Overview

The H.264 Decoder IP Core offers a high-efficiency video decoding solution tailored for a wide range of applications, including multimedia, surveillance, broadcast, and automotive systems. Compliant with the ITU-T H.264/AVC standard, it enables real-time decoding of high-definition video streams while maintaining low latency and power consumption.

Designed for flexibility, the IP core is highly configurable to meet specific design requirements, supporting both ASIC and FPGA implementations while optimizing for area, power, and performance. It supports baseline, main, and high profiles, and includes features like error resilience, low-latency decode modes, and seamless integration with video processing pipelines.

Compliance and Compatibility

  • Compliant with ISO/IEC 14496-10/ITU-T H.264 specification
  • Compatible with all major EDA synthesis, simulation, linting flows

Key features

  • High-Resolution Video Decode – Supports decoding up to 3840×2160 @ 60fps for 4K Ultra HD content
  • Comprehensive H.264/AVC Support – Decodes all slice types: I, P, B, SI, and SP for full compliance across stream types
  • Flexible Profile and Level Support – Handles Baseline, Main, and High profiles up to Level 6.2
  • Chroma Format Versatility – Supports 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4:2:0 chroma subsampling to match diverse input streams
  • High Bit Depth Processing – Supports 8-bit and 10-bit bitstreams for HDR and high-fidelity video applications

Keeping Pace with CXL Specification Revisions

As the Compute Express Link® (CXL®) specification rapidly evolves, so too must the tools and infrastructure used to verify designs built around it. Maintaining verification IP (VIP) that keeps pace with new specification revisions is no small task, particularly when dealing with major version shifts like the transition from CXL 2.0 to 3.0.

SmartDV Licenses SDIO IP Family to Ranix for V2X Products

To meet RANiX’s unique design goals, SmartDV will customize the IP to go beyond the standard SDIO functionality—thereby empowering RANiX to differentiate from their competitors. SmartDV will also provide RANiX with the requisite support and documentation to achieve ASIL certification for ISO 26262.

SmartDV Rolls Out Multi-Phase Expansion Plan

SmartDV™ Technologies, provider of flexible, customizable semiconductor design IP (intellectual property) and verification solutions, has expanded engineering operations beyond its headquarters in Bengaluru with the opening of a new office space in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India.
