Description
The AT76C120 is a highly integrated solution for still-image and video playback applica-
tions. It can also operate as a video capture device for low-cost Personal Video
Recording (PVR) applications. It combines a number of functions that are required in
such devices:
•
The design is based on an ARM7
®
microprocessor that controls the entire chip. A
number of hardware resources, controlled by the ARM processor, perform digital
imaging functions such as image signal processing, JPEG coding/decoding, MPEG-
1 coding/decoding, DMA access to the SDRAM, and video encoding. All of these
computationally-intensive functions are implemented in hardware which can be
programmed according to user specifications, thus allowing the ARM processor to
be free for other user-defined functions. The processor has 8 KB of internal
instruction/data cache that helps it to operate efficiently and use minimal SDRAM
bandwidth.
The device also features Personal Video Recording capabilities. It has a 16/8-bit
CCIR digital video input interface (shared with the display interface) that can capture
still-image/video data from either a CMOS sensor or a video decoder. The video
data can then be compressed using the MPEG engine.
The device has numerous display capabilities. It has an integrated video encoder
(double sampling) and 10-bit differential video DACs running at 78 MHz to support
direct display to high-definition TVs and projectors at different VESA rates up to
XGA (1024 x 768) resolutions. The device also has a 24-bit RGB output to interface
to flat-panel TVs (LCDs and Plasma). It supports both square pixel and CCIR-type
formats and can display in NTSC or PAL modes with the same crystal. It also has an
LCD controller that supports a variety of LCD panels (Epson, Casio, AU) without the
need for external ICs. Finally, it has an 8/16-bit CCIR-type output interface.
The device has a high-performance image scaler that can do up-and-down scaling
at floating point resolutions. This is very useful for playback applications, where
images of arbitrary sizes need to be displayed on fixed resolution displays. In
addition, the device supports hardware rotation, as well as flipping and mirroring in
both vertical and horizontal dimensions. It takes about 120 ms to rotate a 2M image
(1600 pixels) in any direction.
The AT76C120 has a hardware JPEG compression/decompression engine that can
decode a 2M pixel image in less than 150 ms. Non-standard Huffman JPEG tables
are also supported using a combination of hardware and software resources. The
engine can also do motion JPEG encoding and decoding.
The integrated MPEG decoder can be used to play video clips taken from digital
cameras and mobile phones. It supports Simple Profile MPEG-4 bitstreams at 30
fps CIF (I and P frames) and MPEG-1 video at 24 fps VGA (I frames only).
The device utilizes a unified memory architecture using the SDRAM to process,
capture, and play images and video, as well as to store program code and variables.
It supports SDRAM configurations of up to 512 Mbits.
A static memory controller is included that supports up to four 16 MB Flash or
SRAM devices. Both 8-bit and16-bit data buses are supported, with data accesses
of up to 32 bits. The number of wait states and setup, hold, and data float times are
programmable on a per device (chip select) basis.
The device supports all Flash cards, including MultiMedia Card (MMC), Secure
Digital (SD), Memory Stick Pro
™
, Smartmedia/SSFDC/NAND Flash, and Compact
Flash, including IDE I/O mode for streaming video. The Flash card interfaces can
support read/write operations at the maximum speeds specified by the Flash cards.
Data transfers between the Flash cards and the SDRAM are handled using high-

speed DMAs with FIFOs that leave the main processor free for other system
applications.
•
The I

S-compatible audio data interface allows the device to connect with an
external stereo ADC/DAC to capture or play voice or audio. The device can encode
captured audio in various popular formats, and can package it in the same bitstream
as the video or the compressed JPEG pictures. It can also play back stand-alone
audio, such as MP3 files or audio embedded in MPEG bitstreams.
The USB 1.1 full-speed host controller allows the playback device to connect
directly to digital cameras and either display images from the DSC or download
them to the playback device. The USB 1.1 full-speed slave controller can be used to
connect to a PC for downloading of images from the playback device to the PC.
The USB 2.0 high-speed slave controller can also be used to connect to a PC for the
downloading of images from the playback device to the PC. This interface is
mutually exclusive from the USB 1.1 interfaces (see “Part Versions” below).
An USART interface is included for serial communication. It supports standard baud
rates of up to 460.8 Kbps or non-standard rates of up to 4.875 Mbps in
asynchronous mode. It supports rates of up to19.5 Mbps in synchronous mode.
The serial peripheral interface (SPI) is used to boot from an external EEPROM.
Once the boot code is loaded inside the program memory, the CPU can download
its code from any peripheral supported by the device, including non-volatile storage
media. With two chip select pins, the SPI can also be used to control other external
devices at speeds of up to 19.2 Mbps with 64-bit transfers. Throughput decreases if
the transfer size is reduced or the delay between transfers is increased.
Three 16-bit general-purpose timers are included and can be used to generate
interrupts to the internal CPU. They can generate waveforms on their associated
pins via Pulse-width Modulation (PWM) or other techniques. They can also monitor
and count external events on these pins.
A dedicated watchdog timer is available which can provide an interrupt, an event on
an external pin, or a reset to the internal CPU in the event that software is not
responding as expected. Write access to the watchdog is protected by control
access keys to prevent corruption of the watchdog should an error condition occur.
The device provides up to eight external interrupt pins, depending on the system
configuration, which can be handled by the interrupt controller as either edge or
level sensitive.
Up to 102 pins can also be configured as GPIOs, depending on the application.
During normal operation, power consumption may be minimized by disabling the
clock of any internal module that is not in use. In order to further reduce power
consumption, the main CPU clock can be divided to run at a slower speed. In order
to minimize power consumption when the device is not in use, a “sleep mode” is
available that halts the operation of all logic and shuts down the oscillators and
PLLs. Recovery from sleep mode occurs via the WKP (“wakeup”) pin, at which time
the device begins execution from its previous state.

Part Versions
The AT76C120 device comes in two versions. One version has USB 1.1 full-speed host
and slave interfaces, while the other version has a USB 2.0 high-speed slave interface.
The corresponding part numbers are the AT76C120-U1 and the AT76C120-U2, respec-
tively. The pin configuration of each version is mostly the same, but with a few
differences as noted below.
•
The device is fabricated in a 0.18 micron process. It is expected that the device will
operate at less than 60 mA when fully active (video compression/decompression).
