DESCRIPTION

The
®ES3890 single-chip Video CD (VCD) processor is the latest innovation of ESS’s family of VCD

chips for VCD players. The
ES3890 is based on the ESS Programmable Multimedia Processor (PMP)

architecture consisting of a 32-bit video controller and a 64-bit video processor and it integrates the TV-encoder, thus eliminating the need for a VCD companion chip.

The ES3890 integrates an audio ADC for microphone inputs, two video DACs for Composite and S-video outputs, and digital echo circuitry. With
, VCD player design and board layout become simpler, the VCD system cost is much reduced, and it offers a very flexible design configuration for 512 kB or 2 MB system RAM.

The ES3890 performs all of the functions such as video filtering, NTSC/PAL conversion, audio and video error concealment, and picture zoom in/out up to 4x magnification. It supports On-Screen-Display (OSD) with 4 colors in 8 degrees of transparency, Karaoke, and VCD 2.0 Playback Control (PBC).
