STV2160-HK Integrated Circuit

The STV2160-HK is an integrated circuit (IC) manufactured by SGS-Thomson (now STMicroelectronics), commonly used in older cathode-ray tube (CRT) televisions as a video processor and I²C controller.

Here are the main technical specifications and features:

• Main function: Video processor for colour TVs (handling video signals, deflection and control interface).
• Control: I²C bus for parameter configuration and adjustment.
• Power supply: Typically 5V (logic/control) and 8V / 12V (analogue/video section), depending on the TV chassis application schematic.
• Features:
  • Handling of CVBS and RGB inputs.
  • Luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) processing.
  • RGB outputs for driving the final video stage (picture tube board).
  • Synchronisation processing (Sync separator) and generation of horizontal and vertical deflection signals (often paired with a dedicated deflection IC).
• Package: SDIP 56 or similar high pin-count packages typical of 1990s TV microcontrollers/processors.

Note: As this is an out-of-production (obsolete) component, its availability is limited to the spare parts market for vintage or CRT TV repairs. For detailed circuit diagrams, refer to the original STMicroelectronics datasheet for the specific TV chassis (e.g., Saba, Thomson, Telefunken chassis of the era).
