TC90408FG Block Diagram

The Toshiba TC90408FG IC integrates a powerful graphics engine, audio decoding and processing functionality, demodulation circuitry, and all necessary interfaces and controllers into a single low-cost, 256-pin QFP package.

An on-board COFDM (coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexer) demodulator (for DVB-T applications) is compliant with the latest specifications (including
support for ETSI 300 744 (DVB-T), NORDIG-II, NORDIG-Unified and DTG standards). An integrated audio DAC further reduces external component count, board space and cost.
