The SAA7201H/C3, manufactured by PHILIPS, is a robust and highly capable electronic component designed to enhance system performance in a variety of applications. It utilizes a single external Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) organized as 1M × 16 interfacing at 81 MHz, ensuring efficient and rapid data processing. In order to boost performance and versatility, this powerful device is designed to be compatible with both 'lite' and 'PC' versions of the SDRAM.

The SAA7201H/C3 also showcases a fast external CPU interface composed of a 16-bit data + 8-bit address, facilitating swift data transfer and computational efficiency. One of its dedicated inputs is particularly suited for audio and video data in PES or ES format, permitting a data input rate of up to 9 MBytes/s in byte mode, and 20 Mbit/s in bit serial mode. This flexible component also allows audio and/or video data to be inputted via the CPU interface. It employs a single 27 MHz external clock for timebase reference and internal processing, thereby generating all the required decoding and presentation clocks internally.
Furthermore, the internal system time base operates at 90 kHz and can be synchronized via the CPU port. It also offers flexible memory allocation controlled by the external CPU, which makes it possible to optimally partition memory for different tasks. With boundary scan (JTAG) plus external SDRAM self-test implemented, the SAA7201H/C3 ensures reliable operation. Provided as a 3.3 V supply voltage unit in a 160 QFP package, this product establishes a new standard in performance and utility.
