QN8610

General Description

Fabricated in standard CMOS, the QN8610 is the world's smallest, lowest power NTSC/PAL/SECAM single-chip television and FM receiver, enabling global analog free-to-air TV and FM reception for mobile platforms. With ATV reaching more than 5 billion consumers worldwide, the QN8610 lets mobile OEMs and IDHs immediately differentiate their products by adding access to live and familiar programs using existing commercial broadcast infrastructure.

Packaged in 5x5 mm QFN package, the QN8610 provides single-chip video capability by simply adding an antenna and connecting the display to the industry-standard ITU-601 interface. At half the PCB area of existing ATV solutions, the QN8610 minimizes time-to-market and form-factor spins. Leveraging Quintic's patent-pending ultra-low power video processing technology, the QN8610 uses only 95 mA, providing the longest user video experience of any ATV chip.

Optimized for a broad class of application scenarios, such as urban indoor and outdoor viewing and suburban train commuting, the QN8610's innovative DSP-centric architecture delivers best-in-class performance, whether stationary or at speeds in excess of 430 km/h, by implementing dynamic compensation for multi-path fading and Doppler shift.

The QN8610 IDE comes bundled with a fully integrated hardware development board, universal API, AP code, and antenna support to quickly add ATV capability to your mobile platform with minimal resource, time, and expense.
