TSB15LV01PFC

Overview

The TSB15LV01PFC is a video signal processor integrated with an IEEE 1394 link layer controller, designed for host-controlled full-motion color cameras. It supports the IEEE 1394a standard and the 1394 Trade Association’s Digital Camera Specification, Draft 1.04. The device provides 24-bit true-color digital video processing at sustained data rates up to 400 Mbits/s via the high-speed serial bus. It handles uncompressed full-motion digital video at 30 frames/sec and supports YUV 4:1:1, YUV 4:2:2, YUV 4:4:4, and RGB 24-bit formats. The maximum bandwidth consumed by the device is 200 Mbits/s.

• Includes programmable video controls for brightness, exposure, sharpness, saturation, white balance, gamma, and backlight compensation

Applications

• PC Video Camera
• Video Conferencing
• Still Picture Capture
• Set-Top Boxes
• Webcam

Procurement Notes

Verify the current production status of the TSB15LV01PFC before design inclusion. The datasheet indicates this product is intended for high-volume PC applications only. Confirm availability through official Texas Instruments channels or authorized distributors, as supply status may change without notice.

Selection Notes

Select the TSB15LV01PFC when designing a camera system requiring seamless integration with TI’s 1394 Physical Layer devices. Ensure the application utilizes a CCD sensor compatible with the specified pixel resolution and includes an external EEPROM for configuration. This component is suitable for systems needing non-compressed video transmission over IEEE 1394 buses.

Part Context

The TSB15LV01 completes a three-IC chipset from Texas Instruments that brings uncompressed VGA-resolution images to personal computers. It functions as the central video processor in a system coupled with a 1394 PHY, CCD sensor, driver, analog front end, and external EEPROM. The device enables battery-powered operation due to its advanced low-power CMOS process.

Replacement Considerations

Check the Package Option Addendum for alternative orderable devices such as TSB15LV01IPFC or TSB15LV01PFCG4. Verify if these variants offer different packaging or environmental compliance options while maintaining functional equivalence.
