Digital television chip technology in China unified two standards started

Reporter learned yesterday, the Tsinghua University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University respectively digital TV standard scheme was not uniform chip design process have been unified, digital TV chip will use 0.18 micron the domestic mature manufacturing process. Key process of unity, is expected to further integration of the two standards. A core staff Sea Transportation University Digital Standards Working Group yesterday said publicly for the first time, they only 0.11 micron test chip, after the industrial operation will switch to 0.18 micron chip design process, they are doing related research at present. This is in accordance with the Tsinghua University recently by the Fudan University Institute of microelectronics, the independent design of CTV 0.18 micron digital TV terrestrial transmission chip consistent.

Due to the competition of standards, this should be in the national digital television standard until 2003 issued today has not been published yet. According to informed sources, previously, by the Chinese Academy of engineering, deputy director of the drafting of the draft standards have been submitted to the relevant departments of the state. In the draft, the current standard of two major wrestling party standard and wide integration of Tsinghua University Academy of Shanghai Jiaotong University standard parallel access to the latest draft, and many fundamental differences between the two standards have not yet reached a final agreement.

Currently two standards in the chip design process for the first time agreed, means that China chip chip giant and foreign enterprises will obtain equal competitive opportunity. Prior to this, the successful development of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, HD series chips using 0.11 micron chip design process, but the technology can not be carried out in the domestic industry promotion.

An industry expert said that the national standard when using 0.18 micron, domestic chip companies is expected to receive a lot of digital TV orders. According to the person in charge of the Fudan University Institute of microelectronics, a revealed that the major domestic chip production enterprises, like Shanghai Hongli Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd., semiconductor manufacturing international (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. is fully equipped with 0.18 micron technology production capacity, they can be mass-produced chip in a month.

As the world's first TV country, China's TV ownership more than 370 million units, annual sales of up to 40 million Taiwan tv. According to the long-term plan for the development of China's State Administration of radio, digital TV, 2015 will be fully realized, complete the analog to digital transition, stopped analog signal. The transition from analog TV to digital TV involves many aspects of electronic information industry. In accordance with the annual increase and update 40 million digital TV sets, of which the chip output value of up to 10 billion yuan, and will pull hundreds of billions of dollars of the whole machine market.
