Toshiba is a world leader1 in semiconductors with consumer product expertise

Digital TV is the rising star of consumer electronics as television moves towards the all-digital age. Driven by the mandate all U.S. broadcast television stations must be completely converted to digital terrestrial transmissions by 2009, Toshiba now supports platform solutions that provide a ready-to-use bill-of-materials for quick deployment of new digital technologies for digital TV applications.

The Toshiba digital TV product portfolio consists of platform solutions that bundle software, reference designs and a selection of high-end to low-end system-on-chip (SoC) ICs. These ICs fit a range of TV designs by delivering various levels of performance, integration and price. The Toshiba analog/video and comb filter front-end processors complete the reference design for digital television, set-top box and other broadcast video electronic products.

The Toshiba digital TV product portfolio is comprised of two product families and an LCD controller chip. Toshiba supports hardware and software development requirements with reference designs, drivers and firmware, operating systems, ATSC middleware, and application/user interface development tools.
