Description

The Si21672-B integrates two separate high-performance

DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-S, and DVB-S2 digital demodulators into

a single compact package for terrestrial, cable, and satellite

TV standards. Leveraging Skyworks' proven digital

demodulation architecture, each embedded demodulator

achieves excellent reception performance for each media

while significantly minimizing front-end design complexity and

cost. Connecting the Si21672-B to both a dual

terrestrial/cable TV tuner, and a dual satellite tuner, results in

a high-performance and cost optimized TV front-end solution.

The DVB-T and DVB-C demodulators are enhanced versions

of proven and broadly used Si2167/68/69 Skyworks devices.

Furthermore, ITU J.83 Annex B is also supported for US and

South American cable networks. The IF input supports

standard IF (36 MHz) or low-IF.

The satellite demodulation functionality allows demodulating

widely deployed DVB-S, DIRECTV™ (DSS) legacy

standards, and DVB-S2 (AMC compliant)) satellite

broadcasts. A zero-IF interface allows for a seamless

connection to market proven satellite silicon tuners.

The Si21672-B offers an on-chip blind scanning algorithm for

DVB-S/S2 and DVB-C standards (as well as blind lock). It

also integrates two DiSEqC™ 2.0 LNB interfaces for satellite

dish control and, for each satellite demodulator, an equalizer

to compensate for echoes in long cable feeds from the LNB to

the satellite tuner RF input.

The Si21672-B embeds two independent programmable

transport stream interfaces which provide a flexible range of

output modes and are fully compatible with all MPEG

decoders or conditional access modules to support any

customer application.
