The decoder sends out the User Data on User Data Clock, along with active-high signal User Data Valid Video Frame Sync Relock (Input, available upon request) The Video Frame Sync Relock signal can be used to relock the output frame sync to an external source. Note relocking the frame will cause interruption in the video output, and thus should only be used at startup SDI Clock (Input, available upon request) If SDI output interface is used for video playback, the SDI interface TX Clock signal can be sent to the decoder as the video clock. 4.3 Power Rails of XC7A200T The XC7A200T-SBG484/UBGA484 has its power requirement. Refer to the datasheet of XC7A200T for the power supplies. The reference design in Appendix-B provide a working design for all of the power rails. Table 3Table 2 lists all of the power rails required and the power pins in the reference design (MCM-1000A).

Overall, it is normally below 3W. 2017, System-On-Chip Technologies Inc. Page 7

8 4.5 Power Supply Amperage All of the power rails, 1.0v, 1.2v, 1.3v, 1.5v, 2.5v, and 3.3v, are required to be supplied via the power pins, as listed in Table 3. These power rails are also shown in the edge connector schematics in Appendix-B. It has been tested that 2A (amps) for each power rail is sufficient, although it could be much lower. 2017, System-On-Chip Technologies Inc. Page 8
