APPLICATIONS
The SAA2505H is intended for all markets where a
multi-channel audio decoder for Dolby AC-3 and MPEG 2
is required.
Primary markets are for DVD video players, TV sets and
audio/video amplifiers.
GENERAL
The SAA2505H decodes multi-channel audio up to
MPEG 7.1, AC-3 5.1 and pro-logic on a dual DSP core.
The device contains all of the RAM and ROM necessary
for operation. This minimises the need for external
components and no microcode download is required.
The device is primarily intended for audio/video surround
sound amplifiers where the amplifier is connected to the
data source by means of SPDIF (IEC 60958). The input
interface is, therefore, made for SPDIF (IEC 60958) and
formatted for the I
2
S-bus.
The primary device output is PCM, sent via four I
2
S-bus
ports. There is also a SPDIF (IEC 60958) formatted
output.
User control is achieved via an I
2
C-bus. However, the
SAA2505H is capable of stand-alone operation.
