QAMi5516 ® Single module demodulator and decoder IC for digital video set-top boxes DATA BRIEF Description . The QAMi5516 is an integrated demodulator/decoder solution for digital cable receivers for compressed video, sound and data services. A QAM demodulator performs IF to MPEG-2 block processing of QAM carriers. The demodulated stream is then processed by video and audio decoders using standard Omega technology. The QAMi5516 contains all of the most commonly used descramblers, and thus allows a single platform to be developed to cover the entire mainstream set-top box market (USA, Europe, Asia) Application: Highly cost-effective solution for digital cable set-top boxes Flash SDRAM (optional) IR Tx/Rx SDRAM Tuner IF in SSCn_DIN/DOUT SDA QAMi5516 RGB SSCn_SCLK SCL Serial/parallel TSOUT CVBS/YC TSIN1/2 VCR RS232 March 2004 1/2 QAMi5516 ■ Graphics/display Features 5 display planes (background, video, still, OSD and cursor) ● 2, 4 and 8bpp CLUT graphics ● ■ Decodes ITU-T J.83-Annexes A/B/C and DVBC bitstreams ■ Integrated high performance ADC ■ Support for 4-, 16-, 32-, 64-, 128-, 256-point constellation variable symbol ■ PAL/NTSC/SECAM video encoder RGB, CVBS, Y/C and YUV outputs with 10-bit DACs ● Encoding of CGMS, teletext, WSS, VPS, closed caption ● Macrovision 7.01 copy protection ● ■ Rate from 0.87 MBaud to 11.7 MBaud ■ Robust integrated adaptative equalizer ■ I²C serial bus and I²C repeater ■ Lock time <100ms ■ Interfaces ■ 180 MHz 32-bit ST20 CPU ● CableCard and dual DVB common interface ● 5 ASCs (UARTs) with Tx and Rx FIFOs ● 8 Kbytes internal SRAM, 8 Kbytes of I-cache and 8 Kbytes of D-cache ■ Integrated transport demultiplexer ● DES, DVB and ICAM descramblers ● Support for more than 48 PID slots ■ MPEG-2 MP@ML video decoder ● Fully programmable horizontal and vertical SRCs ● 6 x 8-bit banks of parallel I/O ● 2 smartcard interfaces and clock generators ● 4 PWM channels ● Multichannel IR transmitter/receiver ● Low power/RTC/watchdog controller ■ Module features Low power consumption (~1500 mW) ● Package: 27 x 27 mm 416 PBGA, 1 mm pitch ● ■ Audio features MPEG-1 layers I/II decoding (MP3 option) ● Dolby Digital 5.1 down-mixed to 2 channels ● Dolby Pro Logic compatible ● SRS TruSurround virtual surround sound ● PCM audio input ● Integrated audio DACs ● Ordering information Device number Description QAMi5516AUA Integrated cable demodulator/decoder CBR1300 Development platform for QAMi5516 Information furnished is believed to be accurate and reliable.
