Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320DM8168

According to sprz329, DM8168 needs special ACTVID timing that is not normal in BT.601 style interface. I’ve found this restriction will be resolved in PG2.0 at following post :

I’d like to know what the meaning of “PG 2.x” is. Is it a version ? If then, when I can purchase this new one ?

Sympson,

PG 2.0 will be the next silicon revision of the device, expanding the offerings. I'm unsure of exactly what "PG" stands for - if someone could provide this I'd be interested in knowing.

PG 2.0 corresponds to the letter following the 8168 in the part #. PG 1.1 silicon was TMS320DM8168ACYG2, and PG 2.0 will be TMX320DM8168BCYG2. I'm unsure, but I believe the first PG 2.0 is shipping late this year / early next year.

Hello,

PG basically refers to the silicon version. You can order samples of the version 2.0 silicon in the product folders.
