The LDV5010 Channel is tailored to run on the 41.85MHz Digital Video Camera (DVC) platform. The main function is to read the signal from the media (presented by the preamp), extracting the data and the data clock for the controller. The secondary function is to detect the Automatic Tracking Frequencies of 465KHz and 697.5KHz. In the DVC system, the LDV5010 interfaces to the Preamp, MicroProcessor and Controller. Channel performance information is available through LDV5010's Quality Engine, which can be used as a metric to help optimize the channel's bit-error-rate. The LDV5010 utilizes a 0.18 micron CMOS process technology for low power consumption and a small die area. The part requires two power supplies: 3.3V +/-10% and 1.8V +/-10% or one power supply of 3.3V +/-10% (with internal 1.8V voltage regulator enabled). The part is available in a 64-pin TQFP package.
