An 80 mW dual video-codec SoC for seamless playback of digital terrestrial television and mobile broadcasting services

Abstract

A mobile digital-terrestrial-television SoC with two multi-standard video codec is integrated on a 5.3×5.4 mm2 die in 45 nm CMOS. The dual video codec with dynamic frequency selection and advanced tile-based address translation consumes 80 mW in real-time playback of full-HD MPEG-2 and SD H.264 streams from 64 bits width low-power DDR-SDRAM at 1.1V.
