FAQ
What is the maximum DDR2 memory capacity supported by the PNX9531E/V120,557?
The PNX9531E/V120,557 supports external DDR2 SDRAM with a footprint up to 1 Gb, enabled by its 14-bit address bus (A0–A13) and 32-bit data bus. It is JEDEC-compliant and validated with the Micron MT47H16M16BG-37E device. While the interface can operate with DDR1 memories, that configuration is not guaranteed per the preliminary datasheet.
Does the PNX9531E/V120,557 support dual independent video outputs with separate timing?
Yes, the PNX9531E/V120,557 provides two independent digital video output interfaces (VDO1 and VDO2), each with dedicated RGB data buses (32-bit), HV sync signals, and auxiliary timing lines. This allows simultaneous rendering of different video streams on separate displays - such as front dashboard and rear-seat monitors - with independent scaling, OSD, and synchronization control.
Is the PNX9531E/V120,557 qualified for automotive use, and what grade does it meet?
Yes, the PNX9531E/V120,557 is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 3, specifying operation from −40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, vibration, and ESD - confirming suitability for under-dash infotainment modules and other automotive cabin applications.
What video input standards does the PNX9531E/V120,557 natively support?
The PNX9531E/V120,557 supports up to three digital video input channels conforming to ITU-R BT.656 (8-bit or 16-bit YUV 4:2:2) and BT.601 standards. Inputs are received via dedicated VDI_D[15:0] and VDI_CLK[2:0] pins, with internal routing to the video composition processor for format conversion, deinterlacing, and transport stream handling.
Can the PNX9531E/V120,557 be used without external DDR2 memory?
No - the PNX9531E/V120,557 requires external DDR2 SDRAM for program execution, video frame buffering, and OS operation. It lacks on-chip SRAM sufficient for boot or runtime execution. Boot code may be loaded from external FLASH via the XIO interface, but active operation depends on DDR2 initialization and configuration.
