STV0498
Applications
The STV0498 kit, when accompanied with a back-end decoder, provides a complete
low-cost solution for interactive cable set-top boxes.
The STV0498 has been designed to work as a kit with an analog front-end companion chip,
the STV0130. This analog chip does the analog-digital conversion for the QAM signal input
and the digital-analog conversion for the DOCSIS return path whilst the STV0498 does the
digital operations.
The STV0498 performs downstream and upstream operations for video and data. Three
high-performance QAM/FEC modules demodulate and correct the cable signals to be sent
either to a stream merger for video application or to the DOCSIS media access controller
(MAC) for data flow. The forward error correction (FEC) blocks support the ITU-T J83 Annex
A, B and C specification. The demodulators support square constellation from the QPSK
used in legacy out-of-band (SCTE-55 parts 1 and 2) to QAM 256 and non-square
constellation such as QAM 32 and QAM 128. The Japanese transport stream multiplex
(TSMF) is also supported.
The merged video stream is compatible with Multi-Stream CableCARD. This stream is then
sent to a standard video decoder. Up to three video channels can be received
simultaneously.
The DOCSIS subsystem is fully compatible with the DOCSIS 2.0 specification and supports
downstream channel bonding, compatible with the DOCSIS 3.0 specification, bringing the
data rate up to 120 Mbit/s. Up to 16 QOS channels can be supported simultaneously. The
STV0130 analog block provides direct connection to the upstream power amplifier. All
DOCSIS operations are controlled by a high performance CPU running the OS21 operating
system.
Integrated peripheral blocks (the Ethernet and USB interfaces, for example) provide
low-cost connections between the DOCSIS modem and the host computer. MPX is a
primary connection mode between the STV0498 and ST decoder chips.
Several modes of operations are available, from a stand-alone mode to a fully embedded
solution with the back-end device.
