NXP Launches Solutions for Mobile Devices

NXP Semiconductors has rolled out NXP TVoM HotPlug system solution. According to the company, the NXP TVoM HotPlug delivers a standalone TVoM system, and enables handset manufacturers to introduce TV services by combining tuning, audio and video decoding features, connectivity and support for any DRM standard, with the power to support both DVB-H and DVB-T. NXP Semiconductors was earlier called as Philips Semiconductors.

Based on NXP’s BGT215 (for Europe) or BGT216 (for U.S.) low-power, front-end solutions for TVoM and the high-performance Nexperia mobile multimedia processor PNX4105, the TVoM HotPlug provides a complete system solution requiring no extra components or processing for the system baseband, the company stated.

The BGT215/16 provides the TV tuner and channel decoder/demodulator, while the PNX4105 provides the source processing, including the power to run the DVB-H/T software stack, to decode the audio and video streams and to display video on the LCD with up to WVGA resolution. Other advanced features include frame doubling and Picture in Picture, which allows two channels to be viewed simultaneously, the company added.
