A highly integrated scanning rate converter for IQTV

The paper describes the multipurpose scanning rate converter (MSRC) IC, which improves TV image quality applying advanced scanning rate and format conversion techniques. The device has been designed to be inserted in an IQTV receiver to remove interlaced scan-related artifacts. The MSRC has been integrated using the 0.7 um CMOS technology, following a mixed custom/semicustom design approach.<
