At the core of the graphics engine is a variable width accelerator designed to achieve high display resolutions with single-state execution. In addition, the VL82C975 offers color depth conversion to display true color images with as little as one-third the normal storage requirement.

€ I2C bus master support
The VES2020 MPEG 2 Transport Stream Demultiplexer handles MPEG 2 transport streams and Packetized Elementary Streams (PES) of up to 60 Mbps, parses the streams to frame the MPEG 2 packets, and then routes the extracted packets to either an MPEG 2 video decoder, MPEG audio decoder, or to a host microcontroller for downstream processing. The VES2020 also performs Program Clock Reference (PCR) recovery to maintain audio and video synchronization, acts as the DRAM memory controller for not only itself, but also for the host microcontroller and MPEG audio decoder, thus reducing overall system DRAM requirements and cost. The VES2020 comes with necessary firmware, and is packaged either in a 160- or 208-lead MQFP package.

The VES4143 is a DVB-compliant variable-rate digital demodulator for BSPK and QPSK modulated signals. The device directly interfaces to I and Q digital baseband signals following down conversion. The center frequency, at twice the modulation rate, is programmable via the I2C interface and is internally tuned by the clock recovery circuitry. The carrier recovery function requires no feedback loop control from the IF local oscillator, decreasing overall system component cost. The VES4143 operates at speeds up to 60 MHz with modulation rates of up to 30 Mbaud, interfaces directly with the VES5453X FEC decoder, and is available in a 68-lead PLCC package.
