Description

The Si21622C integrates two separate high-performance digital

demodulators for the DVB-T2/T, and DVB-C2/C standards into a

single compact package. Leveraging Skyworks' proven digital

demodulation architecture, the Si21622C achieves excellent

reception performance for each media while significantly

minimizing front-end design complexity, cost, and power

dissipation. Connecting the Si21622C to a dual terrestrial/cable TV

tuner results in a high-performance and cost optimized TV frontend

solution.

Skyworks' internally developed DVB-C2 demodulator can accept a

standard IF (36 MHz) or low-IF input (differential) and support all

modes specified by the DVB-C2 standard. The main features of

the DVB-C2 mode are 4096-QAM, 6 or 8 MHz bandwidth,

management of notch insertion (broadband and narrowband), and

support of multiple data slices and PLPs.

DVB-T2 (including T2-Lite) demodulators support all modes

specified by the DVB-T2 standard (V1.4.1). Main features of the

DVB-T2 mode are, SISO and MISO support, FEF management,

fully autonomous signal acquisition including automatic L1

signaling parsing support for all pilot patterns, and DVB-T2/T autodetection.

The DVB-T and DVB-C, including ITU-T J.83 annex B,

demodulators are enhanced versions of proven and broadly used

Si2164/67/68/69 Skyworks devices.

The Si21622C offers an on-chip blind scanning algorithm for the

DVB-C, as well as blind lock function. The Si21622C embeds two

independent programmable transport stream interfaces which

provide a flexible range of output modes, including a cross-bar

functionality, and are fully compatible with all MPEG decoders or

conditional access modules to support any customer application.
