The QAM receiver directly samples a tuner output with a 11-bit A/D converter and input ACG amplifier. The receiver digitally resamples and demodulates the signal with recovered clock and carrier timing, filters and equalizes the data and passes soft decisions to an ITU-T J.83 Annex A/B/C compatible decoder. The receiver supports variable symbol rate 4/16/32/64/128/256/512/1024-QAM FEC decoding. The final received data stream is delivered in a serial MPEG-2 transport format. All gain, clock, and carrier, acquisition and tracking loops are integrated in the QAM receiver. The upstream transmitter takes burst or continuous data, provides FEC encoding and pre-equalization for DOCSIS applications, filters and applies 2/4/8/16/64/128/256-QAM or S-CDMA modulation to the data stream, amplifies the signal through the integrated upstream power amplifier, and provides a direct 0 MHz – 65 MHz analog output. The BCM3349 MAC includes all features required for full DOCSIS/ EuroDOCSIS 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 compliance, including full support for baseline privacy (BPI+) encryption and decryption. Single-user support includes six SIDs in downstream, four DA perfect-match filters, a 256entry CAM for multicast/unicast hash filter, and 16 independent upstream queues for simultaneous support of QoS and BE traffic. To enhance operational support, the BCM3349 MAC provides extended DOCSIS 2.0 16 SID MAC Module 200 MHz MIPS32 Core (250 mips) 8/8 KB I/D-Cache BCM3349 SPI I/F Serial Flash (opt) 2.5V Regulator PNP 1.2V Regulator PNP network management MIB/diagnostic features, as well as immediate UCC (on-the-fly) using independent resets for downstream and upstream and both individual queues reset/flush for upstream queues. Enhanced end-to-end 2.0+ features increase overall performance and robustness. First, SmartSpectrum is a suite of technology that delivers increased noise immunity and improved performance in noisy conditions. SmartSpectrum includes Hi-PER SCDMA (High Power SCDMA) mode for highly attenuated connections, BPSK modulation that delivers a 3 dB gain in poor plant connectivity, Impulse Noise Mitigation to reduce packet error rate caused by impulse noise, and Trellis Coding (TCM-TDMA) that provides up to a 2 dB RF signal gain. Second, certified Propane packet accelerator technology delivers enhanced efficiency with DPHS (Dynamic Paylo ad Header Suppression), which increases upstream payload capacity by up to 3 times, and Sync-TDMA (Synchronous TDMA), which increases capacity with a smaller preamble. Lastly, Broadcom’s TurboQAM technology significantly increases overall performance of the system. 1024 QAM downstream and 256 QAM ATDMA upstream deliver an over 30% performance increase. The BCM3349 pinout has been optimized to allow an ultra low-cost 2-layer PCB. With the incorporation of an upstream power amplifier and Ethernet PHY, the BCM3349 allows a complete cable modem to be assembled with a minimal set of external components. When used with the BCM3419 silicon tuner, the BCM3349 offers the most cost-effective solution for a high- performance, single-user DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem.
