STV0368

概要

The STV0368 is a single-chip DVB-T, T2, C, S and S2 demodulator.

Operation is exclusive in that only one signal (standard) can be processed at any time.

The DVB-T2 demodulator features microcontroller assisted operation enabling the fast tracking and response times demanded by the T2 standard. For the T, C, S and S2 standards, where the demands for immediate response are much lower, classical software control from the host processor has been implemented. Even though the silicon implementation is highly optimized, allowing each standard to share common hardware blocks, effort has been made to maintain a common look and feel with the ST established product line. This allows users who are familiar with the ST products STV0367, STV0297E and STV0913 to familiarize themselves quickly and eventually optimize the drivers as necessary. Optimization of the T2 microcode requires additional compilers which are, for the moment, supported exclusively by ST.

The DVB T, T2 and C demodulators share a common input which may be operated in ZIF mode or in IF mode. Silicon as well as traditional CAN tuners are supported through a flexible IF/baseband interface with IF/BB AGC and I²C control

A separate input is implemented for the DVB-S and S2 demodulators. The ST single-channel tuner range is fully supported. Furthermore, the flexible ZIF IQ inputs, RF AGC and I²C allow the use of third-party tuner solutions when required.
