New Family of High Performance, Low Power Satellite and Cable Front-Ends

• Integrates high performance A/D converters in .25 micron technology
• Easy and low cost interface to ZeroIF tuner devices
• Wide frequency range from 1 to 50Msymbols per second supports both SCPC and MCPC applications
• Compliance with common interface specifications
• Outstanding bit error rate performance and wide carrier tracking range (up to 45MHz) improves the robustness of the system
• Housed in a small TQFP64 package which optimizes board size

• Integrates a high performance A/D converter in .25µ technology, a fully digital QAM demodulator for ITU J83-A (DVB-C) and performs equalization, DEC and framing
• Can be used in direct IF sampling architectures in all QAM modes (16,32,64,128 and 256-QAM)
• Supports variable symbol rates from .87 to over 11Msps
• Includes all decoding functions from interface to MPEG/TS and offers a wide range of output formats including DVB common interface and STi55xx direct interface
• Packaged in a TQFP64, power consumption is low at .5 typical and is a cost-effect solution for cable receivers

• Performs the physical layer and the TC layer compliant with DVB-RC specifications
• Performs the MAC processing and communication with the main CPU

OMEGA Development Platform minimizing time-to-market.
