Description
The TDA9381PS is a highly integrated TV signal processor IC from the TDA93xx family (Philips/NXP), combining analog video processing, audio processing, and an embedded microcontroller into a single chip. It is specifically designed for CRT television receivers, particularly in cost-sensitive (economy) designs.
The various versions of theTDA935X/6X/8X PS/N2 series combine the functions of a TV signal processor together with aµ-Controller and US Closed Caption decoder. Most versions have a Teletext decoder on board. The Teletext decoder has an internal RAM memory for 1or 10 page text. The ICs are intended to be used in economy television receivers with 90°and 110°picture tubes. The ICs have supply voltages of 8 V and 3.3 V and they are mounted in S-DIP envelope with 64 pins.
Key Architecture
- TV signal processor + embedded µ-controller

- Internal RAM for Teletext pages
Pinout
Design Insights (Important)
- Separate analog and digital supply decoupling is critical
- Crystal/clock stability affects video timing and MCU operation
- Proper grounding reduces noise in video output
- Teletext RAM size determines feature capability (1 vs 10 pages)
- Firmware inside MCU is mask-programmed → limited customization
Advantages
- Very high integration → minimal external components
- Cost-effective for mass production
- Built-in Teletext and caption features
- Simplified system design
Typical Applications
- CRT televisions (economy class)
- Analog TV receivers
- Low-cost display systems
