This compact, single chip MPEG-2 audio/video decoder performs all necessary signal processing required for digital satellite TV and cable television (CATV) receivers based on the main profile at main level (MPEG-2 MP@ML) standard. This decoder uses 135,000 gates (2-input NAND equivalents) and occupies 8.6/spl times/9.3 mm/sup 2/ in a triple-layer-metal, 0.5 /spl mu/m CMOS standard-cell process and is much smaller than any MPEG-1/MPEG-2 decoder previously reported.
