FAQ
What is the maximum DDR2 data rate supported by the PNX9535E/V120,557?
The PNX9535E/V120,557 supports DDR2 data rates up to 533 MHz, corresponding to PC2-4200 (DDR2-533) operation. This is achieved using its 16-bit DDR2 interface with differential clock (MM_CLK_P/MM_CLK_N), on-die termination (MM_ODT), and VREF reference (MM_VREF). The recommended memory device is Micron MT47H16M16BG-37E, validated for use with PNX9535E/V120,557 in automotive temperature ranges.
Does the PNX9535E/V120,557 support dual video output simultaneously?
Yes, the PNX9535E/V120,557 supports simultaneous dual video output via its VDO_D0–VDO_D35 bus and auxiliary timing signals (VDO_HOR/VDO_VER). It renders each decoded stream independently with dedicated OSD layers and can drive two separate displays-for example, a front LCD and rear-seat monitor-using internal video composition logic without external frame buffers.
Is the PNX9535E/V120,557 pin-compatible with PNX9530E or PNX9531E?
No, the PNX9535E/V120,557 is not pin-compatible with PNX9530E or PNX9531E. Although all three share the BGA456 (SOT795-1) package, DDR2 data pin assignments differ: PNX9535E uses only MM_D0–MM_D15, while PNX9530E/PNX9531E implement the full 32-bit bus (MM_D0–MM_D31). This requires distinct PCB layouts and power delivery networks.
What video post-processing algorithms are included in the PNX9535E/V120,557?
PNX9535E/V120,557 integrates proprietary video post-processing algorithms including deinterlacing, edge-dependent deinterlacing, MPEG artifact reduction, film detection, contrast enhancement, blue stretch, green enhancement, skin tone control, and adaptive backlight dimming. These are implemented in dedicated hardware accelerators and licensed separately under commercial agreement with NXP-not enabled by default in base firmware.
What interfaces does the PNX9535E/V120,557 provide for connecting external storage devices?
The PNX9535E/V120,557 provides XIO (Extended I/O) interface pins for direct connection to Hard Disk Drives (HDD), CD, or DVD drives, plus native USB 2.0 OTG support for flash drives and SD card readers via USB mass storage class. It also supports PCI 2.2 for legacy host-attached storage controllers and includes dual I2S interfaces for external audio DACs/ADCs used in storage-based audio playback.
