STV0974E/TR

Overview

The STV0974E/TR is a mobile imaging digital signal processor designed for VGA (640 x 480) applications. It operates with the VS6552 CMOS image sensor via a low EMI VisionLink interface. The device processes raw Bayer data through pixel defect correction, color interpolation, and noise filtering to produce RGB or YUV output. It supports real-time Motion JPEG compression at up to 30 frames per second. Power consumption is 110 mW in active mode and 30 µW in standby. It utilizes a 1.8 V supply and is housed in a 6x6 mm TFBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Supports VGA resolution (640x480) at 30 fps with M-JPEG compression
• Integrated video processing: defect correction, sharpness enhancement, and scaling
• Low EMI VisionLink serial interface for sensor connection
• Flexible host interfaces: I2C, microprocessor (with FIFO), and ITU-R 656 video output

Applications

• Mobile phone embedded camera systems
• PDA embedded cameras
• Wireless security cameras

Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering code matches the specific package variant required. The 'E' suffix indicates an AFOP lead-free ball option compared to the standard SnPb version. Confirm the 'TR' suffix corresponds to the Tape & Reel packaging format for surface mount assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring on-chip JPEG compression and VGA processing for battery-powered devices. Ensure the host system supports the asynchronous microprocessor interface or ITU-R 656 video stream. Verify compatibility with the VS6552 sensor for optimal VisionLink interface performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the STV0974 family of mobile imaging DSPs. The STV0974E/TR specifically denotes the lead-free ball variant in a Tape & Reel package. It serves as the primary image processing engine for STMicroelectronics' integrated camera solutions targeting the mobile and PDA markets circa 2004.

Replacement Considerations

The STV0974/TR is the non-lead-free equivalent. No other direct functional substitutes are documented in the provided source material.
