Description

The Si21692D integrates two separate high-performance digital

demodulators for the DVB-T2/T/C, DVB-S2/S and DVB-S2X

standards into a single compact package. Leveraging Skyworks'

proven digital demodulation architecture, the Si21692D achieves

excellent reception performance for each media while significantly

minimizing front-end design complexity, cost, and power

dissipation. Connecting the Si21692D 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.

Skyworks’ internally-developed 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 auto-detection.

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 satellite reception allows demodulating widespread DVB-S,

DIRECTV™ (DSS), DVB-S2, DIRECTV™ (AMC) legacy

standards, and new Part II of DVB-S2 (S2X) satellite broadcast

standard. A zero-IF interface (differential) allows for a seamless

connection to market proven satellite silicon tuners. 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 Si21692D offers an on-chip blind scanning algorithm for DVBS/

S2/S2X and DVB-C standards, as well as blind lock function.

The Si21692D 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.
