ISDB-T and DVB-T/C/S/S2/S2X Demodulator
Description
The Si2181 integrates digital demodulators for the Japanese and
South American terrestrial ISDB-T standard and for all first and
second generation DVB standards (DVB-T/C/S/S2 and S2X) in a
single advanced CMOS die. Leveraging Silicon Labs' proven
digital demodulation architecture, the Si2181 achieves excellent
reception performance for each media while significantly
minimizing front-end design complexity, cost, and power
dissipation. Connecting the Si2181 to a hybrid TV tuner or digital
only tuner, such as Silicon Labs' Si217x/5x/4x devices, results in a
high-performance and cost optimized TV or STB front-end
solution.
Leveraging significant field exper
ie
nce in DVB terrestrial
demodulation (DVB-T), Silicon Labs’ internally-developed ISDB-T
demodulator can accept standard or low-IF inputs (differential) and
complies with the Brazilian SBTVD-T terrestrial specifications
(ABNT NBR 16.601 and 15.604). Main features include fast
channel scan, very short lock times, state of the art CCI
performance, partial reception, and auxiliary channels decoding.
DVB-T, DVB-C, and DVB-S2/S demodulators are next-generation
enhanced versions
of pr
oven and broadly-used Silicon Labs’
Si2169/68/67/66/64/62/60 devices.
The satellite reception allows
de
modulating 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. Si2181
embeds DiSEqC
TM
2.0 LNB interface for satellite dish control and
an equalizer to compensate for echoes in long cable feeds from
the antenna to the satellite tuner input.
The cable reception allows demodulating widely deployed DVB-C
leg
a
cy standard (ITU-T J.83 Annex A/C) and the Americas' cable
standard (ITU-T J.83 Annex B).
The Si2181 offers an on-chip blind scan algorithm for DVB-S/S2/
S2X
and DVB-C st
andards, as well as a blind lock function. The
Si2181 programmable transport stream output interface provides a
flexible range of output modes and is fully compatible with all
MPEG decoders or conditional access modules to support any
customer application.
