Integrated features in the BCM3033 include an integrated ITU-T J.83 Annex A (DVB/DAVIC/ IEEE802.14), Annex B (DigiCipher® II/SCTE/DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS/ IEEE802.14), and Annex C (Japan) FEC encoder, a QAM modulator and a D/A converter. The encoder provides coding gain and burst error correction and can be programmed to comply with the ITU-T J.83 Annex A, Annex B and Annex C coding standards. Baseband filtering and quadrature upconversion of the resulting signal is provided by the integrated QAM modulator, which can achieve IF frequencies of up to half the output sample rate. The QAM modulator is rate adaptable up to 7 megabaud and supports 4-, 16-, 32-, 64-, 128-, and 256-QAM. triple linear-phase square-root Nyquist baseband filters are in the QAM modulator and have a programmable excess bandwidth factor of 12%, 15% or 18%. The QAM modulator also has an X/sinX filter that compensates for DAC distortion. The M-Bus/SPI Interface MICRO[4:0] integrated DAC in the BCM3033 is a 10-bit, 114-MS/s DAC with differential analog outputs. Operation of the BCM3033 involves a serial or parallel bit stream input that can be passed through the FEC encoder or directly to the modulator. The resulting data is interpolated, filtered, and modulated to the IF carrier. The modulator provides a 10-bit output at the chosen sample rate, which is converted to a 2-Vpp differential analog output waveform by the integrated 10-bit D/A converter. The BCM3033 is a flexible, cost-effective worldwide solution. Because the chip accepts variable data rates and supports multiple digital transmission standards, manufacturers need to develop only one modulator for worldwide use. The integrated feature set in the BCM3033 significantly reduces the board space in modulators, giving manufactures a chip solution that is both cost effective and easy to use.
