sible use in a system
Engineers who are designing the processor into a system
Organization
This document has the following chapters:
Chapter 1 Introduction, describes the system interface and the
architecture of the L64005 MPEG-2 Audio/Video Decoder.
Chapter 2 Registers, discusses the L64005 internal registers. It also
provides a description of the internal memory mapping and how the
registers are accessed from the system interface. This chapter is
intended primarily for system programmers who are developing soft-
ware drivers.
Chapter 3 Signals, provides detailed information on the L64005 sig-
nals. The signal descriptions are useful for hardware designers who
are interfacing the L64005 with other devices.
Chapter 4 Video Data Flow, This chapter describes the MPEG bit-
stream construction, parsing and error handling as well as the oper-
ation of the channel buffer.
