Versatile Single-Chip TV Audio Processors from STMicroelectronics Enhance Flat-Panel TV Sound
STMicroelectronics announced new TV sound processor chips – the STV83xy family – which are an evolution of the established STV82xy series and which are intended particularly for mainstream flat-panel TV sets. Like the STV82xy devices, each of the new processors is a single-chip solution that provides all the resources required to detect, decode and process analog audio transmissions or digital sources with multi-channel content, and to drive a range of audio channels from enhanced stereo up to full 5.1 surround sound.
New digital sound processor family supports US, European and Asian analog broadcast standards, with high-end audio algorithms
With a built-in audio delay of up to 100ms, the STV83xy family compensates for the video processing delay of flat-panel TVs without the need for external memory; the devices support the use of external delay if more than 100ms is required. In addition, a high-end Digital Signal Processor (DSP) offers unprecedented compensation for the smaller loudspeakers and less-than-ideal chassis acoustic often found in flat-screen sets as designs become thinner.
