TSB15LV01IPFC

Overview

The TSB15LV01IPFC is a video signal processor integrated with an IEEE 1394 link layer controller, designed for host-controlled full-motion color cameras. It supports up to 400 Mbits/s operation and complies with the Digital Camera Specification Draft 1.04. The device processes 24-bit true-color digital video using proprietary DSP ASIC techniques, supporting YUV 4:1:1, YUV 4:2:2, YUV 4:4:4, and RGB formats. It handles VGA resolution (640x480) and includes controls for brightness, exposure, sharpness, saturation, white balance, gamma, and backlight compensation. The component is housed in an 80-TQFP package.

Procurement Notes

The TSB15LV01IPFC carries the NRND status, indicating it is not recommended for new designs. While the device remains in production to support existing customers, Texas Instruments advises against incorporating this part into new product development cycles due to its discontinued recommendation status.

Selection Notes

This component requires coupling with a 1394 PHY, CCD sensor, analog front end, and external EEPROM to function as a complete camera system. Designers should verify compatibility with specific CCD sensors such as the Sony ICX series or Sharp LZ24BP. The device operates within standard CMOS voltage ranges suitable for notebook-powered applications.

Part Context

The TSB15LV01IPFC belongs to the TSB15LV01 family of video processors. It is manufactured by Texas Instruments and utilizes a plastic quad flatpack (PFC) package with 80 pins. The 'I' suffix denotes industrial temperature range capability, while 'NRND' indicates its current lifecycle status.

Replacement Considerations

Texas Instruments lists the TSB15LV01PFC and TSB15LV01PFCG4 as active alternatives within the same package type. These parts are currently recommended for new designs and offer identical functionality to the NRND IPFC variant.
