We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "HDTV",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Scan compression eases HDTV IC test regime from
Synopsys, which we summarised at the time by saying "DFT MAX automatically implements scan compression on-chip, which can reduce the amount of data required to test each manufactured part by 95% or more".
The day before,
we featured the news release Audio amplifier simplifies entertainment design from
Texas Instruments (April 2006-): "Audio line driver integrates a charge pump to allow a complete audio output signal chain to run from a single 3.3V power supply".
In February 2008, we covered the news from Agilent Technologies Europe
concerning its InfiniiScan Plus
- take a look at Oscilloscope reaches landmark speed
which says: "The InfiniiScan Plus enables 150ps hardware-event identification and 75ps software-event identification".
Take a look also at the news release from NXP Semiconductors, Cellular baseband can evolve with standards,
as well as Reference deal facilitates high-speed internet from Tensilica,
and UWB chipset supports 1394 expansion from Pulse-Link.
