A television on a chip (TVOC) system that provides a cost effective approach for providing television functionality on a single integrated circuit chip is disclosed. A TVOC includes the functionality necessary to receive and display television signals in a variety of input and output formats. A TVOC can be used in set-top boxes for cable and satellite television, or directly within a television. All functionality provided can be provided on a single integrated circuit. TVOC includes a data transport module, an IF demodulator, a digital audio engine, an analog audio engine, a digital video engine, and an analog video engine. The TVOC also includes three sets of interfaces including output interfaces, control interfaces and ancillary interfaces. Further features and embodiments provide enhanced functionality and increased efficiencies.

Television functionality on a chip

A system and method allow for overriding of a strapping option. A strapping signal places a device (e.g., a processor) in first state or mode (e.g., client or master). An override system places the device in a second state or mode. The second state or mode can be temporary. The changing of the state or mode of the device can be used to perform testing of the chip, during which a memory is written to and read from to verify operation of the chip. The second state or mode of the device may also be used to allow the device to perform alternative functions that are not available during its first state or mode.
